< Jeremias 30 >

1 Det ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren.
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Skriv alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig, op i en Bog.
“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you 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,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 Dette er de Ord, HERREN talede til Israel og Juda.
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 Så siger HERREN: Vi hørte et Udbrud af Skræk, af Rædsel og Ufred;
For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of 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 now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?
7 Thi stor er denne Dag, den er uden Lige, en Trængselstid for Jakob, men fra den skal han frelses.
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of 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.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
9 De skal tjene HERREN deres Gud og David, deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.
but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to 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 don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Don’t be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will 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 am with you, says the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
12 Thi så siger HERREN: Ulægeligt er dit Brud, dit Sår er svart.
For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
13 Ingen fører din Sag. For din Byld er ingen Lægedom, for dig ingen Helse.
There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
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 your lovers have forgotten you. They don’t seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your 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 do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
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.
Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.
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 health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
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.
The LORD says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
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.
Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
20 Hans Sønner skal blive som fordum, hans Menighed stå fast for mit Åsyn. Jeg hjemsøger alle, som trykker ham.
Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who 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.
Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from among them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
22 I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
“You 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, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
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 the LORD will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
