Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
Og Paskur, Immers Søn, Præsten, som var Overopsynsmand i Herrens Hus, hørte Jeremias spaa disse Ord.
2 [So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
Og Paskur slog Profeten Jeremias og lagde ham i Blokken, som var ved Benjamins øverste Port paa Herrens Hus.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
Og det skete den anden Dag, da lod Paskur Jeremias komme ud af Blokken; og Jeremias sagde til ham: Herren har ikke kaldet dit Navn Paskur, men Magor-Missabib.
4 because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
Thi saa siger Herren: Se, jeg vil gøre dig til Rædsel for dig selv og for alle dine Venner, og de skulle falde for deres Fjenders Sværd, og dine Øjne skulle se det; og jeg vil give al Juda i Kongen af Babels Haand, og han skal bortføre dem til Babel og slaa dem med Sværdet.
5 And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
Og jeg vil give alt Gods i denne Stad og alt Udbytte af dens Arbejde og alle dens Kostbarheder, ja, alle Judas Kongers Skatte vil jeg give i deres Fjenders Haand, at de skulle røve dem og tage dem og føre dem til Babel.
6 And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
Og du, Paskur, og alle de, som bo i dit Hus, skulle bo i Fangenskab; og du skal komme til Babel, og der skal du dø og begraves der, du og alle dine Venner, for hvilke du har spaaet Løgn.
7 [One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
Herre! du har overtalt mig, og jeg lod mig overtale, du har været mig for stærk og fik Overhaand; jeg er bleven til Latter den ganske Dag, hver Mand spotter mig.
8 When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
Thi naar jeg taler, maa jeg skrige, raabe om Vold og Mishandling; thi Herrens Ord er blevet, mig til Spot og Haan den ganske Dag.
9 But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
Vel har jeg sagt: Jeg vil ikke komme ham i Hu og ej tale mere i hans Navn; men det er blevet i mit Hjerte som en brændende Ild, der er indesluttet i mine Ben, og jeg har søgt med Møje at holde det ud; men jeg kunde ikke.
10 I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
Thi jeg har hørt manges ondskabsfulde Tale, der er Rædsel trindt omkring, de sige: Angiver! saa ville vi angive ham; alle de Mænd, som skulde holde Fred med mig, tage Vare paa, om jeg haltede, og sige: Han maatte maaske lade sig forlede, at vi kunde faa Overhaand over ham og hævne os paa ham.
11 But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
Men Herren er med mig som en vældig Helt, derfor skulle mine Forfølgere snuble og ikke faa Overhaand; de skulle vorde saare beskæmmede, thi de have ikke handlet forstandigt, til en evig Skam, som ikke skal glemmes.
12 Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Og du, Herre Zebaoth, som prøver den retfærdige, og som ser Nyrer og Hjerte! jeg skal se din Hævn paa dem; thi til dig har jeg overdraget min Sag.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
Synger for Herren, lover Herren; thi han har udfriet den elendiges Sjæl af de ondes Haand.
14 But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
Forbandet være den Dag, paa hvilken jeg blev født; den Dag, paa hvilken min Moder fødte mig, vorde ikke velsignet!
15 And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
Forbandet være den Mand, som bragte min Fader et godt Budskab og sagde: Dig er født et Drengebarn, og som glædede ham saare!
16 Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
Og den Mand skal vorde som de Stæder, hvilke Herren omstyrtede og ikke angrede det, og han skal høre Raab om Morgenen og Krigsskrig ved Middagstid,
17 [I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
fordi jeg ej blev dræbt i Moders Liv, saa at min Moder blev min Grav, og hendes Liv vedblev at være frugtsommeligt evindelig.
18 I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
Hvorfor gik jeg ud af Moders Liv for at se Møje og Sorg, og for at mine Dage skulle endes med Skam?
