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 speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee 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, saith the LORD, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith 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 spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

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

For thus saith 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 ye now, and see whether a man doth 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.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more serve themselves 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 thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, 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 thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.

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

For thus saith the LORD, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.

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

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast 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 thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy 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 criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

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 thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee 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 thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast, [saying], It is Zion, whom no man seeketh 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 saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded 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 aforetime, 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 prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

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

And ye 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 tempest of the LORD, [even his] fury, is gone forth, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst 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 have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it.
