Ezekiel 25

1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Ammons Børn, og spaa imod dem,

“Son of man, set your face against the people of Ammon and prophesy against them.

3 og sig til Ammons Børn: Hører den Herre, Herres Ord: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du sagde: Ha ha! over min Helligdom, fordi den er vanhelliget, og over Israels Land, fordi det er ødelagt, og over Judas Hus, fordi de ere vandrede i Landflygtighed:

Say to the people of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh. This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because you said, “Aha!” over my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile,

4 Derfor se, jeg vil give dig til Ejendom for Østens Folk, og de skulle opslaa deres Teltbyer i dig og sætte deres Boliger i dig; de skulle æde din Frugt, og de skulle drikke din Mælk.

therefore, behold, I am giving you to a people in the east as their possession. They will set up camp against you and set up their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk.

5 Og jeg vil gøre Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Børns Land til Faareleje; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the people of Ammon a field for flocks. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

6 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi du klappede i Haanden og stampede med Foden og glædede dig i al din Haan efter din Sjæls Lyst imod Israels Land:

For the Lord Yahweh says this: You have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt within you against the land of Israel.

7 Derfor se, jeg ud rækker min Haand imod dig og giver dig hen til Bytte for Folkene og udrydder dig af Folkeslægternes Tal og lader dig forsvinde af Lan dene; jeg vil ødelægge dig, og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

Therefore, behold! I will strike you with my hand and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from among the countries! I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'

8 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Moab og Sejr sige: Se, Judas Hus er ligesom alle Hedningerne:

The Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because Moab and Seir say, “Behold! The house of Judah is like every other nation.”

9 Derfor se, jeg vil aabne Moabs Side fra Stæderne af, fra dets Grænsestæder af, Landets Pryd, Beth-Jesimoth, Baal-Meon og Kirjathama,

Therefore, behold! I will open the slopes of Moab, starting at his cities on the border—the splendor of Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim—

10 for Østens Børn tillige med Ammons Børns Land, og jeg vil give dem det til Ejendom, paa det man ikke skal ihukomme Ammons Børn iblandt Folkene;

to the people of the east who have been against the people of Ammon. I will give them up as a possession so that the people of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.

11 og jeg vil holde Ret over Moab, at de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

So I will perform judgments against Moab, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'

12 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Edom tog en svar Hævn over Judas Hus og gjorde sig saare skyldig, da de hævnede sig paa dem:

The Lord Yahweh says this, 'Edom has taken vengeance against the house of Judah and has committed wrong in doing so.

13 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg vil udrække min Haand over Edom og udrydde Mennesker og Kvæg deraf: Og jeg vil gøre det øde fra Theman af, og indtil Dedan skulle de falde ved Sværdet;

Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I will strike Edom with my hand and destroy every person and animal there. I will make them a ruined, abandoned place, from Teman to Dedan. They will fall by the sword.

14 og jeg vil føre min Hævn over Edom ved mit Folk Israels Haand, og de skulle gøre ved Edom efter min Vrede og efter min Fortørnelse, og de skulle kende min Hævn, siger den Herre, Herre.

I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will do to Edom according to my anger and my fury, and they will know my vengeance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'

15 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Filisterne have taget Hævn og have hævnet sig svarlig i Haan efter deres Sjæls Lyst for at ødelægge med et evigt Fjendskab:

The Lord Yahweh says this, 'The Philistines have taken vengeance with malice and from within themselves they tried to destroy Judah again and again.

16 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil udrække min Haand over Filisterne og udrydde Kreterne; og jeg vil tilintetgøre de overblevne ved Havets Strand;

So this is what the Lord Yahweh says: Behold! I will reach out with my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites and destroy the remnant who are along the seacoast.

17 og jeg vil tage en stor Hævn over dem med grumme Straffe, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg fører min Hævn over dem.

For I will take great vengeance against them with furious acts of punishment, so they will know that I am Yahweh, when I take my vengeance on them.'”
