Jeremias 48
1 Om Moab. Så siger Hærskares Herre, Israels Gud. Ve over Nebo, thi det er lagt øde, blevet til Skamme; indtaget er Kirjatajim, med Skam er Borgen brudt ned.
Of Moab. "Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.
2 Der er ingen Lægedom mer for Moab, intet Fryderåb i Hesjbon; de oplægger onde Råd imod det: "Kom, lad os udrydde det af Folkenes Tal!" Også du, Madmen, skal omkomme, Sværdet skal forfølge dig.
The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
3 Hør Skriget fra Horonajim, frygteligt Brag og Sammenbrud!
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
4 Moab er brudt sammen; lad Skriget lyde til Zoar.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Ak, grædende stiger de op ad Luhits Skråning; ak, på Vejen til Horonajim hører de Jammerskrig.
For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Fly, red eders Liv, og I skal blive som en Enebærbusk i Ørkenen.
"Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."
7 Ja, fordi du stolede på dine Borge og Skatte, skal også du fanges. Kemosj skal vandre i Landflygtighed, hans, Præster og Fyrster til Hobe.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
8 Hærværksmænd skal komme over hver By, ingen By skal reddes; Dalen skal ødelægges og Højsletten hærges, som HERREN har sagt.
The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Jehovah has spoken.
9 Giv Moab Vinger, at det kan flyve bort; dets Byer skal blive en Ørken, så ingen bor der.
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'
10 Forbandet være den, der er lad til at gøre HERRENs Værk, forbandet den, som holder sit Sværd fra Blod.
Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 Moab var tryg fra sin Ungdom, lå roligt på sin Bærme; det hældtes ikke fra Fad til Fad og vandrede ikke i Landflygtighed; derfor holdt det sin Smag, og dets Duft tabte sig ikke.
'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg sender Vintappere, som skal tappe det og tømme dets Fade og knuse dets Dunke.
Therefore look, the days come,' says Jehovah, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
13 Da skal Moab få Skam af Kemosj, som Israels Hus havde Skam af Betel, som de stolede på.
Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 Hvor kan I sige: "Helte er vi og djærve Folk til Krig?"
How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
15 Moab skal hærges med sine Byer og dets ypperste Ynglinge stige ned til at slagtes, lyder det fra Kongen, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE.
Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
16 Moabs Undergang er nær, dets Ulykke kommer såre hastigt.
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 Ynk det, alle dets Naboer og alle, som kender dets Navn; sig: Hvor knækkedes dog den stærke Stav, det herlige Spir!
All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod."
18 Stig ned fra Æressædet, sæt dig i Skarnet, du, som bor der, Dibons Datter! Thi han, der hærger Moab, drager op imod dig, nedbryder dine Fæstninger.
You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
19 Stå hen på Vejen og se dig om, du, som bor i Aroer, spørg Flygtningene og de undslupne Kvinder, sig: "Hvad er der sket?"
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"
20 Moab er blevet til Skamme, ja knust. Jamrer og skrig, meld ved Arnon, at Moab er hærget,
"Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
21 at Dommen er kommet over Højslettelandet, over Holon, Jaza, Mefaat,
Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblatajim,
and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kirjatajim, Bet-Gamul, Bet Meon,
and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
24 Kerijot, Bozra og alle Byer i Moabs Land fjernt og nær.
and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Afhugget er Moabs Horn, og dets Arm er brudt, lyder det fra HERREN.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says Jehovah.
26 Gør det drukkent! Thi det hovmodede sig mod HERREN; og Moab skal falde omkuld i sit eget Spy, også det skal blive til Latter.
'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against Jehovah: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 Var ikke Israel til Latter for dig? Blev det måske grebet blandt Tyve, siden du bliver så ivrig, hver Gang du taler derom?
For wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 Kom fra Byerne og fæst Bo på Klippen, Moabs Indbyggere, vær som Duen, der bygger Rede hist ved Afgrundens Rand.
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 Vi har hørt om Moabs Hovmod, det såre store, dets Stolthed. Overmod og Hovmod, dets opblæste Hjerte.
We have heard of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 Jeg kender, lyder det fra HERREN, dets Frækhed, dets tomme Snak, dets tomme Gerninger.
I know his wrath,' says Jehovah, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
31 Derfor må jeg jamre over Moab, skrige over hele Moab, over Mændene i Kir-Heres må jeg sukke.
therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 Jazers Gråd græder jeg over dig, Sibmas Vinstok; dine Skud overskred Havet, nåede til Jazer; på din Frugt og din Høst slog Hærværksmanden ned.
With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
33 Glæde og Jubel er svundet fra Frugthaven og Moabs Land. Jeg lader Vinen svinde fra Persekarrene, ingen træder Vin.
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
34 Hesjbon og Elale skriger, det høres til Jahaz; Horonajim og Eglat-Sjelisjija skriger; ak, Nimrims Vande bliver Ødemarker.
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
35 Jeg udrydder af Moab den, der stiger op på Offerhøjen og tænder Offerild for dets Guder, lyder det fra HERREN.
And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says Jehovah, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
36 Derfor klager mit Hjerte som Fløjter over Moab, og mit Hjerte klager som Fløjter over Kir-Heres's Mænd. Godset, de vandt, går derfor til Spilde.
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
37 Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, hvert Skæg revet af; i alle Hænder er der Rifter, over alle Lænder Sæk.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.
38 Alt er Klage på alle Moabs Tage og Torve; thi jeg sønderbryder Moab som et usselt Kar, lyder det fra HERREN.
On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says Jehovah.
39 Hvor er Moab forfærdet! Hvor vender det Ryg med Skam! Ja, Moab er blevet til Latter og Rædsel for alle sine Naboer.
How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.'
40 Thi så siger HERREN: Se, som en Ørn med udbredte Vinger svæver han over Moab.
For thus says Jehovah: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Kerijot er taget og Borgene faldet. Moabs Heltes Hjerte bliver på hin Dag som en nødstedt Kvindes Hjerte.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moab er ødelagt og ikke mer et Folk, fordi det hovmodede sig mod HERREN.
Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
43 Gru og Grav og Garn kommer over dig, du, som bor i Moab, lyder det fra HERREN;
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.
44 den, der flygter for Gru, falder i Grav, den, der når op af Grav, fanges i Garn. Thi jeg bringer over Moab deres Hjemsøgelses År, lyder det fra HERREN.
He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says Jehovah.
45 I Ly af Hesjbon står Flygtninge uden Kraft. Thi Ild farer ud fra Hesjbon, Ildsluefra Sihons Stad; den fortærer Moabs Tinding og de larmende Mænds isse.
'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.
46 Ve dig, Moab, det er ude med dig, Kemosjs Folk. Thi dine Sønner slæbes i Fangenskab, dine Døtre ligeså.
Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 Menjeg vender Moabs Skæbne i de sidste Dage, lyder det fra HERREN. Så vidt Moabs Dom.
Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
