Jeremias 30

1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2 Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Skriv alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig, op i en Bog.

Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken unto you in a book.

3 Thi se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg vender mit Folk Israels og Judas Skæbne, siger HERREN, og fører dem hjem til det Land, jeg gav deres Fædre, og de skal tage det i Eje.

For, lo, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 Dette er de Ord, HERREN talede til Israel og Juda.

And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 Saa siger HERREN: Vi hørte et Udbrud af Skræk, af Rædsel og Ufred;

For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 spørg og se dog til, om en Mand kan føde! Hvi ser jeg da alle Mænd med Haand paa Hofte som Kvinde i Barnsnød og alle Aasyn blegne?

Ask all of you now, and see whether a man does travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 Thi stor er denne Dag, den er uden Lige, en Trængselstid for Jakob, men fra den skal han frelses.

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

8 Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, vil jeg sønderbryde deres Aag og tage det af deres Hals og sprænge deres Baand, og de skal ikke mere trælle for fremmede.

For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more make use of him:

9 De skal tjene HERREN deres Gud og David, deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.

But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

10 Frygt derfor ikke, min Tjener Jakob, lyder det fra HERREN, og vær ikke bange, Israel; thi se, jeg frelser dig fra det fjerne og dit Afkom fra deres Fangenskabs Land; og Jakob skal vende hjem og bo roligt og trygt, og ingen skal forfærde ham.

Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from far, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

11 Thi jeg er med dig, lyder det fra HERREN, for at frelse dig; thi jeg vil tilintetgøre alle de Folk, blandt hvilke jeg har spredt dig, men dig vil jeg ikke tilintetgøre; jeg vil tugte dig med Maade, ikke lade dig helt ustraffet.

For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

12 Thi saa siger HERREN: Ulægeligt er dit Brud, dit Saar er svart.

For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.

13 Ingen fører din Sag. For din Byld er ingen Lægedom, for dig ingen Helse.

There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.

14 Alle dine Venner har glemt dig, søger dig ikke, thi med Fjendeslag slog jeg dig, med skaanselsløs Straf, fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange.

All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.

15 Hvi skriger du over dit Brud, er dit Saar ulægeligt? Fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange, gjorde jeg dette imod dig.

Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.

16 Derfor skal alle, som fortærer dig, fortæres, alle dine Fjender, alle skal de vandre i Fangenskab; de, der plyndrer dig, skal plyndres, til Ran gør jeg alle dine Ransmænd.

Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all of your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.

17 Thi jeg heler dig, læger dine Saar, saa lyder det fra HERREN; du kaldtes jo, Zion, »den bortstødte, som ingen søger.«

For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

18 Saa siger HERREN: Se, jeg vender Jakobs Skæbne, forbarmer mig over hans Boliger, Byen skal bygges paa sin Høj, Paladset staa, hvor det stod.

Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

19 Fra dem skal Lovsang lyde og legendes Raab; de bliver ej færre, jeg gør dem mange; de bliver ej ringe, jeg giver dem Hæder.

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 Hans Sønner skal blive som fordum, hans Menighed staa fast for mit Aasyn. Jeg hjemsøger alle, som trykker ham.

Their children also shall be as in old times, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

21 Hans Fyrste stammer fra ham selv, hans Hersker gaar frem af hans Midte. Jeg lader ham komme mig nær, han skal nærme sig mig; thi hvem ellers sætter Livet i Vove ved at nærme sig mig? lyder det fra HERREN.

And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.

22 I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.

And all of you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 Se, HERRENS Stormvejr, Vreden er brudt løs, et hvirvlende Stormvejr; det hvirvler hen over de gudløses Hoved.

Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

24 HERRENS glødende Vrede lægger sig ikke, før han har udført og fuldbyrdet sit Hjertes Tanker; i de sidste Dage skal I forstaa det.

The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days all of you shall consider it.
