Jeremía 3
Icelandic Bible
3 Þegar maður rekur frá sér konu sína, og hún fer frá honum og giftist öðrum manni, getur hann þá horfið til hennar aftur? Mundi landið ekki vanhelgast af því? En þú hefir drýgt hór með mörgum friðlum og ættir þó að snúa aftur til mín! _ segir Drottinn.
2 Renn augum þínum upp á skóglausu hæðirnar og gæt að: Hvar hefir þú eigi hórast? Við vegina situr þú um friðla eins og Arabi í eyðimörkinni og vanhelgar landið með lauslæti þínu og vonsku þinni.
3 Og þótt skúrunum væri haldið aftur og ekkert vorregn kæmi, þá varst þú með hórusvip, þú vildir ekki skammast þín.
4 En nú kallar þú til mín: "Faðir minn! Þú ert unnusti æsku minnar!"
5 Þú hugsar: "Mun hann verða reiður eilíflega, alltaf erfa það?" Sjá, þannig talar þú, en fremur illt og getur fengið það af þér.
6 Drottinn sagði við mig á dögum Jósía konungs: Hefir þú séð, hvað hin fráhverfa Ísrael hefir aðhafst? Hún fór upp á hverja háa hæð og inn undir hvert grænt tré og hóraðist þar.
7 Ég hugsaði raunar: Eftir að hún hefir aðhafst allt þetta, mun hún snúa aftur til mín. En hún sneri ekki aftur. Það sá hin ótrúa systir hennar, Júda,
8 og þótt hún sæi, að einmitt vegna þess, að hin fráhverfa Ísrael hafði drýgt hór, hafði ég rekið hana burt og gefið henni skilnaðarskrá, þá óttaðist ekki hin ótrúa systir hennar, Júda, heldur fór og drýgði líka hór,
9 og með hinu léttúðarfulla lauslæti sínu vanhelgaði hún landið og drýgði hór með steini og trédrumbi.
10 En þrátt fyrir allt þetta hefir hin ótrúa systir hennar, Júda, eigi snúið sér til mín af öllu hjarta, heldur með hræsni _ segir Drottinn.
11 Drottinn sagði við mig: Hin fráhverfa Ísrael er saklaus í samanburði við hina ótrúu Júda.
12 Far þú og kalla þessi orð í norðurátt og seg: Hverf aftur, þú hin fráhverfa Ísrael _ segir Drottinn _, ég vil ekki lengur líta reiðulega til þín, því að ég er miskunnsamur _ segir Drottinn _, ég er ekki eilíflega reiður.
13 Kannastu aðeins við ávirðing þína, að þú hefir rofið trúnað við Drottin, Guð þinn, og hlaupið ýmsar leiðir til þess að gefa þig á vald útlendum guðum undir hverju grænu tré, en minni raust hafið þér ekki hlýtt _ segir Drottinn.
14 Hverfið aftur, þér fráhorfnu synir _ segir Drottinn _, því að ég er herra yðar. Og ég vil taka yður, einn úr hverri borg og tvo af hverjum kynstofni, og flytja yður til Síonar,
15 og ég vil gefa yður hirða eftir mínu hjarta, og þeir munu gæta yðar með greind og hyggindum.
16 Á þeim dögum, þegar yður fjölgar og þér verðið frjósamir í landinu _ segir Drottinn _, þá munu menn eigi framar segja: "Sáttmálsörk Drottins!" Hún mun engum í hug koma, og þeir munu ekki minnast hennar né sakna hennar, né heldur munu menn framar búa aðra til.
17 Þá munu menn kalla Jerúsalem "hásæti Drottins" og allar þjóðir munu safnast þangað vegna nafns Drottins og eigi framar fara eftir þrjósku síns vonda hjarta.
18 Á þeim dögum mun Júda hús ganga til Ísraels húss, og þeir munu halda saman úr landinu norður frá inn í landið, sem ég gaf feðrum yðar til eignar.
19 Ég hafði hugsað: Hversu hátt vil ég setja þig meðal barnanna og gefa þér unaðslegt land, hina dýrlegustu arfleifð meðal allra þjóða! Og enn fremur hugsaði ég: Þér skuluð nefna mig föður og eigi láta af að fylgja mér.
20 En eins og kona verður ótrú elskhuga sínum, eins urðuð þér ótrúir mér, Ísraels hús _ segir Drottinn.
21 Hljóð heyrist á skóglausu hæðunum: grátbiðjandi kvein Ísraelsmanna, af því að þeir hafa breytt illa og gleymt Drottni Guði sínum.
22 "Hverfið aftur, þér fráhorfnu synir, ég vil lækna fráhvarfssyndir yðar!" "Hér erum vér, vér komum til þín, því að þú ert Drottinn Guð vor."
23 Vissulega er hávaðinn á hæðunum svikull. Vissulega er hjálp Ísraels hjá Drottni, Guði vorum.
24 Falsguðinn hefir eytt afla feðra vorra allt frá æsku vorri, sauðum þeirra og nautum, sonum þeirra og dætrum.
25 Vér skulum leggjast niður í smán vorri, og skömm vor hylji oss, því að á móti Drottni Guði vorum höfum vér syndgað, bæði vér og feður vorir, frá æsku vorri og allt fram á þennan dag, og höfum eigi hlýtt raustu Drottins Guðs vors.
Jeremiah 3
New International Version
Jeremiah 3
New International Version
3 “If a man divorces(A) his wife
and she leaves him and marries another man,
should he return to her again?
Would not the land be completely defiled?(B)
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers(C)—
would you now return to me?”(D)
declares the Lord.
2 “Look up to the barren heights(E) and see.
Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside(F) you sat waiting for lovers,
sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land(G)
with your prostitution(H) and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(I)
and no spring rains(J) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(K) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(L)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(M) my friend from my youth,(N)
5 will you always be angry?(O)
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”
Unfaithful Israel
6 During the reign of King Josiah,(P) the Lord said to me, “Have you seen what faithless(Q) Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree(R) and has committed adultery(S) there. 7 I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister(T) Judah saw it.(U) 8 I gave faithless Israel(V) her certificate of divorce(W) and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear;(X) she also went out and committed adultery. 9 Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land(Y) and committed adultery(Z) with stone(AA) and wood.(AB) 10 In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return(AC) to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,(AD)” declares the Lord.(AE)
11 The Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel is more righteous(AF) than unfaithful(AG) Judah.(AH) 12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north:(AI)
“‘Return,(AJ) faithless(AK) Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’(AL) declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry(AM) forever.
13 Only acknowledge(AN) your guilt—
you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign gods(AO)
under every spreading tree,(AP)
and have not obeyed(AQ) me,’”
declares the Lord.
14 “Return,(AR) faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband.(AS) I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. 15 Then I will give you shepherds(AT) after my own heart,(AU) who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. 16 In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark(AV) of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered;(AW) it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. 17 At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne(AX) of the Lord, and all nations(AY) will gather in Jerusalem to honor(AZ) the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.(BA) 18 In those days the people of Judah will join the people of Israel,(BB) and together(BC) they will come from a northern(BD) land to the land(BE) I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.
19 “I myself said,
“‘How gladly would I treat you like my children
and give you a pleasant land,(BF)
the most beautiful inheritance(BG) of any nation.’
I thought you would call me ‘Father’(BH)
and not turn away from following me.
20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
so you, Israel, have been unfaithful(BI) to me,”
declares the Lord.
21 A cry is heard on the barren heights,(BJ)
the weeping(BK) and pleading of the people of Israel,
because they have perverted their ways
and have forgotten(BL) the Lord their God.
“Yes, we will come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(BP)
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
is the salvation(BQ) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(BR) gods have consumed
the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,(BS)
and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned(BT) against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors;(BU)
from our youth(BV) till this day
we have not obeyed(BW) the Lord our God.”
Jeremiah 3
King James Version
Jeremiah 3
King James Version
3 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.
