Jeremias 48
1 Imod Moab. Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Ve, Nebo! thi den er ødelagt; beskæmmet, indtaget er Kirjathajm; beskæmmet er Misgab og forfærdet.
Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place is put to shame and broken down.
2 Med Moabs Pris er det forbi; i Hesbon optænke de ondt imod det: Kommer og lader os udslette det, at det ikke mere er et Folk; ogsaa du, Madmen! skal ødelægges, et Sværd skal forfølge dig.
The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.
3 Der høres et Skrig fra Horanajm: Ødelæggelse og stor Forstyrrelse.
There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;
4 Moab er forstyrret; de smaa derudi lade deres Skrig høre.
Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.
5 Thi ad Opgangen til Lukit stiger Graad op over Graad; og ved Nedgangen til Horonajm hører man Forstyrrelses Skrig.
For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.
6 Flyr, redder eders Liv! og I skulle være som den enlige i Ørken.
Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.
7 Thi fordi du forlod dig paa dine Gerninger og paa dine Skatte, skal ogsaa du indtages; og Kamos skal vandre i Landflygtighed, hans Præster og hans Fyrster til Hobe.
For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.
8 Og der skal komme en Ødelægger til hver Stad, og ingen Stad skal undslippe; og Dalen skal gaa til Grunde og Sletten ødelægges, som Herren har sagt.
And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.
9 Giver Moab Vinger, thi det skal flyve ud; og dets Stæder skulle være til en Ødelæggelse, saa at ingen skal bo i dem.
Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
10 Forbandet være den, som gør Herrens Gerning med Efterladenhed; og forbandet være den, som holder sit Sværd tilbage fra Blod.
Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 Moab har boet trygt fra sin Ungdom af og ligget stille paa sin Bærme og er ikke tømt af et Kar i det andet, og det er ikke draget bort iblandt de bortførte; derfor har det beholdt sin Smag, og dets Lugt er ikke forandret.
From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.
12 Derfor se, de Dage skulle komme, siger Herren, da jeg vil sende Folk til det, som skulle vende dets Fade om; de skulle tømme dets Kar og sønderbryde dets Flasker.
So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.
13 Og Moab skal blive til Skamme over Kamos, ligesom Israels Hus blev til Skamme over Bethel, som de forlode sig paa.
And Moab will be shamed on account of Chemosh, as the children of Israel were shamed on account of Beth-el their hope.
14 Hvorledes kunne I sige: Vi ere Helte og duelige Krigsmænd?
How say you, We are men of war and strong fighters?
15 Moab er ødelagt, og man er steget op i dets Stæder, og dets udvalgte unge Mandskab er steget ned for at slagtes, siger Kongen, hvis Navn er Herre Zebaoth.
He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
16 Moabs Undergang er nær for Haanden, og dets Ulykke skynder sig saare.
The fate of Moab is near, and trouble is coming on him very quickly.
17 Haver Medynk med det, alle I, som bo trindt omkring det! og alle I, som kende dets Navn, siger: Hvorledes er Magtens Stav, Herlighedens Spir sønderbrudt?
All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch!
18 Stig ned fra Herlighed, og sid i det tørstige Land, du Indbyggerske, Dibons Datter! thi Moabs Ødelægger er stegen op imod dig, han har ødelagt dine Befæstninger.
Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places.
19 Stil dig ved Vejen og se dig om, du Aroers Indbyggerske! spørg ham, som er flygtet, og hende, som er undkommet; sig, hvad er der sket?
O daughter of Aroer, take your station by the way, on the watch: questioning him who is in flight, and her who has got away safe, say, What has been done?
20 Moab er beskæmmet; thi det er knust, hyler og skriger; kundgører det ved Arnon, at Moab er ødelagt;
Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste.
21 og en Dom er kommet til Slettens Land, til Holon og til Jaza og over Mefaat
And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22 og over Dibon og over Nebo og over Beth-Diblathajm
And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
23 og over Kirjathajm og over Bethgamul og over Bethmeon
And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,
24 og over Kirjot og over Bozra og over alle Stæder i Moabs Land, de fjerne og de nære.
And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.
25 Moabs Horn er afhugget, og dets Arm er sønderbrudt, siger Herren,
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the Lord.
26 Gører det drukkent! thi det ophøjede sig storlig imod Herren, saa at Moab maa plaske i sit Spy, og at ogsaa det maa blive til Latter.
Make him full of wine, for his heart has been lifted up against the Lord: and Moab will be rolling in the food he was not able to keep down, and everyone will be making sport of him.
27 Thi mon Israel ikke var dig til Latter? mon det var grebet iblandt Tyve, at du, saa tit du talte om det, skulde ryste med Hovedet?
For did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.
28 Forlader Stæderne og bor i Klippen, I Indbyggere i Moab! og værer som en Due, der bygger Rede ved Siden af Aabningen ned til en Kløft!
O people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.
29 Vi have hørt om Moabs Hovmod, det er saare hovmodigt, om dets Hoffærdighed og dets Hovmod og dets Stolthed og dets Hjertes Højhed.
We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride; and his great opinion of himself, and that his heart is lifted up.
30 Jeg kender, siger Herren, dets Overmod, men det er tomt; dets Pral er i Gerning tom.
I have knowledge of his wrath, says the Lord, that it is nothing; his high-sounding words have done nothing.
31 Derfor maa jeg hyle over Moab og skrige over hele Moab; man maa sukke over Kir-Heres's Folk,
For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.
32 Jeg maa græde over dig, du Vintræ i Sibma! mere end jeg græder over Jaeser, dine Kviste gik hen over Havet, de naaede til Jaesers Hav; en Ødelægger er falden ind over din Frugthøst og over din Vinhøst.
My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.
33 Og Glæde og Fryd har forladt Frugthaven og Moabs Land; og jeg vil lade Vinen høre op i Persekarrene, ingen skal træde Persen med Frydesang, Frydesangen skal ikke mere være Frydesang.
All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.
34 Af Skriget i Hesbon lade de Lyden høres, indtil Eleale, indtil Jahaz, fra Zoar indtil Horonajm, Eglath Selisia; thi ogsaa Nimjims Vande skulle blive til Ørk.
The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.
35 Og jeg vil gøre, siger Herren, at Moab ikke mere skal have nogen, som drager op paa Højen og gør Røgoffer for sine Guder.
And I will put an end in Moab, says the Lord, to him who is making offerings in the high place and burning perfumes to his gods.
36 Derfor bruser mit Hjerte som Fløjter over Moab, og mit Hjerte bruser over Mændene i Kir-Heres som Fløjter, derfor gaar Levningen, som det havde forhvervet, til Grunde.
So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.
37 Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, og hvert Skæg er afskaaret; der er Indsnit paa alle Hænder og Sæk om Lænderne.
For everywhere the hair of the head and the hair of the face is cut off: on every hand there are wounds, and haircloth on every body.
38 Paa alle Tage i Moab og paa dets Gader er der kun Klage; thi jeg har sønderbrudt Moab som et Kar, man ikke har Lyst til, siger Herren.
On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.
39 Hvorledes er det dog knust I Hyler! hvorledes vender Moab dog Nakken til! det er beskæmmet; og Moab skal blive til Latter og til Forfærdelse for alle trindt omkring det.
How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.
40 Thi saa siger Hejren: Se, han kommer flyvende som Ørnen og udbreder sine Vinger imod Moab.
For the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Moab.
41 Stæderne erobres, og Fæstningerne indtages; og de vældiges Hjerte i Moab skal være paa denne Dag som en beængstet Kvindes Hjerte.
Kerioth is taken, and the strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
42 Og Moab skal ødelægges, saa at det ikke mere er et Folk, thi det har ophøjet sig storlig imod Herren.
And Moab will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.
43 Forfærdelse og Grav og Snare over dig, du, som bor i Moab! siger Herren,
Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.
44 Den, som flyr for Forfærdelsen, skal falde i Graven, og den, som kommer op af Graven, skal fanges i Snaren; thi jeg Vil lade komme til det, til Moab, dets Hjemsøgelses Aar, siger Herren,
He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.
45 I Hesbons Skygge stille sig de, der fly som kraftesløse; thi en Ild udgaar fra Hesbon og en Lue fra Sihon, og den skal fortære Moabs Hjørne og Issen af Bulderets Srør, ner.
Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.
46 Ve dig, Moab! Kamos's Folk er fortabt; thi dine Sønner ere tagne og førte i Fangenskab og dine Døtre i Fangenskab.
Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.
47 Men jeg vil omvende Moabs Fangenskab i de sidste Dage, siger Herren. — Hertil gaar Dommen over Moab.
But still, I will let the fate of Moab be changed in the last days, says the Lord.
