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;
And you, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus says the Lord; Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet you are man and not God, though you have set your heart as the heart of God:
3 — se, du er visere end Daniel; intet lønligt er skjult for dig;
are you wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed you with their knowledge?
4 du har forhvervet dig Formue ved din Visdom og ved din Forstand og bragt Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;
Hast you gained power for yourself by your [own] knowledge or your [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in your treasures?
5 du har formeret din Formue ved din megen Visdom i dit Købmandsskab, og dit Hjerte har ophøjet sig for din Formues Skyld: —
By your abundant knowledge and your traffic you have multiplied your power; your heart has been lifted up by your power.
6 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du agtede dit Hjerte som Guds Hjerte,
Therefore thus says the Lord; Since you have set your heart as the hart 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.
because of this, behold, I [will] bring on you strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against you, and against the beauty of your knowledge,
8 De skulle kaste dig ned i Hulen, og du skal dø, som de gennemstungne dø midt i Havet.
and they shall bring down your beauty to destruction. And they shall bring you down; and you shall die the death of the 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.
Will you indeed say, I am God, before them that kill you? whereas you are 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 shall perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, says the Lord.
11 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
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,
Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God; You are a seal of resemblance, and crown of 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 in the delight of the paradise of God; you have bound upon you every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and you have filled your treasures and your stores in you with gold.
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.
From the day that you were created you [was] with the cherub: I set you on the holy mount of God; you were in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Du var fuldkommen i dine Veje fra den Dag af, du blev skabt, indtil Uretfærdighed blev funden i dig.
You were faultless in your days, from the day that you were created, 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.
Of the abundance of your merchandise you have filled your storehouses with iniquity, and have sinned: therefore you have been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought you out of the midst of the stones of 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.
Your heart has been lifted up because of your beauty; your knowledge has been corrupted with your beauty: because of the multitude of your sins I have cast you to the ground, I have caused you to be put to open shame before kings.
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.
Because of the multitude of your sins and the iniquities of your merchandise, I have profaned your sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of you, this shall devour you; and I will make you [to be] ashes upon your land before all that see you.
19 Alle som dig kendte iblandt Folkene, forfærdes over dig; du er bleven til Gru og skal i Evighed ikke være mere.
And all that know you among the nations shall groan over you: you are gone to destruction, and you shall not exist any more.
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 prophesy against 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 say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in you; and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in you, and I will be sanctified in you.
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.
Blood and death [shall be] in your streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in you and on every side of you; 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 there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonored them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their 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.
Yes, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonored them, [even] on those [that are] round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
