Ezekiel 28
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
The word of the LORD came again 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, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says the LORD: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
3 — se, du er visere end Daniel; intet lønligt er skjult for dig;
look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden 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 by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into 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 great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches"—
6 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du agtede dit Hjerte som Guds Hjerte,
therefore thus says the LORD: "Because you have set your heart as 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.
therefore, look, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
8 De skulle kaste dig ned i Hulen, og du skal dø, som de gennemstungne dø midt i Havet.
They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
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 yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 Du skal dø, som de uomskaarne dø, ved fremmedes Haand; thi jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre.
You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says the LORD.'"
11 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Moreover 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 over the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "You seal up the sum, 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 in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
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 the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down 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 perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness 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 abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from 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 was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see 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.
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 Alle som dig kendte iblandt Folkene, forfærdes over dig; du er bleven til Gru og skal i Evighed ikke være mere.
All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"
20 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
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 toward 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: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be 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.
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; 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.
"'There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned 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: 'When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell 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.
They shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'"
