Jeremias 33
1 HERRENS Ord kom anden Gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgaarden, saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying:
2 Saa siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it, and prepare it, the Lord is his name.
3 Kald paa mig, saa vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.
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 thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which rue destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to the sword.
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:
Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath, and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6 Se, jeg vil lade Byens Saar heles og læges, og jeg helbreder dem og oplader for dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.
7 Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.
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 cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised 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 it shall be to me a name, and a joy, and a praise, and a gladness before all the nations of the earth, that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things, and for all the peace that I will make for them.
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,
Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast: in the cities of Juda, and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, 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.
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith 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;
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
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.
And in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith the Lord.
14 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg opfylder den Forjættelse, jeg udtalte om Israels og Judas Hus.
Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda.
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 make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.
16 I hine Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo trygt, og man skal kalde det: HERREN vor Retfærdighed.
In those days shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one.
17 Thi saa siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde paa Israels Hus's Trone.
For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 Og Levitpræsterne skal aldrig fattes en Mand til at staa for mit Aasyn og frembære Brændoffer, brænde Afgrødeoffer og ofre Slagtoffer.
Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually:
19 Og HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
20 Saa siger HERREN: Hvis min Pagt med Dagen og Natten brydes, saa det ikke bliver Dag og Nat, naar Tid er inde,
Thus saith the Lord: If my covenant with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
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.
Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers.
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 the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.
23 Og HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, 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.
Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them?
25 Saa siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
Thus saith the Lord: If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth:
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.
Surely I will also cast; off the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will bring back their captivity, and will have mercy on them.
