Jeremiah 11
1 This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren, saa lydende:
2 “Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].
Hører denne Pagts Ord, og taler til Judas Mænd og til Jerusalems Indbyggere!
3 Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.
Og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger Herren, Israels Gud: Forbandet være den Mand, som ikke adlyder denne Pagts Ord,
4 It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.
hvilken jeg bød eders Fædre paa den Dag, da jeg udførte dem af Ægyptens Land, fra Jernovnen, sigende: Adlyder min Røst, og gører disse Ting efter alt det, som jeg byder eder, saa skulle I være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud,
5 [Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”
paa det jeg kan stadfæste den Ed, som jeg svor eders Fædre, at jeg vilde give dem et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning, som det ses paa denne Dag; og jeg svarede og sagde: Amen, Herre!
6 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.
Og Herren sagde til mig: Udraab alle disse Ord i Judas Stæder og paa Gaderne i Jerusalem, og sig: Hører denne Pagts Ord, og gører derefter!
7 When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.
Thi jeg vidnede højt for eders Fædre paa den Dag, jeg førte dem op af Ægyptens Land, indtil denne Dag, tidligt og ideligt, sigende: Adlyder min Røst!
8 But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”
Men de adløde ikke og bøjede ikke heller deres Øre, men hver vandrede i sit onde Hjertes Stivhed; og over dem lod jeg komme alle denne Pagts Ord, som jeg havde befalet at gøre efter, men som de ikke gjorde.
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.
Og Herren sagde til mig: Der findes en Sammensværgelse iblandt Judas Mænd og iblandt Jerusalems Indbyggere.
10 Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.
De have vendt om til at begaa Misgerninger som deres Forfædre, der vægrede sig ved at adlyde mine Ord, og de have vandret efter andre Guder for at tjene dem; Israels Hus og Judas Hus have brudt min Pagt, som jeg gjorde med deres Fædre.
11 So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.
Derfor siger Herren saaledes: Jeg lader en Ulykke komme paa dem, fra hvilken de ikke skulle kunne undkomme; og de skulle raabe til mig, og jeg skal ikke bønhøre dem.
12 When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.
Og Judas Stæder og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem skulle gaa og raabe til de Guder, for hvilke de gjorde Røgelse; men de skulle ikke frelse dem i deres Ulykkes Tid.
13 There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.
Thi saa mange som dine Stæder ere, saa mange ere dine Guder, Juda! og saa mange Gader, som der er i Jerusalem, saa mange Altre have I opsat til Skændsel, Altre til at gøre Røgelse for Baal.
14 Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”
Og du maa ikke bede for dette Folk og ikke opløfte Skrig eller Bøn for dem; thi jeg vil ikke høre paa den Tid, naar de raabe paa mig over deres Ulykke.
15 Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.
Hvad er der for min elskelige i mit Hus? At de store øve det, som er Skændighed og lade det hellige Kød gaa bort fra dig; thi naar dit Onde kommer, da fryde du dig!
16 I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.
Herren kaldte dit Navn et grønt Olietræ, smukt ved dejlig Frugt; med stort Bulders Lyd har han antændt en Ild om det, og de have sønderbrudt dets Grene.
17 [It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”
Og den Herre Zebaoth, som plantede dig, har talt ondt over dig, for Israels Hus's og Judas Hus's Ondskabs Skyld, som de bedreve for at opirre mig, idet de gjorde Røgelse for Baal.
18 Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.
Og Herren lod mig det vide, saa jeg ved det; dengang lod du mig se deres Idrætter.
19 [Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].
Og jeg var som et tamt Lam, der føres hen at slagtes, og jeg vidste ikke, at de havde optænkt Anslag imod mig og sagt: Lader os ødelægge Træet med dets Frugt og udrydde ham af de levendes Land, at hans Navn ikke ydermere ihukommes.
20 [Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Men, Herre Zebaoth, du retfærdige Dommer, som prøver Nyrer og Hjerte! jeg skal se din Hævn paa dem: Thi dig har jeg forelagt min Sag.
21 It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.
Derfor siger Herren saaledes om de Mænd i Anathoth, som søge efter dit Liv og sige: Spaa ikke i Herrens Navn, saa skal du ikke dø ved vor Haand;
22 So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.
ja, derfor siger den Herre Zebaoth saaledes: Se, jeg vil hjemsøge dem; deres unge Karle skulle dø ved Sværdet, deres Sønner og deres Døtre skulle dø ved Hunger;
23 I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
og intet skal blive tilovers af dem; thi jeg vil lade Ulykke komme over de Mænd i Anathoth i deres Hjemsøgelses Aar.
