Jeremiah 25
1 After Jehoiakim had been ruling Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave me this message for all the people of Judah. It was during the year that King Nebuchadnezzar started to rule in Babylon.
Detta är det ord, som till Jeremia skedde, öfver allt Juda folk, uti fjerde årena Jojakims, Josia sons, Juda Konungs, hvilket det första året är NebucadNezars, Konungens i Babel;
2 I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:
Hvilket ock Propheten Jeremia talade till allt Juda folk, och till alla Jerusalems inbyggare, och sade:
3 “Yahweh has been giving me messages for 23 years. He started giving me messages when Josiah, the son of Amon, had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. And I have faithfully told you those messages, but you have not paid any attention to them.
Herrans ord är skedt till mig, ifrå trettonde årena Josia, Amos sons, Juda Konungs, allt intill denna dag, och jag hafver det nu i tre och tjugu år med flit predikat eder; men I hafven icke velat hörat.
4 Many times Yahweh has sent to you the prophets who served him, but you have not listened to them or paid any attention to what they said.
Så hafver ock Herren sändt till eder alla sina tjenare Propheterna ganska fliteliga; men I hafven intet velat höra dem, eller böja edor öron dertill, att I måtten hörat;
5 Each time their message was this: ‘Turn from all your evil behavior [MET], from all the evil things that you have continually been doing. If you do that, you will be able to stay in this land that Yahweh gave to you and to your ancestors, [to belong to you] forever.
Då han sade: Omvänder eder hvar och en af sinom onda väg, och ifrån edart onda väsende; så skolen I blifva i landena, som Herren eder och edra fäder gifvit hafver, i evig tid.
6 Do not cause Yahweh to become angry by serving and worshiping idols that you have made with your hands. If you do not cause him to be angry, he will not punish/harm you.’
Efterföljer icke andra gudar, så att I tjenen och tillbedjen dem, på det I icke skolen förtörna mig, genom edra händers verk, och jag eder olycko tillfoga må.
7 And Yahweh says, ‘But you would not pay attention to the messages that I [gave to those prophets]. You caused me to become extremely angry by [your worshiping idols] that you had made with your own hands. That resulted in my punishing you.
Men I villen intet höra mig, säger Herren, på det I ju skullen förtörna mig, genom edra händers verk, till edor egen olycko.
8 So [now, I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that because you have not paid attention to what I said,
Derföre så säger Herren Zebaoth: Efter I icke villen höra min ord,
9 I will gather all [the armies of] the nations that will come from the northeast. I have appointed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lead them. I have appointed him to do my work for me. I will bring those [armies] to attack this land and nearby countries. I will completely destroy them, and cause them to be places that people are horrified about, and that people will (ridicule/act contemptuously toward), places that will be ruined forever.
Si, så skall jag utsända och komma låta allt folk af nordan, säger Herren, och min tjenare NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, och skall låta dem komma öfver detta land, och öfver dem som deruti bo, och öfver allt detta folk som häromkring ligger, och skall gifva dem till spillo och förderfvelse, och göra dem till hån och evigt öde;
10 I will cause happy singing and laughing to cease in your land. There will no longer be brides and bridegrooms talking [joyfully]. There will not be the sound of people grinding [grain] with millstones. There will be no lamps lit [in your houses].
Och skall taga ifrå dem all glädjesång, brudgummes och bruds röst, qvarns röst, och lyktos ljus:
11 All of this land will become a desert where no one will live. And [the people of] Israel and of the nearby countries will [will be exiled to Babylonia and] (work for/be slaves of) the kings of Babylon for seventy years.
Så att allt detta landet skall öde och förstördt ligga; och skola denna folken tjena Konungen i Babel i sjutio år.
12 Then, after [they have been in Babylonia for] seventy years, I will punish the King of Babylonia and his people for the sins that they have committed. I will cause Babylonia to become a wasteland/desert forever.
Men när de sjutio år ute äro, så skall jag hemsöka Konungen i Babel, och allt det folket, säger Herren, för deras missgerningars skull; dertill ock de Chaldeers land, och skall görat till ett evigt öde.
13 I will cause them to experience all the terrible things that Jeremiah has written about—all the punishments that he predicted will happen to all those nations.
Alltså skall jag låta komma öfver detta land all min ord, som jag emot det talat hafver, nämliga allt det i denna bok skrifvet står, det Jeremia öfver all folk spått hafver.
14 The leaders of many nations will cause the people of Babylonia to become their slaves, like the people of Babylonia caused my people to become slaves. I will punish them like they deserve for [having caused my people to suffer].’”
Och de skola också tjena, ändock de mägtig folk och väldige Konungar äro. Alltså skall jag vedergälla dem efter förtjenst, och efter deras händers verk.
15 Then Yahweh, the God [we] Israelis [worship], gave me [a vision. In the vision he was holding a cup of wine]. He said, “Take from me this cup that is full of [wine that represents] punishment [MTY]. I will cause all [the leaders of] the nations to which I will send you to drink [some of] the wine in this cup.
Ty så säger Herren, Israels Gud, till mig: Tag denna vinbägaren, fullan med vrede utaf mine hand, och skänk derutaf allom folkom, dem jag sänder dig till;
16 When they drink [the wine], they will stagger and act like crazy people, because [they will realize that] I will (massacre many of their people/cause many of their people to be killed) [MTY] with swords.”
Att de måga dricka, raga och blifva galne, för svärdena som jag ibland dem sända skall.
17 So, [in the vision, ] I took that cup [full of wine] from Yahweh, and I took it to all the nations to which he sent me, and caused [the leaders of those] nations to drink [some of that wine].
Och jag tog bägaren af Herrans hand, och skänkte allom folkom, der Herren sände mig till;
18 [I went to] Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah, and the king and [the other] officials drank [some of the wine] from that cup. And, starting from that day, they all [eventually] were removed from having authority, and became [people whom others] (ridiculed/acted contemptuously towards), who were despised, and cursed.
Nämliga Jerusalem, Juda städer, hans Konungar och Förstar, att de skola öde och förstörde ligga, och skola vara till hån och bannor, såsom det nu i denna dag tillstår;
19 [In the vision I went to] Egypt [and gave some of the wine] to the king and his officials and many of his people,
Desslikes Pharao, Konungenom i Egypten, samt med hans tjenarom, hans Förstar och allt hans folk;
20 and to foreigners who were living there. [In the vision I also went to] Uz land and to Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod [cities and gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
All land vesterut; allom Konungom i Uz land, allom Konungom i de Palestiners land, samt med Askelon, Gasa, Ekron, och dem igenlefdom i Asdod;
21 [Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],
Dem af Edom, dem af Moab, Ammons barnom;
22 and to Tyre and Sidon [cities] and to areas across the [Mediterranean] Sea, and [gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
Allom Konungom i Tyro; allom Konungom i Zidon; Konungomen i de öar på hinsidone hafvet;
23 [In the vision I then went] to Dedan, Tema, and Buz [cities in Arabia] and to other distant places (OR, places where people cut their hair short), [and gave some of the wine to leaders in those areas].
Dem af Dedan, dem af Thema, dem af Bus, och allom Förstom i de landsändar;
24 [In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert
Allom Konungom i Arabien, allom Konungom vesterut, de i öknene bo;
25 and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],
Allom Konungom i Simri, allom Konungom i Elam, allom Konungom i Meden;
26 and to kings in countries to the north that are near [to Israel] and to countries that are far [from Israel], one after the other— [I went to] all the kingdoms in the world [HYP]. And finally, [in my vision I went to] Babylon, and gave [some of] the wine to the king of Babylon—the wine [that symbolized that Yahweh would punish the people of Babylon because he was angry with them] [MTY].
Allom Konungom norrut, både när och fjerran, den ene med den andra; och allom Konungom på jordene, som på jordenes krets äro; och Konung Sesach skall dricka efter dessa.
27 Then [in the vision Yahweh said to me], “Tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Drink [from this cup some of the wine that represents the punishment that I will give you]. Drink [a lot of it] and become drunk and vomit. You will fall down and not get up again, because I will cause you to be killed in wars [MTY] that I will send to you.
Och säg till dem: Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Dricker, att I druckne varden, spyn och fallen, och icke kunnen uppstå, för svärdet som jag ibland eder sända skall.
28 If any of those to whom you give this wine [MTY] refuse to drink it, tell them that the Commander of the armies of angels says that they must drink it.
Och om de icke vilja taga bägaren af dine hand och dricka, så säg till dem: Alltså säger Herren Zebaoth: I skolen dricka.
29 I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. [Do you think that] you should not be punished [RHQ]? No, you will surely be punished [LIT] because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’
Ty si, uti dem stadenom, som af mitt Namn nämnd är, begynner jag till att plåga; menen I, att I skolen ostraffade blifva? I skolen intet ostraffade blifva; ty jag kallar svärdet öfver alla de som bo på jordene, säger Herren Zebaoth.
30 Now tell them all those things that I have said, and also say this to them: ‘Yahweh will [shout to them] from his holy dwelling [in heaven] [MTY] and [it will sound like] the roar of a lion. He will shout like [SIM] people shout when they are treading on grapes [to make juice for wine]; he will shout to everyone on the earth.
Och du skall prophetera dem all dessa orden, och säg till dem: Herren skall ryta utu höjdene, och låta höra sin dunder utaf sine heliga boning; han skall ryta öfver sina boning, han skall sjunga ena viso, lika som en vintrampare, öfver alla landsens inbyggare;
31 Even people in very remote places around the earth will hear him shouting, because he will say why he will judge and punish all the nations. He will cause the wicked people to be slaughtered with swords. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.’
Hvilkens ljud skall höras intill verldenes ända; ty Herren hafver till att skaffa i rätta med Hedningomen, och skall hålla en dom med allt kött; de ogudaktiga skall han gifva under svärd, säger Herren.
32 Then tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Listen to this! There will be disasters in one nation after another. [I am preparing to punish them like] [MET] a great storm that starts in the most distant places on the earth.
Detta säger Herren Zebaoth: Si, en plåga skall komma ifrå det ena folket till det andra, och ett stort väder skall uppväckt varda ifrå landsens sido.
33 When that happens, [the corpses of] those whom I have [caused to be] slaughtered will fill the earth from the east to the west. And no one will mourn for them, and no one will gather their corpses to bury them. They will be [scattered] on the ground like manure.
Så, skola de slagne af Herranom på samma tid ligga, ifrå den ena jordenes ända till den andra ändan. De skola intet varda begråtne, eller upptagne, eller begrafne, utan måste ligga på markene, och till träck blifva.
34 You [evil] leaders, weep and moan! You who should take care of my people, [fall down and] roll in the dust/dirt. It is time for you to be slaughtered; you will fall down and be shattered like a fragile vase [shatters when it falls to the ground].
Jämrer eder nu, I herdar, och roper, och välter eder I asko, I väldige öfver hjorden; ty tiden är kommen, att I skolen slagtade och förströdde varda, och skolen sönderfalla, såsom ett kosteligit fat.
35 You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.
Och herdarna skola icke kunna fly, och de väldige öfver hjorden skola icke undkomma kunna.
36 [People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.
Så, skola herdarna ropa, och de väldige öfver hjorden skola jämra sig, att Herren så hafver ödelagt deras bet.
37 Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.
Och deras ängar, der så väl tillstod, äro förderfvada, af Herrans grymma vrede.
38 I will leave [my dwelling like] [SIM] a lion leaves its den [to attack other animals], and I will cause your land to become desolate when I, because I am very angry [with you], cause [your enemies to slaughter you with their] swords.’”
Han hafver öfvergifvit sina hyddo, lika som ett ungt lejon; och så är deras land förstördt af tyrannens vrede, och af hans grymma vrede.
