Ezekiel 28
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Du Menneskesøn! sig til Tyrus's Fyrste: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi dit Hjerte ophøjede sig, og du sagde: Jeg er en Gud, jeg sidder paa Guds Sæde midt i Havet, medens du er et Menneske og ikke Gud og dog agtede dit Hjerte som Guds Hjerte;
“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, ‘I am God, and I sit in the chair of God, in the heart of the sea,’ though you are a man, and not God, and because you have presented your heart as if it were the heart of God:
3 — se, du er visere end Daniel; intet lønligt er skjult for dig;
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you.
4 du har forhvervet dig Formue ved din Visdom og ved din Forstand og bragt Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;
By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses.
5 du har formeret din Formue ved din megen Visdom i dit Købmandsskab, og dit Hjerte har ophøjet sig for din Formues Skyld: —
By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength.
6 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du agtede dit Hjerte som Guds Hjerte,
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God,
7 se, derfor vil jeg lade fremmede, de forfærdelige iblandt Folkene, komme over dig, og de skulle uddrage deres Sværd imod din Visdoms skønne Værk og vanhellige din Herlighed.
for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty.
8 De skulle kaste dig ned i Hulen, og du skal dø, som de gennemstungne dø midt i Havet.
They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea.
9 Mon du vel kan sige over for den, som ihjelslaar dig: Jeg er en Gud? medens du dog er et Menneske og ikke en Gud i hans Haand, som ihjelslaar dig.
So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, ‘I am God,’ though you are a man, and not God?
10 Du skal dø, som de uomskaarne dø, ved fremmedes Haand; thi jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre.
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.”
11 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre,
12 Du Menneskesøn! opløft et Klagemaal over Kongen af Tyrus, og sig til ham: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Du, som paatrykker den afpassede Ordning Seglet, du, som er fuld af Visdom og fuldkommen i Skønhed,
and you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of similitudes, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 du var i Eden, i Guds Have, alle Haande kostbare Stene bedækkede dig: Karneol, Topas og Demant, Krysolith, Onyks og Jaspis, Safir, Karbunkel og Smaragd og Guld; dine Trommer og dine Piber vare til Tjeneste hos dig, de vare beredte paa den Dag, du blev skabt.
You were with the delights of the Paradise of God. Every precious stone was your covering: sardius, topaz, and jasper, chrysolite, and onyx, and beryl, sapphire, and garnet, and emerald. The work of your beauty was of gold, and your fissures were ready in the day when you were formed.
14 Du var en salvet Kerub, som skærmede; og jeg havde sat dig dertil, du var paa Guds hellige Bjerg, du vandrede midt imellem gloende Stene.
You were a cherub, stretched out and protecting, and I stationed you on the holy mountain of God. You have walked in the midst of stones containing fire.
15 Du var fuldkommen i dine Veje fra den Dag af, du blev skabt, indtil Uretfærdighed blev funden i dig.
You were perfect in your ways, from the day of your formation, until iniquity was found in you.
16 Formedelst din store Handel fyldtes dit Indre af Uret, og du syndede; derfor fjernede jeg dig som vanhelliget fra Guds Bjerg og lod dig omkomme, du skærmende Kerub, at du ikke forblev imellem de gloende Stene.
By the multitude of your business dealings, your interior was filled with iniquity, and you sinned. And I cast you away from the mountain of God, and I perished you, O protecting cherub, from the midst of the stones containing fire.
17 Dit Hjerte ophøjede sig for din Skønheds Skyld, du ødelagde din Visdom tillige med din Herlighed! jeg henkastede dig paa Jorden, gav dig hen for Kongers Ansigt, at de skulle se paa dig.
And your heart was exalted by your beauty; you have destroyed your own wisdom by your beauty. I have cast you to the ground. I have presented you before the face of kings, so that they may examine you.
18 Ved dine Misgerningers Mangfoldighed under din uretfærdige Handel vanhelligede du dine Helligdomme, og jeg lod en Ild gaa ud fra din Midte, den fortærede dig, og jeg gjorde dig til Aske paa Jorden for alles Øjne, som se dig.
You have defiled your sanctuaries, by the multitude of your iniquities and by the iniquity of your business dealings. Therefore, I will produce a fire from your midst, which will consume you, and I will make you into ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all who are watching you.
19 Alle som dig kendte iblandt Folkene, forfærdes over dig; du er bleven til Gru og skal i Evighed ikke være mere.
All who gaze upon you among the Gentiles will be stupefied over you. You were made out of nothing, and you shall not be, forever.”
20 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Zidon, og spaa imod den,
“Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and you shall prophesy about it.
22 og sig: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod dig, Zidon! og jeg vil herliggøre mig i din Midte; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg holder Ret over den og helliggør mig ved den.
And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Sidon, and I will be glorified in your midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have executed judgments in her, and when I will have been sanctified in her.
23 Og jeg vil sende Pest i den og Blod paa dens Gader, og der skal falde ihjelslagne i dens Midte for Sværdet, som skal komme over den trindt omkring fra; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
And I will send a pestilence upon her, and there will be blood in her streets. And they will fall, slain by the sword, on every side in her midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 Og for Israels Hus skal der ikke ydermere være en Torn, som stikker, eller en Tidsel, som smerter, af alle dem, som ere trindt omkring dem, som haane dem, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.
And the house of Israel will no longer be a stumbling block of bitterness, nor a thorn bringing pain everywhere around them, to those who turn against them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
25 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar jeg samler Israels Hus hjem fra Folkene, iblandt hvilke de ere adspredte, da vil jeg helliggøre mig ved dem for Hedningernes Øjne, og de skulle bo i deres Land, som jeg har givet min Tjener Jakob.
Thus says the Lord God: “When I will have gathered together the house of Israel, from the peoples among whom they have been dispersed, I shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the Gentiles. And they shall live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Og de skulle bo tryggelig derudi og bygge Huse og plante Vingaarde, ja, bo tryggelig; naar jeg holder Ret over alle dem, som haanede dem trindt omkring dem; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg Herren er deres Gud.
And they shall live within it securely. And they shall build houses and plant vineyards. And they shall live in confidence, when I will have executed judgments upon all those who turn against them on every side. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God.”
