Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus says the LORD; Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
Imod Ammons Børn, Saa siger Herren: Har Israel ingen Sønner? eller har han ingen Arving? hvorfor har Malkom taget Gad til Eje og hans Folk taget Bolig i dennes Stæder?
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir to them that were his heirs, said the LORD.
Derfor se, Dage komme, siger Herren, da jeg vil lade et Krigsskrig høres imod Ammons Børns Rabba, og den skal blive til en øde Dynge, og dens omliggende Stæder skulle antændes med Ild; men Israel skal tage dem til Eje, som eje ham, siger Herren.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, you daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
Hyl, Hesbon! thi Aj er ødelagt; skriger, I Rabbas Døtre! ifører eder Sæk, klager eder, og løber omkring i Indhegningerne; thi Malkom skal gaa i Landflygtighed, hans Præster og hans Fyrster til Hobe.
4 Why glory you in the valleys, your flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?
Hvi roser du dig af Dalene? din Dal har Overflod, du forvildede Datter! du, som forlader dig paa dine Skatte og tænker: Hvo kan komme til mig?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wanders.
Se, jeg lader komme Frygt over dig, siger den Herre, Herre Zebaoth, fra alle Sider trindt omkring dig; og I skulle blive fordrevne, hver sin Vej, og der skal ingen være, der samler dem, som fly.
6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, says the LORD.
Men derefter vil jeg vende Ammons Børns Fangenskab, siger Herren.
7 Concerning Edom, thus says the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
Imod Edom. Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Er der ingen Visdom mere i Theman? Klogskaben er forsvunden for de forstandige; deres Visdom er skyllet bort.
8 Flee you, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I will visit him.
Flyr, vender eder, tager Bolig i det dybe, I Indbyggere i Dedan! thi jeg lader Esaus Ulykke komme over ham den Tid, jeg hjemsøger ham.
9 If grape gatherers come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
Dersom Vinhøstmænd komme over dig, skulle de ikke lade nogen Efterhøst blive tilbage; dersom Tyve komme om Natten, skulle de ødelægge, indtil de have nok.
10 But I have made Esau bore, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brothers, and his neighbors, and he is not.
Thi jeg har blottet Esau, aabenbaret hans Skjulesteder, saa at han ikke kan skjule sig; ødelagt er hans Afkom og hans Brødre og hans Naboer, og der er ingen mere tilbage.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
Forlad dine faderløse, jeg vil lade dem leve; og dine Enker forlade sig paa mig!
12 For thus says the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished? you shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.
Thi saa siger Herren: Se, de, som ikke vare dømte til at drikke af Bægeret, maatte jo drikke, og skulde da du slippe fri? Nej, du skal ikke slippe fri, men visselig drikke.
13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
Thi jeg har svoret ved mig selv, siger Herren, at Bozra skal blive til Forfærdelse, til Forhaanelse, til Ørk og til Forbandelse; og alle dets Stæder skulle blive til Ørkener evindelig.
14 I have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent to the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
Jeg har hørt et Rygte fra Herren, og at der er sendt et Bud ud iblandt Folkene: Samler eder og kommer over det; og gører eder rede til Striden!
15 For, see, I will make you small among the heathen, and despised among men.
Thi se, jeg vil gøre dig liden iblandt Folkene, foragtet iblandt Menneskene.
16 Your terribleness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, that hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says the LORD.
Der har været Skræk for dig; dit Hjertes Hovmod har bedraget Æg, du, som bor i Klippens Kløfter og har besat Højens Top; om du end sætter din Rede saa højt som Ørnen, vil jeg dog kaste dig ned derfra, siger Herren.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
Og Edom skal blive til en Forfærdelse; enhver, som gaar forbi det, skal forfærdes og spotte over alle dets Plager.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
Ligesom Sodoma og Gomorra og dens Naboer ere omstyrtede, siger Herren, saa skal ingen Mand bo der og intet Menneskebarn opholde sig der.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
Se, han drager op som en Løve fra Jordans Stolthed imod den stedse friske Græsgang; thi i et Øjeblik vil jeg jage dem bort derfra; og hvo er den udvalgte, som jeg vil beskikke over den? Thi hvo er som jeg? og hvo kan kræve mig til Regnskab? og hvo er den Hyrde, som kan bestaa for mit Ansigt?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
Derfor hører Herrens Raad, som han har besluttet imod Edom, og hans Tanker, som han har tænkt imod Themans Indbyggere: Man skal visselig bortslæbe de smaa Lam af Hjorden, og deres Græsgang skal forfærdes over dem.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
Ved Lyden af deres Fald bæver Jorden; Skriget — Lyden deraf høres ved det røde Hav.
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Se, han stiger op som Ørnen og flyver, og han udbreder sine Vinger imod Bozra; og paa denne Dag skulle de vældiges Hjerter i Edom være ligesom en beængstet Kvindes Hjerte.
23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
Imod Damaskus. Hamat og Arfad ere beskæmmede, thi de have hørt et ondt Rygte, de ere forsagte; der er Bekymring som paa Havet, det kan ikke være roligt.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turns herself to flee, and fear has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
Damaskus har ladet Hænderne synke, den har vendt sig for at fly, og Forfærdelse har betaget den: Angest og Smerte have grebet den som den fødende.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
Hvorledes! er den ikke forladt, den berømte Stad, min Glædes By?
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD of hosts.
Derfor skulle dens unge Karle falde paa dens Gader, og alle Krigsmændene skulle udryddes paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
Og jeg vil antænde en Ild paa Murene i Damaskus, og den skal fortære Benhadads Paladser.
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus says the LORD; Arise you, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
Imod Kedar og Hazors Riger, hvilke Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, slog. Saa siger Herren: Staar op, drager op til Kedar og ødelægger Østens Børn!
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Fear is on every side.
De skulle tage deres Pauluner og deres Hjorde, deres Telte og alle deres Redskaber, og deres Kameler skulle de føre bort med sig; og de skulle raabe over dem: Rædsel trindt omkring!
30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O you inhabitants of Hazor, says the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.
Flyr, vanker vidt om, tager Bolig i det dybe, I Hazors Indbyggere! siger Herren, thi Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, har besluttet et Raad imod eder og udtænkt en Tanke imod eder.
31 Arise, get you up to the wealthy nation, that dwells without care, says the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
Staar op, drager op imod et Folk, som er roligt, som bor tryggelig, siger Herren; det har hverken Porte eller Portstænger, de bo for sig selv.
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, says the LORD.
Og deres Kameler skulle blive til Rov og deres Kvægs Mangfoldighed til Bytte; og jeg vil adsprede dem med rundklippet Haar for alle Vinde; og fra alle Sider vil jeg lade deres Ulykke komme, siger Herren.
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
Og Hazor skal blive til Dragers Bo, en Ødelæggelse evindelig; der skal ingen Mand bo der og intet Menneskebarn opholde sig der.
34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Herrens Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias, imod Elam, i Begyndelsen af Judas Konge Zedekias's Regering, saaledes:
35 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Se, jeg sønderbryder Elams Bue, deres Hovedstyrke.
36 And on Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
Og jeg vil lade de fire Vejr fra Himmelens fire Hjørner komme over Elam og adsprede dem for alle disse Vejr, og der skal ikke være noget Folk, hvorhen der jo skal komme fordrevne fra Elam.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
Og jeg vil indjage Elam Skræk for deres Fjenders Ansigt og for deres Ansigt, som søge efter deres Liv, og lade Ulykke, min brændende Vrede, komme over dem, siger Herren; og jeg vil sende Sværdet efter dem, indtil jeg har gjort Ende paa dem.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes, says the LORD.
Og jeg vil sætte min Trone i Elam, og jeg vil lade Konger og Fyrster forsvinde derfra, siger Herren.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, says the LORD.
Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, da vil jeg omvende Elams Fangenskab, siger Herren.
