Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron and a point of diamond. It has been engraved upon the breadth of their heart and upon the horns of their shrines.
Optegnet er Judas Synd med med griffel af jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og på deres Altres Horn,
2 And their sons make a remembrance of their shrines, and their sacred groves, and their leafy trees on high mountains,
når Sønnerne kommner deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, på alle grønne Træer, på de høje Steder,
3 by sacrificing in the field. And so, I will give over your strength and all your treasures to be despoiled, along with your exalted places of sin, within all your borders.
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 you will be left behind without your inheritance, which I gave to you. And I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land that you do not know. For you have kindled a fire in my fury; it shall burn, even unto eternity.”
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 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws 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 a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og får ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence.
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler på HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear 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 depraved above all things, and it is unsearchable, who can know it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I am the Lord, who examines the heart and tests the temperament, who gives to each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his own decisions.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 A partridge has hatched eggs that she did not lay; a man has gathered riches, but without judgment. In the midst of his days, he will leave it all behind, and he will be foolish concerning his very end.”
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 high and glorious throne is the place of our sanctification from the beginning.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 O Lord, Hope of Israel: all who forsake you will be confounded. Those who withdraw from you will be written into the earth. For they have abandoned the Lord, the Source 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 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.
Læg mig, HERRE, så jeg læges, frels du mig, så jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 Behold, they themselves are saying to me: ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.’
Se, de andre siger til mig: "Hvor er HERRENs Ord? Lad det konmme!"
16 But I am not troubled; I am following you as my shepherd. And I have not desired the day of man, as you know. That which has gone forth from my lips has been right in your sight.
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 May you not be a dread to me. You are my hope in the day of affliction.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt på Ullykkens Dag.
18 May those who persecute me be confounded, but may I not be confounded. May they be fearful, and may I not be fearful. Lead over them the day of affliction, and crush them with a 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 Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and stand at the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter and depart, and at all the gates 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 you shall say to them: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter through these gates.”
og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som går ind ad disse Porte!
21 Thus says the Lord: “Guard your souls, and do not choose to carry heavy things on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you carry these things through the gates of Jerusalem.
Så siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen!
22 And do not be willing to cast burdens out of your houses on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you do any work. Sanctify the day of the Sabbath, just as I instructed 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 did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they hardened their neck, lest they listen to me and receive discipline.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 And this shall be: If you listen to me, says the Lord, so that you do not carry in burdens through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, and if you sanctify the day of the Sabbath, so that you do not do 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 there will enter through the gates of this city: kings and princes, sitting on the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited forever.
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 arrive from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountainous regions, and from the south, carrying holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense. And they will carry an oblation into 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 will not listen to me, to sanctify the day of the Sabbath, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring these things through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire at its gates, and it will devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it will not be extinguished.”
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.
