Jeremias 48
1 Om Moab. Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ve over Nebo, thi det er lagt øde, blevet til Skamme; indtaget er Kirjatajim, med Skam er Borgen brudt ned.
Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place is put to shame and broken down.
2 Der er ingen Lægedom mer for Moab, intet Fryderaab i Hesjbon; de oplægger onde Raad imod det: »Kom, lad os udrydde det af Folkenes Tal!« Ogsaa du, Madmen, skal omkomme, Sværdet skal forfølge dig.
The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.
3 Hør Skriget fra Horonajim, frygteligt Brag og Sammenbrud!
There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;
4 Moab er brudt sammen; lad Skriget lyde til Zoar.
Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.
5 Ak, grædende stiger de op ad Luhits Skraaning; ak, paa Vejen til Horonajim hører de Jammerskrig.
For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.
6 Fly, red eders Liv, og I skal blive som en Enebærbusk i Ørkenen.
Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.
7 Ja, fordi du stolede paa dine Borge og Skatte, skal ogsaa du fanges. Kemosj skal vandre i Landflygtighed, hans Præster og Fyrster til Hobe.
For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.
8 Hærværksmænd skal komme over hver By, ingen By skal reddes; Dalen skal ødelægges og Højsletten hærges, som HERREN har sagt.
And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.
9 Giv Moab Vinger, at det kan flyve bort; dets Byer skal blive en Ørken, saa ingen bor der.
Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
10 Forbandet være den, der er lad til at gøre HERRENS Værk, forbandet den, som holder sit Sværd fra Blod.
Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 Moab var tryg fra sin Ungdom, laa roligt paa sin Bærme; det hældtes ikke fra Fad til Fad og vandrede ikke i Landflygtighed; derfor holdt det sin Smag, og dets Duft tabte sig ikke.
From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.
12 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg sender Vintappere, som skal tappe det og tømme dets Fade og knuse dets Dunke.
So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.
13 Da skal Moab faa Skam af Kemosj, som Israels Hus havde Skam af Betel, som de stolede paa.
And Moab will be shamed on account of Chemosh, as the children of Israel were shamed on account of Beth-el their hope.
14 Hvor kan I sige: »Helte er vi og djærve Folk til Krig?«
How say you, We are men of war and strong fighters?
15 Moab skal hærges med sine Byer og dets ypperste Ynglinge stige ned til at slagtes, lyder det fra Kongen, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE.
He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
16 Moabs Undergang er nær, dets Ulykke kommer saare hastigt.
The fate of Moab is near, and trouble is coming on him very quickly.
17 Ynk det, alle dets Naboer og alle, som kender dets Navn; sig: Hvor knækkedes dog den stærke Stav, det herlige Spir!
All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch!
18 Stig ned fra Æressædet, sæt dig i Skarnet, du, som bor der, Dibons Datter! Thi han, der hærger Moab, drager op imod dig, nedbryder dine Fæstninger.
Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places.
19 Staa hen paa Vejen og se dig om, du, som bor i Aroer, spørg Flygtningene og de undslupne Kvinder, sig: »Hvad er der sket?«
O daughter of Aroer, take your station by the way, on the watch: questioning him who is in flight, and her who has got away safe, say, What has been done?
20 Moab er blevet til Skamme, ja knust. Jamrer og skrig, meld ved Arnon, at Moab er hærget,
Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste.
21 at Dommen er kommet over Højslettelandet, over Holon, Jaza, Mefa'at,
And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblatajim,
And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
23 Kirjatajim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,
And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,
24 Kerijot, Bozra og alle Byer i Moabs Land fjernt og nær.
And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.
25 Afhugget er Moabs Horn, og dets Arm er brudt, lyder det fra HERREN.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the Lord.
26 Gør det drukkent! Thi det hovmodede sig mod HERREN; og Moab skal falde omkuld i sit eget Spy, ogsaa det skal blive til Latter.
Make him full of wine, for his heart has been lifted up against the Lord: and Moab will be rolling in the food he was not able to keep down, and everyone will be making sport of him.
27 Var ikke Israel til Latter for dig? Blev det maaske grebet blandt Tyve, siden du bliver saa ivrig, hver Gang du taler derom?
For did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.
28 Røm fra Byerne og fæst Bo paa Klippen, Moabs Indbyggere, vær som Duen, der bygger Rede hist ved Afgrundens Rand.
O people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.
29 Vi har hørt om Moabs Hovmod, det saare store, dets Stolthed, Overmod og Hovmod, dets opblæste Hjerte.
We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride; and his great opinion of himself, and that his heart is lifted up.
30 Jeg kender, lyder det fra HERREN, dets Frækhed, dets tomme Snak, dets tomme Gerninger.
I have knowledge of his wrath, says the Lord, that it is nothing; his high-sounding words have done nothing.
31 Derfor maa jeg jamre over Moab, skrige over hele Moab, over Mændene i Kir-Heres maa jeg sukke.
For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.
32 Ja'zers Graad græder jeg over dig, Sibmas Vinstok; dine Skud overskred Havet, naaede til Ja'zer; paa din Frugt og din Høst slog Hærværksmanden ned.
My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.
33 Glæde og Jubel er svundet fra Frugthaven og Moabs Land. Jeg lader Vinen svinde fra Persekarrene, ingen træder Vin.
All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.
34 Hesjbon og El'ale skriger, det høres til Jahaz; Horonajim og Eglat-Sjelisjija skriger; ak, Nimrims Vande bliver Ødemarker.
The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.
35 Jeg udrydder af Moab den, der stiger op paa Offerhøjen og tænder Offerild for dets Guder, lyder det fra HERREN.
And I will put an end in Moab, says the Lord, to him who is making offerings in the high place and burning perfumes to his gods.
36 Derfor klager mit Hjerte som Fløjter over Moab, og mit Hjerte klager som Fløjter over Kir-Heres's Mænd. Godset, de vandt, gaar derfor til Spilde.
So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.
37 Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, hvert Skæg revet af; i alle Hænder er der Rifter, over alle Lænder Sæk.
For everywhere the hair of the head and the hair of the face is cut off: on every hand there are wounds, and haircloth on every body.
38 Alt er Klage paa alle Moabs Tage og Torve; thi jeg sønderbryder Moab som et usselt Kar, lyder det fra HERREN.
On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.
39 Hvor er Moab forfærdet! Hvor vender det Ryg med Skam! Ja, Moab er blevet til Latter og Rædsel for alle sine Naboer.
How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.
40 Thi saa siger HERREN: Se, som en Ørn med udbredte Vinger svæver han over Moab.
For the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Moab.
41 Kerijot er taget og Borgene faldet. Moabs Heltes Hjerte bliver paa hin Dag som en nødstedt Kvindes Hjerte.
Kerioth is taken, and the strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
42 Moab er ødelagt og ikke mer et Folk, fordi det hovmodede sig mod HERREN.
And Moab will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.
43 Gru og Grav og Garn kommer over dig, du, som bor i Moab, lyder det fra HERREN;
Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.
44 den, der flygter for Gru, falder i Grav, den, der naar op af Grav, fanges i Garn. Thi jeg bringer over Moab deres Hjemsøgelses Aar, lyder det fra HERREN.
He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.
45 I Ly af Hesjbon staar Flygtninge uden Kraft. Thi Ild farer ud fra Hesjbon, Ildslue fra Sihons Stad; den fortærer Moabs Tinding og de larmende Mænds Isse.
Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.
46 Ve dig, Moab, det er ude med dig, Kemosj's Folk. Thi dine Sønner slæbes i Fangenskab, dine Døtre ligesaa.
Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.
47 Men jeg vender Moabs Skæbne i de sidste Dage, lyder det fra HERREN. Saa vidt Moabs Dom.
But still, I will let the fate of Moab be changed in the last days, says the Lord.
