Jeremiah 11
1 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah:
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren:
2 Listen to the terms of this agreement, and then repeat them to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
Hør denne Pagts Ord og tal til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems. Borgere
3 Tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: You are cursed if you don't obey the terms of this agreement.
og sig: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Forbandet være den, der ikke hører denne Pagts Ord,
4 I made this agreement with your forefathers when I led them out of Egypt, out of the iron-making furnace, saying, “Obey me, and do everything I order you to do, and 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 I did this to fulfill what I promised to your forefathers—to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it still is today. Amen, Lord, I answered.
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 Then the Lord told me, Go and publicly announce this whole message in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Pay attention the terms of this agreement and do what they say.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Udråb alle disse Ord i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader: Hør denne Pagts Ord og hold dem!
7 From the time I led your forefathers out of Egypt until now, I seriously warned them time and again, saying, “Do what I tell you!”
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 refused to obey, they wouldn't listen. Instead each of them followed their own stubborn and evil thinking. I had ordered them to follow the agreement, but they didn't do so. So I brought down on them all the curses contained in the agreement.
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 The Lord told me, There is a rebellion happening among the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Der er fundet en Sammensværgelse blandt Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere;
10 They have gone back to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey what I said. They have gone to worship other gods. The people of Israel and Judah have broken the agreement I made with their forefathers.
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 So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring upon them a disaster they won't be able to escape. They will cry out to me for help, but I won't listen to 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 Then the people in the towns of Judah and Jerusalem will go and call out for help to the gods they've been burning incense to, but these gods won't be able to do anything to save them in their time of trouble.
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 You certainly have as many gods as you have towns, Judah! You have built shameful altars, altars to burn incense to Baal. You have as many altars as the streets of Jerusalem.
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 Jeremiah, don't pray for these people. Don't cry for help or offer a prayer on their behalf, because I won't be listening when they cry out to me in the time of their trouble.
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 What right do the people I love have to be in my Temple when they've done so many evil things? Do you think the meat of sacrifices will save you? When disaster strikes will you be happy?
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 At one time the Lord said you were a healthy olive tree, full of leaves and bearing beautiful fruit. But with a great noise he will set fire to it, destroying its branches.
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 I, the Lord Almighty, was the one who planted you, but I have announced you will be destroyed because of the evil that the people of Israel and Judah have committed, making me angry by burning incense 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 The Lord told me about it, so I knew. Then he showed me what they were actually doing.
HERREN lod mig det vide, derfor ved jeg det; da lod du mig se deres Gerninger.
19 I was like a trusting little lamb being led away to be slaughtered. I didn't know that they had been plotting against me. They said, “Let's destroy the tree along with everything it produces. Let's kill him so no one will even remember his name.”
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 I appeal to you, Lord Almighty, you who judge rightly and examine peoples thoughts and feelings, let me see how you punish them, because I've left my case in your hands.
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 So this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are trying to kill you, telling you, “Don't prophesy in the name of the Lord, or we'll kill you.”
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 This is the reply of the Lord Almighty: I will punish them. Their young men will killed by the sword, their sons and daughters will be killed 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 There won't be anyone left because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth at the time when they're punished.
der skal ikke levnes dem nogen Rest, thi jeg sender Ulykke over Mændene i Anatot, når Året, de skal hjemsøges kommer.
