Jeremias bog 23 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Ve de hyrder, som leder vild, og som spreder de får, jeg har på græs, siger Herren. I Derfor siger Herren, Israels Gud, om de hyrder, som vogter mit folk: | 1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. |
| 2 spredte mine får og fordrev dem, og I tog jer ikke af dem. Nu vil jeg straffe jer for jeres onde gerninger, siger Herren. | 2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. |
| 3 Men dem, der er tilbage af mine får, vil jeg samle fra alle de lande, jeg fordrev dem til. Jeg fører dem tilbage til deres græsgang, og de skal blive frugtbare og talrige. | 3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. |
| 4 Jeg sætter hyrder over dem, som skal vogte dem. Ingen skal længere frygte og være bange, og der skal ikke mangle nogen af dem, siger Herren. | 4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. |
| 5 Der skal komme dage, siger Herren, da jeg lader en retfærdig spire fremstå af Davids slægt. Han skal være konge med indsigt og øve ret og retfærdighed i landet. | 5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. |
| 6 I hans dage skal Juda frelses og Israel ligge trygt. Han skal få dette navn »Herren er vor Retfærdighed«. | 6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. |
| 7 Derfor skal der komme dage, siger Herren, da man ikke mere siger: »Så sandt Herren lever, som førte israelitterne op fra Egypten« | 7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; |
| 8 men siger: »Så sandt Herren lever, som førte Israels efterkommere op og bragte dem hjem fra Nordens land« ? og fra alle de lande, jeg fordrev dem til, så de kunne bo på deres egen jord. | 8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. |
| 9 Om profeterne. Hjertet er knust i mit indre, mine knogler ryster! Jeg er som en beruset, som en, der har fået for meget vin; det er på grund af Herren, på grund af hans hellige ord. | 9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. |
| 10 Landet er fuldt af horkarle, på grund af forbandelsen sørger landet, steppens græsgange visner. De løber efter det onde, de har deres styrke i uretten. | 10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. |
| 11 Både profeter og præster er gudløse, selv i mit hus har jeg mødt deres ondskab, siger Herren. | 11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. |
| 12 Derfor bliver deres vej glat, de stødes ud i mørket, og dér skal de falde. For jeg bringer ulykke over dem i straffens år, siger Herren. | 12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. |
| 13 Blandt Samarias profeter har jeg set forfærdelige ting; de profeterede ved Ba'al og førte mit folk Israel vild. | 13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. |
| 14 Blandt Jerusalems profeter har jeg set grufulde ting; de horer og farer med løgn, de opmuntrer forbryderne, så ingen vender om fra sin ondskab. De er alle blevet som Sodoma, byens indbyggere er som Gomorra. | 14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. |
| 15 Derfor siger Hærskarers Herre om profeterne: Jeg giver dem malurt at spise og gift at drikke; for gudløsheden har bredt sig fra Jerusalems profeter til hele landet. | 15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land. |
| 16 Dette siger Hærskarers Herre: Lyt ikke til profeternes ord! De profeterer for jer, men de forblinder jer; syner forkynder de ud af eget hjerte og ikke af Herrens mund. | 16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. |
| 17 Til dem, der lader hånt om mig, siger de: »Herren har sagt: Nu bliver der fred«, og til alle, der vandrer i hjertets forstokkethed, siger de: »Ulykken rammer jer ikke.« | 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. |
| 18 Men hvem står i Herrens råd og ser og hører hans ord? Hvem lytter til mit ord og hører efter? | 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? |
| 19 Herrens storm bryder frem med vrede, en hvirvelstorm, der hvirvler over hovedet på de ugudelige. | 19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. |
| 20 Herrens vrede lægger sig ikke, før han har iværksat og gennemført sit hjertes planer. Til sidst skal I forstå dem! | 20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. |
| 21 Jeg har ikke sendt profeterne, alligevel farer de frem; jeg har ikke talt til dem, alligevel profeterer de. | 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. |
| 22 Hvis de stod i mit råd , ville de forkynde mine ord for mit folk og få dem til at vende om fra deres onde vej og fra deres onde gerninger. | 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. |
| 23 Er jeg kun Gud her på stedet? siger Herren, er jeg ikke også Gud langt borte? | 23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? |
| 24 Hvem kan skjule sig på steder, hvor jeg ikke kan få øje på ham? siger Herren. Er det ikke mig, der fylder både himmel og jord? siger Herren. | 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. |
| 25 Jeg har hørt de profeter, der profeterer løgn i mit navn, sige: »Jeg har drømt, jeg har drømt!« | 25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. |
| 26 Hvor længe skal det vare? Har profeterne kun tanke for at profetere løgn og svig ud af eget hjerte? | 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; |
| 27 Med deres drømme, som de fortæller hinanden,pønser de på at få mit folk til at glemme mit navn, sådan som deres fædre glemte mit navn for Ba'al. | 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. |
| 28 Lad den profet, der har haft en drøm, fortælle drømmen; men den, der har mit ord, skal tale mit ord i sandhed. Hvad har strå med kerne at gøre? siger Herren. | 28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. |
| 29 Er mit ord ikke som ild? siger Herren, som en hammer, der knuser klippen? | 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? |
| 30 Derfor kommer jeg over profeterne, siger Herren, for de stjæler mine ord fra hinanden. | 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. |
| 31 Nu kommer jeg over profeterne, siger Herren, for de lader tungen løbe og siger: »Han har talt.« | 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. |
| 32 Nu kommer jeg over dem, der profeterer løgnedrømme, siger Herren; de fortæller deres drømme og fører mit folk vild med deres løgn og snak. Jeg har ikke sendt dem og har ikke givet dem befaling, og de er ikke til gavn for dette folk, siger Herren. | 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. |
| 33 Når dette folk eller en profet eller præst spørger dig: »Hvad er Herrens orakel?« skal du svare dem: I er byrden, og jeg kaster jer fra mig, siger Herren. | 33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. |
| 34 Hvis en profet, en præst eller en af folket siger »Herrens orakel« vil jeg straffe den mand og hans hus. | 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house. |
| 35 Sådan skal I spørge hinanden, mand og mand imellem: »Hvad har Herren svaret, hvad har Herren talt?« | 35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? |
| 36 Men ordene »Herrens orakel« må I aldrig mere nævne, for et orakel er et menneskes eget ord, og I fordrejer ordene fra den levende Gud, Hærskarers Herre, vor Gud. | 36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. |
| 37 Sådan skal du spørge profeten: »Hvad har Herren svaret dig, hvad har Herren talt?« | 37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken? |
| 38 Men »Herrens orakel« må I ikke sige! Derfor siger Herren: I siger disse ord »Herrens orakel« skønt jeg gav jer besked om ikke at sige »Herrens orakel«. | 38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD; |
| 39 Derfor løfter jeg jer op og kaster jer og den by, jeg gav jer og jeres fædre, bort fra mig. | 39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: |
| 40 Jeg bringer evig skam og skændsel over jer, og den skal aldrig blive glemt. | 40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. |
