Jeremiah 16
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “You do not take a wife to yourself, Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.”
Du skal ikke tage dig en Hustru og ikke have Sønner eller Døtre paa dette Sted.
3 For thus said YHWH, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers—those bearing them, And of their fathers—those begetting 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 “They die painful deaths, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground, And are consumed by sword and by famine, And their carcass has been for food To the bird of the heavens, And to the beast 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 said YHWH: “Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people,” A declaration of YHWH, “The kindness and the mercies.
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 great and small have died in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor does any cut himself, nor become 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 do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
bryde Brød til en, der har Sorg, til Trøst for den døde, eller kvæge ham med Trøstebæger for Fader og Moder.
8 You do not enter a house of banqueting, 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of 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 has come to pass, When you declare all these words to this people, And they have said to you, Why has YHWH spoken all this great evil against us? Indeed, what [is] our iniquity, and what [is] our sin, That we have sinned against our God YHWH?
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 Then you have said to them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, A declaration of YHWH, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And have forsaken Me, and not kept My law,
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 You also have done evil above your fathers, And behold, you are each walking after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to listen to 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 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that you have not known, You and your fathers, And you have served other gods there by day and by night, Where I do not give grace to you.
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,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is not said anymore, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons 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, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands to where He drove them, And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to 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 am sending for many fishers,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes 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] on all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor has their iniquity been concealed from before 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 I have repaid a first—A second time—their iniquity and their sin, Because of their defiling My land, With the carcass of their detestable things, Indeed, their abominations have filled My inheritance.”
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 YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Nations come to You from the ends of the earth, And say, “Our fathers only inherited falsehood, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.”
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 Does man make gods for himself, And they—no gods?
Kan et Menneske lave sig Guder? De er dog ikke Guder!«
21 “Therefore, behold, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My Name [is] YHWH!”
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.
