Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars,
Optegnet er Judas Synd med Griffel af Jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og paa deres Altres Horn,
2 while their sons remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
naar Sønnerne kommer deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, paa alle grønne Træer, paa de høje Steder,
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
paa Bjergene paa Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, saa langt dine Grænser naar.
4 And thou, even of thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee, and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou know not. For ye have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
Din Haand maa slippe din Arvelod, den, jeg gav dig. Jeg lader dig trælle for Fjender i et ukendt Land, thi Ild luer op i min Vrede, den brænder evigt.
5 Thus says Jehovah: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Jehovah.
Saa siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler paa Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og faar ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler paa HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green, and shall not be worried in the year of drought, nor shall cease from yielding fruit.
Han bliver som et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, naar Heden kommer, hvis Løv er frodiggrønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens Aar eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I, Jehovah, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
Som en Agerhøne paa Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han maa slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slaar ved sin Død som en Daare.
12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all who forsake thee shall be put to shame. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
HERRE, du Israels Haab, enhver, der forlader dig, faar Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed. Save me, and I shall be saved, for thou are my praise.
Læg mig, HERRE, saa jeg læges, frels du mig, saa jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come now.
Se, de andre siger til mig: »Hvor er HERRENS Ord? Lad det komme!«
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee, nor have I desired the woeful day. Thou know. That which came out of my lips was before thy face.
Jeg vægred mig ej ved at være Hyrde i dit Spor, begæred ej heller Ulykkens Dag, du ved det; hvad der udgik fra mine Læber, er for dit Aasyn.
17 Be not a terror to me. Thou are my refuge in the day of evil.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt paa Ulykkens Dag.
18 Let them be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Lad Forfølgerne beskæmmes, lad ej mig beskæmmes, lad dem forfærdes, lad ej mig forfærdes; send over dem Ulykkens Dag, knus dem og gentag Slaget!
19 Thus Jehovah said to me, Go, and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gaa hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger gaar ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalems Porte
20 And say to them, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in by these gates.
og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som gaar ind ad disse Porte!
21 Thus says Jehovah: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Saa siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen!
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, nor do ye any work. But hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse paa Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbatsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, says Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work in it,
Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, saa I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde paa den,
25 then there shall enter in by the gates of this city kings and rulers sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall remain forever.
saa skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder paa Davids Trone, drage ind ad denne Bys Porte med Vogne og Heste, de og deres Fyrster, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere, og denne By skal staa til evig Tid.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing things of thanksgiving, to the house of Jehovah.
Og fra Judas Byer, fra Jerusalems Omegn, fra Benjamins Land, fra Lavlandet, Bjergene og Sydlandet skal man komme og bringe Brændoffer, Slagtoffer, Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse og Takoffer til HERRENS Hus.
27 But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in the gates of it, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, saa sætter jeg Ild paa dets Porte, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
