2 Ak, fandt jeg i Ørkenen et Herberg for vandringsmænd. Så drog jeg bort fra mit Folk og gik fra dem. Thi Horkarle er de alle, en svigefuld Bande;
2 Oh that I had in the desertA wayfarers’ lodging place;That I might leave my peopleAnd go from them!For all of them are adulterers,An assembly of treacherous men.
3 de spænder deres Tunges Bue. Løgn, ikke Sandhed råder i Landet; thi de går fra Ondskab til Ondskab og kender ej mig, så lyder det fra HERREN.
3 “They bend their tongue like their bow;Lies and not truth prevail in the land;For they proceed from evil to evil,And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.
10 Over Bjergene bryder jeg ud i Gråd og Klage, over ØrkenensGræsgang i Klagesang. Thi de er afsvedet, mennesketomme, der høres ej Lyd af Kvæg; Himlens Fugle og Dyrene flygtede bort.
10 “For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing,And for the pastures of the wilderness a dirge,Because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,And the lowing of the cattle is not heard;Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.
12 Hvem er viis nok til at fatte dette, og til hvem har HERRENs Mund talet, så han kan sige det: Hvorfor er Landet lagt øde, afsvedet som en Ørken, mennesketomt?
12 Who is the wise man that may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a desert, so that no one passes through?
24 men den, som vil rose sig, skal rose sig af at han har Forstand til at kende mig, at jeg, HERREN, øver Miskundhed, Ret og Retfærdighed på Jorden; thi i sådanne har jeg Behag, lyder det fra HERREN.
24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.
26 Ægypten, Juda, Edom, Ammoniterne, Moab og alle Ørkenboere med rundklippet Hår; thi Hedningerne er alle uomskårne, men alt Israels Hus har uomskåret Hjerte.
26 Egypt and Judah, and Edom and the sons of Ammon, and Moab and all those inhabiting the desert who clip the hair on their temples; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.”
