Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Herrens ord kom anden gang til Jeremias, medens han endnu sad fængslet i Vagtforgården, således:
2 "Thus says YHWH who made the earth, and who formed it to establish it; YHWH is his name:
Så siger HERREN, som skabte Jorden og dannede den, idet han grundfæstede den, han, hvis Navn er HERREN:
3 'Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and hidden things, which you do not know.'
Kald på mig, så vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige Ting, du ikke kender.
4 For thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword;
Thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud, om denne Bys Huse og om Judas Kongers Huse, som nedbrødes for at bruges til Volde og Mur,
5 while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
da man gav sig til at stride imod Kaldæerne, og som fyldtes med Ligene af de Mennesker, jeg slog i min Vrede og Harme, og for hvem jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for al deres Ondskabs Skyld:
6 'Look, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
Se, jeg vil lade Byens Sår heles og læges, og jeg helbreder dem og oplader for dem en Rigdom af Fred og Sandhed.
7 I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Jeg vender Judas og Israels Skæbne og opbygger dem som tilforn.
8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me.
Jeg renser dem for al deres Brøde, med hvilken de syndede imod mig, og tilgiver alle deres Misgerninger, med hvilke de syndede og forbrød sig imod mig.
9 This city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it.'
Byen skal blive til Glæde, til Pris og Ære blandt alle Jordens Folk; og når de hører om alt det gode, jeg gør den, skal de frygte og bæve over alt det gode og al den Lykke, jeg lader den times.
10 "Thus says YHWH: 'Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, "It is waste, without man and without animal," even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,
Så siger HERREN: På dette Sted, som I siger er ødelagt, uden Mennesker og Kvæg, i Judas Byer og på Jerusalems Gader, der er lagt øde, uden Mennesker og kvæg,
11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, "Give thanks to YHWH of hosts, for YHWH is good, for his loving kindness endures forever; who bring thanksgiving into the house of YHWH." For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first,' says YHWH.
skal atter høres Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Råb af Folk, som siger: "Tak Hærskarers HERRE; thi HERREN er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" og som bringer Takoffer til HERRENs Hus; thi jeg vender Landets Skæbne, så det bliver som tilforn, siger HERREN.
12 Thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: På dette ødelagte Sted, som er uden Mennesker og Kvæg, og i alle dets Byer skal der atter være Græsgange, hvor Hyrder lader deres Hjorde ligge;
13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him who numbers them,' says YHWH.
i Bjerglandets, Lavlandets og Sydlandets Byer, i Benjamins land, i Jerusalems Omegn og i Judas Byer skal Småkvæget atter gå forbi under Tællerens Hånd, siger HERREN.
14 'Look, the days come,' says YHWH, 'that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg opfylder den Forjættelse, jeg udtalte om Israels og Judas Hus.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
I hine Dage og til hin Tid lader jeg en Retfærds Spire fremspire for David, og han skal øve Ret og Retfærd i Landet.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name by which she shall be called: "YHWH our righteousness."
I hine Dage skal Juda frelses og Jerusalem bo trygt, og man skal kalde det: HERREN vor Retfærdighed.
17 For thus says YHWH: "David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;
Thi så siger HERREN: David skal ikke fattes en Mand til at sidde på Israels Huss Trone.
18 neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."'"
Og Levitpræsterne skal aldrig fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn og frembære Brændoffer, brænde Afgrødeoffer og ofre Slagtoffer.
19 The word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
20 "Thus says YHWH: 'If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;
Så siger HERREN Hvis min Pagt med Dagen og Natten brydes, så det ikke bliver Dag og Nat, når Tid er inde,
21 then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
da skal også min Pagt med min Tjener David brydes, så han ikke har nogen Søn til at sidde som Konge på sin Trone, og med Levitpræsterne, som tjener mig.
22 As the host of heaven can't be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.'"
Som Himmelens Hær ikke kan tælles og Havets Sand ikke måles, således vil jeg mangfoldiggøre min Tjener Davids Afkom og Leviterne, som tjener mig.
23 The word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom til Jeremias således:
24 "Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, 'The two families which YHWH chose, he has cast them off?' Thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Har du ikke lagt Mærke til, hvorledes dette Folk siger: "De to Slægter, HERREN udvalgte, har han forkastet!" Og de smæder mit Folk, fordi det i deres Øjne ikke 1ner er et Folk.
25 Thus says YHWH: 'If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Så siger HERREN: Hvis jeg ikke har fastsat min Pagt med Dag og Nat, givet Love for Himmel og Jord,
26 then will I also cast away the descendants of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.'"
så vil jeg også forkaste Jakobs Afkom og min Tjener David og ikke af hans Afkom tage Herskere oer Abrabams, Isaks og Jakobs Afkom; thi jeg vender deres Skæbne og forbarmer mig over dem.
