Lamentations 2
1 How doth the Lord cloud in His anger the daughter of Zion, He hath cast from heaven [to] earth the beauty of Israel, And hath not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger.
Hvorledes har Herren indhyllet Zions Datter med Mørke i sin Vrede? han har kastet Israels Herlighed fra Himmelen til Jorden, og han kom ikke sine Fødders Fodskammel i Hu paa sin Vredes Dag.
2 Swallowed up hath the Lord, He hath not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He hath broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He hath caused to come to the earth, He polluted the kingdom and its princes.
Herren har opslugt og ikke sparet nogen af Jakobs Boliger, han har nedbrudt Judas Datters Befæstninger i sin Fortørnelse, han har nedkastet dem til Jorden; han har vanhelliget Riget og dets Fyrster.
3 He hath cut off in the heat of anger every horn of Israel, He hath turned backward His right hand From the face of the enemy, And He burneth against Jacob as a flaming fire, It hath devoured round about.
Han har afhugget hvert Horn i Israel i sin brændende Vrede, han har draget sin højre Haand tilbage over for Fjenden; og der brændte i Jakob som en Ildslue, den har fortæret trindt omkring.
4 He hath trodden His bow as an enemy, Stood hath His right hand as an adversary, And He slayeth all the desirable ones of the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He hath poured out as fire His fury.
Han har spændt sin Bue som en Fjende, han har stillet sig med sin højre Haand som en Modstander og har ihjelslaget alle dem, som vare en Lyst for Øjnene; han udøste sin Harme i Zions Datters Paulun som en Ild.
5 The Lord hath been as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel, He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed His fortresses, And He multiplieth in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.
Herren er bleven som en Fjende, han har opslugt Israel, han har opslugt alle dens Paladser, ødelagt dens Befæstninger og voldet Judas Datter megen Sorg og Bedrøvelse.
6 And He shaketh as a garden His tabernacle, He hath destroyed His appointed place, Jehovah hath forgotten in Zion the appointed time and sabbath, And despiseth, in the indignation of His anger, king and priest.
Og han har med Vold nedrevet sit Gærde som en Haves, forstyrret sin Festforsamling; Herren har ladet Festforsamling og Sabbat glemmes i Zion og foragtet Konge og Præst i sin Vredes Heftighed.
7 The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath rejected His sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah Like a day of appointment.
Herren har forkastet sit Alter, ringeagtet sin Helligdom, overgivet dens Paladsers Mure i Fjendens Haand; man opløftede en Røst i Herrens Hus, som var det en Festforsamlings Dag.
8 Devised hath Jehovah to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He hath stretched out a line, He hath not turned His hand from destroying, And He causeth bulwark and wall to mourn, Together — they have been weak.
Herren har besluttet at ødelægge Zions Datters Mur, han har udstrakt en Maalesnor; han har ikke draget sin Haand tilbage fra Ødelæggelsen; og han lod Værn og Mur sørge; sammensunkne ligge de begge.
9 Sunk into the earth have her gates, He hath destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found vision from Jehovah.
Hendes Porte sank i Jorden, han ødelagde og sønderbrød hendes Portstænger; hendes Konger og hendes Fyrster ere iblandt Hedningerne; der er ingen Lov, selv hendes Profeter finde ikke Syn fra Herren.
10 Sit on the earth — keep silent do the elders of the daughter of Zion, They have caused dust to go up on their head, They have girded on sackcloth, Put down to the earth their head have the virgins of Jerusalem.
Zions Datters Ældste sidde paa Jorden, de ere tavse; de kastede Støv over deres Hoved, iførte sig Sæk; Jerusalems Jomfruer sænkede deres Hoved ned imod Jorden.
11 Consumed by tears have been my eyes, Troubled have been my bowels, Poured out to the earth hath been my liver, For the breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling being feeble, In the broad places of the city,
Mine Øjne forsmægte af Graad, mine Indvolde syde, min Lever er udgydt paa Jorden formedelst mit Folks Datters Ødelæggelse, idet de spæde og diende Børn vansmægte paa Stadens Gader.
12 To their mothers they say, 'Where [are] corn and wine?' In their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of their mothers.
De sige til deres Mødre: Hvor er Korn og Vin? idet de vansmægte som saarede paa Stadens Gader, idet de udaande deres Sjæl i deres Moders Skød.
13 What do I testify [to] thee, what do I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to thee, and I comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] thy breach, Who doth give healing to thee?
Hvad skal jeg vidne for dig, hvorved skal jeg ligne dig, Jerusalems Datter? hvad skal jeg agte dig lig, at jeg kan trøste dig, du Jomfru, Zions Datter? thi din Ødelæggelse er stor som Havet; hvo kan læge dig?
14 Thy prophets have seen for thee a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning thine iniquity, To turn back thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes of expulsion.
Dine Profeter havde tomme og daarlige Syner angaaende dig, og de aabenbarede ikke din Misgerning, saa at de afvendte dit Fangenskab; men deres Syner om dig vare tomme Spaadomme og Forførelse.
15 Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed — and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: 'Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'
Alle de, som gaa forbi ad Vejen, klappe i Hænderne over dig, de spotte og ryste med deres Hoved over Jerusalems Datter: Er det den Stad, hvilken man sagde at være hel dejlig, al Jordens Glæde?
16 Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies, They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said: 'We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found — we have seen.'
Alle dine Fjender opspile deres Mund imod dig, de spotte og skære Tænder; de sige: Vi have opslugt den; dette er kun den Dag, som vi biede efter, vi have fundet, vi have set det.
17 Jehovah hath done that which He devised, He hath fulfilled His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He hath broken down and hath not pitied, And causeth an enemy to rejoice over thee, He lifted up the horn of thine adversaries.
Herren har gjort det, som han havde besluttet, han har udført sit Ord, som han fra gamle Dage havde befalet, han har nedbrudt og ikke sparet; og han lod Fjenden glæde sig over dig, han ophøjede dine Modstanderes Horn.
18 Cried hath their heart unto the Lord; O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause to go down as a stream tears daily and nightly, Give not rest to thyself, Let not the daughter of thine eye stand still.
Deres Hjerte raabte til Herren: O Zions Datters Mur! lad Taarerne strømme ned som en Bæk Dag og Nat, giv dig ingen Hvile, lad din Øjesten ikke være rolig!
19 Arise, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the watches. Pour out as water thy heart, Over against the face of the Lord, Lift up unto Him thy hands, for the soul of thine infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all out-places.
Staa op, raab højt om Natten, med Begyndelsen af Nattevagterne, udøs dit Hjerte som Vand for Herrens Ansigt; opløft dine Hænder til ham for dine spæde Børns Liv; thi de vansmægte af Hunger paa alle Gadehjørner.
20 See, O Jehovah, and look attentively, To whom Thou hast acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet?
Herre! se og sku, hvem du har handlet saaledes med; mon Kvinder skulle æde deres Livsfrugt, de spæde Børn, som man bærer paa Hænderne? mon Præst og Profet skulle ihjelslaas i Herrens Helligdom?
21 Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, Thou hast slain in a day of Thine anger, Thou hast slaughtered — Thou hast not pitied.
Der ligger paa Jorden i Gaderne ung og gammel, mine Jomfruer og mine unge Karle ere faldne for Sværdet; du ihjelslog paa din Vredes Dag, du slagtede, du sparede ikke.
22 Thou dost call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from round about, And there hath not been in the day of the anger of Jehovah, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched out and nourished, My enemy hath consumed!
Du kalder som til en Festforsamlings Dag Rædsler over mig trindt omkring fra, og der er ingen, som undkom eller blev tilovers paa Herrens Vredes Dag; dem, som jeg havde baaret paa Hænderne og opdraget, dem har min Fjende gjort Ende paa.
