Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias om alt Judas Folk i Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde Aar, det er Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels første Aar,
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and 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 the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of YHWH has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
Fra Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, trettende Aar til den Dag i Dag, i fulde tre og tyve Aar er HERRENS Ord kommet til mig, og jeg talte til eder aarle og silde, men I hørte ikke;
4 YHWH has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear)
og HERREN sendte aarle og silde alle sine Tjenere Profeterne til eder, men I hørte ikke; I bøjede ikke eders Øre til at høre,
5 saying, 'Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
naar han sagde: »Omvend eder, hver fra sin onde Vej og sine onde Gerninger, at I fra Evighed til Evighed maa bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre;
6 and do not go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, saa I dyrker og tilbeder dem, og krænk mig ikke med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.«
7 Yet you have not listened to me,' says YHWH; 'that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.'
Nej, I hørte mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN, og saa krænkede I mig med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke.
8 Therefore thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Because you have not heard my words,
Derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Fordi I ikke vilde høre mine Ord,
9 look, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says YHWH, 'and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
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 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Jeg fjerner fra dem Fryderaab og Glædesraab, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Kværnens Lyd og Lampens Skin,
11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve 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 Aar.
12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says YHWH, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
Men naar der er gaaet halvfjerdsindstyve Aar, hjemsøger jeg Babels Konge og Folket der for deres Misgerning, lyder det fra HERREN, ogsaa Kaldæernes Land hjemsøger jeg og gør det til evige Ørkener,
13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this scroll, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
og jeg opfylder paa 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 many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.'"
Thi ogsaa dem skal mange Folk og vældige Konger gøre til Trælle, og jeg gengælder dem deres Gerning og deres Hænders Værk.
15 For thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
Thi saaledes sagde HERREN, Israels Gud, til mig: »Tag dette Bæger med min Vredes Vin af min Haand og giv alle de Folk, jeg sender dig til, at drikke deraf;
16 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
de skal drikke og rave og rase for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt dem!«
17 Then took I the cup at YHWH's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom YHWH had sent me:
Og jeg tog Bægeret af HERRENS Haand og gav alle de Folk, han sendte mig til, at drikke deraf:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is 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 paa denne Dag;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, 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 the Uz, and all the kings 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 people of Ammon;
Edom, Moab og Ammoniterne;
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
alle Tyrus's og Zidons Konger og den fjerne strands Konger hinsides Havet;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
Dedan, Tema og Buz og alle dem med rundklippet Haar;
24 and all the kings of Arabia, [and all the kings of the mixed people] who dwell in the wilderness;
alle Arabernes Konger og alle Blandingsfolkets Konger, som bor i Ørkenen;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
alle Zimris Konger, alle Elams Konger og alle Mediens Konger;
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
alle Nordens Konger, nær og fjern, den ene efter den anden, alle Riger paa Jordens Overflade; og Kongen af Sjesjak skal drikke efter dem.
27 "You shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."'
Og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Drik, bliv drukne og spy, fald og rejs eder ikke mere for Sværdet, jeg sender iblandt eder!
28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "You shall surely drink.
Og hvis de vægrer sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Haand og drikke, skal du sige til dem: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Drikke skal I!
29 For, look, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,"' says YHWH of hosts.
Thi se, med den By, mit Navn er nævnet over, begynder jeg at handle ilde, og saa skulde I gaa fri! Nej, I gaar ikke fri; thi jeg kalder Sværdet hid mod alle dem, som bor paa Jorden, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, 'YHWH will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
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 Vinperserraabet over alle, som bor paa Jorden.
31 A noise shall come even to the remotest parts of the earth; for YHWH brings charges against the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,' says YHWH.
Drønet naar til Jordens Ende, thi HERREN gaar i Rette med Folkene; over alt Kød holder han Dom, de gudløse giver han til Sværdet, lyder det fra HERREN.
32 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, 'Look, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.'
Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, Ulykken gaar fra det ene Folk til det andet, et vældigt Vejr bryder løs fra Jordens Rand.
33 The slain of YHWH shall be on that day from all areas of the earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
HERRENS slagne skal paa 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 paa Marken.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in dust, you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly vessel.
Jamrer, I Hyrder, og skrig, I Hjordens ypperste, vælt jer i Støvet! Thi Tiden, I skal slagtes, er kommet, som en kostelig Skaal skal I splintres.
35 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Hyrderne finder ej Tilflugt, ej Hjordens ypperste Redning.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock. For YHWH lays waste their pasture.
Hør, hvor Hyrderne skriger, hvor Hjordens ypperste jamrer! Thi HERREN hærger deres Græsgange,
37 The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of YHWH.
og Fredens Vange lægges øde for HERRENS glødende Vrede;
38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment, because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."
Løven gaar bort fra sin Tykning, thi deres Land er lagt øde for det hærgende Sværd, for HERRENS glødende Vrede.
