Jeremiah 18
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:
2 Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.
»Gaa ned til Pottemagerens Hus! Der skal du faa mine Ord at høre.«
3 And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *Q(K)*) [was] doing work on the stones.
Saa gik jeg ned til Pottemagerens Hus, og se, han var i Arbejde ved Drejeskiven.
4 And it was spoiled the vessel which he [was] making with the clay in [the] hand of the potter and he would return and he made it a vessel another just as it was pleasing in [the] eyes of the potter to do.
Og naar et Kar, han arbejdede paa, mislykkedes, som det kan gaa med Leret i Pottemagerens Haand, begyndte han igen og lavede det om til et andet, som han nu vilde have det gjort.
5 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Da kom HERRENS Ord til mig:
6 ¿ Like the potter this not am I able to do to you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh here! like the clay in [the] hand of the potter so you [are] in hand my O house of Israel.
Skulde jeg ikke kunne gøre med eder, Israels Hus, som denne Pottemager? lyder det fra HERREN. Se, som Leret i Pottemagerens Haand er I i min Haand, Israels Hus.
7 A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.
Snart truer jeg et Folk og et Rige med at rykke det op, nedbryde og ødelægge det;
8 And it will turn away the nation that from evil its which I had spoken on it and I will relent on the calamity which I had planned to do to it.
men naar det Folk, jeg har truet, omvender sig fra sin Ondskab, angrer jeg det onde, jeg tænkte at gøre det.
9 And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.
Og snart lover jeg et Folk og et Rige at opbygge og plante det;
10 And it will do (the evil *Q(K)*) in view my to not to listen to voice my and I will relent on the good which I had said to do good to it.
men gør det saa, hvad der er ondt i mine Øjne, idet det ikke hører min Røst, angrer jeg det gode, jeg havde lovet at gøre det.
11 And therefore say please to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh here! I [am] about to fashion on you calamity and [am] about to plan on you a plan turn back please everyone from way his wicked and make good ways your and deeds your.
Og sig nu til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere: Saa siger HERREN: Se, jeg skaber eder en Ulykke og udtænker et Raad imod eder; vend derfor om, hver fra sin onde Vej, og bedrer eders Veje og eders Gerninger.
12 And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.
Men de svarer: »Nej! Vi vil følge vore egne Tanker og gøre hver efter sit onde Hjertes Stivsind.«
13 Therefore thus he says Yahweh ask please among the nations who? has he heard like these [things] a horrible [thing] she has done exceedingly [the] virgin of Israel.
Derfor, saa siger HERREN: Spørg dog rundt blandt Folkene: Hvo hørte mon sligt? Grufulde Ting har hun øvet, Israels Jomfru.
14 ¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.
Forlader Libanons Sne den Almægtiges Klippe, eller udtørres Bjergenes kølige, rislende Vande,
15 For they have forgotten me people my to falsehood they make smoke and they have caused to stumble them in ways their paths of antiquity to walk paths a way not built up.
siden mit Folk har glemt mig og ofrer til Løgn? De snubler paa deres Veje, de ældgamle Spor, og vandrer ad Stier, en Vej, der ikke er højnet,
16 To make land their into a waste (whistling of *Q(K)*) perpetuity every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may wag with head his.
for at gøre deres Land til Gru, til evig Spot; hver farende Mand skal grue og ryste paa Hovedet.
17 Like a wind of [the] east I will scatter them before an enemy back and not face I will show them on [the] day of disaster their.
Som en Østenstorm splitter jeg dem for Fjendens Ansigt, jeg viser dem Ryg, ej Aasyn paa Vanheldets Dag.
18 And people said come so let us plan on Jeremiah plans for not it will be lost instruction from [the] priest and counsel from [the] wise and word from [the] prophet come and let us attack him with the tongue and may not we pay attention to all words his.
De sagde: »Kom, vi spinder Rænker imod Jeremias! Thi ej glipper Loven for Præsten, ej Raadet for den vise, ej Ordet for Profeten. Kom, lad os slaa ham med Tungen og lure paa alle hans Ord!«
19 Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.
Lyt, o Herre, til mig og hør min Modparts Ord!
20 ¿ Will it be repaid in place of good evil for they have dug a pit for self my remember - standing my before you to speak on them good to turn back rage your from them.
Skal godt gengældes med ondt? De grov jo min Sjæl en Grav. Kom i Hu, at jeg stod for dit Aasyn for at tale til Bedste for dem og vende din Vrede fra dem!
21 Therefore give children their to famine and pour them over [the] hands of [the] sword so they may become wives their childless and widows and men their may they be [the] slain of death young men their [those] struck down of [the] sword in battle.
Giv derfor deres Sønner til Hunger, styrt dem i Sværdets Vold; Barnløshed og Enkestand ramme deres Kvinder, deres Mænd vorde slagne af Døden, deres ungdom sværdslagne i Krig;
22 May it be heard a cry of distress from houses their if you will bring on them a marauding band suddenly for they have dug (a pit *Q(K)*) to capture me and snares they have hidden for feet my.
lad der høres et Skrig fra Husene, naar du lader en Mordbande brat komme over dem. Thi de grov en Grav for at fange mig og lagde Snarer for min Fod.
23 And you O Yahweh you know all plan their on me for death may not you atone on iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not you wipe out (and let them be *Q(K)*) overthrown before you in [the] time of anger your do with them.
Ja du, o HERRE, du kender alle deres Dødsraad imod mig. Tilgiv ikke deres Brøde, slet ikke deres Synd for dit Aasyn, lad dem komme til Fald for dit Aasyn, faa med dig at gøre i din Vredes Stund!
