Ezekiel 23
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! der var to Kvinder, Døtre af een Moder,
“Son of man, there were once two women. They were daughters of the same mother.
3 og de bolede i Ægypten, i deres Ungdom bolede de; der trykkedes deres Bryster, og der befølte man deres jomfruelige Barm.
They became prostitutes in Egypt. In fact, they were prostitutes from the time they were young. They allowed their virgin breasts to be fondled and their nipples squeezed.
4 Og deres Navne vare: Ohola, den store, og Oholiba, hendes Søster; og de bleve mine og fødte Sønner og Døtre; og hvad deres Navne angaar, er Ohola Samaria, og Oholiba er Jerusalem.
The older girl was called Oholah, and her sister Oholibah. I married them both and they had sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 Og Ohola bolede og antog fremmede i mit Sted og brændte af Kærlighed til sine Bolere, til Assyrerne, som stode hende nær,
Oholah prostituted herself while she was still married to me. She wanted to have sex with her lovers, the Assyrians.
6 til dem, som vare klædte i blaat Purpur, Fyrster og Befalingsmænd, alle sammen yndige unge Karle, Ryttere, som rede paa Heste.
They were soldiers dressed in blue, leaders and commanders, all of them handsome young men in the cavalry.
7 Og hun vendte sine bolerske Lyster til dem, til alle de udvalgte af Assurs Børn; og ved alle dem, til hvilke hun brændte af Kærlighed, ved alle deres Afguder besmittede hun sig.
She gave away herself sexually to all the important men of Assyria. She made herself unclean by her worship of all the idols of those men she wanted to have sex with.
8 Og hun opgav ikke sit bolerske Væsen, som hun førte med sig fra Ægypten; thi de havde ligget hos hende i hendes Ungdom og havde befølt hendes jomfruelige Barm, og de havde udøst deres bolerske Lyster over hende.
She didn't stop her prostitution that she started in Egypt—men sleeping with her when she was young, squeezing her virgin breasts and using her to satisfy their sexual appetite.
9 Derfor gav jeg hende i hendes Boleres Haand, i Assurs Børns Haand, imod hvilke hun brændte af Kærlighed.
So I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians she wanted to have sex with.
10 De blottede hendes Blusel, borttoge hendes Sønner og hendes Døtre og ihjelsloge hende selv med Sværdet; og hun fik Navn iblandt Kvinderne, da man havde holdt Dom over hende.
They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became infamous among women, and they punished her.
11 Der hendes Søster Oholiba saa det, da drev hun det værre med sin Elskov end den anden og med sin Bolen værre end hendes Søsters Bolen.
Oholibah saw what happened to her sister, but she became even worse than her in her wanting sex and practicing prostitution.
12 Hun brændte af Kærlighed til Assyriens Børn, til Fyrster og Befalingsmænd, som stode hende nær og vare klædte paa det pragtfuldeste, Ryttere, som rede paa Heste, alle sammen yndige unge Karle.
She also wanted to have sex with the Assyrians: their leaders and commanders, their splendidly-dressed soldiers—all of them handsome young men in the cavalry.
13 Og jeg saa, at hun var besmittet, de gik begge een Vej.
I saw that she had also made herself unclean—both sisters were doing the same thing.
14 Og hun drev sin Bolen end videre; der hun saa Mænd malede paa Væggen, Billeder af Kaldæer, malede med rødt,
However, Oholibah's prostitution was even worse. She saw pictures of Babylonian soldiers wearing bright red uniforms painted on the wall.
15 ombundne med Bælte om deres Lænder, med farvede Huer paa deres Hoveder, alle sammen af Anseelse som Høvedsmænd, efter Babels Børns Lignelse, hvis Fødeland er Kaldæa:
They were wearing belts on their waists and large turbans on their heads. They all looked like Babylonian officers in Chaldea, the country where they were born.
16 Da brændte hun af Kærlighed til dem, saa snart hun saa dem med sine Øjne, og hun sendte Bud til dem til Kaldæa.
When she saw the paintings of them, she wanted to have sex with them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17 Og Babels Børn kom til hende, til Elskovsleje, og de besmittede hende med deres Bolen, og hun besmittede sig ved dem; derefter vendte hendes Sjæl sig fra dem.
The Babylonians came to her and her love bed, and made her unclean with their sexual desire. However, after she had been dishonored by them, she rejected them in disgust.
18 Og hun drev sin Bolen aabenbart og blottede sin Blusel; og min Sjæl vendte sig fra hende, ligesom min Sjæl havde vendt sig fra hendes Søster.
When Oholibah so blatantly prostituted herself, exposing herself naked, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had done to her sister.
19 Dog udvidede hun sin bolerske Handel, idet hun kom sin Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da hun bolede i Ægyptens Land.
But she practiced even more prostitution, remembering how she'd been a prostitute in Egypt when she was young.
20 Og hun brændte af Kærlighed til deres Bolere, hvis Kød var som Aseners Kød, og hvis Brynde var som Hestes Brynde.
She wanted to have sex with her lovers who had genitals like donkeys and who ejaculated like stallions.
21 Saa søgte du igen til din Ungdoms Skændsel, da de fra Ægypten befølte din Barm for din Ungdoms Brysters Skyld.
You went back to the indecent acts when you were young, when the Egyptians squeezed your nipples and fondled your young breasts.
22 Derfor, Oholiba! saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil opvække dine Bolere imod dig, dem, fra hvilke din Sjæl har vendt sig bort, og lade dem komme over dig trindt omkring fra:
So Oholibah, this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to encourage your lovers to attack you, those you rejected in disgust. I will bring them to attack you from every direction:
23 Babels Børn og alle Kaldæer, Pekod og Skoa og Koa, alle Assurs Børn med dem, yndige unge Karle, Fyrster og Befalingsmænd alle sammen, Høvedsmænd og ansete Mænd, som alle sammen ride paa Heste.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians along with them—all handsome young men, leaders and commanders, chariot captains and important officers, all riding horses.
24 Og de skulle komme imod dig med Rustvogne, Vogne og Hjul og med en Skare af Folk med store Skjolde og smaa Skjolde og Hjelme; de skulle lejre sig imod dig trindt omkring; og jeg vil overgive dem Dommen, og de skulle dømme dig efter deres Ret.
They will attack you from the north, invading with a great army, chariots, and wagons. They will come with their shields and helmets and surround you. I will hand you over to them for punishment, and they will judge and punish you following their own laws.
25 Og jeg vil rette min Nidkærhed imod dig, at de skulle handle med dig i Grumhed, de skulle borttage din Næse og dine Øren, og hvad der bliver tilovers af dig, skal falde for Sværdet; de skulle tage dine Sønner og dine Døtre, og hvad der bliver tilovers af dig, skal fortæres med Ild.
I feel so strongly about what you've done that I will oppose you, and they will treat you very badly. They will cut off your noses and ears, and they will kill those of you who are left. They will take away your sons and daughters as prisoners, and those of you who are left will be destroyed by fire.
26 Og de skulle trække dine Klæder af dig og tage din Prydelses Tøj.
They will tear off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry.
27 Saa vil jeg bringe din Skændsel til at høre op hos dig og din Bolen fra Ægyptens Land, og du skal ikke opløfte dine Øjne til dem og ikke ydermere komme Ægypten i Hu.
I'm going to put a stop to your immorality and prostitution, which started in Egypt. You won't think longingly about those times, and you'll forget all about Egypt.
28 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg giver dig i deres Haand, som du hader, i deres Haand, som din Sjæl har vendt sig fra.
For this is what the Lord God says: Believe it when I say that I'm going to hand you over to the people you hate, the ones you rejected in disgust.
29 Og de skulle handle med dig i Had og tage alt dit Erhverv og forlade dig nøgen og bar; og din bolerske Blusel og din Skændsel og din Bolen skal blive aabenbar.
They will treat you with hatred. They will take away everything you've worked for, leaving you stark naked with nothing, so that so that the indecent acts of your prostitution will be exposed. Your immorality and prostitution
30 Dette skal gøres imod dig, fordi du ved din Bolen er gaaet efter Hedningerne, fordi du besmittede dig ved deres Afguder.
is why all this has happened to you, because you acted as a prostitute with the nations and made yourself unclean by worshiping their idols.
31 Du har gaaet paa din Søsters Vej, og jeg vil give hendes Bæger i din Haand.
Because you did what your sister did, I will give you her cup to drink.
32 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Du skal drikke af din Søsters Bæger, som er dybt og vidt; det skal blive til Latter og til Spot, da det holder meget i sig.
This is what the Lord God says: You will drink from your sister's cup—a large, deep cup. You will be laughed at and insulted. You'll have to endure much of this.
33 Du skal fyldes af Beruselse og Bedrøvelse; Forskrækkelses og Ødelæggelses Bæger er din Søsters, Samarias, Bæger.
It will make you drunk and full of grief because it's a cup of that brings horror and destruction, the cup your sister Samaria drank from.
34 Og du skal drikke og udsuge det, og sønderbryde Skaarene deraf og afrive dine Bryster; thi jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre.
You will drink it all down, smash it to pieces on the ground, and tear at your breasts. This is what I have spoken, declares the Lord God.
35 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi du glemte mig og kastede mig bag din Ryg, saa bær du nu ogsaa din Skændsel og din Bolen.
In summary this is what the Lord God says: Because you have forgotten about me and have ignored me, you will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and prostitution.”
36 Og Herren sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! vil du dømme Ohola og Oholiba? forkynd dem dog deres Vederstyggeligheder;
Then the Lord said to me: “Son of man, are you going to condemn Oholah and Oholibah? Expose the disgusting things they've done!
37 thi de have bedrevet Hor, og der er Blod paa deres Hænder, og de have bedrevet Hor med deres Afguder; tilmed lode de deres Børn, som de havde født mig, gaa igennem Ilden for dem til at fortæres.
For they have committed adultery, and they are guilty of murder. They have committed adultery with their idols, and have even offered their children, whom they had for me, as sacrifices to their idols.
38 Endnu dette have de gjort mig: De have besmittet min Helligdom paa den samme Dag og vanhelliget mine Sabbater.
They also did this to me: On the very same day they both made my sanctuary unclean and violated my Sabbaths.
39 Og der de havde slagtet deres Børn for deres Afguder, da gik de samme Dag i min Helligdom til at vanhellige den; og se, saaledes have de gjort midt udi mit Hus.
On very day that they killed their children for their idols, they went my sanctuary and made it unclean. Look at what they did right inside my Temple!
40 Og de sendte ogsaa Bud efter Mænd, som kom langvejs fra; til hvilke der var sendt Bud, og se, de kom, for hvilke du badede dig, sminkede dine Øjne og prydede dig dejligt;
They even kept on sending messengers for men to come from far away. When the men arrived, you would get yourselves ready for them by bathing, doing your eye makeup, and putting in your jewelry.
41 og du satte dig paa en herlig Seng, og der var et Bord dækket foran den, og du havde sat min Røgelse og min Olie derpaa.
You sat on an expensive couch, with my incense and my oil on a table placed in front of it.
42 Og Lyden af Bulderet blev stille der, og til Mændene af Folkehoben bragtes Drankere fra Ørken, og de satte Armbaand paa deres Hænder og en dejlig Krone paa deres Hoveder.
The room was full of the noise of people partying. Drunk men were brought in from the desert along with some common people and they put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
43 Og jeg sagde om hende, som var for gammel til Hor: Nu skal man til Gavns bole med hende, ja, med hende.
Then I said about the old worn-out woman, ‘Now they can have her as a prostitute because that's what she is!’
44 Og man kom til hende, som man kommer til en bolersk Kvinde; saaledes kom de til Ohola og til Oholiba, de skændige Kvinder.
So they had sex with her like a prostitute. They had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those immoral women.
45 Og retfærdige Mænd, de skulle dømme dem, som Horkvinder dømmes, og som de Kvinder dømmes, der udøse Blod; thi de ere Horkvinder, og der er Blod paa deres Hænder.
But men who believe in what's right will judge them and impose the punishment for committing commit adultery and murder, because they are adulterers and murderers.
46 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg fører en Forsamling op imod dem og giver dem hen til Ustadighed og til Rov,
This is what the Lord God says: Have a mob attack them! Make them terrified and rob them.
47 og de forsamlede skulle stene dem med Stene og sønderhugge dem med deres Sværd; de skulle ihjelslaa deres Sønner og deres Døtre og opbrænde deres Huse med Ild.
The mob will stone them and kill them with their swords, slaughtering their sons and daughters and burning down their houses.
48 Og jeg vil udrydde Skændsel af Landet, og alle Kvinder skulle lade sig advare, at de ikke gøre efter eders Skændsel.
This is how I will put an end to immorality in the country, and all the women will be warned not to do what you have done.
49 Og de skulle lægge eders Skændsel paa eder, og I skulle bære Synderne, I begik med eders Afguder, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.
They will punish you for your immorality, and you will have to experience the consequences of your idol worship. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.”
