Jeremias 33
1 Herrens ord kom anden gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, således:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 Så siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
Thus saith the LORD that doeth it, the LORD that formeth it to establish it; the LORD is his name:
3 Kald på mig, så vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will shew thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.
4 Thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne Bys Huse og om Judas Kongers Huse, som nedbrødes for at bruges til Volde og Mur,
For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down [to make a defence] against the mounts, and against the sword:
5 da man gav sig til at stride imod Kaldæerne, og som fyldtes med Ligene af de Mennesker, jeg slog i min Vrede og Harme, og for hvem jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for al deres Ondskabs Skyld:
they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Se, jeg vil lade Byens Sår heles og læges, og jeg helbreder dem og oplader for dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth.
7 Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 Jeg renser dem for al deres Brøde, med hvilken de syndede imod mig, og tilgiver alle deres Misgerninger, med hvilke de syndede og forbrød sig imod mig.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 Byen skal blive til Glæde, til Pris og Ære blandt alle Jordens Folk; og når de hører om alt det gode, jeg gør den, skal de frygte og bæve over alt det gode og al den Lykke, jeg lader den times.
And [this city] shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it.
10 Så siger HERREN: På dette Sted, som I siger er ødelagt, uden Mennesker og Kvæg, i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader, der er lagt øde, uden Mennesker og kvæg,
Thus saith the LORD: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast,
11 skal atter høres Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Råb af Folk, som siger: "Tak Hærskarers HERRE; thi HERREN er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" og som bringer Takoffer til HERRENs Hus; thi jeg vender Landets Skæbne, så det bliver som tilforn, siger HERREN.
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and of them] that bring [sacrifices] of thanksgiving into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith the LORD.
12 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: På dette ødelagte Sted, som er uden Mennesker og Kvæg, og i alle dets Byer skal der atter være Græsgange, hvor Hyrder lader deres Hjorde ligge;
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer, i Benjamins land, i Jerusalems Omegn og i Judas Byer skal Småkvæget atter gå forbi under Tællerens Hånd, siger HERREN.
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.
14 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg opfylder den Forjættelse, jeg udtalte om Israels og Judas Hus.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15 I hine Dage og til hin Tid lader jeg en Retfærds Spire fremspire for David, og han skal øve Ret og Retfærd i Landet.
In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 I hine Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo trygt, og man skal kalde det: HERREN vor Retfærdighed.
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is [the name] whereby she shall be called, The LORD is our righteousness.
17 Thi så siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde på Israels Huss Trone.
For thus saith the LORD: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Og Levitpræsterne skal aldrig fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn og frembære Brændoffer, brænde Afgrødeoffer og ofre Slagtoffer.
neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Så siger HERREN Hvis min Pagt med Dagen og Natten brydes, så det ikke bliver Dag og Nat, når Tid er inde,
Thus saith the LORD: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 da skal også min Pagt med min Tjener David brydes, så han ikke har nogen Søn til at sidde som Konge på sin Trone, og med Levitpræsterne, som tjener mig.
then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 Som Himmelens Hær ikke kan tælles og Havets Sand ikke måles, således vil jeg mangfoldiggøre min Tjener Davids Afkom og Leviterne, som tjener mig.
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Har du ikke lagt Mærke til, hvorledes dette Folk siger: "De to Slægter, HERREN udvalgte, har han forkastet!" Og de smæder mit Folk, fordi det i deres Øjne ikke 1ner er et Folk.
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Så siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
Thus saith the LORD: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 så vil jeg også forkaste Jakobs Afkom og min Tjener David og ikke af hans Afkom tage Herskere oer Abrabams, Isaks og Jakobs Afkom; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne og forbarmer mig over dem.
then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
