Jeremias 33
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias anden Gang, medens han endnu var indelukket i Fængselets Forgaard; det lød:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
2 Saa siger Herren, som gør det, Herren, som beslutter det, saa at han udfører det, Herren er hans Navn:
These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;
3 Raab til mig, og jeg vil svare dig, og jeg vil tilkendegive dig store og velforvarede Ting, som du ikke ved.
Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.
4 Thi saa siger Herren, Israels Gud, om denne Stads Huse og om Judas Kongers Huse, som ere slaaede ned formedelst Belejringsvoldene og formedelst Sværdet,
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said about the houses of this town and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been broken down to make earthworks and ...;
5 og om dem, som kom ind for at stride imod Kaldæerne og for at fylde op med døde Kroppe af Mennesker, hvilke jeg slog i min Vrede og i min Harme, og idet jeg skjulte mit Ansigt for denne Stad for al deres Ondskabs Skyld:
... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.
6 Se, jeg vil lade dens Helbredelse og Lægedom tage til og læge dem, og jeg vil oplade dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.
7 Og jeg vil omvende Judas Fangenskab og Israels Fangenskab, og jeg vil bygge dem som i Begyndelsen.
And I will let the fate of Judah and of Israel be changed, building them up as at first.
8 Og jeg vil rense dem fra al deres Misgerning, med hvilken de syndede imod mig, og forlade dem alle deres Misgerninger, med hvilke de have syndet imod mig, og med hvilke de have forbrudt sig imod mig.
And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.
9 Og det skal være mig til et glædeligt Navn, til Lov og til Ære for alle Jordens Folkeslag, som høre alt det gode, jeg gør dem; og de skulle forfærdes og skælve over alt det gode og over al den Fred, som jeg vil give dem.
And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.
10 Saa siger Herren: Endnu skal der paa dette Sted, om hvilket I sige: Det er øde, uden Folk og uden Fæ, i Judas Stæder og paa Jerusalems Gader, som ere ødelagte, uden Folk og uden Indbyggere og uden Fæ, høres
This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,
11 Fryds Røst og Glædes Røst, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, deres Røst, som sige: Takker den Herre Zebaoth, thi Herren er god, thi hans Miskundhed er evindelig, og deres, som bringe Takoffer til Herrens Hus; thi jeg vil omvende Landets Fangenskab som i Begyndelsen, sagde Herren.
Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.
12 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Endnu skal der være paa dette Sted, som er øde uden Folk og uden Fæ, og i alle dets Stæder Bolig for Hyrder, som lade Hjorden hvile.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.
13 I Stæderne paa Bjerget, i Stæderne i Lavlandet og i Stæderne imod Sønden og i Benjamins Land og trindt omkring Jerusalem og i Judas Stæder skulle Hjordene endnu gaa forbi Tællerens Hænder, siger Herren.
In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.
14 Se, de Dage komme, siger Herren, da jeg vil stadfæste det gode Ord, hvilket jeg har talt til Israels Hus og om Judas Hus.
See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will give effect to the good word which I have said about the people of Israel and the people of Judah.
15 I de Dage og paa den Tid vil jeg lade for David en Retfærdigheds Vækst opvokse; og han skal øve Ret og Retfærdighed paa Jorden.
In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.
16 I de Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo tryggelig; og dette er Navnet, man skal give den: Herren vor Retfærdighed.
In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
17 Thi saa siger Herren: Der skal ikke fattes for David en Mand, som skal sidde paa Israels Hus's Trone.
For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel;
18 Og der skal ikke fattes for Præsterne, Leviterne, en Mand til at staa for mit Ansigt, som skal ofre Brændoffer og antænde Madoffer og lave Slagtoffer alle Dagene.
And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.
19 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 Saa siger Herren: Dersom I kunne bryde min Pagt med Dagen og min Pagt med Natten, saa at der ikke bliver Dag og Nat, naar Tiden er:
The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,
21 Da skal ogsaa min Pagt med David, min Tjener, brydes, at han ikke skal have en Søn til at være Konge paa hans Trone, og med Leviterne, Præsterne, mine Tjenere.
Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.
22 Thi ligesom Himmelens Hær ikke kan tælles og Havets Sand ikke maales, saaledes vil jeg formere Davids, min Tjeners, Sæd og Leviterne, som tjene mig.
As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.
23 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saalunde:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Har du ikke set, hvad dette Folk har talt, idet det siger: De to Slægter, som Herren havde udvalgt, dem har han forkastet? og de foragte mit Folk, saa at det ikke mere er et Folk for deres Ansigt.
Have you taken note of what these people have said, The two families, which the Lord took for himself, he has given up? This they say, looking down on my people as being, in their eyes, no longer a nation.
25 Saa siger Herren: Dersom jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, Himmelens og Jordens Skikke,
The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,
26 da vil jeg ogsaa forkaste Jakobs og Davids, min Tjeners, Sæd, saa at jeg ikke af hans Sæd tager dem, som skulle herske over Abrahams, Isaks og Jakobs Sæd; thi jeg vil omvende deres Fangenskab og forbarme mig over dem.
Then I will give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.
