Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah, saying:
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren:
2 “Listen to the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Hør denne Pagts Ord og tal til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems. Borgere
3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed is the man who will not listen to the words of this covenant,
og sig: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Forbandet være den, der ikke hører denne Pagts Ord,
4 which I commanded to your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, away from the iron furnace, saying: Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you, and then you will be my people and I will be your God.
som jeg bød eders Fædre holde, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, af Jernovnen, idet jeg sagde: "Hør min Røst og gør alt, hvad jeg pålægger eder, så skal I være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud
5 So shall I uphold the oath which I swore to your fathers, that I would give them a land flowing with milk and honey, just as it is this day.” And I answered by saying: “Amen, O Lord.”
og holde den Ed, jeg tilsvor eders Fædre om at give dem et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, som det nu er sket!" Og jeg svarede: "Amen, HERRE!"
6 And the Lord said to me: “Shout all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Listen to the words of the covenant, and do them.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Udråb alle disse Ord i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader: Hør denne Pagts Ord og hold dem!
7 For when testing, I tested your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, even until this day. Rising early, I tested them, and I said: Listen to my voice.
Thi jeg besvor eders Fædre, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, ja til den Dag i Dag, årle og silde: "Hør min Røst!"
8 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, each one of them walked in the depravity of his own evil heart. And so, I brought over them all the words of this covenant, which I instructed them to do. But they would not do them.”
Men de hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men fulgte alle deres onde Hjertes Stivsind. Derfor bragte jeg over dem alle denne Pagts Ord, som jeg havde pålagt dem at holde, men som de ikke holdt.
9 And the Lord said to me: “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Der er fundet en Sammensværgelse blandt Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere;
10 They have returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to listen to my words. And likewise, they have gone after strange gods, so that they may serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have treated as void my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
de er vendt tilbage til deres Forfædres Misgerninger, de, som vægrede sig ved at høre mine Ord og holdt sig til fremmede Guder og dyrkede dem; Israels Hus og Judas Hus har brudt den Pagt, jeg sluttede med deres Fædre.
11 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over them, from which they will not be able to escape. And they will cry out to me, and I will not heed them.
Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg sender en Ulykke over dem, som de ikke kan slippe fra; og når de da råber til mig, vil jeg ikke høre dem.
12 And the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go forth, and they will cry out to the gods, to whom they offer libations, and they will not save them in the time of their affliction.
Da skal Judas Byer og Jerusalems Borgere gå hen og råbe til de Guder, de tænder Offerild for; men de kan ikke frelse dem i Nødens Stund.
13 For according to the number of your cities, so were your gods, O Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem, so did you establish altars of confusion, altars to offer libations to Baal.
Thi mange som dine Byer er dine Guder, Juda, og mange som Gaderne i Jerusalem er Altrene, I har rejst for Skændselen, Altrene til af tænde Offerild for Baal.
14 Therefore, you should not choose to pray for this people, and you should not take up praise and petitioning on their behalf. For I will not heed them in the time of their outcry to me, in the time of their affliction.
Men du må ikke gå i Forbøn for dette Folk eller frembære Klage og Bøn for det; thi jeg hører ikke, når de råber til mig i Nødens Stund.
15 Why has my beloved wrought great wickedness in my house? How can the holy flesh take away from you your wickedness, in which you have gloried?
Hvad vil min elskede i mit Hus, hun, som øved Svig? Kan Fedt og helligt kød borttage din Ondskab, eller kan du reddes ved sligt?
16 The Lord has called your name: a beautiful, fruitful, splendid, and productive olive tree. At the voice of a word, a great fire was kindled in it, and its greenery was burned up.
Et grønt Oliventræ, skønt at skue, så kaldte HERREN dit Navn. Under voldsom Buldren og Bragen afsved Ilden dets Løv og brændte dets Grene.
17 And the Lord of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced an evil against you, concerning the evils of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves so as to provoke me, by offering libations to Baal.”
Hærskarers HERRE, som plantede dig, truer dig med Ulykke til Straf for det onde, Israels Hus og Judas Hus gjorde for at krænke mig, idet de tændte Offerild for Baal.
18 But you, O Lord, have revealed this to me, and I have understood. Then you displayed their efforts to me.
HERREN lod mig det vide, derfor ved jeg det; da lod du mig se deres Gerninger.
19 And I was like a meek lamb, who is being carried to be a victim. And I did not realize that they had devised plans against me, saying: “Let us place wood upon his bread, and let us eradicate him from the land of the living, and let his name no longer be remembered.”
Og jeg var som et tålsomt Lam, der føres til Slagtning. Jeg vidste ej af, at de tænkte på Rænker imod mig: "Lad os ødelægge Træet i Blomst, udrydde ham af de levendes Land, så hans Navn ej ihukommes mer."
20 But you, O Lord of hosts, who judges justly, and who tests the temperament and the heart, let me see your vengeance against them. For I have revealed my case to you.
Hærskarers HERRE, retfærdige Dommer, som prøver Nyrer og Hjerte, lad mig skue din Hævn på dem, thi på dig har jeg væltet min Sag.
21 “Because of this, thus says the Lord to the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, and who are saying: ‘You shall not prophesy in the name of the Lord, and you shall not die by our hands.’
Derfor, så siger HERREN om Mændene i Anatot, som står mig efter Livet og siger: "Du må ikke profetere i HERRENs Navn; ellers skal du dø for vor Hånd"
22 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will visit upon them. Their young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, jeg, vil hjemsøge dem; deres unge Mænd skal dø for Sværd, deres Sønner og Døtre af Hunger;
23 And there will be nothing left of them. For I will lead an evil over the men of Anathoth: the year of their visitation.”
der skal ikke levnes dem nogen Rest, thi jeg sender Ulykke over Mændene i Anatot, når Året, de skal hjemsøges kommer.
