Jeremias 33
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias anden Gang, medens han endnu var indelukket i Fængselets Forgaard; det lød:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
2 Saa siger Herren, som gør det, Herren, som beslutter det, saa at han udfører det, Herren er hans Navn:
“Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; 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.
Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
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 thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
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:
of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
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.
Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
7 Og jeg vil omvende Judas Fangenskab og Israels Fangenskab, og jeg vil bygge dem som i Begyndelsen.
And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
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 cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised 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 will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
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
Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
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.
the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, 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.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
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.
For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers 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.
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house 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 cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
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 be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
17 Thi saa siger Herren: Der skal ikke fattes for David en Mand, som skal sidde paa Israels Hus's Trone.
For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house 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 there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
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:
“Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
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, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
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.
Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
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 not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
25 Saa siger Herren: Dersom jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, Himmelens og Jordens Skikke,
Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
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 truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
