Jeremias 33
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias anden Gang, medens han endnu var indelukket i Fængselets Forgaard; det lød:
A second message came from the Lord to Jeremiah while he was still being held in the guard's courtyard of the guard.
2 Saa siger Herren, som gør det, Herren, som beslutter det, saa at han udfører det, Herren er hans Navn:
This is what the Lord says, the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who shaped it and set it in place, 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.
Call out to me, and I will answer you, explaining to you amazing, hidden things about which you don't have any idea.
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, says about Jerusalem's houses and the palaces of the kings of Judah that were demolished for materials to be used to defend against the siege ramps and the enemy attacks.
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:
They come to fight the Babylonians but will only fill those houses with the dead bodies of those I'm going to kill in my furious anger. I have given up on this city because of all its 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.
But even so, in the future I will restore and repair it, and I will heal its people and give them lasting peace and safety.
7 Og jeg vil omvende Judas Fangenskab og Israels Fangenskab, og jeg vil bygge dem som i Begyndelsen.
I will bring Judah and Israel back from exile and will make them as strong as before.
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.
I will wash away all their sins that they committed against me, and I will forgive all their guilt from when they sinned in rebelling 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.
Then this city will bring me a glorious reputation, celebrated and praised by all the nations of the earth who get to hear of all the good things I do for it. They will tremble, amazed at how much good I have done for it, how I have made it so prosperous.
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 says: You call this place “a wasteland where there's no people or animals.” Well, here in the towns of Judah and in the empty streets of Jerusalem where no people or animals live, one day
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 sounds of joy and celebration will be heard there again, the happy voices of bride and bridegroom, and the shouts of praise of those bringing thank offerings to the Lord's Temple, saying: “Thank the Lord Almighty! For the Lord is good; his trustworthy love lasts endures forever.” For I will bring the land back from its “captivity” too, 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 Almighty says: In this wasteland where there's no people or animals, and in all its towns, once again there'll be pastures where shepherds can take 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.
In all the towns, whether in the hill country, or the foothills, or the Negev, or the land of Benjamin or the towns around Jerusalem, or throughout the cities of Judah, flocks will once again be counted by their shepherds, 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.
Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will keep my promise to do good to the people of Israel and 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.
At that time, right there and then, I will give you a good king from the line of David. He will do what is just and right throughout the country.
16 I de Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo tryggelig; og dette er Navnet, man skal give den: Herren vor Retfærdighed.
This is when Judah will be saved, and the people of Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name he will be called: The Lord Who Makes Us Right.
17 Thi saa siger Herren: Der skal ikke fattes for David en Mand, som skal sidde paa Israels Hus's Trone.
This is what the Lord says: David will always have a descendant who will be king 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 Levitical priests will always have a descendant to present burnt offerings, grain offerings, and sacrifices to me.
19 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saaledes:
A message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
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:
This is what the Lord says: If you were able to break my agreement with the day and with the night, so that they wouldn't come at the right 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.
only then would my agreement be broken with David my servant and with the Levites who serve as my priests, so that David would not have a descendant to rule on his throne.
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.
In the same way that the stars of heaven can't be counted, and the sand on the seashore can't be measured, that's how many times I will multiply the number of my servant David's descendants and the Levites who serve me.
23 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saalunde:
Another message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
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 heard what people are saying: “The Lord chose two families, but now he's rejected them”? So they look down on my people and don't consider them worthy of being called a nation.
25 Saa siger Herren: Dersom jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, Himmelens og Jordens Skikke,
This is what the Lord says: Just as I can't break my agreement with the day and the night and the laws that regulate 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.
so I can't reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David, and I can't fail to make his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring them back from exile and I will be kind to them.
