Jeremias 32

1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren i kong Zedekias af Judas tiende År, det er Nebukadrezars attende.

The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah: that year was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

2 Dengang belejrede Babels Konges Hær Jerusalem, og Profeten Jeremas sad fængslet i Vagtforgården i Judas Konges Palads,

And the king of Babylon's army was then besieging Jerusalem; and the prophet Jeremiah was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.

3 hvor Kong Zedekias af Juda havde ladet ham fængsle med de Ord: "Hvor tør du profetere og sige: Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i Babels Konges Hånd, og han skal indtage den;

For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why dost thou prophesy and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

4 og Kong Zedekias af Juda skal ikke undslippe Kaldæernes Hånd, men overgives i Babels Konges Hånd, og han skal tale med ham Mund til Mund og se ham Øje i Øje;

and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans; for he shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

5 og han skal føre Zedekias til Babel, og der skal han blive, til jeg ser til ham, lyder det fra HERREN; når I kæmper med Kaldæerne, får I ikke Lykke!"

and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?

6 Og Jeremias sagde: HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

7 Se, Hanamel, din Farbroder Sjallums Søn, kommer til dig og siger: "Køb min Mark i Anatot, thi du har Indløsningsret."

Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, Buy for thyself my field which is in Anathoth; for thine is the right of redemption, to buy [it].

8 Så kom Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, til mig i Vagtforgården, som HERREN havde sagt, og sagde til mig: "Køb min Mark i Anatot i Benjamins Land, thi du har Arveretten, og indløsningsretten er din; køb dig den!" Da forstod jeg, at det var HERRENs Ord.

And Hanameel, mine uncle's son, came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine: buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.

9 Og jeg købte Marken i Anatot af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og tilvejede ham Pengene, sytten Sekel Sølv;

And I bought of Hanameel, mine uncle's son, the field which is in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.

10 og jeg skrev Skøde og forseglede det, tilkaldte Vidner og afvejede Pengene på Vægtskål.

And I subscribed the writing, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances.

11 Så tog jeg Skødet, både det forseglede og det åbne,

And I took the writing of the purchase, that which was sealed [according to] the law and the statutes, and that which was open;

12 og overgav Skødet til Baruk, Masejas Søn Nerijas Søn, i Nærværelse af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og Vidnerne, som havde underskrevet Skødet, og alle de Judæee, som var til Stede i Vagtforgården;

and I gave the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that had subscribed the writing of purchase, before all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the guard.

13 og i deres Nærværelse bød jeg Baruk:

And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,

14 "Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Tag disse Skøder, både det forseglede og det åbne, og læg dem i en Lerkrukke, for at de kan holde sig i lange Tider.

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this writing of the purchase, both that which is sealed and this writing which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.

15 Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: End skal der købes Huse, Marker og Vingårde i dette Land!"

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be purchased in this land.

16 Efter at have overgivet Skødet til Baruk, Nerijas Søn, bad jeg således til HERREN:

And after I had given the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, I prayed unto Jehovah saying,

17 Ak, Herre, HERRE, du har jo skabt Himmelen og Jorden ved din vældige Styrke og din udstrakte Arm, intet er dig for underfuldt,

Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and stretched-out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee:

18 du, som øver Miskundhed mod Tusinder og gengælder Fædres Misgerning på deres Sønner efter dem; du store, vældige Gud, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE,

who shewest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them, thou, the great, the mighty God, — Jehovah of hosts is his name;

19 rig på Råd og stor i Dåd, hvis Øjne er åbne over alle Menneskebørnenes Veje, for at du kan give enhver efter hans Vej og hans Gerningers Frugt;

great in counsel and mighty in work, whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

20 du, som gjorde Tegn og Undere i Ægypten og gør det den Dag i Dag både i Israel og blandt andre Mennesker og skabte dig det Navn, du har i Dag,

who hast displayed signs and wonders unto this day, in the land of Egypt and in Israel and among [other] men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day.

21 du, som førte dit Folk Israel ud af Ægypten med Tegn og Undere, med stærk Hånd og udstrakt Arm og stor Rædsel

And thou broughtest forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt by signs, and by wonders, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terror;

22 og gav dem dette Land, som du havde svoret deres Fædre at ville give dem, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning;

and didst give them this land, which thou hadst sworn unto their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

23 og de kom og tog det i Eje; men de hørte ikke din Røst og adlød ikke din Lov; de gjorde intet af, hvad du havde pålagt dem; så lod du al denne Ulykke ramme dem.

And they came in and possessed it: but they hearkened not unto thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do; so that thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them.

24 Se, Stormvoldene har nået Byen, så den er ved at blive indtaget, og med Sværd, Hunger og Pest er Byen givet i de angribende Kaldæeres Hånd; had du talede, er sket, og du ser det selv.

Behold the mounds, they are come unto the city for taking it; and the city is given over into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it].

25 Og skønt Byen er givet i Kaldæernes Hånd, siger du til mig, Herre, HERRE: "Køb dig Marken for Penge og tag Vidner derpå!"

And thou, Lord Jehovah, thou hast said unto me, Buy for thyself the field for money, and take witnesses; — and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Jeremias således:

And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

27 Se, jeg er HERREN, alt Køds Gud; skulde noget være mig for underfuldt?

Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

28 Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i kaldæernes og Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels Hånd, og han skal idtage den;

Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

29 og Kaldæerne, der angriber denne By, skal komme og sætte Ild på den og afbrænde Husene, på hvis Tage man tændte Offerild for Baal og udgød Drikofre for andre Guder for at krænke mig.

And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come in and set fire to this city, and shall burn it, and the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

30 Thi fra deres Ungdom af har Israeliterne og Judæerne kun gjort, hvad der var ondt i mine Øjne; thi Israeliterne gør ikke andet end krænke mig ved deres Hænders Værk, lyder det fra HERREN.

For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have been doing only evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.

31 Ja, en Kilde til Vrede og Harme har denne By været mig, lige fra den Dag de byggede den og til i Dag, så at jeg må fjerne den fra mit Åsyn

For this city hath been to me [a provocation] of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

32 for alt det ondes Skyld, som Israeliterne og Judæerne gjorde for at krænke mig, de deres Konger, Fyrster, Præster og Profefer, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere.

because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 De vendte Ryggen og ikke Ansigtet til mig, og skønt jeg advarede dem årle og silde, vilde de ikke høre eller tage ved Lære.

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, rising early and teaching, they hearkened not to receive instruction.

34 De opstillede deres væmmelige Guder i det Hus, mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;

And they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it;

35 og de byggede Baals Offerhøje i Hinnoms Søns Dal for at ofre deres Sønner og Døtre til Molok, hvad jeg ikke havde budt dem, og hvad aldrig var i min Tanke, at man skulde gøre så vederstyggelig en Ting for derved at lokke Juda til Synd.

and they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause to pass through [the fire] their sons and their daughters unto Molech: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

36 Men nu, så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne By, som I siger er givet i Babels Konges Hånd med Sværd, Hunger og Pest:

And now therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith thus concerning this city, whereof ye say, It hath been given over into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

37 Se, jeg vil samle dem fra alle de Lande, som jeg har bortstødt dem til i min Vrede og Harme og i stor Fortørnelse, og føre dem hjem til dette Sted og lade dem bo trygt.

Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries whither I have driven them, in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

38 De skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud;

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

39 og jeg vil give dem eet Hjerte og een Vej, så de frygter mig alle Dage, at det må gå dem og deres Sønner efter dem vel.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all [their] days, for the good of them, and of their children after them.

40 Jeg slutter en evig Pagt med dem, at jeg ikke vil drage mig tilbage fra dem, men gøre vel itnod dem; og min Frygt lægger jeg i deres Hjerter, så de ikke viger fra mig.

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not draw back from them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their heart, that they may not turn aside from me.

41 Jeg vil glæde mig over dem og gøre vel imod dem; og jeg planter dem i dette Land i Trofasthed af hele mit Hjerte og hele min Sjæl.

And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

42 Thi så siger HERREN: Som jeg bragte al denne store Ulykke over dette Folk, således vil jeg bringe over dem alt det gode, jeg taler til dem om.

For thus saith Jehovah: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have spoken concerning them.

43 End skal der købes Marker i det Land, som I siger er en Ørken uden Mennesker og Kvæg og givet i Kaldæernes Hånd;

And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

44 man skal købe Marker for Penge og skrive Skøder og forsegle dem og tilkalde Vidner i Benjamins Land, i Jerusalems Omegn, i Judas Byer, i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne, lyder det fra HERREN.

[Men] shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the writings, and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity, saith Jehovah.
