Jeremiah 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Det ordet som kom til Jeremia frå Herren; han sagde:
2 “[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
So segjer Herren, Israels Gud: Skriv deg upp i ei bok alle dei ordi eg hev tala til deg!
3 [I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
For sjå, dagar skal koma, segjer Herren, då eg endar utlægdi åt folket mitt, Israel og Juda, og let deim koma heim att til det landet som eg gav federne deira, so dei kann taka det til eign.
4 Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
Og dette er dei ordi som Herren hev tala um Israel og um Juda:
5 This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
So segjer Herren: Eit rædslerop hev me høyrt; otte og ingen fred.
6 But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
Spør og sjå etter um ein karmann føder barn! Kvi ser eg då alle mann med henderne på lenderne liksom kvinna i barnsnaud, og kvi er alle andliti vortne nåbleike?
7 [Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
Å! Stor er den dagen, han hev ikkje sin like. Ja, ei trengsletid er det for Jakob, men han skal verta frelst derifrå.
8 The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
Og det skal henda den dagen, segjer Herren, allhers drott, at eg vil brjota oket hans av halsen din, og bandi dine vil eg riva sund. Ja, framande skal ikkje trælka honom lenger.
9 My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
Men dei skal tena Herren, sin Gud, og David, sin konge, som eg vil reisa upp åt deim.
10 So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
So ottast ikkje, du min tenar Jakob, segjer Herren, og ræddast ikkje, Israel! For sjå, eg frelser deg frå det burtlengste land og avkjømet ditt frå det landet som dei var burtførde til. Og Jakob skal snu heim att og vera i ro og trygd, og ingen skal skræma honom.
11 I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
For eg er med deg, segjer Herren, til å frelsa deg. For eg vil gjera ende på alle dei folki som eg hev spreidt deg imillom, det er berre deg eg ikkje vil gjera ende på, men eg vil aga deg med måte, men reint utan refsing kann eg ikkje lata deg vera.
12 Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
For so segjer Herren: Ubøtande er skaden din, ulækjande såret ditt.
13 There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
Ingen tek saki di på seg og kreistar verken ut; det bid ikkje helsebot, ikkje plåster for deg.
14 All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
Alle elskarane dine hev gløymt deg, dei spør ikkje etter deg. For eg hev slege deg likeins som ein fiende slær, eg hev aga deg som den miskunnlause, for di at misgjerningi di er stor og synderne dine mange.
15 [Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
Kvi eiar du deg yver skaden din, yver at plåga di er ulækjande? For di at misgjerningi di er stor og synderne dine mange, hev eg gjort deg dette.
16 But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
Difor skal alle som et på deg, verta upp-etne, og alle som er trengjer deg, verta burtførde, alle saman, og dei som herjar deg, skal verta herja, og alle som ranar frå deg, vil eg gjeva til ran.
17 [Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
For eg vil grøda såri dine og lækja deg etter slagi du hev fenge, segjer Herren, av di dei kallar deg «den burtdrivne», «Sion som ingen spør etter».
18 This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
So segjer Herren: Sjå, eg endar utlægdi for Jakobs tjeld og miskunnar bustaderne hans, og byen skal atter verta bygd på haugen sin, og slottet skal standa på sin rette stad.
19 People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
Og det skal ljoma av lovsangar og leikstemne-ljod frå deim. Og eg vil lata deim aukast og ikkje minka, og eg vil æra deim, og dei skal ikkje verta mismætte.
20 Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
Og sønerne hans skal vera som fordom, og lyden hans skal standa grunnfest framfor mi åsyn, og eg vil heimsøkja alle som trengjer honom.
21 One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
Og hans herlege skal vera utstokken frå honom sjølv, og drotten hans skal ganga fram or hans eigen flokk. Og eg vil lata honom nærra seg åt meg, so han fær koma til meg; for kven kunde elles vera so hjartug, at han kom meg nær? segjer Herren.
22 You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
Og de skal vera mitt folk, og eg skal vera dykkar Gud.
23 Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
Sjå, ein storm frå Herren - vreide bryt fram - ein rjukande storm: ned på hovudet åt dei ugudlege kjem han i kvervlar.
24 He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
Herrens brennande vreide skal ikkje halda upp fyrr han hev gjort og sett i verk sitt hjartans tankar. I dagarne som kjem, skal de skyna det.
