Jeremiah 17
1 The sinne of Iudah is written with a pen of yron, and with the poynt of a diamonde, and grauen vpon the table of their heart, and vpon the hornes of your altars.
Optegnet er Judas Synd med Griffel af Jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og paa deres Altres Horn,
2 They remember their altars as their children, with their groues by the greene trees vpon the hilles.
naar Sønnerne kommer deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, paa alle grønne Træer, paa de høje Steder,
3 O my mountaine in the fielde, I will giue thy substance, and all thy treasures to be spoyled, for the sinne of thy high places throughout all thy borders.
paa Bjergene paa Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, saa langt dine Grænser naar.
4 And thou shalt rest, and in thee shall be a rest from thine heritage that I gaue thee, and I will cause thee to serue thine enemies in the land, which thou knowest not: for yee haue kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burne for euer.
Din Haand maa 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 saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arme, and withdraweth his heart from the Lord.
Saa siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler paa Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the wildernesse, and shall not see when any good commeth, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernesse, in a salt land, and not inhabited.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og faar ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 Blessed be the man, that trusteth in ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler paa HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 For he shall be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not care for the yeere of drought, neyther shall cease from yeelding fruit.
Han bliver som et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, naar Heden kommer, hvis Løv er frodiggrønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens Aar eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
9 The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I the Lord search the heart, and try ye reines, euen to giue euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 As the partryche gathereth the yong, which she hath not brought forth: so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leaue them in the middes of his dayes, and at his ende shall bee a foole.
Som en Agerhøne paa Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han maa slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slaar ved sin Død som en Daare.
12 As a glorious throne exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuarie.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee, shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shalbe written in the earth, because they haue forsaken the Lord, the fountaine of liuing waters.
HERRE, du Israels Haab, enhver, der forlader dig, faar Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
14 Heale me, O Lord, and I shall bee whole: saue me, and I shall bee saued: for thou art my prayse.
Læg mig, HERRE, saa jeg læges, frels du mig, saa jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 Behold, they say vnto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.
Se, de andre siger til mig: »Hvor er HERRENS Ord? Lad det komme!«
16 But I haue not thrust in my selfe for a pastour after thee, neither haue I desired the day of miserie, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips, was right before thee.
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 Aasyn.
17 Be not terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduersitie.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt paa Ulykkens Dag.
18 Let them bee confounded, that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be afraide, but let not me be afraide: bring vpon them the day of aduersitie, and destroy them with 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 hath the Lord said vnto me, Goe and stande in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the Kings of Iudah come in, and by the which they goe out, and in all ye gates of Ierusalem,
Saaledes sagde HERREN til mig: Gaa hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger gaar ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalems Porte
20 And say vnto them, Heare the word of the Lord, ye Kings of Iudah, and al Iudah, and all the inhabitants of Ierusale, that enter in by these gates.
og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som gaar ind ad disse Porte!
21 Thus sayth the Lord, Take heede to your soules, and beare no burden in the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Ierusalem.
Saa siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen!
22 Neither cary foorth burdens out of your houses in the Sabbath day: neither doe yee any worke, but sanctifie the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.
Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse paa Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbatsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23 But they obeied not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neckes stiffe and would not heare, nor receiue correction.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 Neuerthelesse if ye will heare me, sayth the Lord, and beare no burden through the gates of the citie in the Sabbath day, but sanctifie ye Sabbath day, so that ye do no worke therein,
Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, saa I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde paa den,
25 Then shall the Kings and the princes enter in at the gates of this citie, and shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and shall ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both they and their princes, the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem: and this citie shall remaine for euer.
saa skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder paa 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 staa til evig Tid.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Iudah, and from about Ierusalem, and from the land of Beniamin, and from the plaine, and from the mountaines, and from the South, which shall bring burnt offrings, and sacrifices, and meate offrings, and incense, and shall bring sacrifice of prayse 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 ye will not heare me to sanctifie the Sabbath day, and not to beare a burden nor to go through the gates of Ierusalem in the Sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte paa Sabbatsdagen, saa sætter jeg Ild paa dets Porte, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
