Jeremiah 25
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias om alt Judases folk i Joasias Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde År, det er Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels første År,
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
og som Profeten Jeremias talte til alt Judas Folk og alle Jerusalems Borgere:
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
Fra Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, trettende År til den Dag i Dag, i fulde tre og tyve År er HERRENs Ord kommet til mig, og jeg, talte til eder årle og silde, men I hørte ikke;
4 and YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
og HERREN sendte årle og silde alle sine Tjenere Profeterne til eder, men I hørte ikke; I bøjede ikke eders Øre til at høre,
5 Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
når han sagde: "Omvend eder, hver fra sin onde Vej og sine onde Gerninger, at I fra Evighed til Evighed må bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre;
6 and you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, så I dyrker og tilbeder dem, og krænk mig ikke med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke."
7 and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
Nej, I hørte mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN, og så krænkede I mig med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.
8 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
Derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Fordi I ikke vilde høre mine Ord,
9 behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous ruins.
vil jeg sende Bud efter alle Nordens Stammer, lyder det fra HERREN, og til kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, min Tjener, og lade dem komme over dette Land og dets Indbyggere og over alle Folkene heromkring, og jeg vil ødelægge dem og gøre dem til Rædsel, Latter og Spot for evigt.
10 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
Jeg fjerner fra dem Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Kværnens Lyd og Lampens Skin,
11 And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
og hele dette Land skal blive til Ørk og Øde, og disse Folkeslag skal trælle for Babels konge i halvfjerdsindstyve År.
12 And it has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous desolations.
Men når der er gået halvfjerdsindstyve År, hjemsøger jeg Babels Konge og Folket der for deres Misgerning, lyder det fra HERREN, også Kaldæernes Land hjemsøger jeg og gør det til evige Ørkener,
13 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
og jeg opfylder på dette Land alle mine Ord, som jeg har talet imod det, alt, hvad der er skrevet i denne Bog, alt, hvad Jeremias har profeteret mod alle Folkene.
14 For laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.”
Thi også dem skal mange Folk og vældige Konger gøre til Trælle, og jeg gengælder dem deres Gerning og deres Hænders Værk.
15 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
Thi således sagde HERREN, Israels Gud, til mig: "Tag dette Bæger med min Vredes Vin af min Hånd og giv alle de Folk, jeg sender dig til, at drikke deraf;
16 and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
de skal drikke og rave og rase for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt dem!"
17 And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me:
Og jeg tog Bægeret af HERRENs Hånd og gav alle de Folk, han sendte mig til, at drikke deraf:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day;
Jerusalem og Judas Byer og dets Konger og Fyrster, for at gøre dem til Ørk og Øde, til Spot og til et Forbandelsens Tegn, som det er på denne Dag;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
Farao, Ægypterkongen, med alle hans Tjenere og Fyrster og alt hans Folk,
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
alt Blandingsfolket og alle konger i Uz og Filisterland, Askalon, Gaza og Ekron og Asdods Rest;
21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Edom, Moab og Ammoniterne;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
alle Tyruss og Zidons Konger og den fjerne strands Konger hinsides Havet;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
Dedan, Tema og Buz og alle dem med rundklippet Hår;
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
alle Arabernes konger og alle Blandingsfolkets Konger, som hor i Ørkenen;
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
alle Zimris Konger, alle Elams Konger og alle Mediens Konger;
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks after them.
alle Nordens Konger, nær og fjern, den ene efter den anden. alle Riger på Jordens Overflade; og Kongen af Sjesjak skal drikke efter dem.
27 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
Og du skal sige til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Drik, bliv drukne og spy, fald og rejs eder ikke mere for Sværdet jeg sender iblandt eder!
28 And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
Og hvis de vægrer sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Hånd og drikke, skal du sige til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Drikke skal I!
29 For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Thi se, med den By, mit Navn er nævnet over, begynder jeg at handle ilde, og så skulde I gå fri! Nej, I går ikke fri; thi jeg kalder Sværdet hid mod alle dem, som bor på Jorden, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
30 “And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
Og du skal profetere alle disse Ord for dem og sige: HERREN brøler fra det høje, løfter sin Røst fra sin hellige Bolig; han brøler over sin Græsgang, istemmer Vinperserråbet over alle, som bor på Jorden.
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
Drønet når til Jordens Ende, thi HERREN går i Rette med Folkene; over alt Kød holder han Dom, de gudløse giver han til Sværdet, lyder det fra HERREN.
32 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, Ulykken går fra det ene Folk til det andet, et vældigt Vejr bryder løs fra Jordens Rand.
33 And the pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground.
HERRENs slagne skal på den Dag ligge fra Jordens ene Ende til den anden; der skal ikke holdes Klage over dem, og de skal ikke sankes og jordes; de skal blive til Gødning på Marken.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel.
Jamrer, I Hyrder, og skrig, I Hjordens ypperste, vælt jer i Støvet! Thi Tiden, I skal slagtes, er kommet, som en kostelig Skål skal I splintres.
35 And refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
Hyrderne finder ej Tilflugt, ej Hjordens ypperste Redning.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
Hør, hvor Hyrderne skriger, hvor Hjordens ypperste jamrer! Thi HERREN hærger deres Græsgange,
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
og Fredens Vange lægges øde for HERRENs glødende Vrede;
38 He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
Løven går bort fra sin Tykning, thi deres Land er lagt øde for det hærgende Sværd, for HERRENs glødende Vrede.
