Jeremias 33
1 HERRENS Ord kom anden Gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgaarden, saaledes:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
2 Saa siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;
3 Kald paa mig, saa vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.
4 Thi saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne Bys Huse og om Judas Kongers Huse, som nedbrødes for at bruges til Volde og Mur,
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said about the houses of this town and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been broken down to make earthworks and ...;
5 da man gav sig til at stride imod Kaldæerne, og som fyldtes med Ligene af de Mennesker, jeg slog i min Vrede og Harme, og for hvem jeg skjulte mit Aasyn for al deres Ondskabs Skyld:
... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.
6 Se, jeg vil lade Byens Saar heles og læges, og jeg helbreder dem og oplader for dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.
7 Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
And I will let the fate of Judah and of Israel be changed, building them up as at first.
8 Jeg renser dem for al deres Brøde, med hvilken de syndede imod mig, og tilgiver alle deres Misgerninger, med hvilke de syndede og forbrød sig imod mig.
And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.
9 Byen skal blive til Glæde, til Pris og Ære blandt alle Jordens Folk; og naar de hører om alt det gode, jeg gør den, skal de frygte og bæve over alt det gode og al den Lykke, jeg lader den times.
And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.
10 Saa siger HERREN: Paa dette Sted, som I siger er ødelagt, uden Mennesker og Kvæg, i Judas Byer og paa Jerusalems Gader, der er lagt øde, uden Mennesker og Kvæg,
This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,
11 skal atter høres Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Raab af Folk, som siger: »Tak Hærskarers HERRE; thi HERREN er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!« og som bringer Takoffer til HERRENS Hus; thi jeg vender Landets Skæbne, saa det bliver som tilforn, siger HERREN.
Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.
12 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Paa dette ødelagte Sted, som er uden Mennesker og Kvæg, og i alle dets Byer skal der atter være Græsgange, hvor Hyrder lader deres Hjorde ligge;
This is what the Lord of armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.
13 i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer, i Benjamins Land, i Jerusalems Omegn og i Judas Byer skal Smaakvæget atter gaa forbi under Tællerens Haand, siger HERREN.
In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.
14 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg opfylder den Forjættelse, jeg udtalte om Israels og Judas Hus.
See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will give effect to the good word which I have said about the people of Israel and the people of Judah.
15 I hine Dage og til hin Tid lader jeg en Retfærds Spire fremspire for David, og han skal øve Ret og Retfærd i Landet.
In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.
16 I hine Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo trygt, og man skal kalde det: HERREN vor Retfærdighed.
In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
17 Thi saa siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde paa Israels Hus's Trone.
For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel;
18 Og Levitpræsterne skal aldrig fattes en Mand til at staa for mit Aasyn og frembære Brændoffer, brænde Afgrødeoffer og ofre Slagtoffer.
And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.
19 Og HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 Saa siger HERREN: Hvis min Pagt med Dagen og Natten brydes, saa det ikke bliver Dag og Nat, naar Tid er inde,
The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,
21 da skal ogsaa min Pagt med min Tjener David brydes, saa han ikke har nogen Søn til at sidde som Konge paa sin Trone, og med Levitpræsterne, som tjener mig.
Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.
22 Som Himmelens Hær ikke kan tælles og Havets Sand ikke maales, saaledes vil jeg mangfoldiggøre min Tjener Davids Afkom og Leviterne, som tjener mig.
As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.
23 Og HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Har du ikke lagt Mærke til, hvorledes dette Folk siger: »De to Slægter, HERREN udvalgte, har han forkastet!« Og de smæder mit Folk, fordi det i deres Øjne ikke mer er et Folk.
Have you taken note of what these people have said, The two families, which the Lord took for himself, he has given up? This they say, looking down on my people as being, in their eyes, no longer a nation.
25 Saa siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,
26 saa vil jeg ogsaa forkaste Jakobs Afkom og min Tjener David og ikke af hans Afkom tage Herskere over Abrahams, Isaks og Jakobs Afkom; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne og forbarmer mig over dem.
Then I will give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.
