Jeremiah 1
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Ord af Jeremias, Hilkijas søn, en af præsterne i Anatot i Benjamins Land,
2 to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
til hvem HERRENs Ord kom i Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, Dage, i hans Herredømmes trettende År,
3 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
og fremdeles i Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, Dage indtil Slutningen af Josias's Søns, Kong Zedekias af Judas, elevte Regeringsår, til Jerusalems Indbyggere førtes i Landflygtighed i den femte Måned.
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
5 “Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
Før jeg danned dig i Moderskød, kendte jeg dig; før du kom ud af Moderliv, helligede jeg dig, til Profet for Folkene satte jeg dig.
6 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
Men jeg svarede: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, jeg kan jo ikke tale, thi jeg er ung."
7 And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
Så sagde HERREN til mig: "Sig ikke: Jeg er ung! men gå, hvorhen jeg end sender dig, og tal alt, hvad jeg byder dig;
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
frygt ikke for dem, thi jeg er med dig for at frelse dig, lyder det fra HERREN."
9 And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
Og, HERREN udrakte sin Hånd, rørte ved min Mund og sagde til mig: "Nu lægger jeg mine Ord i din Mund.
10 See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”
Se, jeg giver dig i Dag Myndighed over Folk og Riger til at oprykke og nedbryde, til at ødelægge og nedrive, til at opbygge og plante."
11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
Siden kom HERRENs Ord til mig således: "Hvad ser du, Jeremias?" Jeg svarede: "Jeg ser en Mandelgren."
12 And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Da sagde HERREN til mig: "Du ser ret, thi jeg er årvågen over mit Ord for at fuldbyrde det."
13 And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
Og HERRENs Ord kom atter til mig således: "Hvad ser du?" Jeg svarede: "Jeg ser en sydende Kedel med Fyrsted mod Nord."
14 And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
Da sagde HERREN til mig: "Nordfra skal Ulykke syde ud over alle Landets Indbyggere;
15 For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all cities of Judah.
thi se, jeg hidkalder alle Nordens Riger, lyder det fra HERREN, og man skal komme og rejse hver sin Trone ved Indgangen til Jerusalems Porte mod alle dets Mure trindt omkring og mod alle Judas Byer;
16 And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
og jeg vil afsige Dom over dem for al deres Ondskab, at de forlod mig, tændte Offerild for fremmede Guder og tilbad deres Hænders Værk.
17 And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
Så omgjorde dine Lænder og stå frem og tal til dem, alt hvad jeg byder dig! Vær ikke ræd for dem, at jeg ikke skal gøre dig ræd for dem!
18 And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
Og jeg, se, jeg gør dig i Dag til en fast Stad, til en Jernstøtte og en kobbermur mod hele Landet, Judas Konger og Fyrster, Præsterne og Almuen;
19 and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
de skal kæmpe imod dig, men ikke kunne magte dig; thi jeg er med dig for at frelse dig, lyder det fra HERREN."
