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.
To Moab, Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been devastated. Kiriathaim has been humiliated and captured. Her fortress has been disgraced and crushed.
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 honor of Moab is no more. Their enemies in Heshbon plotted disaster against her. They said, 'Come and let us destroy her as a nation. Madmen will also perish—a sword will go after you.'
3 Hør Skriget fra Horonajim, frygteligt Brag og Sammenbrud!
Listen! A sound of screaming is coming from Horonaim, where there is ruin and great destruction.
4 Moab er brudt sammen; lad Skriget lyde til Zoar.
Moab has been destroyed. Her children have made their cries heard.
5 Ak, grædende stiger de op ad Luhits Skraaning; ak, paa Vejen til Horonajim hører de Jammerskrig.
They go up the hill of Luhith weeping, for on the way down to Horonaim, screams are heard because of the destruction.
6 Fly, red eders Liv, og I skal blive som en Enebærbusk i Ørkenen.
Flee! Save your lives and become like a juniper bush 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 of your trust in your practices and your wealth, you also will be captured. Then Chemosh will go away into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
8 Hærværksmænd skal komme over hver By, ingen By skal reddes; Dalen skal ødelægges og Højsletten hærges, som HERREN har sagt.
For the destroyer will come to every city; no city will escape. So the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated, as Yahweh has said.
9 Giv Moab Vinger, at det kan flyve bort; dets Byer skal blive en Ørken, saa ingen bor der.
Give wings to Moab, for she must certainly fly away. Her cities will become a wasteland, where there is no one to live in them.
10 Forbandet være den, der er lad til at gøre HERRENS Værk, forbandet den, som holder sit Sværd fra Blod.
May anyone who is lazy in doing Yahweh's work be cursed! May anyone who keeps his sword back from shedding blood be cursed!
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 has felt secure since he was young. He is like his wine that has never been poured from pot to pot. He has never gone into captivity. Therefore he tastes as good as ever; his flavor remains 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 see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will send him those who will tip him over and pour out all his pots and shatter his jars.
13 Da skal Moab faa Skam af Kemosj, som Israels Hus havde Skam af Betel, som de stolede paa.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their object of trust.
14 Hvor kan I sige: »Helte er vi og djærve Folk til Krig?«
How can you say, 'We are soldiers, powerful fighting men'?
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 will be devastated and its cities attacked. For its finest young men have gone down to the place of slaughter. This is the king's declaration! Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 Moabs Undergang er nær, dets Ulykke kommer saare hastigt.
Moab's disaster is soon to happen; calamity is hurrying 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 around Moab, wail; and all you who know its fame, shout this, 'Woe, the strong staff, the honored rod, has been broken.'
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 honored place and sit on the dry ground, you daughter living in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab is attacking you, the one who will destroy your strongholds.
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?«
Stand on the road and watch, you people who live in Aroer. Ask the ones who are fleeing and escaping. Say, 'What has happened?'
20 Moab er blevet til Skamme, ja knust. Jamrer og skrig, meld ved Arnon, at Moab er hærget,
Moab has been shamed, for it has been shattered. Howl and lament; shout for help. Tell it to people by the Arnon River that Moab has been devastated.
21 at Dommen er kommet over Højslettelandet, over Holon, Jaza, Mefa'at,
Now punishment has come to the hill country, to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblatajim,
to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kirjatajim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,
to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,
24 Kerijot, Bozra og alle Byer i Moabs Land fjernt og nær.
To Kerioth and Bozrah, and to all the cities in the land of Moab— the farthest and the closest cities.
25 Afhugget er Moabs Horn, og dets Arm er brudt, lyder det fra HERREN.
The horn of Moab has been hacked off; its arm has been broken—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 drunk, because he acted proudly against Yahweh. Let Moab wallow in his vomit, and let him be an object of ridicule.
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 not Israel become an object for laughter to you? Was he found among thieves, so that you shook your head at him as often as you spoke about him?
28 Røm fra Byerne og fæst Bo paa Klippen, Moabs Indbyggere, vær som Duen, der bygger Rede hist ved Afgrundens Rand.
Abandon the cities and camp on the cliffs, inhabitants of Moab. Become like a dove that is nesting over the mouth of a hole in the rocks.
29 Vi har hørt om Moabs Hovmod, det saare store, dets Stolthed, Overmod og Hovmod, dets opblæste Hjerte.
We have heard of Moab's pride—his arrogance, his haughtiness, his pride, his self-glory and the conceit in his heart.
30 Jeg kender, lyder det fra HERREN, dets Frækhed, dets tomme Snak, dets tomme Gerninger.
This is Yahweh's declaration—I myself know his defiant speech, which amounts to nothing, like his deeds.
31 Derfor maa jeg jamre over Moab, skrige over hele Moab, over Mændene i Kir-Heres maa jeg sukke.
So I will howl a lament for Moab, and I will shout in sorrow for all of Moab. I will lament for the people of Kir Hareseth.
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.
I will weep for you more than I did for Jazer, vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed across the Salt Sea and reached as far as Jazer. The destroyers have attacked your summer fruit and your wine.
33 Glæde og Jubel er svundet fra Frugthaven og Moabs Land. Jeg lader Vinen svinde fra Persekarrene, ingen træder Vin.
So celebration and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruit trees and the land of Moab. I have put an end to the wine from their winepresses. They will not tread with joyful shouts. Any shouts will not be shouts of joy.
34 Hesjbon og El'ale skriger, det høres til Jahaz; Horonajim og Eglat-Sjelisjija skriger; ak, Nimrims Vande bliver Ødemarker.
From the shouts at Heshbon as far as Elealeh, their sound is heard at Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, since even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 Jeg udrydder af Moab den, der stiger op paa Offerhøjen og tænder Offerild for dets Guder, lyder det fra HERREN.
For I will put an end to anyone in Moab who makes sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 lamenting for Moab like a flute. My heart is lamenting like flutes for the people of Kir Hareseth. The riches they gained are gone.
37 Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, hvert Skæg revet af; i alle Hænder er der Rifter, over alle Lænder Sæk.
For every head is bald and every beard shaved. Incisions are on every hand, and sackcloth is around their waists.
38 Alt er Klage paa alle Moabs Tage og Torve; thi jeg sønderbryder Moab som et usselt Kar, lyder det fra HERREN.
There is mourning everywhere, on every flat roof of Moab and in Moab's plazas. For I have destroyed Moab like pots that no one wants—this is Yahweh's declaration.
39 Hvor er Moab forfærdet! Hvor vender det Ryg med Skam! Ja, Moab er blevet til Latter og Rædsel for alle sine Naboer.
How it has been shattered! How they howl in their lamenting! Moab turns its back in shame! So Moab will become an object of derision and a terror to all those who are around him.”
40 Thi saa siger HERREN: Se, som en Ørn med udbredte Vinger svæver han over Moab.
For Yahweh says this, “See, the enemy will come flying like an eagle, spreading out his wings over Moab.
41 Kerijot er taget og Borgene faldet. Moabs Heltes Hjerte bliver paa hin Dag som en nødstedt Kvindes Hjerte.
Kerioth has been captured, and its strongholds have been seized. For in that day the hearts of Moab's soldiers will be like the hearts of women in birth labor.
42 Moab er ødelagt og ikke mer et Folk, fordi det hovmodede sig mod HERREN.
So Moab will be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he made himself to be great against Yahweh.
43 Gru og Grav og Garn kommer over dig, du, som bor i Moab, lyder det fra HERREN;
Terror and the pit, and a trap are coming on you, inhabitant of Moab—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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.
Anyone who flees because of terror will fall into the pit, and anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap, for I will bring this on them in the year of my vengeance against them—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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.
The ones who flee will stand in the shadow of Heshbon without any strength, for fire will go out from Heshbon, flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the top of the heads of the boastful people.
46 Ve dig, Moab, det er ude med dig, Kemosj's Folk. Thi dine Sønner slæbes i Fangenskab, dine Døtre ligesaa.
Woe to you, Moab! Chemosh's people are destroyed, For your sons are taken as captives and your daughters into captivity.
47 Men jeg vender Moabs Skæbne i de sidste Dage, lyder det fra HERREN. Saa vidt Moabs Dom.
But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in later days—this is Yahweh's declaration.” The judgment on Moab ends here.
