Jeremias 32
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren i Judas Konge Zedekias's tiende Aar; det Aar er Nebukadnezars attende Aar;
THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
2 — og dengang belejrede Kongen af Babels Hær Jerusalem; men Profeten Jeremias var indelukket i Forgaarden til Fængselet, som var i Judas Konges Hus;
For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
3 hvor Zedekias, Judas Konge, havde indelukket ham og sagt: Hvorfor spaar du og siger: Saa sagde Herren: Se, jeg giver denne Stad i Kongen af Babels Haand, at han skal indtage den,
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 og Zedekias, Judas Konge, skal ikke undkomme fra Kaldæernes Haand; men han skal visselig gives i Kongen af Babels Haand, og hans Mund skal tale med hans Mund, og hans Øjne skulle se hans Øjne;
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
5 og han skal føre Zedekias til Babel, og han skal blive der, indtil jeg ser til ham, siger Herren; thi om I end stride imod Kaldæerne, skulle I ikke have Lykke. —
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
6 Og Jeremias sagde: Herrens Ord er kommet til mig saalunde:
And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
7 Se, Hanameel, din Farbroder, Sallums Søn, kommer til dig og siger: Køb dig min Ager, som er i Anathoth; thi du har Løsningsretten, at du kan købe den.
Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
8 Og Hanameel, min Farbroders Søn, kom til mig efter Herrens Ord til Fængselets Forgaard og sagde til mig: Kære, køb min Ager, som er i Anathoth, i Benjamins Land; thi du har Arveretten, og du har Løsningsretten, køb dig den; da fornam jeg, at det var Herrens Ord.
So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
9 Og jeg købte af Hanameel, min Farbroders Søn, Ageren, som var i Anathoth, og vejede ham Pengene til, sytten Sekel Sølv.
And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Og jeg skrev det i Brevet og forseglede det og tog Vidner dertil og vejede Pengene i Vægtskaalerne:
And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 Og jeg tog Købebrevet, det som var forseglet og indeholdt, hvad der var bestemt og fastsat, og det, som var aabent.
So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
12 Og jeg gav Baruk, en Søn af Neria, som var en Søn af Mahasia, Købebrevet for Hanameels, min Farbroders Søns, Øjne og for de Vidners Øjne, som havde underskrevet Købebrevet, for alle de Jøders Øjne, som sade i Fængselets Forgaard.
And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
13 Og jeg befalede Baruk for deres Øjne og sagde:
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Tag disse Breve, dette Købebrev, baade dette forseglede og dette aabne Brev, og læg dem i et Lerkar, at de maa holde sig mange Dage.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
15 Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Endnu skal der købes Huse og Agre og Vingaarde i dette Land.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
16 Og jeg bad til Herren, efter at jeg havde overgivet Baruk, Nerias Søn, Købebrevet og sagde:
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying,
17 Ak, Herre, Herre! se, du har skabt Himmelen og Jorden ved din store Kraft og ved din udrakte Arm; der er ingen Ting underlig for dig,
Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
18 du, som gør Miskundhed imod tusinde og som betaler Fædrenes Misgerning i deres Børns Barm efter dem, du store, du vældige Gud, hvis Navn er Herren Zebaoth,
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,
19 stor i Raad og mægtig i Gerning; thi dine Øjne ere opladte over alle Menneskens Børns Veje til at give hver efter hans Veje og efter hans Idrætters Frugt!
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Du, som har gjort Tegn og underlige Ting i Ægyptens Land, indtil denne Dag, baade iblandt Israel og iblandt andre Mennesker, og har indlagt dig et Navn, som det er paa denne Dag;
Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
21 og du udførte dit Folk Israel af Ægyptens Land, ved Tegn og ved underlige Ting og ved en stærk Haand og ved en udrakt Arm og ved stor Forfærdelse;
And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
22 og du gav dem dette Land, som du tilsvor deres Fædre at ville give dem, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning;
And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 og de kom og toge det i Eje, men de hørte ikke din Røst og vandrede ikke efter din Lov; alt det, som du bød dem at gøre, gjorde de ikke; og du lod al denne Ulykke møde dem.
And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
24 Se, Belejringsvoldene ere komne ind imod Staden til dens Indtagelse, og Staden er given i Kaldæernes Haand, som stride imod den, ved Sværdet og Hungeren og Pesten; og det, som du har talt, er sket, og se, du ser det.
Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
25 Og du, Herre, Herre, har dog sagt til mig: Køb dig Ageren for Penge og tag Vidner derpaa, skønt Staden er given i Kaldæernes Haand.
And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saa lydende:
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Se, jeg er Herren, alt Køds Gud; mon nogen Ting skulde være underlig for mig?
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28 Derfor, saa siger Herren: Se, jeg giver denne Stad i Kaldæernes Haand og i Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babels Haand, at han skal indtage den.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29 Og Kaldæerne, som stride imod denne Stad, skulle komme og stikke Ild paa denne Stad og opbrænde den og Husene, paa hvis Tage de gjorde Røgelse for Baal og udøste Drikoffer for andre Guder for at opirre mig.
And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 Thi Israels Børn og Judas Børn have kun gjort ondt for mine Øjne fra deres Ungdom af; og Israels Børn have kun opirret mig med deres Hænders Gerning, siger Herren.
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
31 Thi til Vrede for mig og til Harme for mig har denne Stad været fra den Dag, da de byggede den, og indtil denne Dag, saa at jeg maa skaffe den bort fra mit Ansigt
For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 formedelst al Israels Børns og Judas Børns Ondskab, som de øvede for at opirre mig, de, deres Konger, deres Fyrster, deres Præster og deres Profeter, baade Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Indbyggere.
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 Og de vendte Ryggen til mig, og ikke Ansigtet; skønt jeg lærte dem tidligt og ideligt, hørte de dog ikke, saa at de annammede Undervisning.
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 Men de satte deres Vederstyggeligheder i det Hus, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, for at besmitte det.
But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 Og de byggede Baalshøjene, som ere i Ben-Hinnoms Dal, for at ofre deres Sønner og deres Døtre til Molek, hvilket jeg ikke havde befalet dem, og hvilket ikke var kommet mig i Sinde, og for at gøre denne Vederstyggelighed, paa det de maatte faa Juda til at synde.
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 Og nu siger Herren, Israels Gud, derfor saaledes om denne Stad, om hvilken I sige, at den gives i Kongen af Babels Haand, ved Sværdet og ved Hungeren og ved Pesten:
And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
37 Se, jeg samler dem fra alle Landene, hvorhen jeg fordrev dem i min Vrede og i min Harme og i stor Fortørnelse; og jeg vil føre dem tilbage til dette Sted og lade dem bo tryggelig.
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 Og de skulle være mig et Folk, og jeg vil være dem en Gud.
And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 Og jeg vil give dem eet Hjerte og een Vej, at de skulle frygte mig alle Dage, for at det maa gaa dem vel og deres Børn efter dem.
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
40 Og jeg vil slutte en evig Pagt med dem, at jeg ikke vil drage mig tilbage fra dem, med at gøre dem godt; og jeg vil lægge min Frygt i deres Hjerter, at de ikke skulle vige fra mig.
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Og jeg vil glæde mig over dem ved at gøre dem godt; og jeg vil plante dem i dette Land i Sandhed, af mit ganske Hjerte og af min ganske Sjæl.
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 Thi saa siger Herren: Ligesom jeg lod al den store Ulykke komme over dette Folk, saaledes vil jeg lade alt det gode komme over dem, som jeg taler over dem.
For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
43 Og der skal købes Agre i dette Land, om hvilket I sige: Det er øde, uden Folk og Kvæg, det er givet i Kaldæernes Haand.
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 De skulle købe Agre for Penge og skrive Breve og forsegle dem og tage Vidner derpaa, i Benjamins Land og trindt omkring Jerusalem, og i Judas Stæder og i Stæderne paa Bjerget og i Stæderne i Lavlandet og i Stæderne imod Sønden; thi jeg vil omvende deres Fangenskab, siger Herren.
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.
