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 om alt Judases folk i Joasias Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde År, det er Kong Nebukadrezar af Babels første År,
2 I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:
og som Profeten Jeremias talte til alt Judas Folk og alle Jerusalems Borgere:
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 Amons Søns, Kong Josias af Judas, trettende År til den Dag i Dag, i fulde tre og tyve År er HERRENs Ord kommet til mig, og jeg, talte til eder årle og silde, men I hørte ikke;
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 sendte årle og silde alle sine Tjenere Profeterne til eder, men I hørte ikke; I bøjede ikke 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.
når han sagde: "Omvend eder, hver fra sin onde Vej og sine onde Gerninger, at I fra Evighed til Evighed må bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre;
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 hold eder ikke til andre Guder, så I dyrker og tilbeder dem, og krænk mig ikke med eders Hænders Værker til eders Ulykke."
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.
Nej, I hørte mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN, og så krænkede I mig med eders Hænders Værker 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, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Fordi I ikke vilde høre 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.
vil jeg sende Bud efter alle Nordens Stammer, lyder det fra HERREN, og til kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, min Tjener, og lade dem komme over dette Land og dets Indbyggere og over alle Folkene heromkring, og jeg vil ødelægge dem og gøre dem til Rædsel, Latter og Spot for evigt.
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].
Jeg fjerner fra dem Fryderåb og Glædesråb, Brudgoms Røst og Bruds Røst, Kværnens Lyd og Lampens Skin,
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 Ørk og Øde, og disse Folkeslag skal trælle for Babels konge i halvfjerdsindstyve År.
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.
Men når der er gået halvfjerdsindstyve År, hjemsøger jeg Babels Konge og Folket der for deres Misgerning, lyder det fra HERREN, også Kaldæernes Land hjemsøger jeg og gør det til evige Ørkener,
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 jeg opfylder på dette Land alle mine Ord, som jeg har talet imod det, alt, hvad der er skrevet i denne Bog, alt, hvad Jeremias har profeteret mod 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 også dem skal mange Folk og vældige Konger gøre til Trælle, og jeg gengælder dem deres Gerning og deres Hænders Værk.
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 således sagde HERREN, Israels Gud, til mig: "Tag dette Bæger med min Vredes Vin af min Hånd og giv alle de Folk, jeg sender dig til, at drikke deraf;
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.”
de skal drikke og rave og rase for Sværdet, 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 Hånd og gav alle de Folk, han sendte mig til, at drikke deraf:
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 Byer og dets Konger og Fyrster, for at gøre dem til Ørk og Øde, til Spot og til et Forbandelsens Tegn, som det er på 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, Ægypterkongen, med alle hans Tjenere og 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].
alt Blandingsfolket og alle konger i Uz og Filisterland, Askalon, Gaza og Ekron og Asdods Rest;
21 [Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],
Edom, Moab og Ammoniterne;
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].
alle Tyruss og Zidons Konger og den fjerne strands Konger hinsides 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, Tema og Buz og alle dem med rundklippet Hår;
24 [In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert
alle Arabernes konger og alle Blandingsfolkets Konger, som hor i Ørkenen;
25 and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],
alle Zimris Konger, alle Elams Konger og alle Mediens Konger;
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].
alle Nordens Konger, nær og fjern, den ene efter den anden. alle Riger på Jordens Overflade; og Kongen af Sjesjak 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: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Drik, bliv drukne og spy, fald og rejs eder ikke mere for Sværdet 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 hvis de vægrer sig ved at tage Bægeret af din Hånd og drikke, skal du sige til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Drikke skal 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, med den By, mit Navn er nævnet over, begynder jeg at handle ilde, og så skulde I gå fri! Nej, I går ikke fri; thi jeg kalder Sværdet hid mod alle dem, som bor på Jorden, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
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 profetere alle disse Ord for dem og sige: HERREN brøler fra det høje, løfter sin Røst fra sin hellige Bolig; han brøler over sin Græsgang, istemmer Vinperserråbet over alle, som bor på Jorden.
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.’
Drønet når til Jordens Ende, thi HERREN går i Rette med Folkene; over alt Kød holder han Dom, de gudløse giver han til Sværdet, lyder det fra 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.
Thi så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, Ulykken går fra det ene Folk til det andet, et vældigt Vejr bryder løs fra Jordens Rand.
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.
HERRENs slagne skal på den Dag ligge fra Jordens ene Ende til den anden; der skal ikke holdes Klage over dem, og de skal ikke sankes og jordes; de skal blive til Gødning på 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].
Jamrer, I Hyrder, og skrig, I Hjordens ypperste, vælt jer i Støvet! Thi Tiden, I skal slagtes, er kommet, som en kostelig Skål skal I splintres.
35 You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.
Hyrderne finder ej Tilflugt, ej Hjordens ypperste Redning.
36 [People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.
Hør, hvor Hyrderne skriger, hvor Hjordens ypperste jamrer! Thi HERREN hærger deres Græsgange,
37 Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.
og Fredens Vange lægges øde for HERRENs glødende Vrede;
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.’”
Løven går bort fra sin Tykning, thi deres Land er lagt øde for det hærgende Sværd, for HERRENs glødende Vrede.
