Jeremias 33
1 HERRENS Ord kom anden Gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgaarden, saaledes:
The word of Jehovah came also to Jeremiah the second time, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, and said: —
2 Saa siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
Thus saith Jehovah, who doeth it, Jehovah who disposeth it, to establish it; Jehovah is his name.
3 Kald paa mig, saa vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
Call to me, and I will answer thee, And I will show thee great things, And hidden 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, And concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, Which are thrown down toward the mounds and 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:
To fight with the Chaldaeans, And to fill them with the dead bodies of men, Whom I have smitten in mine anger and in my wrath, And for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city:
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 bind up her wounds, and heal them, And I will reveal to them abundance of peace and stability.
7 Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
And I will bring back the captives of Judah, And the captives of Israel, And I will build them, as at the 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 cleanse them from all their iniquity, Whereby they have sinned against me; And I will forgive all their iniquities, Whereby they have sinned, And have rebelled 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 it [[the city]] shall be to me a name of joy, A praise and a glory among all the nations of the earth, Who shall hear of all the good which I do to them. And they shall fear and tremble because of all the good, And because of all the prosperity, which I bestow upon 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,
Thus saith Jehovah: Yet again shall be heard in this place, Of which ye say, “It is desolate, without man and without beast,” In the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate, without man, Even without an 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 say, “Praise ye Jehovah of hosts, For Jehovah is good, For his mercy endureth forever!” And of them that bring an offering of praise to the house of Jehovah. For I will restore the captives of the land, As at the first, saith Jehovah.
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 Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, Which is desolate, without man and without beast, And in all the cities thereof, A habitation of shepherds, who shall cause their flocks to 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 cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the plain, And in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, And in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, Shall the flocks pass yet again Under the hands of him that numbereth them, saith Jehovah.
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 Jehovah, That I will perform that good thing Which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel, And concerning the house 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 Will I cause to grow up from David a righteous branch, Who shall maintain justice and equity 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 shall Judah be saved, And Jerusalem shall dwell securely; And this is the name which shall be given her, Jehovah-is-our-salvation.
17 Thi saa siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde paa Israels Hus's Trone.
For thus saith Jehovah: There shall never fail 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 from the priests and the Levites Shall a man fail before me, To offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle meat-offerings, And to perform sacrifice continually.
19 Og HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias saaledes:
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah and said,
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 Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant concerning the day, And my covenant concerning the night, So that there shall no more 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.
Then also may my covenant with David my servant be broken, So that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne, And 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 the host of heaven cannot be numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So will I multiply the posterity of David my servant, And the Levites who minister to me.
23 Og HERRENS Ord kom til Jeremias saaledes:
The word of Jehovah came also 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.
Seest thou not what this people speaketh, saying, “The two families, which Jehovah chose, he hath cast off”? Therefore they despise my people, So that they are no more a people in their eyes.
25 Saa siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant concerning the day and the night be not maintained, And if I have not established the ordinances of the heaven and the 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.
Then will I cast away the posterity of Jacob, and of David, my servant, So as not to take of his posterity to be rulers Over the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; For I will bring them back from their captivity, And have mercy upon them.
