Jeremiah 11

1 This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:

Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren:

2 “Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].

Hør denne Pagts Ord og tal til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems. Borgere

3 Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.

og sig: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Forbandet være den, der ikke hører denne Pagts Ord,

4 It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.

som jeg bød eders Fædre holde, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, af Jernovnen, idet jeg sagde: "Hør min Røst og gør alt, hvad jeg pålægger eder, så skal I være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud

5 [Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”

og holde den Ed, jeg tilsvor eders Fædre om at give dem et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, som det nu er sket!" Og jeg svarede: "Amen, HERRE!"

6 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.

Og HERREN sagde til mig: Udråb alle disse Ord i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader: Hør denne Pagts Ord og hold dem!

7 When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.

Thi jeg besvor eders Fædre, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, ja til den Dag i Dag, årle og silde: "Hør min Røst!"

8 But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”

Men de hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men fulgte alle deres onde Hjertes Stivsind. Derfor bragte jeg over dem alle denne Pagts Ord, som jeg havde pålagt dem at holde, men som de ikke holdt.

9 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.

Og HERREN sagde til mig: Der er fundet en Sammensværgelse blandt Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere;

10 Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.

de er vendt tilbage til deres Forfædres Misgerninger, de, som vægrede sig ved at høre mine Ord og holdt sig til fremmede Guder og dyrkede dem; Israels Hus og Judas Hus har brudt den Pagt, jeg sluttede med deres Fædre.

11 So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.

Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg sender en Ulykke over dem, som de ikke kan slippe fra; og når de da råber til mig, vil jeg ikke høre dem.

12 When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.

Da skal Judas Byer og Jerusalems Borgere gå hen og råbe til de Guder, de tænder Offerild for; men de kan ikke frelse dem i Nødens Stund.

13 There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.

Thi mange som dine Byer er dine Guder, Juda, og mange som Gaderne i Jerusalem er Altrene, I har rejst for Skændselen, Altrene til af tænde Offerild for Baal.

14 Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”

Men du må ikke gå i Forbøn for dette Folk eller frembære Klage og Bøn for det; thi jeg hører ikke, når de råber til mig i Nødens Stund.

15 Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.

Hvad vil min elskede i mit Hus, hun, som øved Svig? Kan Fedt og helligt kød borttage din Ondskab, eller kan du reddes ved sligt?

16 I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.

Et grønt Oliventræ, skønt at skue, så kaldte HERREN dit Navn. Under voldsom Buldren og Bragen afsved Ilden dets Løv og brændte dets Grene.

17 [It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”

Hærskarers HERRE, som plantede dig, truer dig med Ulykke til Straf for det onde, Israels Hus og Judas Hus gjorde for at krænke mig, idet de tændte Offerild for Baal.

18 Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.

HERREN lod mig det vide, derfor ved jeg det; da lod du mig se deres Gerninger.

19 [Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].

Og jeg var som et tålsomt Lam, der føres til Slagtning. Jeg vidste ej af, at de tænkte på Rænker imod mig: "Lad os ødelægge Træet i Blomst, udrydde ham af de levendes Land, så hans Navn ej ihukommes mer."

20 [Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”

Hærskarers HERRE, retfærdige Dommer, som prøver Nyrer og Hjerte, lad mig skue din Hævn på dem, thi på dig har jeg væltet min Sag.

21 It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.

Derfor, så siger HERREN om Mændene i Anatot, som står mig efter Livet og siger: "Du må ikke profetere i HERRENs Navn; ellers skal du dø for vor Hånd"

22 So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.

derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, jeg, vil hjemsøge dem; deres unge Mænd skal dø for Sværd, deres Sønner og Døtre af Hunger;

23 I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”

der skal ikke levnes dem nogen Rest, thi jeg sender Ulykke over Mændene i Anatot, når Året, de skal hjemsøges kommer.
