Jeremias 7
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Staa hen i Porten til HERRENS Hus og udraab dette Ord: Hør HERRENS Ord, hele Juda, I, som gaar ind gennem disse Porte for at tilbede HERREN!
Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:
3 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger, saa vil jeg lade eder bo paa dette Sted.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Stol ikke paa den Løgnetale: Her er HERRENS Tempel, HERRENS Tempel, HERRENS Tempel!
Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!
5 Men bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger! Dersom I virkelig øver Ret Mand og Mand imellem,
For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour,
6 ikke undertrykker den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, ej heller udgyder uskyldigt Blod paa dette Sted, ej heller til egen Skade holder eder til fremmede Guder,
Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,
7 saa vil jeg til evige Tider lade eder bo paa dette Sted i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre.
Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.
8 Se, I stoler paa Løgnetale, som intet baader.
Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
9 Stjæle, slaa ihjel, hore, sværge falsk, tænde Offerild for Ba'al, holde eder til fremmede Guder, som I ikke kender til —
Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not.
10 og saa kommer I og staar for mit Aasyn i dette Hus, som mit Navn nævnes over, og siger: »Vi er frelst!« — for at gøre alle disse Vederstyggeligheder.
And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, 'We have been delivered,' In order to do all these abominations.
11 Holder I dette Hus, som mit Navn nævnes over, for en Røverkule? Men se, ogsaa jeg har Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN.
A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
12 Gaa dog hen til mit hellige Sted i Silo, hvor jeg først stedfæstede mit Navn, og se, hvad jeg gjorde ved det for mit Folk Israels Ondskabs Skyld.
But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel.
13 Og nu, fordi I øver alle disse Gerninger, lyder det fra HERREN, og fordi I ikke vilde høre, naar jeg aarle og silde talede til eder, eller svare, naar jeg kaldte paa eder,
And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,
14 derfor vil jeg gøre med Huset, som mit Navn nævnes over, og som I stoler paa, og med Stedet, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre, ligesom jeg gjorde med Silo;
I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 og jeg vil støde eder bort fra mit Aasyn, som jeg stødte alle eders Brødre bort, al Efraims Æt.
And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Men du maa ikke gaa i Forbøn for dette Folk eller frembære klage og Bøn eller trænge ind paa mig for dem, thi jeg hører dig ikke.
And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.
17 Ser du ikke, hvad de har for i Judas Byer og paa Jerusalems Gader?
Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
18 Børnene sanker Brænde, Fædrene tænder Ild, og Kvinderne ælter Dejg for at bage Offerkager til Himmelens Dronning og udgyde Drikofre for fremmede Guder og krænke mig.
The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
19 Mon det er mig, de krænker, lyder det fra HERREN, mon ikke sig selv til deres Ansigters Skam?
Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?
20 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, min Vrede og Harme udgyder sig over dette Sted, over Folk og Fæ, over Markens Træer og Jordens Frugt, og den skal brænde uden at slukkes.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not quenched.
21 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Læg eders Brændofre til eders Slagtofre og æd Kød!
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh.
22 Thi dengang jeg førte eders Fædre ud af Ægypten, talede jeg ikke til dem eller bød dem noget om Brændoffer og Slagtoffer;
For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
23 men dette bød jeg dem: »I skal høre min Røst, saa vil jeg være eders Gud, og I skal være mit Folk; og I skal gaa paa alle de Veje, jeg byder eder, at det maa gaa eder vel.«
But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye — ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
24 Men de hørte ikke og laante ikke Øre; de fulgte deres onde Hjertes Stivsind og gik tilbage, ikke fremad.
And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.
25 Fra den Dag eders Fædre drog ud af Ægypten, og til i Dag har jeg Dag efter Dag, aarle og silde sendt eder alle mine Tjenere Profeterne;
Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,
26 men de hørte ikke og laante ikke Øre; de gjorde Nakken stiv og øvede mere ondt end deres Fædre.
And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
27 Naar du siger dem alle disse Ord, hører de dig ikke, og kalder du paa dem, svarer de dig ikke.
And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer thee.
28 Sig saa til dem: Det er det Folk, som ej hørte HERREN deres Guds Røst, det, som ej tog ved Lære; Sandhed er svundet, udryddet af deres Mund.
And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.
29 Afklip dit Haar, kast det bort og klag paa de nøgne Høje! Thi HERREN har forkastet og bortstødt den Slægt, han var vred paa.
Cut off thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth the generation of His wrath.
30 Thi Judas Sønner har gjort, hvad der er ondt i mine Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN; de har opstillet deres væmmelige Guder i Huset, som mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;
For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called — to defile it,
31 de har bygget Tofets Offerhøje i Hinnoms Søns Dal for at brænde deres Sønner og Døtre i Ilden, hvad jeg ikke har paabudt, og hvad aldrig var i min Tanke.
And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
32 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da man ikke mere skal sige Tofet og Hinnoms Søns Dal, men Morddalen, og man skal jorde de døde i Tofet, fordi Pladsen ikke slaar til.
Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, 'The Tophet,' And 'Valley of the son of Hinnom,' But 'Valley of the slaughter,' And they have buried in Tophet — without place.
33 Og dette Folks Lig skal blive Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr til Æde, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.
And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
34 Og i Judas Byer og paa Jerusalems Gader gør jeg Ende paa Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, thi Landet skal lægges øde.
And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
