1The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
1Et Udsagn: "Synernes Dal". Hvad tænker du på, siden alle stiger op på Tagene,
2You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
2du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
3Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
4Derfor siger jeg: Gå fra mig, lad mig græde bittert, træng ej på for at trøste mig over, at mit Folk er lagt øde!
5For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”
5Thi en Dag, da man, ræddes, trædes og trænges, har Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Rede! I Synernes Dal brødes Mure ned, mod Bjerget hørtes Skrig;
6Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
6Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
7og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
8Han borttog Judas Værn. På den Dag så I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
9og I så, hvor mange Revner der var i Davidsbyen. I samlede Nedredammens Vand,
10You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
10gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.
11I gravede mellem de to Mure en Fordybning til den gamle Dams Vand. Men til ham, der virked det, skued I ikke, så ej hen til ham, som beredte det for længst.
12In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:
12På hin Dag kaldte Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Gråd og Sorg, til Hovedragning og Sæk.
13and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
13Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man slår Okser ned, slagter Får, æder Kød og får Vin at drikke: "Lad os æde og drikke, thi i Morgen dør vi!"
14Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
14Men Hærskarers HERRE åbenbared for mit Øre: "Den Synd," siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, "får I ikke sonet, førend I dør!"
15Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
15Så siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gå hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
16Hvad har du her, og hvem har du her, at du her udhugger din Grav, udhugger dig en Grav højt oppe, huler dig en Bolig i Klippen!
17Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
17Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.
18han knytter dig sammen til et Knytte og kaster dig ud i et vidtstrakt Land! Der skal du dø, der din Æresvogn komme, du Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
19Jeg støder dig bort fra din Stilling og styrter dig fra din Post.
20It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
20Men på hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
21og iklæder ham din Kjortel, omgjorder ham med dit Bælte og lægger din Myndighed i hans Hånd. Han skal blive en Fader for Jerusalems Indbyggere og Judas Hus.
22I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
22Jeg lægger Nøglen til Davids Hus på hans Skulder; når han lukker op, skal ingen lukke i, og når han lukker i, skal ingen lukke op,
23I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
23Jeg fæster ham som en Nagle på et sikkert Sted, og han skal blive til Hæder for sit Fædrenehus.
24They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
24Men hænger hans Fædrenehus's hele Vægt sig på ham, Skud og Vildskud, alle Småkar, fra Fadene til alle Krukkerne,
25“In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”
25så skal det ske på den Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, at Naglen, der var fæstet på et sikkert Sted, giver efter, rives ud og falder ned, og hele Vægten, som hænger derpå, skal slås sønder. Thi HERREN har talet!
