Jeremias 30
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Skriv alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig, op i en Bog.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
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.
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Dette er de Ord, HERREN talede til Israel og Juda.
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 Saa siger HERREN: Vi hørte et Udbrud af Skræk, af Rædsel og Ufred;
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
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?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Thi stor er denne Dag, den er uden Lige, en Trængselstid for Jakob, men fra den skal han frelses.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 De skal tjene HERREN deres Gud og David, deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for 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.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
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.
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 Thi saa siger HERREN: Ulægeligt er dit Brud, dit Saar er svart.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Ingen fører din Sag. For din Byld er ingen Lægedom, for dig ingen Helse.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
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 allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Hvi skriger du over dit Brud, er dit Saar ulægeligt? Fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange, gjorde jeg dette imod dig.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
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.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Thi jeg heler dig, læger dine Saar, saa lyder det fra HERREN; du kaldtes jo, Zion, »den bortstødte, som ingen søger.«
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
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.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
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.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Hans Sønner skal blive som fordum, hans Menighed staa fast for mit Aasyn. Jeg hjemsøger alle, som trykker ham.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses 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.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
You [Israeli people] will 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.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 HERRENS glødende Vrede lægger sig ikke, før han har udført og fuldbyrdet sit Hjertes Tanker; i de sidste Dage skal I forstaa det.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
