< Jeremiah 32 >
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Det Ord, som kom til Jeramias fra Herren i kong Zedekias af Judas tiende År, det er Nebukadrezars attende.
2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the king of Judah.
Dengang belejrede Babels Konges Hær Jerusalem, og Profeten Jeremas sad fængslet i Vagtforgården i Judas Konges Palads,
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
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;
4 Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
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;
5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’”
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!"
6 Jeremiah replied, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Og Jeremias sagde: HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
7 Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’
Se, Hanamel, din Farbroder Sjallums Søn, kommer til dig og siger: "Køb min Mark i Anatot, thi du har Indløsningsret."
8 Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
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.
9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver.
Og jeg købte Marken i Anatot af Hanamel, min Farbroders Søn, og tilvejede ham Pengene, sytten Sekel Sølv;
10 I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
og jeg skrev Skøde og forseglede det, tilkaldte Vidner og afvejede Pengene på Vægtskål.
11 Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—
Så tog jeg Skødet, både det forseglede og det åbne,
12 and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
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;
13 In their sight I instructed Baruch,
og i deres Nærværelse bød jeg Baruk:
14 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
"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.
15 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”
Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: End skal der købes Huse, Marker og Vingårde i dette Land!"
16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:
Efter at have overgivet Skødet til Baruk, Nerijas Søn, bad jeg således til HERREN:
17 “Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
Ak, Herre, HERRE, du har jo skabt Himmelen og Jorden ved din vældige Styrke og din udstrakte Arm, intet er dig for underfuldt,
18 You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,
du, som øver Miskundhed mod Tusinder og gengælder Fædres Misgerning på deres Sønner efter dem; du store, vældige Gud, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE,
19 the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
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;
20 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and You do so to this very day, both in Israel and among all mankind. And You have made a name for Yourself, as is the case to this day.
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,
21 You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
du, som førte dit Folk Israel ud af Ægypten med Tegn og Undere, med stærk Hånd og udstrakt Arm og stor Rædsel
22 You gave them this land that You had sworn to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
og gav dem dette Land, som du havde svoret deres Fædre at ville give dem, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning;
23 They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.
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.
24 See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!
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.
25 Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”
Og skønt Byen er givet i Kaldæernes Hånd, siger du til mig, Herre, HERRE: "Køb dig Marken for Penge og tag Vidner derpå!"
26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Da kom HERRENs Ord til Jeremias således:
27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
Se, jeg er HERREN, alt Køds Gud; skulde noget være mig for underfuldt?
28 Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it.
Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg giver denne By i kaldæernes og Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels Hånd, og han skal idtage den;
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.
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.
30 For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.
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.
31 For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence
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
32 because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.
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.
33 They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
De vendte Ryggen og ikke Ansigtet til mig, og skønt jeg advarede dem årle og silde, vilde de ikke høre eller tage ved Lære.
34 They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
De opstillede deres væmmelige Guder i det Hus, mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;
35 They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.
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.
36 Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
Men nu, så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne By, som I siger er givet i Babels Konges Hånd med Sværd, Hunger og Pest:
37 I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.
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.
38 They will be My people, and I will be their God.
De skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud;
39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.
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.
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.
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.
41 Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
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.
42 For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.
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.
43 And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’
End skal der købes Marker i det Land, som I siger er en Ørken uden Mennesker og Kvæg og givet i Kaldæernes Hånd;
44 Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”
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.
