7 Thi så siger HERREN: Fryd jer over Jakob med Glæde, jubl over det første blandt Folkene, kundgør med Lovsang og sig: "HERREN har frelst sit Folk, Israels Rest."
7 For thus says the Lord,“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,And shout among the chief of the nations;Proclaim, give praise and say,‘O Lord, save Your people,The remnant of Israel.’
8 Se, jeg bringer dem hid fra Nordens Land, samler dem fraJordens Afkroge; iblandt dem er blinde og lamme, frugtsommelige sammen med fødende, i en stor Forsamling vender de hjem.
8 “Behold, I am bringing them from the north country,And I will gather them from the remote parts of the earth,Among them the blind and the lame,The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together;A great company, they will return here.
9 Se, de kommer med Gråd; mens de ydmygt beder, leder jeg dem; jeg fører dem hen til Vandløb ad en jævn Vej, hvor de ej snubler; thi jeg er Israel en Fader, min førstefødte er Efraim.
9 “With weeping they will come,And by supplication I will lead them;I will make them walk by streams of waters,On a straight path in which they will not stumble;For I am a father to Israel,And Ephraim is My firstborn.”
12 De kommer til Zions bjerg og jubler over HERRENs Fylde, over Kom og Most og Olie og over Lam og Kalve. Deres Sjæl er som en vandrig Have, de skal aldrig vansmægte mer.
12 “They will come and shout for joy on the height of Zion,And they will be radiant over the bounty of the Lord—Over the grain and the new wine and the oil,And over the young of the flock and the herd;And their life will be like a watered garden,And they will never languish again.
13 Da fryder sig Jomfru i Dans, Yngling og Olding tilsammen. Jeg vender deres Kummer til Fryd, giver Trøst og Glæde efter Sorgen.
13 “Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance,And the young men and the old, together,For I will turn their mourning into joyAnd will comfort them and give them joy for their sorrow.
15 Så siger HERREN: En Klagerøst høres i Rama, bitter Gråd, Rakel begræder sine Børn, vil ikke trøstes over sine Børn, fordi de er borte.
15 Thus says the Lord,“A voice is heard in Ramah,Lamentation and bitter weeping.Rachel is weeping for her children;She refuses to be comforted for her children,Because they are no more.”
16 Så siger HERREN: Din Røst skal du holde fra Gråd, dine Øjne fra Tårer, thi derer Løn fordin Møje,lyder det fra HERREN; fra Fjendeland vender de hjem;
16 Thus says the Lord,“Restrain your voice from weepingAnd your eyes from tears;For your work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord,“And they will return from the land of the enemy.
18 Jeg hører grant, hvor Efraim klager: "Du tugted mig, og jeg blev tugtet som en utæmmet Kalv; omvend mig, så bliver jeg omvendt, thi du er HERREN min Gud.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving,‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised,Like an untrained calf;Bring me back that I may be restored,For You are the Lord my God.
19 Thi nu jeg er omvendt, angrer jeg; nu jeg har besindet mig, slår jeg mig på Hofte; jeg er skamfuld og beskæmmet, thi jeg bærer min Ungdoms Skændsel."
19 ‘For after I turned back, I repented;And after I was instructed, I smote on my thigh;I was ashamed and also humiliatedBecause I bore the reproach of my youth.’
20 Er Efraim min dyrebare Søn, mit Yndlingsbarn? thi så tit jeg taler om ham, må jeg mindes ham kærligt, derfor bruser mit indre, jeg ynkes over ham, lyder det fra HERREN.
20 “Is Ephraim My dear son?Is he a delightful child?Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him,I certainly still remember him;Therefore My heart yearns for him;I will surely have mercy on him,” declares the Lord.
21 Rejs dig Vejvisersten, sæt Mærkesten op, ret din Tanke på Højvejen, Vejen, du gik, vend hjem, du Israels Jomfru, til disse dine Byer!
21 “Set up for yourself roadmarks,Place for yourself guideposts;Direct your mind to the highway,The way by which you went.Return, O virgin of Israel,Return to these your cities.
23 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: End skal de i Judas Land og Byer sige dette Ord, når jeg vender deres Skæbne: "HERREN velsigne dig, du Retfærds Bolig, du hellige Bjerg!"
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I restore their fortunes,‘The Lord bless you, O abode of righteousness,O holy hill!’
28 Og som jeg har været årvågen over dem for at oprykke, nedbryde, omstyrte, ødelægge og gøre ilde, således vil jeg være årvågen over dem for at bygge og plante, lyder det fra HERREN.
28 As I have watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to overthrow, to destroy and to bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the Lord.
32 ikke som den Pagt jeg sluttede med deres Fædre, dengang jeg tog dem ved Hånden for at føre dem ud af Ægypten, hvilken Pagt de brød, så jeg væmmedes ved dem, lyder det fra HERREN;
32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.
33 nej, dette er den Pagt, jeg efter hine Dage slutter med Israels Hus, lyder det fra HERREN: Jeg giver min Lov i deres Indre og skriver den på deres Hjerter, og jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mit Folk.
33 “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
34 Ven skal ikke mere lære sin Ven eller Broder sin Broder og sige: "Kend HERREN!" Thi de skal alle kende mig fra den mindste til den største, lydet det fra HERREN; thi jeg tilgiver deres Brøde og kommer ikke mer deres Synd i Hu.
34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
35 Så siger HERREN, han, som satte Solen til at lyse om Dagen og Månen og Stjernerne til at lyse om Natten, han, som oprører Havet, så Bølgerne bruser, han, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HERRE:
35 Thus says the Lord,Who gives the sun for light by dayAnd the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar;The Lord of hosts is His name:
37 Så siger HERREN: Når Himmelen oventil kan udmåles og Jordens Grundvolde nedentil udgranskes, så vil jeg også forkaste Israels Æt for alt, hvad de har gjort, lydet det fra HERREN.
37 Thus says the Lord,“If the heavens above can be measuredAnd the foundations of the earth searched out below,Then I will also cast off all the offspring of IsraelFor all that they have done,” declares the Lord.
40 og hele Dalen, Ligene og Asken, og alle Markerne ned til Kedrons Bæk, til Hesteportens Hjørne mod Øst skal være HERREN helliget; det skal aldrig mere oprykkes eller nedlbrydes.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord; it will not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever.”
