Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah, is written With a stylus of iron, With the point of a diamond: It is engraved Upon the tablet of their heart, And upon the horns of your altars;
Optegnet er Judas Synd med med griffel af jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og på deres Altres Horn,
2 So long as their sons remember their altars, and their Sacred Stems, By the green tree, —Upon the high hills,
når Sønnerne kommner deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, på alle grønne Træer, på de høje Steder,
3 O my mountain in the field Thy substance all thy treasures, for a prey, will I give: Thy high places for sin, within all thy bounds.
på Bjergene på Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, så langt dine Grænser når.
4 So shalt thou even of thyself, suffer to rest the inheritance which I gave thee, Seeing that I will cause thee to serve thine enemies, in the land which thou knowest not; For, a fire, have ye kindled in mine anger, Unto times age-abiding, shall it burn.
Din Hånd må slippe din Arvelod, den, jeg gav dig. Jeg lader dig, trælle for Fjender i et ukendt Land, thi Ild luer op i min Vrede, den brænder evigt.
5 Thus, saith Yahweh Accursed is the man—Who trusteth in a son of earth, And hath made flesh his arm, —And whose heart from Yahweh, turneth aside:
Så siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler på Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6 Therefore shall he become as a shrub in the waste plain, Neither shall he perceive when good cometh, But shall inhabit Parched places in a wilderness, A land of salt that cannot be dwelt in.
Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og får ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7 Blessed is the man Who trusteth in Yahweh, To whom Yahweh is his ground of confidence;
Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler på HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8 For he shall become like a tree planted by waters, And, by a stream, shall he send out his roots, Neither shall he perceive when heat cometh, But, his leaf shall continue green: Even in a year of dearth, shall he not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from bearing fruit.
Han bliver somn et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand, og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, når Heden komnmer, hvis Løv er frodig grønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens År eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
9 Deceitful is the heart above all things And, dangerously wayward, —Who can know it?
Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10 I—Yahweh, Searching the heart, Testing the affections; And giving to every man According to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11 As a partridge gathereth eggs she did not lay, [So] is he that maketh riches but not with justice, —In the midst of his days, shall he leave them, And in his latter end, prove to have been base.
Som en Agerhømme på Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han må slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slår ved sin Død som en Dåre.
12 A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, hath been the place of our sanctuary.
En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13 Thou hope of Israel Yahweh, All who forsake thee, shall turn pale, —Yea, all who depart from me, in the ground, shall be written, For they have forsaken a fountain of living water, even Yahweh.
HERRE, du Israels Håb, enhver, der forlader dig, får Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, er Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
14 Heal thou me O Yahweh, that I may be healed, Save me that I may be saved, —For, my praise, thou art!
Læg mig, HERRE, så jeg læges, frels du mig, så jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15 Lo! they, are saying unto me, —Where is the word of Yahweh? Pray thee let it come to pass!
Se, de andre siger til mig: "Hvor er HERRENs Ord? Lad det konmme!"
16 But as for me, I have neither forced myself away from tending the flock after thee, Nor yet for the woeful day, have I longed—thou, knowest, —That which came out of my lips, before thy face, was uttered.
Jeg vægred mig ej ved at være Hyrde i dit Spor", begæred ej heller Ulykkens Dag, du ved det; hvad der udgik fra mine Læber, er for dit Åsyn.
17 Do not thou become to me a terror, —My refuge, art thou, in the day of calamity.
Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt på Ullykkens Dag.
18 Let my persecutors, turn pale, but let not me, turn pale, Let, them, be terrified, but let not, me, be terrified, —Bring thou upon them a day of calamity, And with a double fracture, destroy them.
Lad Forfølgerne beskæmmes, lad ej mig beskæmmes, lad dem forfærdes, lad ej mig forfærdes; send over dem Ulykkens Dag, knus dem og gentag Slaget!
19 Thus, said Yahweh unto me—Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter in, and through which they come out, —also in all the gates of Jerusalem.
Således sagde HERREN til mig: Gå hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger går ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalemns Porte
20 Then shalt thou say unto them—Hear ye the word of Yahweh Ye kings of Judah and all Judah, And all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, —who enter in through these gates:
og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som går ind ad disse Porte!
21 Thus, saith Yahweh, Take heed unto your souls, —And do not bear any burden on the sabbath day, Nor bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem, —
Så siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen!
22 Neither shall ye take forth any burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, Nor any manner of work, shall ye do, —But ye shall hallow the sabbath day, As I commanded your fathers.
Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse på Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbalsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23 Howbeit they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, —but stiffened their neck, that they might not hearken, neither receive correction.
De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24 And it shall come to pass, —If ye will, indeed hearken, unto me Declareth Yahweh, To bring in no burden through the gates of this city, on the sabbath day, —But to hallow the sabbath day, by not doing thereon any manner of work,
Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, så I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte på Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde på den,
25 Then shall enter in through the gates of this city, Kings and princes Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses They, and their princes, The men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city shall remain unto times age-abiding.
så skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder på Davids Trone, drage ind ad denne Bys Porte med Vogne og Heste, de og deres Fyrster, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere, og denne By skal stå til evig Tid.
26 And they shall come in—Out of the cities of Judah and Out of the places round about Jerusalem, and Out of the land of Benjamin, and Out of the lowlands, and out of the hill country, and Out of the South, Bringing in ascending-offering, and peace-offering, and meal-offering, and frankincense, —Even they who bring in a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh,
Og fra Judas Byer, fra Jerusalems Omegn, fra Benjamins Land, fra Lavlandet, Bjergene og Sydlandet skal man komme og bringe Brændoffer, Slagtoffer, Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse og Takoffer til HERRENs Hus.
27 But, if ye will not hearken unto me—To hallow the sabbath day, And to bear no burden and bring in through the gates of Jerusalem, on the sabbath day, Then will I kindle a fire within her gates, And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, And shall not be quenched.
Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen, så sætter jeg Ild på dets Porle, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
