Jeremias 17
1 Optegnet er Judas Synd med Griffel af Jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og paa deres Altres Horn,
The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2 naar Sønnerne kommer deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, paa alle grønne Træer, paa de høje Steder,
whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills.
3 paa Bjergene paa Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, saa langt dine Grænser naar.
My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, — thy high places, because of sin throughout thy borders.
4 Din Haand maa slippe din Arvelod, den, jeg gav dig. Jeg lader dig trælle for Fjender i et ukendt Land, thi Ild luer op i min Vrede, den brænder evigt.
And of thyself thou shalt let go thine inheritance which I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in a land that thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, — it shall burn for ever.
5 Saa siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler paa Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
6 Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og faar ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler paa HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
Blessed is the man that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah is.
8 Han bliver som et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, naar Heden kommer, hvis Løv er frodiggrønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens Aar eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit.
9 Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?
10 Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each one according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
11 Som en Agerhøne paa Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han maa slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slaar ved sin Død som en Daare.
[As] the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
A throne of glory, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 HERRE, du Israels Haab, enhver, der forlader dig, faar Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
Thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth; because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
14 Læg mig, HERRE, saa jeg læges, frels du mig, saa jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
Heal me, Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
15 Se, de andre siger til mig: »Hvor er HERRENS Ord? Lad det komme!«
Behold, these say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it then come!
16 Jeg vægred mig ej ved at være Hyrde i dit Spor, begæred ej heller Ulykkens Dag, du ved det; hvad der udgik fra mine Læber, er for dit Aasyn.
But as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following thee, neither have I desired the fatal day, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
17 Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt paa Ulykkens Dag.
Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Lad Forfølgerne beskæmmes, lad ej mig beskæmmes, lad dem forfærdes, lad ej mig forfærdes; send over dem Ulykkens Dag, knus dem og gentag Slaget!
Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and break them with a double breaking.
19 Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gaa hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger gaar ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalems Porte
Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som gaar ind ad disse Porte!
and say unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;
21 Saa siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen!
thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse paa Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbatsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers,
23 De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
but they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but hardened their neck, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.
24 Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, saa I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde paa den,
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 saa skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder paa Davids Trone, drage ind ad denne Bys Porte med Vogne og Heste, de og deres Fyrster, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere, og denne By skal staa til evig Tid.
then shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
26 Og fra Judas Byer, fra Jerusalems Omegn, fra Benjamins Land, fra Lavlandet, Bjergene og Sydlandet skal man komme og bringe Brændoffer, Slagtoffer, Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse og Takoffer til HERRENS Hus.
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah.
27 Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, saa sætter jeg Ild paa dets Porte, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
But if ye will not hearken unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
