Jeremias 30

1 Det ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren.

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: —

2 Skriv alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig, op i en Bog.

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Write thee all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.

3 Thi se Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg vender mit Folk Israels og Judas Skæbne, siger HERREN, og fører dem hjem til det Land, jeg gav deres Fædre, og de skal tage det i Eje.

For behold the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will bring back the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 Dette er de Ord, HERREN talede til Israel og Juda.

And these are the words which Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 Så siger HERREN: Vi hørte et Udbrud af Skræk, af Rædsel og Ufred;

Behold, thus saith Jehovah: The voice of trembling do we hear; There is alarm, and no peace.

6 spørg og se dog til, om en Mand kan føde! Hvi ser jeg da alle Mænd med Hånd på Hofte som Kvinde i Barnsnød og alle Åsyn blegne?

Ask ye now and see, Whether a male doth bring forth? Why then do I see every man's hands upon his loins, like a woman in travail? And why are all faces turned into paleness?

7 Thi stor er denne Dag, den er uden Lige, en Trængselstid for Jakob, men fra den skal han frelses.

Alas! that day is great, So that there is none like it; It is a time of trouble for Jacob, Yet shall he be saved from it.

8 På hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, vil jeg sønderbryde deres Åg og tage det af deres Hals og sprænge deres Bånd, og de skal ikke mere trælle for fremmede.

For in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from his neck, And his bands will I burst asunder, And he shall be subject to strangers no more.

9 De skal tjene HERREN deres Gud og David, deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.

But they shall serve Jehovah, their God, And David, their king, whom I will raise up for them.

10 Frygt derfor ikke, min Tjener Jakob, lyder det fra HERREN, og vær ikke bange, Israel; thi se, jeg frelser dig fra det fjerne og dit Afkom fra deres Fangenskabs Land; og Jakob skal vende hjem og bo roligt og trygt, og ingen skal forfærde ham.

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah, And be not thou dismayed, O Israel! For, behold, I will bring thee safe from afar, And thy posterity from the land of their captivity; And Jacob shall return, and be at rest; Yea, he shall be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

11 Thi jeg er med dig, lyder det fra HERREN, for at frelse dig; thi jeg vil tilintetgøre alle de Folk, blandt hvilke jeg har spredt dig, men dig vil jeg ikke tilintetgøre; jeg vil tugte dig med Måde, ikke lade dig helt ustraffet.

For I will be with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee; When I shall make a full end of all the nations Whither I have dispersed thee, Yet will I not make a full end of thee; I will correct thee in measure, Yet must I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

12 Thi så siger HERREN: Ulægeligt er dit Brud, dit Sår er svart.

For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable; Thy wound is mortal.

13 Ingen fører din Sag. For din Byld er ingen Lægedom, for dig ingen Helse.

No one offereth his help for thy cure; No healing medicines are applied to thee.

14 Alle dine Venner har glemt dig, søger dig ikke, thi med Fjendeslag slog jeg dig, med skånselløs Straf, fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange.

All thy lovers have forgotten thee; They inquire not after thee. For with the wound of an enemy have I smitten thee, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased.

15 Hvi skriger du over dit Brud, er dit Sår ulægeligt? Fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange, gjorde jeg dette imod dig.

Why criest thou because of thy bruise? Thy pain is without remedy. For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased, Have I done these things to thee.

16 Derfor skal alle, som fortærer dig, fortæres, alle dine Fjender, alle skal de vandre i Fangenskab; de, der plyndrer dig, skal plyndres, til Ran gør jeg alle dine Ransmænd.

Yet all they that devour thee shall be devoured, And all thine enemies, yea, all of them, shall go into captivity, And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, And all that plunder thee will I give up to plunder.

17 Thi jeg heler dig, læger dine Sår, så lyder det fra HERREN; du kaldtes jo, Zion, "den bortstødte, som ingen søger."

For I will restore soundness to thee, And I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; For they have called thee the outcast, Zion, whom no man careth for.

18 Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg vender Jakobs Skæbne, forbarmer mig over hans Boliger, Byen skal bygges på sin Høj, Paladset stå, bvor det stod.

Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring back the captives of the tents of Jacob, And I will have pity upon his dwelling-places, And the city shall be builded upon her heap, And the palace shall be inhabited as of old.

19 Fra dem skal Lovsang lyde og legendes Råb; de bliver ej færre, jeg gør dem mange; de bliver ej ringe, jeg giver dem Hæder.

And out of them shall go forth thanksgiving, And the voice of them that make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few, And I will exalt them, and they shall not be low.

20 Hans Sønner skal blive som fordum, hans Menighed stå fast for mit Åsyn. Jeg hjemsøger alle, som trykker ham.

And their children shall be as aforetime, And their congregation shall be established before me, And I will punish all that oppress them.

21 Hans Fyrste stammer fra ham selv, hans Hersker går frem af hans Midte. Jeg lader ham komme mig nær, han skal nærme sig mig; thi hvem ellers sætter Livet i Vov ved at nærme sig mig? lyder det fra HERREN.

And their princes shall be of themselves, And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause them to approach, and they shall come near to me; For who is he that would dare to come near to me? saith Jehovah.

22 I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.

And ye shall be my people, And I will be your God.

23 Se, HERRENs Stormvejr, Vreden er brudt løs, et hvirvlende Stormvejr; det hvirvler hen over de gudløses Hoved.

Behold, a whirlwind from Jehovah, Furious doth it go forth, Even a sweeping whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.

24 HERRENs glødende Vrede lægger sig ikke, før han har udført og fuldbyrdet sit Hjertes Tanker; i de sidste dage skal I forstå det.

The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not turn back Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished, the purpose of his heart; In a future day ye shall understand it fully.
