Jeremia 30
1 Detta är det ord, som af Herranom skedde till Jeremia:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Detta säger Herren, Israels Gud: Skrif dig all de orden uti ena bok, de jag talar till dig;
“[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.
3 Ty si, den tiden kommer, säger Herren, att jag mins folks fängelse, både Israels och Juda, vända skall, säger Herren, och skall låta dem igenkomma uti det land, som jag deras fäder gifvit hafver, att de det besitta skola.
[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.”
4 Och dessa äro de ord, som Herren talade om Israel och Juda.
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 Ty så säger Herren: Sant året, det går ju ömkeliga till med eder; det är intet annat än fruktan på färde, och ingen frid.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 Men fråger dock derefter, och ser till, om en mansperson föda kan? Huru går det då till, att jag ser alla män hålla sina händer uppå sina länder, såsom qvinnor i barnsnöd, och att all ansigte så blek äro?
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?
7 Ack! det är ju en stor dag, och hans like hafver icke varit; och en bedröfvelsetid är i Jacob, likväl skall dem der uthulpet varda.
[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].”
8 Men det skall ske på den tiden, säger Herren Zebaoth, att jag hans ok sönderbryta skall af dinom hals, och slita din band sönder, att du deruti dem främmandom intet mer tjena skall;
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.
9 Utan de skola tjena Herranom sinom Gud, och sinom Konung David, den jag dem uppväcka skall.
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.
10 Derföre frukta du dig intet, min tjenare Jacob, säger Herren, och gif dig icke, Israel; ty si, jag vill hjelpa dig utu fjerran land, och dina säd utu sins fängelses land; så att Jacob skall igenkomma, lefva i frid, och nog hafva, och ingen skall förskräcka honom.
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.
11 Ty jag är när dig, säger Herren, att jag skall hjelpa dig; ty jag skall göra en ända med alla de Hedningar, dit jag dig förskingrat hafver; men med dig vill jag icke ända göra; men jag vill näpsa dig med måttelighet, på det du icke skall hålla dig oskyldig.
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.”
12 Ty detta säger Herren: Din skade är allt för stor, och din sår äro allt för ond.
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.
13 Dina sak handlar ingen, att han måtte förbinda dem; dig kan ingen läka.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 Alle dine älskare förgäta dig, och fråga der intet efter. Jag hafver slagit dig, lika som jag sloge en fienda, och såsom en obarmhertig stupat dig för dina stora missgerningars skull, och för dina starka synders skull.
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.
15 Hvad ropar du öfver din skada, och öfver din stora värk? Hafver jag dock detta gjort dig för dina stora missgerningar, och för dina starka synders skull.
[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.
16 Derföre, alle de som dig frätit hafva, de skola uppfrätne varda, och alle de som dig ångest gjort hafva, skola fångne varda, och de som dig beröfvat hafva, skola beröfvade varda, och alle de som dig skinnat hafva, skola skinnade varda.
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.
17 Men dig vill jag åter helbregda göra, och hela din sår, säger Herren; derföre, att man kallar dig den fördrefna; och Zion, den der ingen efterfrågar.
[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.”
18 Detta säger Herren: Si, jag skall vända Jacobs hyddors fängelse, och förbarma mig öfver hans boning; och staden skall åter utur askone uppbyggd varda, och templet skall stå som det stå skall.
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.
19 Och lof och fröjd skall gå derut: ty jag skall föröka, dem, och icke förminska; Jag skall göra dem stora, och icke mindre.
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.
20 Hans söner skola vara såsom tillförene, och hans menighet skall trifvas för mig; ty jag vill alla dem hemsöka, som honom plåga.
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.
21 Och hans väldige skall utaf honom sjelfvom född varda, och hans Herre komma utaf honom sjelfvom, och jag skall låta honom nalkas mig, och han skall för mig komma; tv hvilken är den eljest, som med så viljogt hjerta nalkas mig? säger Herren.
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].
22 Och I skolen vara mitt folk, och jag skall vara edar Gud.
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Si, ett Herrans väder skall komma med grymhet; ett förskräckeligit oväder skall falla de ogudaktiga öfver hufvudet.
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.
24 Ty Herrans grymma vrede skall icke upphålla, tilldess han gör och uträttar hvad han i sinnet hafver; på sistone skolen I väl förnimma det.
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].
