Jeremiah 25
1 After Jehoiakim had been ruling Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave me this message for all the people of Judah. It was during the year that King Nebuchadnezzar started to rule in Babylon.
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias over alt Judas Folk, i Jojakims, Josias's Søns, Judas Konges fjerde Aar; det er Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babels første Aar;
2 I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:
hvilket Profeten Jeremias talte til alt Judas Folk og til alle Indbyggere i Jerusalem, sigende:
3 “Yahweh has been giving me messages for 23 years. He started giving me messages when Josiah, the son of Amon, had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. And I have faithfully told you those messages, but you have not paid any attention to them.
Fra Josias's, Amons Søns, Judas Konges trettende Aar og indtil denne Dag, hvilket nu er tre og tyve Aar, er Herrens Ord kommet til mig; og jeg talte til eder tidligt og ideligt, og I have ikke hørt.
4 Many times Yahweh has sent to you the prophets who served him, but you have not listened to them or paid any attention to what they said.
Og Herren har sendt til eder alle sine Tjenere, Profeterne, tidligt og ideligt, og I have ikke hørt og ikke bøjet eders Øre til at høre;
5 Each time their message was this: ‘Turn from all your evil behavior [MET], from all the evil things that you have continually been doing. If you do that, you will be able to stay in this land that Yahweh gave to you and to your ancestors, [to belong to you] forever.
idet de sagde: Omvender eder dog, hver fra sin onde Vej og fra sine Idrætters Ondskab, saa skulle I bo i Landet, som Herren gav eders Fædre, fra Evighed indtil Evighed;
6 Do not cause Yahweh to become angry by serving and worshiping idols that you have made with your hands. If you do not cause him to be angry, he will not punish/harm you.’
og vandrer ikke efter andre Guder for at tjene dem og for at tilbede dem; og I skulle ikke opirre mig med eders Hænders Gerning, at jeg ikke skal gøre eder ondt.
7 And Yahweh says, ‘But you would not pay attention to the messages that I [gave to those prophets]. You caused me to become extremely angry by [your worshiping idols] that you had made with your own hands. That resulted in my punishing you.
Men I hørte mig ikke, siger Herren, for at opirre mig med eders Hænders Gerning, til eders Ulykke.
8 So [now, I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that because you have not paid attention to what I said,
Derfor siger den Herre Zebaoth saaledes: Efterdi I ikke have hørt mine Ord,
9 I will gather all [the armies of] the nations that will come from the northeast. I have appointed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lead them. I have appointed him to do my work for me. I will bring those [armies] to attack this land and nearby countries. I will completely destroy them, and cause them to be places that people are horrified about, and that people will (ridicule/act contemptuously toward), places that will be ruined forever.
se, saa sender jeg Bud og henter alle Nordens Slægter, siger Herren, ogsaa til Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, min Tjener, og jeg vil lade dem komme over dette Land og over dets Indbyggere og over alle disse Folk trindt omkring; og jeg vil ødelægge dem og gøre dem til en Forfærdelse og til en Spot og til evige Ørkener.
10 I will cause happy singing and laughing to cease in your land. There will no longer be brides and bridegrooms talking [joyfully]. There will not be the sound of people grinding [grain] with millstones. There will be no lamps lit [in your houses].
Og jeg vil bringe Fryds Røst og Glædes Røst, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Møllens Lyd og Lampens Skin til at høre op hos dem.
11 All of this land will become a desert where no one will live. And [the people of] Israel and of the nearby countries will [will be exiled to Babylonia and] (work for/be slaves of) the kings of Babylon for seventy years.
Og hele dette Land skal blive til en Ørk og til Forfærdelse; og disse Folk skulle tjene Kongen af Babel halvfjerdsindstyve Aar.
12 Then, after [they have been in Babylonia for] seventy years, I will punish the King of Babylonia and his people for the sins that they have committed. I will cause Babylonia to become a wasteland/desert forever.
Og det skal ske, naar halvfjerdsindstyve Aar ere omme, da vil jeg hjemsøge Kongen af Babel og dette Folk, siger Herren, for deres Misgerning, samt Kaldæernes Land, og jeg vil gøre det til evige Ødelæggelser.
13 I will cause them to experience all the terrible things that Jeremiah has written about—all the punishments that he predicted will happen to all those nations.
Og over dette Land vil jeg lade alle mine Ord komme, som jeg har talt imod det: Alt det, som er skrevet i denne Bog, det, som Jeremias har spaaet over alle Folkene.
14 The leaders of many nations will cause the people of Babylonia to become their slaves, like the people of Babylonia caused my people to become slaves. I will punish them like they deserve for [having caused my people to suffer].’”
Thi ogsaa dem skulle mange Folkeslag og store Konger gøre til Trælle; og jeg vil betale dem efter deres Fortjeneste og efter deres Hænders Gerning.
15 Then Yahweh, the God [we] Israelis [worship], gave me [a vision. In the vision he was holding a cup of wine]. He said, “Take from me this cup that is full of [wine that represents] punishment [MTY]. I will cause all [the leaders of] the nations to which I will send you to drink [some of] the wine in this cup.
Thi saa sagde Herren, Israels Gud, til mig: Tag Bægeret med denne Vredens Vin af min Haand, og giv alle Folkene, til hvilke jeg sender dig, at drikke af den.
16 When they drink [the wine], they will stagger and act like crazy people, because [they will realize that] I will (massacre many of their people/cause many of their people to be killed) [MTY] with swords.”
Og de skulle drikke og tumle og rase over Sværdet, som jeg sender iblandt dem.
17 So, [in the vision, ] I took that cup [full of wine] from Yahweh, and I took it to all the nations to which he sent me, and caused [the leaders of those] nations to drink [some of that wine].
Og jeg tog Bægeret af Herrens Haand, og jeg gav alle Folkene, til hvilke Herren sendte mig, at drikke:
18 [I went to] Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah, and the king and [the other] officials drank [some of the wine] from that cup. And, starting from that day, they all [eventually] were removed from having authority, and became [people whom others] (ridiculed/acted contemptuously towards), who were despised, and cursed.
Jerusalem og Judas Stæder og dens Konger og dens Fyrster for at gøre dem til en Ørk, til Forfærdelse, til Spot og til Forbandelse, som det ses paa denne Dag;
19 [In the vision I went to] Egypt [and gave some of the wine] to the king and his officials and many of his people,
Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, og hans Tjenere og hans Fyrster og alt hans Folk
20 and to foreigners who were living there. [In the vision I also went to] Uz land and to Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod [cities and gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
og den hele Hob af alle Haande Folk og alle Konger i Landet Uz og alle Konger i Filisternes Land, Askalon og Gaza og Ekron og de overblevne af Asdod,
21 [Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],
Edom og Moab og Ammons Børn,
22 and to Tyre and Sidon [cities] and to areas across the [Mediterranean] Sea, and [gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
og alle Konger i Tyrus og alle Konger i Sidon og Kongerne paa Kysten, som er paa hin Side Havet,
23 [In the vision I then went] to Dedan, Tema, and Buz [cities in Arabia] and to other distant places (OR, places where people cut their hair short), [and gave some of the wine to leaders in those areas].
Dedan og Thema og Bus og alle dem med rundklippet Haar
24 [In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert
og alle Konger i Arabien og alle Konger over den hele Hob af alle Haande Folk, dem, som bo i Ørken,
25 and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],
og alle Konger i Zimri og alle Konger i Elam og alle Konger i Medien,
26 and to kings in countries to the north that are near [to Israel] and to countries that are far [from Israel], one after the other— [I went to] all the kingdoms in the world [HYP]. And finally, [in my vision I went to] Babylon, and gave [some of] the wine to the king of Babylon—the wine [that symbolized that Yahweh would punish the people of Babylon because he was angry with them] [MTY].
og alle Konger imod Norden, baade dem, som ere nær, og dem, som ere fjern, den ene efter den anden, og alle Jordens Riger, som ere paa Jorderiges Kreds; og Kongen af Sesak skal drikke efter dem.
27 Then [in the vision Yahweh said to me], “Tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Drink [from this cup some of the wine that represents the punishment that I will give you]. Drink [a lot of it] and become drunk and vomit. You will fall down and not get up again, because I will cause you to be killed in wars [MTY] that I will send to you.
Og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Drikker og bliver drukne, og spyer og falder, saa at I ikke kunne staa op igen; for Sværdet, som jeg sender iblandt eder.
28 If any of those to whom you give this wine [MTY] refuse to drink it, tell them that the Commander of the armies of angels says that they must drink it.
Og det skal ske, naar de vægre sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Haand til at drikke, da skal du sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Drikke skulle I!
29 I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. [Do you think that] you should not be punished [RHQ]? No, you will surely be punished [LIT] because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’
Thi se, i den Stad, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, begynder jeg med at lade Ulykken komme; og skulde I gaa fri? I skulle ikke gaa fri! thi jeg kalder et Sværd hid over alle Jordens Beboere, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
30 Now tell them all those things that I have said, and also say this to them: ‘Yahweh will [shout to them] from his holy dwelling [in heaven] [MTY] and [it will sound like] the roar of a lion. He will shout like [SIM] people shout when they are treading on grapes [to make juice for wine]; he will shout to everyone on the earth.
Og du skal spaa over dem og forkynde alle disse Ord og sige til dem: Herren skal lade et Brøl lyde fra det høje og hæve sin Røst fra sin hellige Bolig: Et Brøl skal han lade lyde imod sin Bolig, han skal opløfte et Frydeskrig som de, der træde Vinpersen, imod alle Jordens Beboere.
31 Even people in very remote places around the earth will hear him shouting, because he will say why he will judge and punish all the nations. He will cause the wicked people to be slaughtered with swords. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.’
Der kommer et Bulder lige indtil Jordens Ende, thi Herren har Trætte med Hedningerne, han holder Dom over alt Kød; de ugudelige giver han til Sværdet, siger Herren.
32 Then tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Listen to this! There will be disasters in one nation after another. [I am preparing to punish them like] [MET] a great storm that starts in the most distant places on the earth.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Se, der udgaar Ulykke fra et Folk til et andet Folk, og en vældig Storm skal rejse sig fra det yderste af Jorden.
33 When that happens, [the corpses of] those whom I have [caused to be] slaughtered will fill the earth from the east to the west. And no one will mourn for them, and no one will gather their corpses to bury them. They will be [scattered] on the ground like manure.
Og de, som ere ihjelslagne af Herren, skulle paa den Dag ligge fra den ene Ende af Jorden og indtil den anden Ende af Jorden; de skulle ej beklages og ej sankes op og ej begraves, de skulle vorde til Møg oven paa Marken.
34 You [evil] leaders, weep and moan! You who should take care of my people, [fall down and] roll in the dust/dirt. It is time for you to be slaughtered; you will fall down and be shattered like a fragile vase [shatters when it falls to the ground].
Hyler, I Hyrder! og raaber og vælter eder i Støv, I herlige iblandt Hjorden! thi eders Dage ere komne til at slagtes; og jeg skal sønderslaa eder, og I skulle falde som et kosteligt Kar.
35 You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.
Og der skal ingen Tilflugt være for Hyrderne, og de herlige iblandt Hjorden skulle ikke undkomme.
36 [People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.
Der lyder Skrig af Hyrderne og Hylen af de herlige iblandt Hjorden; thi Herren ødelægger deres Græsgang.
37 Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.
Og de fredelige Hytter ere blevne stille, for Herrens brændende Vredes Skyld.
38 I will leave [my dwelling like] [SIM] a lion leaves its den [to attack other animals], and I will cause your land to become desolate when I, because I am very angry [with you], cause [your enemies to slaughter you with their] swords.’”
Han har som den unge Løve forladt sin Hule; thi deres Land er blevet en Forfærdelse for den ødelæggende Magts Grumhed og for hans brændende Vredes Skyld.
