Jeremias 1
1 Ord af Jeremias, Hilkias Søn, en af Præsterne, som vare i Anathoth, i Benjamins Land,
Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
2 til hvem Herrens Ord kom i Josias's, Amons Søns, Judas Konges Dage, i hans Regerings trettende Aar;
to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 og det kom fremdeles i Jojakims, Josias's Søns, Judas Konges Dage indtil Enden af Zedekias's, Josias's Søns, Judas Konges ellevte Aar, indtil Jerusalem blev ført i Fangenskab i den femte Maaned.
and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
5 Før jeg dannede dig i Moders Liv, kendte jeg dig, og før du udkom af Moders Skød, helligede jeg dig; jeg beskikkede dig til en Profet for Folkene.
“Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Men jeg sagde: Ak Herre, Herre! se, jeg forstaar ikke at tale, thi jeg er ung.
And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
7 Men Herren sagde til mig: Sig ikke: Jeg er ung; thi du skal gaa over alt, hvor jeg sender dig, og alt det, som jeg befaler dig, skal du tale.
And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
8 Frygt ikke for deres Ansigt; thi jeg er med dig for at redde dig, siger Herren.
Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
9 Og Herren udrakte sin Haand og lod den røre ved min Mund, og Herren sagde til mig: Se, jeg har lagt mine Ord i din Mund.
And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 Se, jeg har beskikket dig paa denne Dag over Folkene, og over Rigerne til at oprykke og til at omstyrte og til at fordærve og til at nedkaste, til at bygge og til at plante.
See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”
11 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig, og han sagde: Jeremias, hvad ser du? Og jeg sagde: Jeg ser en Mandelstav.
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
12 Og Herren sagde til mig: Du saa rigtigt; thi jeg vil være aarvaagen over mit Ord for at fuldkomme, det.
And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
13 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig anden Gang, og han sagde: Hyad ser du? Og jeg sagde: Jeg ser en sydende Gryde, og den vender sig hid fra Egnen imod Nord.
And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
14 Og Herren sagde til mig: Fra Norden skal Ulykken udlades over alle Landets Indbyggere.
And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
15 Thi se, jeg kalder ad alle Rigernes Stammer imod Norden, siger Herren; og de skulle komme og sætte hver sin Stol for Indgangen til Jerusalems Porte og imod alle dens Mure trindt omkring, imod alle Judas Stæder.
For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all cities of Judah.
16 Og jeg vil holde Ret over dem for al deres Ondskabs Skyld; thi de forlode mig og gjorde Røgelse for andre Guder og tilbade for deres Hænders Gerninger.
And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
17 Og du, du skal binde op om dine Lænder og gøre dig rede og tale til dem alt det, jeg vil befale dig; vær ikke bange for dem, at jeg ikke skal gøre dig bange for dem.
And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
18 Og jeg, se, jeg har gjort dig i Dag til en fast Stad og til en Jernpille og til Kobbermure for hele Landet, imod Judas Konger, imod dets Fyrster, imod dets Præster og imod Folket i Landet.
And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
19 Og de skulle stride imod dig og ikke faa Overhaand over dig; thi jeg er med dig, siger Herren, for at redde dig.
and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
