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.
Against Moab, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe upon Nebo! For it has been devastated and confounded. Kiriathaim has been seized; the strong one has been confounded and has trembled.
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.
There is no longer any rejoicing in Moab over Heshbon. They have devised evil. ‘Come and let us destroy it as a nation.’ Then you will be utterly silenced, and the sword will pursue you.
3 Der høres et Skrig fra Horanajm: Ødelæggelse og stor Forstyrrelse.
A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!
4 Moab er forstyrret; de smaa derudi lade deres Skrig høre.
Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.
5 Thi ad Opgangen til Lukit stiger Graad op over Graad; og ved Nedgangen til Horonajm hører man Forstyrrelses Skrig.
For, along the ascent of Luhith, the mourner will ascend with weeping. For, on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard the wailing of devastation.
6 Flyr, redder eders Liv! og I skulle være som den enlige i Ørken.
Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.
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 had faith in your fortifications and in your storehouses, you too will be seized. And Chemosh will go into captivity: his priests and his leaders 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 despoiler will overwhelm every city, and not a single city will be saved. And the valleys will perish, and the fields will be destroyed. For the Lord has spoken.
9 Giver Moab Vinger, thi det skal flyve ud; og dets Stæder skulle være til en Ødelæggelse, saa at ingen skal bo i dem.
Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.
10 Forbandet være den, som gør Herrens Gerning med Efterladenhed; og forbandet være den, som holder sit Sværd tilbage fra Blod.
Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits 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.
Moab has been fertile from his youth, and he has rested amid his brood. And he has not been transferred from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into the transmigration. Therefore, his taste has remained with him, and his scent has not changed.
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.
Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will send to him those who will line up and knock down his bottles, and they will knock him down and empty his vessels, and they will break their bottles against one another.
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 confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.
14 Hvorledes kunne I sige: Vi ere Helte og duelige Krigsmænd?
How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’
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.
Moab has been devastated, and they have cut down her cities. And her elect young men have descended to slaughter. So says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 Moabs Undergang er nær for Haanden, og dets Ulykke skynder sig saare.
The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.
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?
Console him, all you who surround him and all you who know his name. Say: ‘How has the strong staff become broken, the glorious staff?’
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.
Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.
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?
Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab er beskæmmet; thi det er knust, hyler og skriger; kundgører det ved Arnon, at Moab er ødelagt;
Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,
21 og en Dom er kommet til Slettens Land, til Holon og til Jaza og over Mefaat
and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
22 og over Dibon og over Nebo og over Beth-Diblathajm
and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
23 og over Kirjathajm og over Bethgamul og over Bethmeon
and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,
24 og over Kirjot og over Bozra og over alle Stæder i Moabs Land, de fjerne og de nære.
and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.
25 Moabs Horn er afhugget, og dets Arm er sønderbrudt, siger Herren,
The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, 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.
Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.
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 Israel had been a derision to them. It was as if you had discovered him among thieves. Because of your own words, then, which you have spoken against him, you will be led away captive.
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!
Relinquish the cities, and live upon a rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove nesting at the mouth of an opening at the summit.
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 listened to the arrogance of Moab; he is very proud: his exaltation, and arrogance, and pride, and the loftiness of his heart.
30 Jeg kender, siger Herren, dets Overmod, men det er tomt; dets Pral er i Gerning tom.
I myself know, says the Lord, his boasting, and that his ability is not in accord with it, nor is it in accord with what he has been striving to do.
31 Derfor maa jeg hyle over Moab og skrige over hele Moab; man maa sukke over Kir-Heres's Folk,
For this reason, I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out to all of Moab, to the men on the brick wall who are lamenting.
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.
O vineyard of Sibmah, I will weep for you, with the mourning of Jazer. Your offshoots have crossed over the sea. They have reached even to the sea of Jazer. The despoiler has rushed over your harvest and your vintage.
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.
Rejoicing and exultation has been taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab. And I have taken the wine from the winepresses. The treader of grapes will no longer sing the usual rhythmic chant.
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.
From the outcry of Heshbon, even to Elealeh and Jahzah, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar, even to Horonaim, like a three year old calf. So too, the waters of Nimrim will be very bad.
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 take away from Moab, says the Lord, the one who makes offerings in exalted places, and the one who sacrifices 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.
Because of this, my heart will resound for Moab, like the pipes, and my heart will make a sound like the pipes for the men on the brick wall. For he has done more than he was able, yet still they have perished.
37 Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, og hvert Skæg er afskaaret; der er Indsnit paa alle Hænder og Sæk om Lænderne.
For every head will be bald, and every beard will be shaved. All the hands will be bound together, and there will be haircloth on every back.
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.
Over all the rooftops of Moab, and in its streets, everyone will mourn. For I have crushed Moab like a useless vessel, 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 was it conquered, so that they would wail? How is it that Moab has cast down his neck and been confounded? And Moab will be a derision and an example to everyone around him.”
40 Thi saa siger Hejren: Se, han kommer flyvende som Ørnen og udbreder sine Vinger imod Moab.
Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.
41 Stæderne erobres, og Fæstningerne indtages; og de vældiges Hjerte i Moab skal være paa denne Dag som en beængstet Kvindes Hjerte.
Kerioth has been captured, and the fortifications have been taken. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Moab will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.
42 Og Moab skal ødelægges, saa at det ikke mere er et Folk, thi det har ophøjet sig storlig imod Herren.
And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.
43 Forfærdelse og Grav og Snare over dig, du, som bor i Moab! siger Herren,
Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant 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,
Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit. And whoever climbs out of the pit will be seized by the snare. For I will lead over Moab the year of their visitation, 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 fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it will devour the portion of Moab, and the top of the head of the sons of tumult.
46 Ve dig, Moab! Kamos's Folk er fortabt; thi dine Sønner ere tagne og førte i Fangenskab og dine Døtre i Fangenskab.
Woe to you, O Moab! You have been ruined, O people of Chemosh! For your sons and your daughters have been taken into captivity.
47 Men jeg vil omvende Moabs Fangenskab i de sidste Dage, siger Herren. — Hertil gaar Dommen over Moab.
But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.
