Jeremiah 33
1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Herrens ord kom anden gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, således:
2 Thus hath said the Lord who doth this, the Lord that formeth it, to establish it: the Eternal is his name;
Så siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will tell thee great and unheard of things, which thou knowest not.
Kald på mig, så vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
4 For thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by means of the mounds, and by means of the sword;
Thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne Bys Huse og om Judas Kongers Huse, som nedbrødes for at bruges til Volde og Mur,
5 As they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill those with the corpses of the men whom I slay in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
da man gav sig til at stride imod Kaldæerne, og som fyldtes med Ligene af de Mennesker, jeg slog i min Vrede og Harme, og for hvem jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for al deres Ondskabs Skyld:
6 Behold, I will bring it healing and cure, and I will cure them, and I will display unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
Se, jeg vil lade Byens Sår heles og læges, og jeg helbreder dem og oplader for dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
7 And I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them up, as at the first.
Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their guiltiness, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned toward me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
Jeg renser dem for al deres Brøde, med hvilken de syndede imod mig, og tilgiver alle deres Misgerninger, med hvilke de syndede og forbrød sig imod mig.
9 And it shall be to me for a name of gladness, a praise and an honor with all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I am doing unto them: and they shall dread and tremble because of all the good and because of all the happiness that I prepare unto it.
Byen skal blive til Glæde, til Pris og Ære blandt alle Jordens Folk; og når de hører om alt det gode, jeg gør den, skal de frygte og bæve over alt det gode og al den Lykke, jeg lader den times.
10 Thus hath said the Lord, Yet again shall there be heard in this place, of which ye say, “It is ruined, without man and without beast” [[[even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, ]]
Så siger HERREN: På dette Sted, som I siger er ødelagt, uden Mennesker og Kvæg, i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader, der er lagt øde, uden Mennesker og kvæg,
11 The voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that say, “Give thanks unto the Lord of hosts; for the Lord is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness:” of those that bring thanksgiving-offering unto the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.
skal atter høres Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Råb af Folk, som siger: "Tak Hærskarers HERRE; thi HERREN er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" og som bringer Takoffer til HERRENs Hus; thi jeg vender Landets Skæbne, så det bliver som tilforn, siger HERREN.
12 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet again shall there be in this place, which is ruined, without man and even without beast, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds who cause their flocks to lie down.
Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: På dette ødelagte Sted, som er uden Mennesker og Kvæg, og i alle dets Byer skal der atter være Græsgange, hvor Hyrder lader deres Hjorde ligge;
13 In the cities of the mountain, in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks yet pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith the Lord.
i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer, i Benjamins land, i Jerusalems Omegn og i Judas Byer skal Småkvæget atter gå forbi under Tællerens Hånd, siger HERREN.
14 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will fulfill that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and respecting the house of Judah.
Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg opfylder den Forjættelse, jeg udtalte om Israels og Judas Hus.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause to grow up unto David the sprout of righteousness: and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
I hine Dage og til hin Tid lader jeg en Retfærds Spire fremspire for David, og han skal øve Ret og Retfærd i Landet.
16 In those days shall Judah be helped, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is what she shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.
I hine Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo trygt, og man skal kalde det: HERREN vor Retfærdighed.
17 For thus hath said the Lord, There shall never be wanting unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
Thi så siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde på Israels Huss Trone.
18 And unto the priests the Levites there shall not be wanting a man before me, to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meat-offerings, and to prepare sacrifices at all times.
Og Levitpræsterne skal aldrig fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn og frembære Brændoffer, brænde Afgrødeoffer og ofre Slagtoffer.
19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
20 Thus hath said the Lord, If ye can break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, and so, that there be not day and night in their season:
Så siger HERREN Hvis min Pagt med Dagen og Natten brydes, så det ikke bliver Dag og Nat, når Tid er inde,
21 Then also shall my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and [that] with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
da skal også min Pagt med min Tjener David brydes, så han ikke har nogen Søn til at sidde som Konge på sin Trone, og med Levitpræsterne, som tjener mig.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
Som Himmelens Hær ikke kan tælles og Havets Sand ikke måles, således vil jeg mangfoldiggøre min Tjener Davids Afkom og Leviterne, som tjener mig.
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
24 Hast thou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath made choice of, even these hath he rejected: and they [thus] have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Har du ikke lagt Mærke til, hvorledes dette Folk siger: "De to Slægter, HERREN udvalgte, har han forkastet!" Og de smæder mit Folk, fordi det i deres Øjne ikke 1ner er et Folk.
25 Thus hath said the Lord, If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth:
Så siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
26 Then also will I reject the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
så vil jeg også forkaste Jakobs Afkom og min Tjener David og ikke af hans Afkom tage Herskere oer Abrabams, Isaks og Jakobs Afkom; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne og forbarmer mig over dem.
