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 which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 — og dengang belejrede Kongen af Babels Hær Jerusalem; men Profeten Jeremias var indelukket i Forgaarden til Fængselet, som var i Judas Konges Hus;
And at that time the army of the king of Babylon was laying siege to Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
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, the king of Judah, had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, “Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am about to 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, the king of Judah, shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldaeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he 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 Jehovah; though ye fight with the Chaldaeans, ye shall not prosper?”
6 Og Jeremias sagde: Herrens Ord er kommet til mig saalunde:
Then said Jeremiah, The word of Jehovah came to me, and said:
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, will come to thee, and say, Buy thee my field which is in Anathoth, for thine is the redemption-right 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.
And so Hanameel, the son of my uncle, came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of Jehovah, and said to me: Buy, I pray thee, my field, which is in Anathoth, for thine is the right of inheritance and redemption; buy it for thyself! Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
9 Og jeg købte af Hanameel, min Farbroders Søn, Ageren, som var i Anathoth, og vejede ham Pengene til, sytten Sekel Sølv.
I bought, therefore, the field of Hanameel, my uncle's son, in Anathoth, and I paid him the money, 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 wrote a deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses thereto, and weighed the silver 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.
And I took the purchase-deed, that which was sealed according to the law and the statutes, 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 purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the presence of Hanameel, my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses, who subscribed their names to the purchase-deed, and in the presence of all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.
13 Og jeg befalede Baruk for deres Øjne og sagde:
And I charged Baruch in their presence, 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 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this sealed purchase-deed, and this open deed, and put them into an earthen vessel, that they may endure a great length of time.
15 Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Endnu skal der købes Huse og Agre og Vingaarde i dette Land.
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again shall houses and fields and vineyards be bought in this land.
16 Og jeg bad til Herren, efter at jeg havde overgivet Baruk, Nerias Søn, Købebrevet og sagde:
And when I had delivered the purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, 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, Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and thy 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 showest kindness to a thousand generations, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of the children who come after them. The great, the mighty God, Jehovah 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;
who hast displayed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to 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 have come in and possessed it; but they have not obeyed thy voice, nor walked according to thy law. They have done nothing of all which thou commandedst them to do. Therefore hast thou 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 mounds of the enemy have already come up against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans, who fight against it by means 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 yet hast thou said to me, O Lord Jehovah, “Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses thereto!” when the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.
26 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saa lydende:
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying:
27 Se, jeg er Herren, alt Køds Gud; mon nogen Ting skulde være underlig for mig?
Behold, I, Jehovah, am the God of all flesh. Is there anything 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 Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldaeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the 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 Chaldaeans who fight against this city shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out incense to 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 done nothing but evil before me from their youth; yea, the children of Israel have but provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.
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 the object of my anger and my fury, from the day when they built it even to this day; that I might 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 wickedness of the children of Israel, and of the children of Judah, which they have committed 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.
For they have turned to me the back, and not the face; though I have taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet have they not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 Men de satte deres Vederstyggeligheder i det Hus, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, for at besmitte det.
And they have 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 have 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 to Moloch, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should practise their 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:
Yet now thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel concerning this city, of which ye say, “It is 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 the countries whither I have driven them in my anger and my fury and my great wrath, and I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell securely,
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, to fear me continually, that it may be well with them, and with 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, nor cease to do them good; for 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 in truth, 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 Jehovah: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so will I bring upon them all the good which 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 yet be bought in this land, of which ye say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.”
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.
Fields shall men buy for money, and subscribe deeds, 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 hill-country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south; for I will bring them back from their captivity, saith Jehovah.
