Jeremiah 32
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah—it [is] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar—
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren i Judas Konge Zedekias's tiende Aar; det Aar er Nebukadnezars attende Aar;
2 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet has been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
— og dengang belejrede Kongen af Babels Hær Jerusalem; men Profeten Jeremias var indelukket i Forgaarden til Fængselet, som var i Judas Konges Hus;
3 where Zedekiah king of Judah has shut him up, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it;
hvor Zedekias, Judas Konge, havde indelukket ham og sagt: Hvorfor spaar du og siger: Saa sagde Herren: Se, jeg giver denne Stad i Kongen af Babels Haand, at han skal indtage den,
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah does not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth has spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see his eyes,
og Zedekias, Judas Konge, skal ikke undkomme fra Kaldæernes Haand; men han skal visselig gives i Kongen af Babels Haand, og hans Mund skal tale med hans Mund, og hans Øjne skulle se hans Øjne;
5 and he leads Zedekiah [to] Babylon, and there he is until My inspecting him—a declaration of YHWH—because you fight with the Chaldeans, you do not prosper.”
og han skal føre Zedekias til Babel, og han skal blive der, indtil jeg ser til ham, siger Herren; thi om I end stride imod Kaldæerne, skulle I ikke have Lykke. —
6 And Jeremiah says, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Og Jeremias sagde: Herrens Ord er kommet til mig saalunde:
7 Behold, Hanameel son of Shallum, your uncle, is coming to you, saying, Buy my field that [is] in Anathoth for yourself, for the right of redemption [is] yours to buy.”
Se, Hanameel, din Farbroder, Sallums Søn, kommer til dig og siger: Køb dig min Ager, som er i Anathoth; thi du har Løsningsretten, at du kan købe den.
8 And Hanameel, my uncle’s son, comes to me, according to the word of YHWH, to the court of the prison, and says to me, “Please buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession [is] yours, and redemption yours—buy [it] for yourself.” And I know that it [is] the word of YHWH,
Og Hanameel, min Farbroders Søn, kom til mig efter Herrens Ord til Fængselets Forgaard og sagde til mig: Kære, køb min Ager, som er i Anathoth, i Benjamins Land; thi du har Arveretten, og du har Løsningsretten, køb dig den; da fornam jeg, at det var Herrens Ord.
9 and I buy the field that [is] in Anathoth from Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and I weigh the money to him—seventeen shekels of silver.
Og jeg købte af Hanameel, min Farbroders Søn, Ageren, som var i Anathoth, og vejede ham Pengene til, sytten Sekel Sølv.
10 And I write in a scroll, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;
Og jeg skrev det i Brevet og forseglede det og tog Vidner dertil og vejede Pengene i Vægtskaalerne:
11 and I take the purchase scroll, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one;
Og jeg tog Købebrevet, det som var forseglet og indeholdt, hvad der var bestemt og fastsat, og det, som var aabent.
12 and I give the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase scroll, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
Og jeg gav Baruk, en Søn af Neria, som var en Søn af Mahasia, Købebrevet for Hanameels, min Farbroders Søns, Øjne og for de Vidners Øjne, som havde underskrevet Købebrevet, for alle de Jøders Øjne, som sade i Fængselets Forgaard.
13 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying,
Og jeg befalede Baruk for deres Øjne og sagde:
14 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Take these scrolls, this purchase scroll, both the sealed one and the open one, and you have put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Tag disse Breve, dette Købebrev, baade dette forseglede og dette aabne Brev, og læg dem i et Lerkar, at de maa holde sig mange Dage.
15 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards are bought in this land again.”
Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Endnu skal der købes Huse og Agre og Vingaarde i dette Land.
16 And I pray to YHWH after my giving the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, saying,
Og jeg bad til Herren, efter at jeg havde overgivet Baruk, Nerias Søn, Købebrevet og sagde:
17 “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too wonderful for You:
Ak, Herre, Herre! se, du har skabt Himmelen og Jorden ved din store Kraft og ved din udrakte Arm; der er ingen Ting underlig for dig,
18 doing kindness to thousands, and repaying iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name;
du, som gør Miskundhed imod tusinde og som betaler Fædrenes Misgerning i deres Børns Barm efter dem, du store, du vældige Gud, hvis Navn er Herren Zebaoth,
19 great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
stor i Raad og mægtig i Gerning; thi dine Øjne ere opladte over alle Menneskens Børns Veje til at give hver efter hans Veje og efter hans Idrætters Frugt!
20 in that you have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day, and in Israel, and among men, and You make for Yourself a name as [at] this day.
Du, som har gjort Tegn og underlige Ting i Ægyptens Land, indtil denne Dag, baade iblandt Israel og iblandt andre Mennesker, og har indlagt dig et Navn, som det er paa denne Dag;
21 And You bring forth Your people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear,
og du udførte dit Folk Israel af Ægyptens Land, ved Tegn og ved underlige Ting og ved en stærk Haand og ved en udrakt Arm og ved stor Forfærdelse;
22 and you give to them this land that you swore to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
og du gav dem dette Land, som du tilsvor deres Fædre at ville give dem, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning;
23 and they come in, and possess it, and they have not listened to Your voice, and have not walked in Your law, all that which You laid a charge on them to do they have not done, and You proclaim all this calamity [to] them.
og de kom og toge det i Eje, men de hørte ikke din Røst og vandrede ikke efter din Lov; alt det, som du bød dem at gøre, gjorde de ikke; og du lod al denne Ulykke møde dem.
24 Behold, the [siege] mounds have come to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You are seeing.
Se, Belejringsvoldene ere komne ind imod Staden til dens Indtagelse, og Staden er given i Kaldæernes Haand, som stride imod den, ved Sværdet og Hungeren og Pesten; og det, som du har talt, er sket, og se, du ser det.
25 Yet You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, Buy the field for yourself with money, and cause witnesses to testify—and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!”
Og du, Herre, Herre, har dog sagt til mig: Køb dig Ageren for Penge og tag Vidner derpaa, skønt Staden er given i Kaldæernes Haand.
26 And the word of YHWH is to Jeremiah, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saa lydende:
27 “Behold, I [am] YHWH, God of all flesh: is anything too wonderful for Me?”
Se, jeg er Herren, alt Køds Gud; mon nogen Ting skulde være underlig for mig?
28 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has captured it.
Derfor, saa siger Herren: Se, jeg giver denne Stad i Kaldæernes Haand og i Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babels Haand, at han skal indtage den.
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city have come in, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it—and the houses on whose roofs they made incense to Ba‘al, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.
Og Kaldæerne, som stride imod denne Stad, skulle komme og stikke Ild paa denne Stad og opbrænde den og Husene, paa hvis Tage de gjorde Røgelse for Baal og udøste Drikoffer for andre Guder for at opirre mig.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My eyes from their youth; for the sons of Israel are surely provoking Me with the work of their hands,” a declaration of YHWH.
Thi Israels Børn og Judas Børn have kun gjort ondt for mine Øjne fra deres Ungdom af; og Israels Børn have kun opirret mig med deres Hænders Gerning, siger Herren.
31 “For this city has been a cause of My anger and a cause of My fury, even from the day that they built it, and to this day—to turn it aside from before My face,
Thi til Vrede for mig og til Harme for mig har denne Stad været fra den Dag, da de byggede den, og indtil denne Dag, saa at jeg maa skaffe den bort fra mit Ansigt
32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me—they, their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
formedelst al Israels Børns og Judas Børns Ondskab, som de øvede for at opirre mig, de, deres Konger, deres Fyrster, deres Præster og deres Profeter, baade Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Indbyggere.
33 And they turn the neck to Me, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not listening to accept instruction.
Og de vendte Ryggen til mig, og ikke Ansigtet; skønt jeg lærte dem tidligt og ideligt, hørte de dog ikke, saa at de annammede Undervisning.
34 And they set their abominations in the house over which My Name is called, so as to defile it.
Men de satte deres Vederstyggeligheder i det Hus, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, for at besmitte det.
35 And they build the high places of Ba‘al that [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on My heart to do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
Og de byggede Baalshøjene, som ere i Ben-Hinnoms Dal, for at ofre deres Sønner og deres Døtre til Molek, hvilket jeg ikke havde befalet dem, og hvilket ikke var kommet mig i Sinde, og for at gøre denne Vederstyggelighed, paa det de maatte faa Juda til at synde.
36 And now, therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, It has been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
Og nu siger Herren, Israels Gud, derfor saaledes om denne Stad, om hvilken I sige, at den gives i Kongen af Babels Haand, ved Sværdet og ved Hungeren og ved Pesten:
37 Behold, I am gathering them out of all the lands to where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back to this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
Se, jeg samler dem fra alle Landene, hvorhen jeg fordrev dem i min Vrede og i min Harme og i stor Fortørnelse; og jeg vil føre dem tilbage til dette Sted og lade dem bo tryggelig.
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
Og de skulle være mig et Folk, og jeg vil være dem en Gud.
39 and I have given to them one heart and one way, to fear Me all the days, for the good of them and their sons after them:
Og jeg vil give dem eet Hjerte og een Vej, at de skulle frygte mig alle Dage, for at det maa gaa dem vel og deres Børn efter dem.
40 and I have made a perpetual covenant for them, in that I do not turn back from after them for My doing them good, and I put My fear in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;
Og jeg vil slutte en evig Pagt med dem, at jeg ikke vil drage mig tilbage fra dem, med at gøre dem godt; og jeg vil lægge min Frygt i deres Hjerter, at de ikke skulle vige fra mig.
41 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.”
Og jeg vil glæde mig over dem ved at gøre dem godt; og jeg vil plante dem i dette Land i Sandhed, af mit ganske Hjerte og af min ganske Sjæl.
42 For thus said YHWH: “As I brought to this people all this great calamity, so I am bringing on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;
Thi saa siger Herren: Ligesom jeg lod al den store Ulykke komme over dette Folk, saaledes vil jeg lade alt det gode komme over dem, som jeg taler over dem.
43 and the field has been bought in this land of which you are saying, It [is] a desolation, without man and beast, it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Og der skal købes Agre i dette Land, om hvilket I sige: Det er øde, uden Folk og Kvæg, det er givet i Kaldæernes Haand.
44 They buy fields with money, so as to write in a scroll, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in outskirts of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I return their captivity,” a declaration of YHWH.
De skulle købe Agre for Penge og skrive Breve og forsegle dem og tage Vidner derpaa, i Benjamins Land og trindt omkring Jerusalem, og i Judas Stæder og i Stæderne paa Bjerget og i Stæderne i Lavlandet og i Stæderne imod Sønden; thi jeg vil omvende deres Fangenskab, siger Herren.
