Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Optegnet er Judas Synd med Griffel af Jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og paa deres Altres Horn,
2 While their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
naar Sønnerne kommer deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, paa alle grønne Træer, paa de høje Steder,
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
paa Bjergene paa Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, saa langt dine Grænser naar.
4 And thou, even thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in my anger, which shall burn for ever.
Din Haand maa slippe din Arvelod, den, jeg gav dig. Jeg lader dig trælle for Fjender i et ukendt Land, thi Ild luer op i min Vrede, den brænder evigt.
5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Saa siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler paa Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og faar ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler paa HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Han bliver som et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, naar Heden kommer, hvis Løv er frodiggrønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens Aar eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Som en Agerhøne paa Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han maa slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slaar ved sin Død som en Daare.
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
HERRE, du Israels Haab, enhver, der forlader dig, faar Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Læg mig, HERRE, saa jeg læges, frels du mig, saa jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
Se, de andre siger til mig: »Hvor er HERRENS Ord? Lad det komme!«
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which was uttered by my lips was right before thee.
Jeg vægred mig ej ved at være Hyrde i dit Spor, begæred ej heller Ulykkens Dag, du ved det; hvad der udgik fra mine Læber, er for dit Aasyn.
17 Be not a terror to me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt paa Ulykkens Dag.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Lad Forfølgerne beskæmmes, lad ej mig beskæmmes, lad dem forfærdes, lad ej mig forfærdes; send over dem Ulykkens Dag, knus dem og gentag Slaget!
19 Thus said the LORD to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gaa hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger gaar ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalems Porte
20 And say to them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter by these gates:
og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som gaar ind ad disse Porte!
21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Saa siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen!
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse paa Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbatsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work in it;
Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, saa I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde paa den,
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
saa skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder paa Davids Trone, drage ind ad denne Bys Porte med Vogne og Heste, de og deres Fyrster, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere, og denne By skal staa til evig Tid.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, to the house of the LORD.
Og fra Judas Byer, fra Jerusalems Omegn, fra Benjamins Land, fra Lavlandet, Bjergene og Sydlandet skal man komme og bringe Brændoffer, Slagtoffer, Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse og Takoffer til HERRENS Hus.
27 But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, saa sætter jeg Ild paa dets Porte, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
