Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was 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 Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.
— og dengang belejrede Kongen af Babels Hær Jerusalem; men Profeten Jeremias var indelukket i Forgaarden til Fængselet, som var i Judas Konges Hus;
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you prophesy, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Look, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take 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 shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall 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 shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him," says Jehovah: "though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall 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 Jeremiah said, "The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Og Jeremias sagde: Herrens Ord er kommet til mig saalunde:
7 'Look, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, "Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it."'
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 So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said to me, "Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
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 I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even 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 I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
Og jeg skrev det i Brevet og forseglede det og tog Vidner dertil og vejede Pengene i Vægtskaalerne:
11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
Og jeg tog Købebrevet, det som var forseglet og indeholdt, hvad der var bestemt og fastsat, og det, som var aabent.
12 and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
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 I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
Og jeg befalede Baruk for deres Øjne og sagde:
14 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: "Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue 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 says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.'
Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Endnu skal der købes Huse og Agre og Vingaarde i dette Land.
16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Og jeg bad til Herren, efter at jeg havde overgivet Baruk, Nerias Søn, Købebrevet og sagde:
17 'Ah, Jehovah. Look, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too difficult 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 who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the Great, the Mighty God, Jehovah 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 work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of human beings, to give to each person 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 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all humankind, and have made a name for yourself to 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 You brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
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 gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give 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 came in, and possessed it, but they did not obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on 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 Look, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and look, you see it.
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 You have said to me, Lord Jehovah, "Buy the field for money, and call witnesses"; whereas the city is 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 Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til Jeremias, saa lydende:
27 "Look, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too difficult for me?
Se, jeg er Herren, alt Køds Gud; mon nogen Ting skulde være underlig for mig?
28 Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take 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 fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, 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 children of Israel and the people of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Jehovah.
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 to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it 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 children of Israel and of the people of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their officials, 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 They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive 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 But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Men de satte deres Vederstyggeligheder i det Hus, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, for at besmitte det.
35 They built the high places of Baal, which are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I did not command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, 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 "Now therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, 'It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the 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 'Look, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
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 shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Og de skulle være mig et Folk, og jeg vil være dem en Gud.
39 and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children 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 will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart 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 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole 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 says Jehovah: 'Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised 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 Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, "It is desolate, without man or animal; it is 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 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev: for I will cause their captivity to return,' says Jehovah."
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.
