Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is recorded with a pen of iron, and with the sharp point of a jewel it is cut on their hearts of stone, and on the horns of their altars for a sign to them:
Optegnet er Judas Synd med med griffel af jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og på deres Altres Horn,
2 Their altars and their wood pillars under every branching tree, on the high hills and the mountains in the field.
når Sønnerne kommner deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, på alle grønne Træer, på de høje Steder,
3 I will give your wealth and all your stores to be taken away in war without a price, because of your sins in every part of your land.
på Bjergene på Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, så langt dine Grænser når.
4 And your hand will have to let go your heritage which I gave you; and I will make you a servant to your haters in a land which is strange to you: for you have put my wrath on fire with a flame which will go on burning for ever.
Din Hånd må 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 has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.
Så siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler på Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6 For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og får ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler på HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.
Han bliver somn et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand, og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, når Heden komnmer, hvis Løv er frodig grønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens År eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
9 The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.
Som en Agerhømme på Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han må slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slår ved sin Død som en Dåre.
12 A seat of glory, placed on high from the first, is our holy place.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who give you up will be put to shame; those who go away from you will be cut off from the earth, because they have given up the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
HERRE, du Israels Håb, enhver, der forlader dig, får Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, er Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
14 Make me well, O Lord, and I will be well; be my saviour, and I will be safe: for you are my hope.
Læg mig, HERRE, så jeg læges, frels du mig, så jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 See, they say 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 konmme!"
16 As for me, I have not said; Let the day of trouble come to them quickly; and I have not been hoping for the death-giving day; you have knowledge of what came from my lips; it was open before you.
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 Åsyn.
17 Be not a cause of fear to me: you are my safe place in the day of evil.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt på Ullykkens Dag.
18 Let them be put to shame who are attacking me, but let me not be shamed; let them be overcome with fear, but let me not be overcome: send on them the day of evil, and put them to destruction twice over.
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 has said to me: Go and take your place in the doorway of Benjamin, where the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the doorways of Jerusalem;
Således sagde HERREN til mig: Gå hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger går ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalemns Porte
20 And say to them, Give ear to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all the people of Jerusalem who come in by these doors:
og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som går ind ad disse Porte!
21 This is what the Lord has said: See to yourselves, that you take up no weight on the Sabbath day, or take it in through the doors of Jerusalem;
Så siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen!
22 And take no weight out of your houses on the Sabbath day, or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I gave orders to your fathers;
Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse på Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbalsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23 But they gave no attention and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff so that they might not give ear and might not get teaching.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 And it will be, that if with all care you give ear to me, says the Lord, and take no weight through the doorways of this town on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work in it;
Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, så I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte på Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde på den,
25 Then through the doors of this town there will come kings and princes, seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, they and their princes, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem: and this town will keep its place for ever.
så skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder på 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 stå til evig Tid.
26 And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, 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 give ear to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and to let no weight be lifted and taken through the doors of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: then I will put a fire in its doorways, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem, and it will never be put out.
Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen, så sætter jeg Ild på dets Porle, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
