Ezekiel 26

1 Og det skete i det ellevte Aar, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, at Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And it happened that, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Du Menneskesøn! fordi Tyrus siger over Jerusalem: Ha ha! sønderbrudt er Folkenes Port; det har vendt sig til mig; jeg vil blive fyldt, den er ødelagt;

“Son of man, because Tyre has said about Jerusalem: ‘It is Well! The gates of the peoples have been broken! She has been turned toward me. I will be filled. She will be deserted!’

3 derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Tyrus! og jeg vil føre mange Folkefærd op imod dig, ligesom Havet rejser sine Bølger.

because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to rise up against you, just as the waves of the sea rise up.

4 Og de skulle ødelægge Murene om Tyrus og nedbryde dens Taarne, og jeg vil bortfeje dens Støv af den og gøre den til en solbrændt Klippe.

And they will break apart the walls of Tyre, and they will destroy its towers. And I will scrape her dust from her, and I will make her into the barest rock.

5 Den skal blive til at udbrede Fiskegarn paa midt i Havet; thi jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre; og den skal vorde til Bytte for Folkene.

She will be a drying place for nets from the midst of the sea. For I have spoken, says the Lord God. And she will be a spoil for the Gentiles.

6 Og dens Døtre, som ere paa Landet, skulle ihjelslaaes med Sværdet; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

Likewise, her daughters who are in the field will be slain by the sword. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil lade Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, komme imod Tyrus fra Norden, ham, som er Kongers Konge, med Heste og med Vogne og med Ryttere og med en Skare og meget Folk.

For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead into Tyre: Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, a king among kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and a great people.

8 Dine Døtre paa Landet skal han ihjelslaa med Sværdet; og han skal sætte Vagttaarne op imod dig og opkaste en Vold imod dig og oprejse et Skjoldtag imod dig.

Your daughters who are in the field, he will kill with the sword. And he will surround you with fortifications, and he will put together a rampart on all sides. And he will lift up a shield against you.

9 Og han skal sætte Murbrækker imod dine Mure og nedbryde dine Taarne ved sine Sværd.

And he will combine moveable shelters and battering rams before your walls, and he will destroy your towers with his armaments.

10 Formedelst Mangfoldigheden af hans Heste skal deres Støv bedække dig; dine Mure skulle ryste af Rytteres og Hjuls og Vognes Lyd, naar han drager ind ad dine Porte, ligesom man drager ind i en stormet Stad.

He will cover you with the inundation of his horses and with their dust. Your walls will shake at the sound of horsemen and wheels and chariots, when they will have entered your gates, as if through the entrance of a city that has been broken open.

11 Han skal nedtrampe alle dine Gader med sine Hestes Hove; han skal ihjelslaa dit Folk med Sværdet, og dine stærke Støtter skulle falde til Jorden.

With the hoofs of his horses, he will trample all your streets. He will cut down your people with the sword, and your noble statues will fall to the ground.

12 Og de skulle røve dit Gods og gøre dine Varer til Bytte og nedbryde dine Mure og nedrive dine lystelige Huse, og de skulle kaste dine Stene og dit Tømmer og dit Støv midt ud i Vandet.

They will lay waste to your wealth. They will despoil your businesses. And they will tear down your walls and overturn your eminent houses. And they will put your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of the waters.

13 Og jeg vil bringe dine Sanges Bulder til at tie, og dine Harpers Klang skal ikke høres ydermere.

And I will cause the multitude of your songs to cease. And the sound of your stringed instruments will no longer be heard.

14 Jeg vil gøre dig til en solbrændt Klippe, du skal blive til at udbrede Fiskegarn paa, du skal ikke ydermere bygges; thi jeg Herren, jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre.

And I will make you like the barest rock; you will be a drying place for nets. And you will no longer be built up. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.”

15 Saa siger den Herre, Herre til Tyrus: Mon Øerne ikke skulle bæve ved Lyden af dit Fald, naar de saarede jamre sig, naar Mord rase i din Midte?

Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: “Will not the islands shake at the sound of your ruin and at the groans of your slain, when they will have been cut down in your midst?

16 Og alle Fyrster ved Havet skulle nedstige af deres Troner og aflægge deres Kapper og afføre sig deres stukne Klæder; de skulle iføre sig Forfærdelse, sidde paa Jorden og forfærdes hvert Øjeblik og forskrækkes over dig.

And all the leaders of the sea will descend from their thrones. And they will cast aside their outer garments and their colorful clothing, and they will be clothed in stupor. They will sit on the ground, and they will wonder with astonishment at your sudden downfall.

17 Og de skulle opløfte et Klagemaal over dig og sige til dig: Hvorledes er du gaaet til Grunde, du Havets Beboerinde? den lovpriste Stad, som var fast i Havet, den og dens Indbyggere, som udbredte Skræk for sig over alle dem, som boede der!

And taking up a lamentation over you, they will say to you: ‘How could you have perished, you who live in the sea, the famous city that was strong in the sea, with your inhabitants, of whom the whole world was in dread?’

18 Nu skulle Øerne forfærdes paa dit Falds Dag, og Øerne, som ere i Havet, skulle forskrækkes over den Udgang, det tog med dig.

Now the ships will be stupefied, in the day of your terror. And the islands of the sea will be disturbed, because no one goes out from you.

19 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar jeg gør dig til en ødelagt Stad som Stæderne, i hvilke man ikke mere bor; naar jeg lader Dybet stige op over dig, og de mange Vande bedække dig:

For thus says the Lord God: When I will have made you a desolate city, like the cities that are uninhabited, and when I will have led the abyss over you, and many waters will have covered you,

20 Da vil jeg kaste dig ned til dem, som fare ned i Hulen, til Oldtidens Folk, og lade dig bo i Underverdenens Land, i Ørkenerne fra Oldtiden hos dem, som fore ned i Hulen, paa det du ikke mere skal bebos; men jeg vil give Herlighed i de levendes Land.

and when I will have dragged you down with those who descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and when I will have assembled you in the lowest parts of the earth, like the desolate places of antiquity, with those who have been brought down into the pit, so that you will be uninhabited, and moreover, when I will have given glory to the land of the living:

21 Jeg vil gøre dig til Gru, og du skal ikke være mere; naar der spørges om dig, da skal du ikke findes ydermere evindelig, siger den Herre, Herre.

I will reduce you to nothing, and you shall not be, and if you are sought, you will no longer be found, in perpetuity, says the Lord God.”
