Jeremiah 24
1 YHWH has showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of YHWH—after the removing by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the artisan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he brings them into Babylon—
HERREN lod mig skue et Syn, og se, der var to Kurve Figener, som stod foran HERRENS Tempel; det var, efter at Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel havde bortført Jojakims Søn, Kong Jekonja af Juda, og Judas Fyrster, Kunsthaandværkerne og Smedene fra Jerusalem til Babel.
2 In one basket [are] very good figs, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] very bad figs that are not eaten because of badness.
Den ene Kurv indeholdt saare gode Figener, saa gode som tidligmodne, den anden saare slette Figener, saa slette, at de ikke kunde spises.
3 And YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten because of badness.”
Og HERREN sagde til mig: »Hvad ser du, Jeremias?« Jeg svarede: »Figener! De gode er saare gode og de slette saare slette, saa slette, at de ikke kan spises.«
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Da kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
5 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Like these good figs so I acknowledge The expulsion of Judah that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans—for good.
Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Som man ser paa disse gode Figener, vil jeg se paa de bortførte Judæere, som jeg drev bort fra dette Sted til Kaldæernes Land.
6 And I have set My eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I do not throw down, And have planted them, and do not pluck up.
Jeg vil fæste mine Øjne paa dem med Velbehag og føre dem hjem til dette Land. Jeg vil opbygge og ikke nedbryde dem, plante og ikke oprykke dem.
7 And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] YHWH, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back to Me with all their heart.
Jeg giver dem Hjerte til at kende mig, at jeg er HERREN; de skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud, naar de omvender sig til mig af hele deres Hjerte.
8 And like the bad figs that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said YHWH: So I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt,
Men som man gør med de slette Figener, for slette til at spises, vil jeg, saa siger HERREN, gøre med Kong Zedekias af Juda og hans Fyrster og Resten af Jerusalem, dem, der er levnet i dette Land, og dem, der bor i Ægypten;
9 And I have given them for a trembling, For evil—to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for an allegory, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places to where I drive them.
jeg gør dem til Rædsel for alle Jordens Riger, til Spot og Mundheld, til Haan og til et Forbandelsens Tegn paa alle de Steder, hvorhen jeg bortstøder dem;
10 And I have sent the sword against them, The famine and the pestilence, Until their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers!”
jeg sender Sværd, Hunger og Pest imod dem, indtil de er udryddet af det Land, jeg gav dem og deres Fædre.
