Jeremiah 7
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
Staa hen i Porten til HERRENS Hus og udraab dette Ord: Hør HERRENS Ord, hele Juda, I, som gaar ind gennem disse Porte for at tilbede HERREN!
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger, saa vil jeg lade eder bo paa dette Sted.
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
Stol ikke paa den Løgnetale: Her er HERRENS Tempel, HERRENS Tempel, HERRENS Tempel!
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Men bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger! Dersom I virkelig øver Ret Mand og Mand imellem,
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
ikke undertrykker den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, ej heller udgyder uskyldigt Blod paa dette Sted, ej heller til egen Skade holder eder til fremmede Guder,
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
saa vil jeg til evige Tider lade eder bo paa dette Sted i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre.
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Se, I stoler paa Løgnetale, som intet baader.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
Stjæle, slaa ihjel, hore, sværge falsk, tænde Offerild for Ba'al, holde eder til fremmede Guder, som I ikke kender til —
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
og saa kommer I og staar for mit Aasyn i dette Hus, som mit Navn nævnes over, og siger: »Vi er frelst!« — for at gøre alle disse Vederstyggeligheder.
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
Holder I dette Hus, som mit Navn nævnes over, for en Røverkule? Men se, ogsaa jeg har Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN.
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
Gaa dog hen til mit hellige Sted i Silo, hvor jeg først stedfæstede mit Navn, og se, hvad jeg gjorde ved det for mit Folk Israels Ondskabs Skyld.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
Og nu, fordi I øver alle disse Gerninger, lyder det fra HERREN, og fordi I ikke vilde høre, naar jeg aarle og silde talede til eder, eller svare, naar jeg kaldte paa eder,
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
derfor vil jeg gøre med Huset, som mit Navn nævnes over, og som I stoler paa, og med Stedet, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre, ligesom jeg gjorde med Silo;
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
og jeg vil støde eder bort fra mit Aasyn, som jeg stødte alle eders Brødre bort, al Efraims Æt.
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
Men du maa ikke gaa i Forbøn for dette Folk eller frembære klage og Bøn eller trænge ind paa mig for dem, thi jeg hører dig ikke.
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Ser du ikke, hvad de har for i Judas Byer og paa Jerusalems Gader?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Børnene sanker Brænde, Fædrene tænder Ild, og Kvinderne ælter Dejg for at bage Offerkager til Himmelens Dronning og udgyde Drikofre for fremmede Guder og krænke mig.
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
Mon det er mig, de krænker, lyder det fra HERREN, mon ikke sig selv til deres Ansigters Skam?
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, min Vrede og Harme udgyder sig over dette Sted, over Folk og Fæ, over Markens Træer og Jordens Frugt, og den skal brænde uden at slukkes.
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Læg eders Brændofre til eders Slagtofre og æd Kød!
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Thi dengang jeg førte eders Fædre ud af Ægypten, talede jeg ikke til dem eller bød dem noget om Brændoffer og Slagtoffer;
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
men dette bød jeg dem: »I skal høre min Røst, saa vil jeg være eders Gud, og I skal være mit Folk; og I skal gaa paa alle de Veje, jeg byder eder, at det maa gaa eder vel.«
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
Men de hørte ikke og laante ikke Øre; de fulgte deres onde Hjertes Stivsind og gik tilbage, ikke fremad.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
Fra den Dag eders Fædre drog ud af Ægypten, og til i Dag har jeg Dag efter Dag, aarle og silde sendt eder alle mine Tjenere Profeterne;
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
men de hørte ikke og laante ikke Øre; de gjorde Nakken stiv og øvede mere ondt end deres Fædre.
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
Naar du siger dem alle disse Ord, hører de dig ikke, og kalder du paa dem, svarer de dig ikke.
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
Sig saa til dem: Det er det Folk, som ej hørte HERREN deres Guds Røst, det, som ej tog ved Lære; Sandhed er svundet, udryddet af deres Mund.
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
Afklip dit Haar, kast det bort og klag paa de nøgne Høje! Thi HERREN har forkastet og bortstødt den Slægt, han var vred paa.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
Thi Judas Sønner har gjort, hvad der er ondt i mine Øjne, lyder det fra HERREN; de har opstillet deres væmmelige Guder i Huset, som mit Navn nævnes over, for at gøre det urent;
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
de har bygget Tofets Offerhøje i Hinnoms Søns Dal for at brænde deres Sønner og Døtre i Ilden, hvad jeg ikke har paabudt, og hvad aldrig var i min Tanke.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da man ikke mere skal sige Tofet og Hinnoms Søns Dal, men Morddalen, og man skal jorde de døde i Tofet, fordi Pladsen ikke slaar til.
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
Og dette Folks Lig skal blive Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Dyr til Æde, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
Og i Judas Byer og paa Jerusalems Gader gør jeg Ende paa Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, thi Landet skal lægges øde.
