Ezekiel 26
1 Og det skete i det ellevte Aar, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, at Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
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;
“You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
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.
Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
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.
Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare 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.
Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
6 Og dens Døtre, som ere paa Landet, skulle ihjelslaaes med Sværdet; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
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.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
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.
[In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
9 Og han skal sætte Murbrækker imod dine Mure og nedbryde dine Taarne ved sine Sværd.
The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
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.
The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
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.
The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/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 take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
13 Og jeg vil bringe dine Sanges Bulder til at tie, og dine Harpers Klang skal ikke høres ydermere.
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
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.
The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
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?
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
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.
Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
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!
Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
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 on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
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:
This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
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.
then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
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 cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
