Jeremias 30

1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:

The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

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

'Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee on 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, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah, and I have caused them to turn back unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess it.'

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

And these [are] the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:

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

Surely thus said Jehovah: A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear — and there is no 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, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth? Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?

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

Woe! for great [is] that day, without any like it, Yea, a time of adversity it [is] to Jacob, Yet out of it he is saved.

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 hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers.

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

And they have served Jehovah their God, And David their king whom I raise up to 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.

And thou, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.

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 with thee [am] I, An affirmation of Jehovah — to save thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee.

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

For thus said Jehovah: Incurable is thy breach, grievous thy stroke,

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

There is none judging thy cause to bind up, Healing medicines there are none for thee.

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 loving thee have forgotten thee, Thee they do not seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote thee, The chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins!

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

What! — thou criest concerning thy breach! Incurable [is] thy pain, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins! I have done these to 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 consuming thee are consumed, And all thine adversaries — all of them — Into captivity do go, And thy spoilers have been for a spoil, And all thy plunderers I give up to plunder.

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

For I increase health to thee, And from thy strokes I do heal thee, An affirmation of Jehovah, For 'Outcast' they have called to thee, 'Zion it [is], there is none seeking for her.'

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 said Jehovah: Lo, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And his dwelling places I pity, And the city hath been built on its heap, And the palace according to its ordinance remaineth.

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 gone forth from them hath thanksgiving, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honourable, and they are not small.

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

And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company before Me is established, And I have seen after all his oppressors.

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 his honourable one hath been of himself, And his ruler from his midst goeth forth, And I have caused him to draw near, And he hath drawn nigh unto Me, For who [is] he who hath pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.

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

And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.

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

Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah — Fury hath gone forth — a cutting whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth.

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 fierceness of the anger of Jehovah Doth not turn back till His doing, Yea, till His establishing the devices of His heart, In the latter end of the days we consider it!
