Jeremiah 11
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren:
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and you have spoken to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Hør denne Pagts Ord og tal til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems. Borgere
3 and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
og sig: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Forbandet være den, der ikke hører denne Pagts Ord,
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to My voice, and you have done them, According to all that I command you, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
som jeg bød eders Fædre holde, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, af Jernovnen, idet jeg sagde: "Hør min Røst og gør alt, hvad jeg pålægger eder, så skal I være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answer and say, “Amen, O YHWH.”
og holde den Ed, jeg tilsvor eders Fædre om at give dem et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, som det nu er sket!" Og jeg svarede: "Amen, HERRE!"
6 And YHWH says to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, And you have done them.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Udråb alle disse Ord i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader: Hør denne Pagts Ord og hold dem!
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt—until this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Listen to My voice,
Thi jeg besvor eders Fædre, dengang jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten, ja til den Dag i Dag, årle og silde: "Hør min Røst!"
8 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they each walk in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.”
Men de hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men fulgte alle deres onde Hjertes Stivsind. Derfor bragte jeg over dem alle denne Pagts Ord, som jeg havde pålagt dem at holde, men som de ikke holdt.
9 And YHWH says to me: “A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Der er fundet en Sammensværgelse blandt Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere;
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel and the house of Judah Have made void My covenant that I made with their fathers.”
de er vendt tilbage til deres Forfædres Misgerninger, de, som vægrede sig ved at høre mine Ord og holdt sig til fremmede Guder og dyrkede dem; Israels Hus og Judas Hus har brudt den Pagt, jeg sluttede med deres Fædre.
11 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing calamity on them, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried to Me, And I do not listen to them.
Derfor, så siger HERREN: Se, jeg sender en Ulykke over dem, som de ikke kan slippe fra; og når de da råber til mig, vil jeg ikke høre dem.
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried to the gods, To whom they are making incense, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their distress.
Da skal Judas Byer og Jerusalems Borgere gå hen og råbe til de Guder, de tænder Offerild for; men de kan ikke frelse dem i Nødens Stund.
13 For the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah, And [for] the number of the streets of Jerusalem You have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make incense to Ba‘al.
Thi mange som dine Byer er dine Guder, Juda, og mange som Gaderne i Jerusalem er Altrene, I har rejst for Skændselen, Altrene til af tænde Offerild for Baal.
14 And you, you do not pray for this people, Nor do you lift up cry and prayer for them, For I do not listen in the time of their calling to Me for their distress.
Men du må ikke gå i Forbøn for dette Folk eller frembære Klage og Bøn for det; thi jeg hører ikke, når de råber til mig i Nødens Stund.
15 What has My beloved to do in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And does the holy flesh pass over from you? When you do evil, then you exult.
Hvad vil min elskede i mit Hus, hun, som øved Svig? Kan Fedt og helligt kød borttage din Ondskab, eller kan du reddes ved sligt?
16 An olive, green, beautiful, of good fruit, Has YHWH called your name, At the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire against it, And its thin branches have been broken.
Et grønt Oliventræ, skønt at skue, så kaldte HERREN dit Navn. Under voldsom Buldren og Bragen afsved Ilden dets Løv og brændte dets Grene.
17 And YHWH of Hosts, who is planting you, Has spoken calamity concerning you, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make incense to Ba‘al.”
Hærskarers HERRE, som plantede dig, truer dig med Ulykke til Straf for det onde, Israels Hus og Judas Hus gjorde for at krænke mig, idet de tændte Offerild for Baal.
18 And, O YHWH, cause me to know, and I know, Then You have showed me their doings.
HERREN lod mig det vide, derfor ved jeg det; da lod du mig se deres Gerninger.
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That they have devised schemes against me: “We destroy the tree with its food, And cut him off from the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.”
Og jeg var som et tålsomt Lam, der føres til Slagtning. Jeg vidste ej af, at de tænkte på Rænker imod mig: "Lad os ødelægge Træet i Blomst, udrydde ham af de levendes Land, så hans Navn ej ihukommes mer."
20 And O YHWH of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I see Your vengeance against them, For I have revealed my cause to You.
Hærskarers HERRE, retfærdige Dommer, som prøver Nyrer og Hjerte, lad mig skue din Hævn på dem, thi på dig har jeg væltet min Sag.
21 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying, “Do not prophesy in the Name of YHWH, and you do not die by our hands.”
Derfor, så siger HERREN om Mændene i Anatot, som står mig efter Livet og siger: "Du må ikke profetere i HERRENs Navn; ellers skal du dø for vor Hånd"
22 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, jeg, vil hjemsøge dem; deres unge Mænd skal dø for Sværd, deres Sønner og Døtre af Hunger;
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring calamity to the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!”
der skal ikke levnes dem nogen Rest, thi jeg sender Ulykke over Mændene i Anatot, når Året, de skal hjemsøges kommer.
