Jeremia 25
Svenska Folkbibeln
Profetia om sjuttioårig fångenskap
25 Detta är det ord som kom till Jeremia angående hela Juda folk i Josias son Jojakims, Juda kungs, fjärde regeringsår, som var den babyloniske kungen Nebukadressars första regeringsår.[a] 2 Detta ord talade profeten Jeremia till hela Juda folk och till alla Jerusalems invånare. Han sade:
3 Ända från Josias, Amons sons, Juda kungs, trettonde regeringsår och till denna dag, under dessa tjugotre år, har Herrens ord kommit till mig. Jag har gång på gång talat till er, men ni har inte velat höra. 4 Herren har gång på gång sänt till er alla sina tjänare profeterna, men ni har inte lyssnat eller vänt örat till för att höra, 5 när de sade: "Vänd om, var och en från sin onda väg och sina onda gärningar, så skall ni för all framtid få bo kvar i det land som Herren har givit åt er och era fäder. 6 Följ inte andra gudar, så att ni tjänar och tillber dem och väck inte min vrede genom era händers verk. Då skall jag inte heller låta olycka drabba er." 7 Men ni har inte lyssnat till mig, säger Herren, utan väckt min vrede genom era händers verk till er egen olycka.
8 Därför säger Herren Sebaot så: Eftersom ni inte har lyssnat till mina ord, 9 skall jag kalla på alla folkstammarna i norr, säger Herren, och jag skall sända efter min tjänare Nebukadressar, kungen i Babel. Och jag skall låta dem angripa detta land och dem som bor här, liksom alla hednafolken här omkring. Jag skall förgöra dem och de skall bli till häpnad och åtlöje och evig ödeläggelse. 10 Jag skall bland dem göra slut på rop av fröjd och rop av glädje, på rop för brudgum och rop för brud, på kvarnens buller och lampans ljus. 11 Hela detta land skall ödeläggas och förstöras, och dessa länder skall tjäna Babels kung i sjuttio år.
12 Men när sjuttio år har gått, skall jag straffa kungen i Babel och folket där för deras missgärning, säger Herren, och även kaldeernas land skall jag göra till en ödemark för all framtid. 13 Jag skall låta alla de ord som jag har talat mot det landet gå i uppfyllelse, allt som är skrivet i denna bok och som Jeremia har profeterat mot alla hednafolk. 14 Ty också dem skall mäktiga folk och stora kungar lägga under sig, och jag skall vedergälla dem efter deras gärningar och deras händers verk.
Guds dom över folken
15 Ty så sade Herren, Israels Gud, till mig: "Tag denna bägare med vredesvin ur min hand och låt alla de hednafolk som jag sänder dig till, dricka av den. 16 De skall dricka så att de raglar och förlorar förståndet på grund av det svärd som jag skall sända ibland dem." 17 Och jag tog bägaren ur Herrens hand, och alla de folk som Herren sände mig till gav jag att dricka, 18 nämligen Jerusalem med Juda städer, dess kungar och furstar, för att göra dem till en ödemark och till häpnad och åtlöje och till en förbannelse, som nu har skett, 19 vidare farao, kungen i Egypten, hans tjänare, hans furstar och allt hans folk 20 och alla blandade stammar där, alla kungar i landet Us och alla kungar i filisteernas land, både Askelon, Gaza, Ekron och dem som finns kvar i Asdod, 21 vidare Edom, Moab och Ammons barn samt alla kungar i Tyrus, 22 alla kungar i Sidon och kungarna i kustländerna på andra sidan havet, 23 vidare Dedan, Tema, Bus och alla dem som har kantklippt hår 24 och alla kungar i Arabien och alla kungar över de blandade stammar som bor i öknen 25 samt alla kungar i Simri, alla kungar i Elam och alla kungar i Medien, 26 slutligen alla kungar i landet i norr - både dem som bor nära och dem som bor långt borta, den ene såväl som den andre - och alla övriga riken i världen, ut över jordens yta. Och Sesaks[b] kung skall dricka efter dem.
27 Du skall säga till dem: Så säger Herren Sebaot, Israels Gud: Drick, så att ni blir druckna och spyr och faller omkull utan att kunna resa er på grund av det svärd som jag skall sända ibland er. 28 Men om de inte vill ta emot bägaren ur din hand och dricka, så säg till dem: Så säger Herren Sebaot: Ni måste dricka! 29 Ty se, med den stad som är uppkallad efter mitt namn skall jag börja straffdomen. Skulle då ni bli ostraffade? Nej, ni skall inte bli ostraffade, utan jag skall kalla på ett svärd mot jordens alla invånare, säger Herren Sebaot.
30 Allt detta skall du profetera för dem och säga till dem:
Herren ryter från höjden,
från sin heliga boning låter han sin röst höras.
Han ryter högt över sitt land
och höjer skörderop som en vintrampare
över jordens alla invånare.
31 Larmet hörs till jordens ände,
ty Herren går till rätta med hednafolken,
han skall döma allt kött.
De ogudaktiga överlämnar han åt svärdet, säger Herren.
32 Så säger Herren Sebaot:
Se, en ofärd går ut
från folk till folk
och en väldig storm stiger upp
från jordens yttersta ände.
33 De som på den dagen blir slagna av Herren
skall ligga från jordens ena ände till den andra.
Man skall inte hålla dödsklagan efter dem,
inte samla upp och begrava dem,
utan de skall bli gödsel på marken.
34 Jämra er, ni herdar, och klaga.
Vältra er på marken, ni ledare för hjorden.
Tiden är inne då ni skall slaktas
och ni skall skingras.
Ni skall falla sönder som ett dyrbart kärl.
35 Ingen tillflykt finns för herdarna,
ingen möjlighet att undkomma för hjordens ledare.
36 Hör herdarna ropa
och ledarna för hjorden jämra sig.
Ty Herren ödelägger deras betesmark,
37 och de fridfulla ängarna förstörs
på grund av Herrens brinnande vrede.
38 Likt ett ungt lejon drar han ut ur sitt snår.
Deras land blir en ödemark
på grund av förtryckarens svärd,
och hans brinnande vrede."

Jeremiah 25
King James Version
25 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
