Jeremias 15
1 Da sagde HERREN til mig: Om saa Moses og Samuel stod for mit Aasyn, vilde mit Hjerte ikke vende sig til dem. Jag dette Folk bort fra mit Aasyn!
And Jehovah said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, my soul [would] not [turn] toward this people. Send [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Og naar de spørger dig: »Hvor skal vi gaa hen?« saa svar dem: Saa siger HERREN: Hvo Dødens er, til Død, hvo Sværdets er, til Sværd, hvo Hungerens er, til Hunger, hvo Fangenskabets er, til Fangenskab!
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 Jeg sætter fire Magter over dem, lyder det fra HERREN: Sværdet til at slaa ihjel, Hundene til at slæbe bort, Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr til at æde og ødelægge.
For I will visit them with four kinds [of punishments], saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and dogs to tear, and the fowl of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 Jeg gør dem til Rædsel for alle Jordens Riger for Ezekias's Søns, Kong Manasse af Judas, Skyld, for alt, hvad han gjorde i Jerusalem.
And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 Hvo føler, Jerusalem, for dig, hvo ynker dig vel, hvo bøjer af fra Vejen og spørger til dig?
For who shall have pity upon thee, Jerusalem? and who shall bemoan thee? and who shall turn aside to ask after thy welfare?
6 Du vragede mig, saa lyder det fra HERREN, du veg bort. Jeg udrækker Haanden, udsletter dig, træt af at ynkes.
Thou hast cast me off, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward; and I have stretched out my hand against thee, and will destroy thee: I am become weary of repenting.
7 Med Kasteskovl kaster jeg dem i Landets Porte, mit Folk gør jeg barnløst og til intet; de vendte ej om.
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave of children [and] destroy my people: they have not returned from their ways.
8 Flere end Havets Sandskorn bliver deres Enker. Jeg sender over Ynglingens Moder ved Middag en Hærger, brat lader jeg Angst og Rædsel falde paa hende.
Their widows are increased to me more than the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a spoiler at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly.
9 Syvsønnemoder vansmægter, opgiver Aanden, hendes Sol gaar alt ned ved Dag, hun beskæmmes og blues. De overblevne giver jeg til Sværdet for Fjendernes Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN.
She that hath borne seven languisheth, she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it is yet day; she is put to shame and confounded. And the residue of them will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah.
10 Ve mig, min Moder, at du fødte mig, en Tvistens og kivens Mand for Alverden! Jeg gav eller modtog ej Laan, og de bander mig alle.
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole land! I have not lent on usury, nor have they lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.
11 HERREN sagde: Sandelig, jeg løser dig, at det maa gaa dig vel. Sandelig, jeg lader Fjenden bønfalde dig i Ulykkens og Trængselens Tid.
Jehovah said, Verily I will set thee free for [thy] good; verily I will cause the enemy to meet thee kindly in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Sønderbryder man Jern, Jern fra Norden, og Kobber?
Will iron break? iron from the north? and bronze?
13 Din Rigdom og dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov, ikke for Betaling, men til Straf for alle dine Synder i alle dine Landemærker;
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, and in all thy borders;
14 jeg lader dig trælle for dine Fjender i et Land, du ikke kender, thi Ild luer op i min Vrede; den brænder mod eder.
and I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger; it shall burn upon you.
15 Du kender det, HERRE, kom mig i Hu, tag dig af mig; hævn mig paa dem, som forfølger mig, vær ikke langmodig, saa jeg rives bort! Vid, at for din Skyld bærer jeg Haan
Jehovah, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; in thy long-suffering take me not away: know that for thy sake I bear reproach.
16 fra dem, der lader haant om dit Ord; ryd dem ud! Men mig blev dit Ord til Fryd og til Hjertens Glæde; thi dit Navn er nævnet over mig, HERRE, Hærskarers Gud.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy words were unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
17 Ikke sad jeg og jubled i glades Lag; grebet af din Haand sad jeg ene, thi du fyldte mig med Harme.
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor exulted: I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18 Hvorfor er min Smerte evig, ulægeligt mit Saar? Det vil ikke læges. Du blev mig som en skuffende Bæk, som Vand, der sviger.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? It refuseth to be healed. Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a treacherous [spring], [as] waters that fail?
19 Derfor saa siger HERREN: Omvender du dig, vil jeg omvende dig, saa du staar for mit Aasyn; giver du det ædle, ej det uædle, Vækst, skal du være som min Mund. De skal vende om til dig, du ikke til dem.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: If thou return, then will I bring thee again, thou shalt stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth. Let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20 Jeg gør dig for dette Folk til en Kobbermur, ingen kan storme; de skal kæmpe mod dig, men ikke faa Overhaand over dig, thi jeg er med dig for at frelse og redde dig, lyder det fra HERREN.
And I will make thee unto this people a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, to save thee and to deliver thee, saith Jehovah;
21 Jeg redder dig af ondes Vold og frier dig af Voldsmænds Haand.
yea, I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
