Jeremiah 16
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Thou shalt not take thyself a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
Du skal ikke tage dig en Hustru og ikke have Sønner eller Døtre paa dette Sted.
3 For thus hath said the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bear them, and concerning their fathers that beget them in this land:
Thi saa siger HERREN om de Sønner og Døtre, der fødes paa dette Sted, og om Mødrene, som føder dem, og Fædrene, som avler dem i dette Land:
4 A death through diseases of famine shall they die; they shall not be lamented for; nor shall they be buried; for dung upon the face of the earth shall they be: and by the sword and by famine shall they come to their end; and their carcasses shall be for food unto the fowls of heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.
En smertefuld Død skal de dø; der skal ikke holdes Dødeklage over dem, og de skal ikke jordes; til Gødning paa Marken skal de blive. De skal omkomme ved Sværd og Hunger; deres Lig skal være Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr til Æde.
5 For thus hath said the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor to condole with them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, yea, kindness and mercy.
Thi saa siger HERREN: Kom ikke i Sorgens Hus, gaa ikke til Klage, vis dem ikke Medynk, thi jeg tager min Fred fra dette Folk, lyder det fra HERREN, baade Naade og Barmhjertighed;
6 And both the great and the small shall die in this land, — they shall not be buried, and men shall not lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
og store og smaa skal dø i dette Land og ikke jordes. De skal ikke holde Dødeklage eller ridse Huden eller klippe sig for deres Skyld,
7 Nor shall they break bread for them at their mourning, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall they give them to drink the cup of consolation for their father and for their mother.
bryde Brød til en, der har Sorg, til Trøst for den døde, eller kvæge ham med Trøstebæger for Fader og Moder.
8 And into the house of feasting shalt thou not enter, to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
Og kom ikke i et Gildehus for at sidde iblandt dem og spise og drikke;
9 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Se, for eders Øjne og i eders Dage gør jeg paa dette Sted Ende paa Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt tell this people all these words, and they should say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord spoken against us all this great evil? and what is our iniquity? and what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?
Naar du forkynder dette Folk alle disse Ord, og de siger til dig: »Hvorfor udtaler HERREN al den store Ulykke over os, og hvad er det for en Brøde og Synd, vi har gjort mod HERREN vor Gud?«
11 That thou shalt say unto them, Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord, and walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down unto them, and me they forsook, and my law they kept not;
svar dem saa: Fordi eders Fædre forlod mig, lyder det fra HERREN, og holdt sig til andre Guder og dyrkede og tilbad dem; mig forlod de og holdt ikke min Lov;
12 And ye act worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken unto me;
og I bærer eder værre ad end eders Fædre, thi se, I vandrer hver efter sit onde Hjertes Stivsind uden at høre mig;
13 Therefore will I hurl you out of this land into the land of which ye had no knowledge, neither ye nor your fathers; and ye will serve there other gods by day and by night; so that I will not grant you any favor.
derfor slænger jeg eder bort fra dette Land til et Land, I ikke kender, saa lidt som eders Fædre, og der skal I dyrke andre Guder baade Dag og Nat; thi jeg vil ikke give eder Naade.
14 Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when it shall not he said any more, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da det ikke mere hedder: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, der førte Israeliterne op fra Ægypten!«
15 But, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them: and I will cause them to return unto their land which I have given unto their fathers.
men: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, der førte Israeliterne op fra Nordens Land og alle de Lande, til hvilke han havde stødt dem bort!« Og jeg fører dem hjem til deres Land, som jeg gav deres Fædre.
16 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after that will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
Se, jeg sender Bud efter Fiskere i Mængde, lyder det fra HERREN, og de skal fiske dem; og siden sender jeg Bud efter Jægere i Mængde, og de skal jage dem fra hvert Bjerg, hver Høj og Klippernes Kløfter.
17 For my eyes are directed upon all their ways, they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Thi mine Øjne er rettet paa alle deres Veje; de er ikke skjult for mig, og deres Brøde er ikke dulgt for mine Øjne.
18 And [thus] will I pay them at the first their two-fold iniquity and their sin; because they have defiled my land, filling my heritage with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.
Og først giver jeg dem tvefold Gengæld for deres Brøde og Synd, fordi de vanhelligede mit Land med deres væmmelige Guders Aadsler og fyldte min Arvelod med deres Vederstyggeligheder.
19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge on the day of trouble, unto thee shall nations come from the ends of the earth, and say, Nothing but falsehood had our fathers inherited, vanity, wherein there is no profit.
Herre, min Styrke, mit Værn, min Tilflugt i Nødens Stund! Til dig skal Folkeslag komme fra den vide Jord og sige: »Vore Fædre arved kun Løgn, Afguder, ingen af dem hjælper.
20 How? can a man make unto himself gods, which are yet no gods?
Kan et Menneske lave sig Guder? De er dog ikke Guder!«
21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, at this time will I cause them to know, my hand and my might: and they shall know that my name is The Eternal.
Se, derfor lader jeg dem mærke, denne Gang lader jeg dem mærke min Haand og min Styrke; og de skal kende, at mit Navn er HERREN.
