Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.
Imod Moab. Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Ve, Nebo! thi den er ødelagt; beskæmmet, indtaget er Kirjathajm; beskæmmet er Misgab og forfærdet.
2 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
Med Moabs Pris er det forbi; i Hesbon optænke de ondt imod det: Kommer og lader os udslette det, at det ikke mere er et Folk; ogsaa du, Madmen! skal ødelægges, et Sværd skal forfølge dig.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
Der høres et Skrig fra Horanajm: Ødelæggelse og stor Forstyrrelse.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Moab er forstyrret; de smaa derudi lade deres Skrig høre.
5 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
Thi ad Opgangen til Lukit stiger Graad op over Graad; og ved Nedgangen til Horonajm hører man Forstyrrelses Skrig.
6 "Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."
Flyr, redder eders Liv! og I skulle være som den enlige i Ørken.
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
Thi fordi du forlod dig paa dine Gerninger og paa dine Skatte, skal ogsaa du indtages; og Kamos skal vandre i Landflygtighed, hans Præster og hans Fyrster til Hobe.
8 The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD has spoken.
Og der skal komme en Ødelægger til hver Stad, og ingen Stad skal undslippe; og Dalen skal gaa til Grunde og Sletten ødelægges, som Herren har sagt.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'
Giver Moab Vinger, thi det skal flyve ud; og dets Stæder skulle være til en Ødelæggelse, saa at ingen skal bo i dem.
10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
Forbandet være den, som gør Herrens Gerning med Efterladenhed; og forbandet være den, som holder sit Sværd tilbage fra Blod.
11 'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
Moab har boet trygt fra sin Ungdom af og ligget stille paa sin Bærme og er ikke tømt af et Kar i det andet, og det er ikke draget bort iblandt de bortførte; derfor har det beholdt sin Smag, og dets Lugt er ikke forandret.
12 Therefore look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
Derfor se, de Dage skulle komme, siger Herren, da jeg vil sende Folk til det, som skulle vende dets Fade om; de skulle tømme dets Kar og sønderbryde dets Flasker.
13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
Og Moab skal blive til Skamme over Kamos, ligesom Israels Hus blev til Skamme over Bethel, som de forlode sig paa.
14 How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
Hvorledes kunne I sige: Vi ere Helte og duelige Krigsmænd?
15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
Moab er ødelagt, og man er steget op i dets Stæder, og dets udvalgte unge Mandskab er steget ned for at slagtes, siger Kongen, hvis Navn er Herre Zebaoth.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
Moabs Undergang er nær for Haanden, og dets Ulykke skynder sig saare.
17 All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod."
Haver Medynk med det, alle I, som bo trindt omkring det! og alle I, som kende dets Navn, siger: Hvorledes er Magtens Stav, Herlighedens Spir sønderbrudt?
18 You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
Stig ned fra Herlighed, og sid i det tørstige Land, du Indbyggerske, Dibons Datter! thi Moabs Ødelægger er stegen op imod dig, han har ødelagt dine Befæstninger.
19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"
Stil dig ved Vejen og se dig om, du Aroers Indbyggerske! spørg ham, som er flygtet, og hende, som er undkommet; sig, hvad er der sket?
20 "Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
Moab er beskæmmet; thi det er knust, hyler og skriger; kundgører det ved Arnon, at Moab er ødelagt;
21 Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
og en Dom er kommet til Slettens Land, til Holon og til Jaza og over Mefaat
22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
og over Dibon og over Nebo og over Beth-Diblathajm
23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
og over Kirjathajm og over Bethgamul og over Bethmeon
24 and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
og over Kirjot og over Bozra og over alle Stæder i Moabs Land, de fjerne og de nære.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says the LORD.
Moabs Horn er afhugget, og dets Arm er sønderbrudt, siger Herren,
26 'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
Gører det drukkent! thi det ophøjede sig storlig imod Herren, saa at Moab maa plaske i sit Spy, og at ogsaa det maa blive til Latter.
27 For wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
Thi mon Israel ikke var dig til Latter? mon det var grebet iblandt Tyve, at du, saa tit du talte om det, skulde ryste med Hovedet?
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
Forlader Stæderne og bor i Klippen, I Indbyggere i Moab! og værer som en Due, der bygger Rede ved Siden af Aabningen ned til en Kløft!
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
Vi have hørt om Moabs Hovmod, det er saare hovmodigt, om dets Hoffærdighed og dets Hovmod og dets Stolthed og dets Hjertes Højhed.
30 I know his wrath,' says the LORD, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
Jeg kender, siger Herren, dets Overmod, men det er tomt; dets Pral er i Gerning tom.
31 therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
Derfor maa jeg hyle over Moab og skrige over hele Moab; man maa sukke over Kir-Heres's Folk,
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
Jeg maa græde over dig, du Vintræ i Sibma! mere end jeg græder over Jaeser, dine Kviste gik hen over Havet, de naaede til Jaesers Hav; en Ødelægger er falden ind over din Frugthøst og over din Vinhøst.
33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
Og Glæde og Fryd har forladt Frugthaven og Moabs Land; og jeg vil lade Vinen høre op i Persekarrene, ingen skal træde Persen med Frydesang, Frydesangen skal ikke mere være Frydesang.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
Af Skriget i Hesbon lade de Lyden høres, indtil Eleale, indtil Jahaz, fra Zoar indtil Horonajm, Eglath Selisia; thi ogsaa Nimjims Vande skulle blive til Ørk.
35 And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says the LORD, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
Og jeg vil gøre, siger Herren, at Moab ikke mere skal have nogen, som drager op paa Højen og gør Røgoffer for sine Guder.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
Derfor bruser mit Hjerte som Fløjter over Moab, og mit Hjerte bruser over Mændene i Kir-Heres som Fløjter, derfor gaar Levningen, som det havde forhvervet, til Grunde.
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.
Thi hvert Hoved er skaldet, og hvert Skæg er afskaaret; der er Indsnit paa alle Hænder og Sæk om Lænderne.
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says the LORD.
Paa alle Tage i Moab og paa dets Gader er der kun Klage; thi jeg har sønderbrudt Moab som et Kar, man ikke har Lyst til, siger Herren.
39 How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.'
Hvorledes er det dog knust I Hyler! hvorledes vender Moab dog Nakken til! det er beskæmmet; og Moab skal blive til Latter og til Forfærdelse for alle trindt omkring det.
40 For thus says the LORD: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
Thi saa siger Hejren: Se, han kommer flyvende som Ørnen og udbreder sine Vinger imod Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Stæderne erobres, og Fæstningerne indtages; og de vældiges Hjerte i Moab skal være paa denne Dag som en beængstet Kvindes Hjerte.
42 Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
Og Moab skal ødelægges, saa at det ikke mere er et Folk, thi det har ophøjet sig storlig imod Herren.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
Forfærdelse og Grav og Snare over dig, du, som bor i Moab! siger Herren,
44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says the LORD.
Den, som flyr for Forfærdelsen, skal falde i Graven, og den, som kommer op af Graven, skal fanges i Snaren; thi jeg Vil lade komme til det, til Moab, dets Hjemsøgelses Aar, siger Herren,
45 'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.
I Hesbons Skygge stille sig de, der fly som kraftesløse; thi en Ild udgaar fra Hesbon og en Lue fra Sihon, og den skal fortære Moabs Hjørne og Issen af Bulderets Srør, ner.
46 Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
Ve dig, Moab! Kamos's Folk er fortabt; thi dine Sønner ere tagne og førte i Fangenskab og dine Døtre i Fangenskab.
47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
Men jeg vil omvende Moabs Fangenskab i de sidste Dage, siger Herren. — Hertil gaar Dommen over Moab.
