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.
Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded [and] taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
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.
[There shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 Hør Skriget fra Horonajim, frygteligt Brag og Sammenbrud!
A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4 Moab er brudt sammen; lad Skriget lyde til Zoar.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Ak, grædende stiger de op ad Luhits Skraaning; ak, paa Vejen til Horonajim hører de Jammerskrig.
For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Fly, red eders Liv, og I skal blive som en Enebærbusk i Ørkenen.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
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 thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.
8 Hærværksmænd skal komme over hver By, ingen By skal reddes; Dalen skal ødelægges og Højsletten hærges, som HERREN har sagt.
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
9 Giv Moab Vinger, at det kan flyve bort; dets Byer skal blive en Ørken, saa ingen bor der.
Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 Forbandet være den, der er lad til at gøre HERRENS Værk, forbandet den, som holder sit Sværd fra Blod.
Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth 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.
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
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.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 Da skal Moab faa Skam af Kemosj, som Israels Hus havde Skam af Betel, som de stolede paa.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
14 Hvor kan I sige: »Helte er vi og djærve Folk til Krig?«
How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
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.
Moab is spoiled, and gone up [out of] her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts.
16 Moabs Undergang er nær, dets Ulykke kommer saare hastigt.
The calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 Ynk det, alle dets Naboer og alle, som kender dets Navn; sig: Hvor knækkedes dog den stærke Stav, det herlige Spir!
All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful rod!
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.
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from [thy] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, [and] he shall destroy thy strong holds.
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 inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, What is done?
20 Moab er blevet til Skamme, ja knust. Jamrer og skrig, meld ved Arnon, at Moab er hærget,
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21 at Dommen er kommet over Højslettelandet, over Holon, Jaza, Mefa'at,
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblatajim,
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
23 Kirjatajim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
24 Kerijot, Bozra og alle Byer i Moabs Land fjernt og nær.
And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or 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, saith 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 ye him drunken: for he magnified [himself] against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
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 was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
28 Røm fra Byerne og fæst Bo paa Klippen, Moabs Indbyggere, vær som Duen, der bygger Rede hist ved Afgrundens Rand.
O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove [that] maketh her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth.
29 Vi har hørt om Moabs Hovmod, det saare store, dets Stolthed, Overmod og Hovmod, dets opblæste Hjerte.
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 Jeg kender, lyder det fra HERREN, dets Frækhed, dets tomme Snak, dets tomme Gerninger.
I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].
31 Derfor maa jeg jamre over Moab, skrige over hele Moab, over Mændene i Kir-Heres maa jeg sukke.
Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; [mine heart] shall mourn 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.
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 Glæde og Jubel er svundet fra Frugthaven og Moabs Land. Jeg lader Vinen svinde fra Persekarrene, ingen træder Vin.
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting.
34 Hesjbon og El'ale skriger, det høres til Jahaz; Horonajim og Eglat-Sjelisjija skriger; ak, Nimrims Vande bliver Ødemarker.
From the cry of Heshbon [even] unto Elealeh, [and even] unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar [even] unto Horonaim, [as] an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 Jeg udrydder af Moab den, der stiger op paa Offerhøjen og tænder Offerild for dets Guder, lyder det fra HERREN.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense 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.
Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches [that] he hath gotten are perished.
37 Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, hvert Skæg revet af; i alle Hænder er der Rifter, over alle Lænder Sæk.
For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 Alt er Klage paa alle Moabs Tage og Torve; thi jeg sønderbryder Moab som et usselt Kar, lyder det fra HERREN.
[There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, saith 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.
They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 Thi saa siger HERREN: Se, som en Ørn med udbredte Vinger svæver han over Moab.
For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over 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 holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moab er ødelagt og ikke mer et Folk, fordi det hovmodede sig mod HERREN.
And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people, because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD.
43 Gru og Grav og Garn kommer over dig, du, som bor i Moab, lyder det fra HERREN;
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith 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 that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [even] upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith 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.
They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Ve dig, Moab, det er ude med dig, Kemosj's Folk. Thi dine Sønner slæbes i Fangenskab, dine Døtre ligesaa.
Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47 Men jeg vender Moabs Skæbne i de sidste Dage, lyder det fra HERREN. Saa vidt Moabs Dom.
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far [is] the judgment of Moab.
