Jeremias 25
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias om alt Judas Folk i Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde Aar, det er Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels første Aar,
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (this was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
2 og som Profeten Jeremias talte til alt Judas Folk og alle Jerusalems Borgere:
which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
3 Fra Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, trettende Aar til den Dag i Dag, i fulde tre og tyve Aar er HERRENS Ord kommet til mig, og jeg talte til eder aarle og silde, men I hørte ikke;
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the LORD’s word has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
4 og HERREN sendte aarle og silde alle sine Tjenere Profeterne til eder, men I hørte ikke; I bøjede ikke eders Øre til at høre,
The LORD has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear),
5 naar han sagde: »Omvend eder, hver fra sin onde Vej og sine onde Gerninger, at I fra Evighed til Evighed maa bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre;
saying, “Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forever more.
6 og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, saa I dyrker og tilbeder dem, og krænk mig ikke med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.«
Don’t go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and don’t provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; then I will do you no harm.”
7 Nej, I hørte mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN, og saa krænkede I mig med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.
“Yet you have not listened to me,” says the LORD, “that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.”
8 Derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Fordi I ikke vilde høre mine Ord,
Therefore the LORD of Armies says: “Because you have not heard my words,
9 vil jeg sende Bud efter alle Nordens Stammer, lyder det fra HERREN, og til Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, min Tjener, og lade dem komme over dette Land og dets Indbyggere og over alle Folkene heromkring, og jeg vil ødelægge dem og gøre dem til Rædsel, Latter og Spot for evigt.
behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,” says the LORD, “and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around. I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Jeg fjerner fra dem Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Kværnens Lyd og Lampens Skin,
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 og hele dette Land skal blive til Ørk og Øde, og disse Folkeslag skal trælle for Babels Konge i halvfjerdsindstyve Aar.
This whole land will be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 Men naar der er gaaet halvfjerdsindstyve Aar, hjemsøger jeg Babels Konge og Folket der for deres Misgerning, lyder det fra HERREN, ogsaa Kaldæernes Land hjemsøger jeg og gør det til evige Ørkener,
“It will happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,” says the LORD, “for their iniquity. I will make the land of the Chaldeans desolate forever.
13 og jeg opfylder paa dette Land alle mine Ord, som jeg har talet imod det, alt, hvad der er skrevet i denne Bog, alt, hvad Jeremias har profeteret mod alle Folkene.
I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Thi ogsaa dem skal mange Folk og vældige Konger gøre til Trælle, og jeg gengælder dem deres Gerning og deres Hænders Værk.
For many nations and great kings will make bondservants of them, even of them. I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.”
15 Thi saaledes sagde HERREN, Israels Gud, til mig: »Tag dette Bæger med min Vredes Vin af min Haand og giv alle de Folk, jeg sender dig til, at drikke deraf;
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
16 de skal drikke og rave og rase for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt dem!«
They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Og jeg tog Bægeret af HERRENS Haand og gav alle de Folk, han sendte mig til, at drikke deraf:
Then I took the cup at the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
18 Jerusalem og Judas Byer og dets Konger og Fyrster, for at gøre dem til Ørk og Øde, til Spot og til et Forbandelsens Tegn, som det er paa denne Dag;
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;
19 Farao, Ægypterkongen, med alle hans Tjenere og Fyrster og alt hans Folk,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;
20 alt Blandingsfolket og alle Konger i Uz og Filisterland, Askalon, Gaza og Ekron og Asdods Rest;
and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edom, Moab og Ammoniterne;
Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22 alle Tyrus's og Zidons Konger og den fjerne strands Konger hinsides Havet;
and all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
23 Dedan, Tema og Buz og alle dem med rundklippet Haar;
Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
24 alle Arabernes Konger og alle Blandingsfolkets Konger, som bor i Ørkenen;
and all the kings of Arabia, all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;
25 alle Zimris Konger, alle Elams Konger og alle Mediens Konger;
and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 alle Nordens Konger, nær og fjern, den ene efter den anden, alle Riger paa Jordens Overflade; og Kongen af Sjesjak skal drikke efter dem.
and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth. The king of Sheshach will drink after them.
27 Og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Drik, bliv drukne og spy, fald og rejs eder ikke mere for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt eder!
“You shall tell them, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’
28 Og hvis de vægrer sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Haand og drikke, skal du sige til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Drikke skal I!
It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “You shall surely drink.
29 Thi se, med den By, mit Navn er nævnet over, begynder jeg at handle ilde, og saa skulde I gaa fri! Nej, I gaar ikke fri; thi jeg kalder Sværdet hid mod alle dem, som bor paa Jorden, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says the LORD of Armies.”’
30 Og du skal profetere alle disse Ord for dem og sige: HERREN brøler fra det høje, løfter sin Røst fra sin hellige Bolig; han brøler over sin Græsgang, istemmer Vinperserraabet over alle, som bor paa Jorden.
“Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “‘The LORD will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Drønet naar til Jordens Ende, thi HERREN gaar i Rette med Folkene; over alt Kød holder han Dom, de gudløse giver han til Sværdet, lyder det fra HERREN.
A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,”’ says the LORD.”
32 Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, Ulykken gaar fra det ene Folk til det andet, et vældigt Vejr bryder løs fra Jordens Rand.
The LORD of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”
33 HERRENS slagne skal paa den Dag ligge fra Jordens ene Ende til den anden; der skal ikke holdes Klage over dem, og de skal ikke sankes og jordes; de skal blive til Gødning paa Marken.
The slain of the LORD will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They won’t be lamented. They won’t be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
34 Jamrer, I Hyrder, og skrig, I Hjordens ypperste, vælt jer i Støvet! Thi Tiden, I skal slagtes, er kommet, som en kostelig Skaal skal I splintres.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry. Wallow in dust, you leader of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and you will fall like fine pottery.
35 Hyrderne finder ej Tilflugt, ej Hjordens ypperste Redning.
The shepherds will have no way to flee. The leader of the flock will have no escape.
36 Hør, hvor Hyrderne skriger, hvor Hjordens ypperste jamrer! Thi HERREN hærger deres Græsgange,
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leader of the flock, for the LORD destroys their pasture.
37 og Fredens Vange lægges øde for HERRENS glødende Vrede;
The peaceful folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 Løven gaar bort fra sin Tykning, thi deres Land er lagt øde for det hærgende Sværd, for HERRENS glødende Vrede.
He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.
