1The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;
1Optegnet er Judas Synd med med griffel af jern, med Diamantspids ristet i deres Hjertes Tavle og på deres Altres Horn,
2while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
2når Sønnerne kommner deres Altre og Asjerer i Hu, på alle grønne Træer, på de høje Steder,
3My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
3på Bjergene på Marken. Din Rigdom, alle dine Skatte giver jeg hen til Rov til Løn for din Synd, så langt dine Grænser når.
4You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
4Din Hånd må slippe din Arvelod, den, jeg gav dig. Jeg lader dig, trælle for Fjender i et ukendt Land, thi Ild luer op i min Vrede, den brænder evigt.
5Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
5Så siger HERREN: Forbandet være den Mand, som stoler på Mennesker, og som holder Kød for sin Arm, hvis Hjerte viger fra HERREN.
6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
6Han bliver som Ødemarkens Ene og får ej Lykke at se; han bor i glødende Ørk, i Saltland, hvor ingen fæster Bo.
7Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.
7Velsignet være den Mand, som stoler på HERREN, og hvis Tillid HERREN er.
8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
8Han bliver somn et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand, og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, når Heden komnmer, hvis Løv er frodig grønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens År eller ophører med at bære Frugt.
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
9Hjertet er svigefuldt fremfor alt, det er sygt, hvo kender det?
10I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
10Jeg, HERREN, jeg ransager Hjerte og prøver Nyrer for at gengælde hver hans Færd, hans Gerningers Frugt.
11As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
11Som en Agerhømme på Æg, den ikke har lagt, er den, der vinder Rigdom med Uret; han må slippe den i Dagenes Hælvt og slår ved sin Død som en Dåre.
12A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
12En Herlighedstrone, en urgammel Høj er vor Helligdoms Sted.
13Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
13HERRE, du Israels Håb, enhver, der forlader dig, får Skam; de, der falder fra dig, skal udryddes af Landet, thi HERREN, er Kilden med levende Vand, forlod de.
14Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
14Læg mig, HERRE, så jeg læges, frels du mig, så jeg frelses, thi du er min Ros.
15Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come now.
15Se, de andre siger til mig: "Hvor er HERRENs Ord? Lad det konmme!"
16As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.
16Jeg vægred mig ej ved at være Hyrde i dit Spor", begæred ej heller Ulykkens Dag, du ved det; hvad der udgik fra mine Læber, er for dit Åsyn.
17Don’t be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
17Bliv ikke en Rædsel for mig, du min Tilflugt på Ullykkens Dag.
18Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
18Lad Forfølgerne beskæmmes, lad ej mig beskæmmes, lad dem forfærdes, lad ej mig forfærdes; send over dem Ulykkens Dag, knus dem og gentag Slaget!
19Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
19Således sagde HERREN til mig: Gå hen og stil dig i Folkets Sønners Port, ad hvilken Judas Konger går ind og ud, og i alle Jerusalemns Porte
20and tell them, Hear the word of Yahweh, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
20og sig til dem: Hør HERRENS Ord, I Judas Konger og hele Juda og alle Jerusalems Borgere, som går ind ad disse Porte!
21Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
21Så siger HERREN: Vogt eder for eders Sjæles Skyld, at I ikke bærer Byrder ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen!
22neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
22Bring ingen Byrde ud af eders Huse på Sabbatsdagen og gør intet Arbejde, men hold Sabbalsdagen hellig, som jeg bød eders Fædre.
23But they didn’t listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
23De hørte ikke og bøjede ikke deres Øre, men gjorde Nakken stiv for ikke at høre eller tage ved Lære.
24It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
24Men hvis I hører mig, lyder det fra HERREN, så I ikke bringer nogen Byrde ind gennem denne Bys Porte på Sabbatsdagen, men holder den hellig og ikke gør noget Arbejde på den,
25then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
25så skal Konger og Fyrster, som sidder på Davids Trone, drage ind ad denne Bys Porte med Vogne og Heste, de og deres Fyrster, Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere, og denne By skal stå til evig Tid.
26They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.
26Og fra Judas Byer, fra Jerusalems Omegn, fra Benjamins Land, fra Lavlandet, Bjergene og Sydlandet skal man komme og bringe Brændoffer, Slagtoffer, Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse og Takoffer til HERRENs Hus.
27But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
27Men hvis I ikke hører mit Ord om at holde Sabbatsdagen hellig og om ikke at bære nogen Byrde ind gennem Jerusalems Porte på Sabbatsdagen, så sætter jeg Ild på dets Porle, og den skal fortære Jerusalems Paladser uden at slukkes.
