Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus, engraved with a diamond point on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars.
Optegnet er Judas Synd med Griffel af Jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og paa deres Altres Horn,
2 Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles by the green trees and on 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 countryside, I will give over your wealth and all your treasures as plunder, because of the sin of your high places, within all your 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 you yourself will relinquish the inheritance that I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have kindled My anger; it will 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 This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.
Saa siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler paa Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6 He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og faar ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler paa HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce 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 beyond cure. Who can understand it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the 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, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water.
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 LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.
Læg mig, HERRE, saa jeg læges, frels du mig, saa jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!”
Se, de andre siger til mig: »Hvor er HERRENS Ord? Lad det komme!«
16 But I have not run away from being Your shepherd; I have not desired the day of despair. You know that the utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.
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 Do not become a terror to me; You are my refuge in the day of disaster.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt paa Ulykkens Dag.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame. Let them be terrified, but do not let me be terrified. Bring upon them the day of disaster and shatter 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 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and stand at the gate of the people, through which the kings of Judah go in and out; and stand at all the other 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 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, all people of Judah and Jerusalem who enter through 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 This is what the LORD says: Take heed for yourselves; do not carry a load or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
Saa siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen!
22 You must not carry a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath day, but you must keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your forefathers.
Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse paa Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbatsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23 Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 If, however, you listen carefully to Me, says the LORD, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and keep the Sabbath day holy, and do no work on 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 kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with their officials, along with the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited 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 people will come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, and from the foothills, the hill country, and the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
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 you do not listen to Me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire in its gates to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.’”
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.
