Jeremiah 30
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren, saalydende:
2 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Put down in a book all the words which I have said to you.
Saa siger Herren, Israels Gud: Skriv dig alle de Ord, som jeg har talt til dig, i en Bog.
3 For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.
Thi se, de Dage komme, siger Herren, da vil jeg vende mit Folk Israels og Judas Fangenskab, siger Herren, og føre dem tilbage til det Land, som jeg har givet deres Fædre, at de skulle eje det.
4 And these are the words which the Lord said about Israel and about Judah.
Og disse ere Ordene, som Herren talte til Israel og Juda:
5 This is what the Lord has said: A voice of shaking fear has come to our ears, of fear and not of peace.
Thi saa siger Herren: Forfærdelses Røst have vi hørt; der er Skræk og ikke Fred.
6 Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?
Spørger dog og ser, om en Mand føder? hvorfor saa jeg hver Mand med sine Hænder paa sine Lænder som hun, der føder, og at alle Ansigter ere omskiftede til Bleghed?
7 Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.
Ve! thi stor er denne Dag, saa den er uden Lige; og det er en Trængsels Tid for Jakob; dog skal han blive frelst derfra.
8 For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant:
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, at jeg vil bryde hans Aag af din Hals og sønderrive dine Baand; og de fremmede skulle ikke ydermere bringe dem til at tjene sig.
9 But they will be servants to the Lord their God and to David their king, whom I will give back to them.
Men de skulle tjene Herren deres Gud og David deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.
10 So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.
Frygt da ikke, du min Tjener Jakob! siger Herren, og vær ikke forfærdet, Israel! thi se, jeg frier dig ud fra et langt fraliggende Land og din Sæd ud fra deres Fangenskabs Land; og Jakob skal komme tilbage og bo rolig og tryg, og ingen skal forfærde ham.
11 For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
Thi jeg er med dig, siger Herren, for at frelse dig, thi jeg vil lade det tage en Ende med alle de Folkeslag, iblandt hvilke jeg adspredte dig; kun med dig vil jeg ikke lade det tage Ende, men jeg vil tugte dig med Maade og ikke lade dig slippe aldeles fri.
12 For the Lord has said, Your disease may not be made well and your wound is bitter.
Thi saa siger Herren: Svart er dit Brud, ondartet dit Saar.
13 There is no help for your wound, there is nothing to make you well.
Ingen tager sig af din Sag til Helbredelse; der er ingen Lægedom, ingen Forbinding for dig.
14 Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;
Alle dine Elskere have glemt dig, de søge dig ikke; thi jeg har slaget dig, ligesom man slaar en Fjende, med en svar Tugtelse, fordi dine Misgerninger ere mangfoldige, fordi dine Synder ere talrige.
15 Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
Hvorfor raaber du over dit Brud, at din Pine er saa svar? fordi dine Misgerninger ere mangfoldige, fordi dine Synder ere talrige, har jeg gjort disse Ting ved dig.
16 For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.
Derfor skulle alle, som fortære dig, blive fortærede, og alle dine Modstandere skulle alle sammen gaa i Fangenskab; og de, som udplyndrede dig, skulle udplyndres, og alle dem, som berøvede dig, vil jeg give hen til Rov.
17 For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.
Thi jeg vil lade din Helbredelse tage til og læge dig for dine Saar, siger Herren; thi de kaldte dig den fordrevne, de sagde: Det er Zion, ingen spørger efter hende.
18 The Lord has said, See, I am changing the fate of the tents of Jacob, and I will have pity on his houses; the town will be put up on its hill, and the great houses will be living-places again.
Saa siger Herren: Se, jeg vil omvende Fangenskabet for Jakobs Telte og forbarme mig over hans Boliger; og Staden skal bygges paa sin Høj, og der skal blive Palads efter sin Vis.
19 And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small.
Og Taksigelse og de legendes Røst skal udgaa fra dem; thi jeg vil formere dem, og de skulle ikke formindskes, og jeg vil ære dem, og de skulle ikke blive ringe.
20 And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.
Og hans Sønner skulle vorde som fordum, og hans Menighed skal befæstes for mit Ansigt, og jeg vil hjemsøge alle dem, som fortrykke ham.
21 And their chief will be of their number; their ruler will come from among themselves; and I will let him be present before me, so that he may come near to me: for who may have strength of heart to come near me? says the Lord.
Og hans Fyrste skal nedstamme fra ham selv, og hans Hersker skal udgaa fra hans Midte, og ham vil jeg lade nærme sig, og han skal komme nær til mig; thi hvo er ellers den, som har sat sit Hjerte i Borgen for at komme nær til mig? siger Herren.
22 And you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Og I skulle være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
23 See, the storm-wind of the Lord, even the heat of his wrath, has gone out, a rolling storm, bursting on the heads of the evil-doers.
Se, en Herrens Storm, Fortørnelse, farer ud, og en hvirvlende Storm, den skal hvirvle over de ugudeliges Hoved.
24 The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.
Herrens brændende Vrede skal ikke vende om, førend han har udført, og førend han har fuldkommet sit Hjertes Tanker; i de sidste Dage skulle I faa Forstand derpaa.
