Jeremiah 2
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig, idet han sagde:
2 Go and you will proclaim in [the] ears of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh I remember to you [the] covenant loyalty of youth your [the] love of betrothal your walking you after me in the wilderness in a land not sown.
Gak hen, og raab for Jerusalems Øren og sig: Saa siger Herren: Jeg ihukommer dig din Ungdoms Hengivenhed og din Trolovelsesstands Kærlighed, at du gik efter mig i Ørken, i Landet, som ikke var besaaet.
3 [was] a holy thing Israel to Yahweh [the] beginning of (produce his *Q(K)*) all [those who] devour it they will be held guilty calamity it will come to them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Israel var Herrens Helligdom, hans Førstegrøde; alle, som vilde fortære ham, bleve skyldige, Ulykke kom over dem, siger Herren.
4 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O house of Jacob and all [the] clans of [the] house of Israel.
Hører Herrens Ord, Jakobs Hus og alle Israels Huses Slægter!
5 Thus - he says Yahweh what? did they find ancestors your in me injustice that they became distant from with me and they walked after vanity and they became vain.
Saa siger Herren: Hvad Uret have eders Fædre fundet hos mig, at de have holdt sig langt fra mig? og at de vandrede efter Forfængelighed og bleve til Forfængelighed?
6 And not they said where? [is] Yahweh who brought up us from [the] land of Egypt who led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit in a land dry and deep darkness in a land [which] not he has passed in it anyone and not he has dwelt anyone there.
Og de sagde ikke: Hvor er Herren, han, som førte os op af Ægyptens Land, han, som ledede os i Ørken, i et Land, som var øde og fuldt af Huller, i Tørheds og Dødens Skygges Land, i et Land, som ingen havde vandret igennem, og hvor intet Menneske havde boet?
7 And I brought you into [the] land of the orchard to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its and you came and you made unclean land my and inheritance my you made into an abomination.
Og jeg førte eder ind udi et frugtbart Land, at I skulde æde dets Frugt og dets Gode; men der I kom derind, da besmittede I mit Land og gjorde min Arv til en Vederstyggelighed.
8 The priests not they said where? [is] Yahweh and [those who] handled the law not they knew me and the shepherds they rebelled against me and the prophets they prophesied by Baal and after [things which] not they profited they walked.
Præsterne sagde ikke: Hvor er Herren? og de, som omgikkes med Loven, kendte mig ikke, og Hyrderne gjorde Overtrædelse imod mig; og Profeterne spaaede ved Baal og vandrede efter dem, der ikke kunde gavne.
9 Therefore again I will contend with you [the] utterance of Yahweh and with [the] children of children your I will contend.
Derfor maa jeg endnu trætte med eder, siger Herren, og med eders Børnebørn maa jeg trætte.
10 For pass over [the] coasts of Cyprus and see and Kedar send and consider carefully exceedingly and see there! it has happened like this.
Thi drager over til Kithims Øer, og ser til og sender Bud til Kedar, og lægger nøje Mærke og ser, om noget saadant er sket.
11 ¿ Has it exchanged a nation gods and they not [are] gods and people my it has exchanged glory its for [that which] not it profits.
Mon et Hedningefolk har skiftet Guder, som dog ikke vare Guder? men mit Folk har omskiftet sin Herlighed med det, som ikke kan gavne.
12 Be appalled O heaven on this and shudder be desolate exceedingly [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Gyser over det, I Himle! og vorder forfærdede, ja vorder saare forskrækkede, siger Herren.
13 That two evil things it has done people my me they have forsaken a spring of - water living to dig for themselves cisterns cisterns broken which not they contain water.
Thi tvende onde Ting har mit Folk gjort: Mig, den levende Vandkilde, have de forladt for at hugge sig Brønde, revnede Brønde, som ikke kunde holde Vand.
14 ¿ A slave [is] Israel or? one born of [the] household [is] it why? has it become plunder.
Er Israel en købt Træl, eller er han en hjemfødt Træl? hvorfor er han bleven til Bytte?
15 On it they have been roaring young lions they have given voice their and they have made land its into a waste cities its (they are burnt *Q(K)*) because not inhabitant.
Unge Løver brølede imod ham, de lode deres Røst høre, og de gjorde hans Land til en Ødelæggelse, hans Stæder ere opbrændte, at ingen bor deri.
16 Also [the] people of Memphis (and Tahpanhes *Q(k)*) they will graze you scalp.

18 And therefore what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Egypt to drink [the] water of [the] Shihor and what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Assyria to drink [the] water of [the] River.

19 It will punish you wickedness your and apostasies your they will rebuke you and know and see that [is] evil and bitter forsaking you Yahweh God your and not awe of me [is] with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Din Ondskab skal tugte dig og dine Afvigelser straffe dig; vid da og se, at det er ondt og besk, at du har forladt Herren din Gud, og at Frygt for mig ikke er hos dig, siger Herren, den Herre Zebaoth.
20 That from long ago I broke off yoke your I tore off fetters your and you said not (I will transgress *Q(K)*) for on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant you [have been] lying down a prostitute.
Thi jeg har fra fordums Tid sønderbrudt dit Aag, sønderrevet dine Baand, men du sagde: Jeg vil ikke tjene; thi du gav dig hen paa alle ophøjede Høje og under hvert grønt Træ som en Skøge.
21 And I I had planted you a choice vine all of it [was] seed of reliability and how? have you changed yourself to me [the] degenerate [ones] of the vine alien.
Og jeg har plantet dig som ædle Vinkviste, ægte Planter til Hobe; hvorledes har du da forvendt dig for mig til Ranker af et fremmed Vintræ?
22 That though you will wash with soda so you may increase for yourself soap [is] stained iniquity your before me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Thi om du end vilde to dig med Lud og tage dig megen Sæbe, saa pletter din Misgerning dig dog for mit Ansigt, siger den Herre, Herre.
23 How? will you say not I have made myself unclean after the Baals not I have walked consider conduct your in the valley recognize what? have you done a young camel swift entwining paths its.
Hvorledes kan du sige: Jeg er ikke uren, jeg vandrer ikke efter Baalerne? se hen til din Gang i Dalen, kend, hvad du har gjort, du lette Kamelhoppe! der løber hid og did paa egne Veje,
24 A wild donkey - accustomed to a wilderness in [the] lust of (self its *Q(K)*) it sniffs [the] wind heat its who? will he turn back it all [those who] seek it not they will grow weary in month its they will find it.

25 Restrain foot your from barefoot (and throat your *Q(K)*) from thirst and you said despairing In-deed I love strange [gods] and after them I will walk.
„Hold din Fod tilbage fra at blive barfodet og din Strube fra at blive tørstig‟; men du siger: Det er forgæves! Nej! thi jeg elsker fremmede, og efter dem vil jeg gaa.
26 Like [the] shame of a thief if he is found so they have been put to shame [the] house of Israel they kings their officials their and priests their and prophets their.
Ligesom en Tyv bliver til Skamme, naar han gribes, saa ere de af Israels Hus blevne til Skamme, de, deres Konger, deres Fyrster og deres Præster og deres Profeter,
27 [who] say To wood [are] father my you and to stone you (you gave birth to us *Q(K)*) for they have turned to me a back and not a face and at [the] time of calamity their they will say arise! and save us.
som sige til Træ: Du er min Fader, og til Sten: Du fødte mig; thi de have vendt Ryg til mig og ikke Ansigt; men i deres Ulykkes Tid sige de: Staa op og frels os!
28 And where? [are] gods your which you made for yourself let them arise if they will save you at [the] time of calamity your for [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah.
Hvor ere dine Guder, som du har gjort dig? lad dem staa op, om de kunne frelse dig i din Ulykkes Tid; thi saa mange som dine Stæder ere, vare dine Guder, Juda!
29 Why? do you contend against me all of you you have rebelled against me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Hvorfor ville I trætte med mig? I have alle gjort Overtrædelse imod mig, siger Herren.
30 For vanity I struck sons your correction not they accepted it devoured sword your prophets your like a lion destroying.
Jeg slog eders Børn forgæves, de annammede ikke Tugt; eders Sværd fortærede eders Profeter ligesom en ødelæggende Løve.
31 O generation you consider [the] word of Yahweh ¿ a wilderness have I been to Israel or? a land of darkness why? have they said people my we have roamed not we will come again to you.
O Slægt, som I ere, ser hen til Herrens Ord! Er jeg bleven Israel til en Ørk eller til et Mørkheds Land? hvorfor sagde da mit Folk: Vi have gjort os frie, vi ville ikke mere komme til dig.
32 ¿ Will she forget a virgin ornament[s] her a bride sashes her and people my they have forgotten me days there not [is] number.
Mon en Jomfru glemmer sin Prydelse, en Brud sine Hovedbaand? men mit Folk har glemt mig utallige Dage.
33 How! you make good way your to seek love therefore also wicked women (you have taught *Q(K)*) ways your.
Hvor godt ved du dog at vælge din Vej for at søge Kærlighed, derfor har du ogsaa lært dine Veje at kende det onde.
34 Also on skirts your they were found [the] blood of [the] lives of needy [people] innocent not in breaking in you found them for on all these [things].
Tilmed findes paa dine Flige de arme uskyldige Sjæles Blod; du har ikke grebet dem, der de brøde ind, men det var for alle disse Tings Skyld.
35 And you said that I am innocent surely it has turned back anger his from me here I [am] about to enter into judgment with with you because saying you not I have sinned.
Og dog sagde du: Jeg er uskyldig, hans Vrede har vendt sig fra mig; se, jeg vil gaa i Rette med dig, fordi du siger: Jeg har ikke syndet.
36 Why? do you treat lightly exceedingly to change way your also from Egypt you will be ashamed just as you were ashamed from Assyria.
Hvorfor løber du saa ivrigt bort for at omskifte din Vej? ogsaa ved Ægypten skal du blive til Skamme, ligesom du blev til Skamme ved Assyrien.
37 Also from with this [one] you will go out and hands your [will be] on head your for he has rejected Yahweh objects of confidence your and not you will prosper to them.
Ogsaa derfra skal du gaa ud, med Hænderne over dit Hoved; thi Herren forkaster dem, til hvilke du satte Lid, og du skal ikke faa Lykke ved dem.
