Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah. The same is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias om alt Judas Folk i Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde Aar, det er Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels første Aar,
2 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
og som Profeten Jeremias talte til alt Judas Folk og alle Jerusalems Borgere:
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even until this day, which is the twenty-third year, the word of the Lord has been given to me, and I have spoken to you, rising while it was still night, and speaking, and yet you have not listened.
Fra Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, trettende Aar til den Dag i Dag, i fulde tre og tyve Aar er HERRENS Ord kommet til mig, og jeg talte til eder aarle og silde, men I hørte ikke;
4 And the Lord has sent to you all his servants, the prophets, rising at first light, and sending, and yet you have not listened, and you have not inclined your ears, so that you would hear,
og HERREN sendte aarle og silde alle sine Tjenere Profeterne til eder, men I hørte ikke; I bøjede ikke eders Øre til at høre,
5 when he said: Return, each one from his evil way, and from your wicked thoughts. And you shall dwell in the land, which the Lord has given to you and to your fathers, from ancient times and even forever.
naar han sagde: »Omvend eder, hver fra sin onde Vej og sine onde Gerninger, at I fra Evighed til Evighed maa bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre;
6 And do not choose to go after strange gods, so that you would serve them and adore them. And do not provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands. And then I will not afflict you.
og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, saa I dyrker og tilbeder dem, og krænk mig ikke med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.«
7 And yet you have not listened to me, says the Lord, and so you have provoked me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own harm.”
Nej, I hørte mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN, og saa krænkede I mig med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.
8 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Since you have not listened to my words,
Derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Fordi I ikke vilde høre mine Ord,
9 behold, I will send for and take all the associates of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will lead them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all the nations that are around it. And I will destroy them, and I will set them in the midst of stupor and hissing, and continual desolations.
vil jeg sende Bud efter alle Nordens Stammer, lyder det fra HERREN, og til Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, min Tjener, og lade dem komme over dette Land og dets Indbyggere og over alle Folkene heromkring, og jeg vil ødelægge dem og gøre dem til Rædsel, Latter og Spot for evigt.
10 And I will perish from them the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstone and the light of the lamp.
Jeg fjerner fra dem Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Kværnens Lyd og Lampens Skin,
11 And this entire land will be in desolation and in stupor. And all these nations will serve the king of Babylon, for seventy years.
og hele dette Land skal blive til Ørk og Øde, og disse Folkeslag skal trælle for Babels Konge i halvfjerdsindstyve Aar.
12 And when the seventy years have been completed, I will visit their iniquity upon the king of Babylon, and upon that nation, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, says the Lord. And I will set it in continual desolations.
Men naar der er gaaet halvfjerdsindstyve Aar, hjemsøger jeg Babels Konge og Folket der for deres Misgerning, lyder det fra HERREN, ogsaa Kaldæernes Land hjemsøger jeg og gør det til evige Ørkener,
13 And I will lead over that land all my words, which I have spoken against it, all that has been written in this book, everything whatsoever that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
og jeg opfylder paa dette Land alle mine Ord, som jeg har talet imod det, alt, hvad der er skrevet i denne Bog, alt, hvad Jeremias har profeteret mod alle Folkene.
14 For they have served them, though these were populous nations and great kings. And I will repay them according to their works and according to the deeds of their hands.”
Thi ogsaa dem skal mange Folk og vældige Konger gøre til Trælle, og jeg gengælder dem deres Gerning og deres Hænders Værk.
15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take the chalice of the wine of this fury from my hand. And you shall cause all the nations, to which I will send you, to drink from it.
Thi saaledes sagde HERREN, Israels Gud, til mig: »Tag dette Bæger med min Vredes Vin af min Haand og giv alle de Folk, jeg sender dig til, at drikke deraf;
16 And they will drink, and be stirred up, and become maddened, before the face of the sword that I will send among them.”
de skal drikke og rave og rase for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt dem!«
17 And I received the chalice from the hand of the Lord, and I caused all the nations, to which the Lord has sent me, to drink from it:
Og jeg tog Bægeret af HERRENS Haand og gav alle de Folk, han sendte mig til, at drikke deraf:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its leaders, so that I gave them over to desolation, and stupor, and hissing, and a curse, just as it is this day.
Jerusalem og Judas Byer og dets Konger og Fyrster, for at gøre dem til Ørk og Øde, til Spot og til et Forbandelsens Tegn, som det er paa denne Dag;
19 “But as for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his leaders, and all his people,
Farao, Ægypterkongen, med alle hans Tjenere og Fyrster og alt hans Folk,
20 and the entire populace in general: all the kings of the land of the south, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
alt Blandingsfolket og alle Konger i Uz og Filisterland, Askalon, Gaza og Ekron og Asdods Rest;
21 and Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Edom, Moab og Ammoniterne;
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the land of the islands that are across the sea,
alle Tyrus's og Zidons Konger og den fjerne strands Konger hinsides Havet;
23 and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all those who have shaved off their hair,
Dedan, Tema og Buz og alle dem med rundklippet Haar;
24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, who live in the desert,
alle Arabernes Konger og alle Blandingsfolkets Konger, som bor i Ørkenen;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media,
alle Zimris Konger, alle Elams Konger og alle Mediens Konger;
26 and likewise, all the kings of the north from near to far, each one facing his brother, and all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sesac: all these shall drink after them.
alle Nordens Konger, nær og fjern, den ene efter den anden, alle Riger paa Jordens Overflade; og Kongen af Sjesjak skal drikke efter dem.
27 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be inebriated, and vomit, and fall down. And you shall not rise up before the face of the sword that I will send among you.
Og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Drik, bliv drukne og spy, fald og rejs eder ikke mere for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt eder!
28 And if they refuse to receive the cup from your hand and to drink, you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Certainly, you shall drink!
Og hvis de vægrer sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Haand og drikke, skal du sige til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Drikke skal I!
29 For behold, I am beginning to afflict the city in which my name has been invoked, and will you be innocent and immune? You will not be immune! For I will call the sword over all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts.
Thi se, med den By, mit Navn er nævnet over, begynder jeg at handle ilde, og saa skulde I gaa fri! Nej, I gaar ikke fri; thi jeg kalder Sværdet hid mod alle dem, som bor paa Jorden, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
30 And you shall prophesy to them all these words, and you shall say to them: The Lord will roar from on high, and he will utter his voice from his holy habitation. When roaring, he will roar over the place of his beauty. He will call out, like those who chant in rhythm as they trample the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Og du skal profetere alle disse Ord for dem og sige: HERREN brøler fra det høje, løfter sin Røst fra sin hellige Bolig; han brøler over sin Græsgang, istemmer Vinperserraabet over alle, som bor paa Jorden.
31 The sound of it will penetrate even to the ends of the earth. For the Lord is entering into judgment with the nations. He himself is entering into judgment with all flesh. I have delivered the impious to the sword, says the Lord.”
Drønet naar til Jordens Ende, thi HERREN gaar i Rette med Folkene; over alt Kød holder han Dom, de gudløse giver han til Sværdet, lyder det fra HERREN.
32 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, an affliction will go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind will go forth from the ends of the earth.
Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, Ulykken gaar fra det ene Folk til det andet, et vældigt Vejr bryder løs fra Jordens Rand.
33 And the slain of the Lord will be, on that day, from one end of the earth, even to the other end. They will not be mourned, and they will not be gathered, and they will not be buried. They will lie upon the face of the earth like dung.
HERRENS slagne skal paa den Dag ligge fra Jordens ene Ende til den anden; der skal ikke holdes Klage over dem, og de skal ikke sankes og jordes; de skal blive til Gødning paa Marken.
34 Wail, O shepherds, and cry out! And sprinkle yourselves with ashes, O nobles of the flock! For the days have been completed that lead to your slaughter and your destruction. And you will fall like precious vessels.
Jamrer, I Hyrder, og skrig, I Hjordens ypperste, vælt jer i Støvet! Thi Tiden, I skal slagtes, er kommet, som en kostelig Skaal skal I splintres.
35 And escape will flee from the shepherds, and safety will flee from the nobility of the flock.”
Hyrderne finder ej Tilflugt, ej Hjordens ypperste Redning.
36 There is a voice of outcry from the shepherds, and a wailing among the nobles among the flock! For the Lord has laid waste to their pastures.
Hør, hvor Hyrderne skriger, hvor Hjordens ypperste jamrer! Thi HERREN hærger deres Græsgange,
37 And the fields of peace have been silenced before the face of the fury of the Lord.
og Fredens Vange lægges øde for HERRENS glødende Vrede;
38 He has abandoned those he sheltered like a lion. For the earth has become a desolation before the face of the anger of the dove, and before the face of the fury of the Lord.
Løven gaar bort fra sin Tykning, thi deres Land er lagt øde for det hærgende Sværd, for HERRENS glødende Vrede.
