Ezekiel 29
1 I det tiende Aar, i den tiende Maaned, paa den tolvte Dag i Maaneden kom Herrens Ord til mig saaledes:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Farao, Kongen af Ægypten, og spaa imod ham og imod al Ægypten.
Son of man, let your face be turned against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and be a prophet against him and against all Egypt:
3 Tal og sig: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod dig, Farao, Konge i Ægypten, du, som er den store Drage, der ligger midt i sine Strømme, og som siger: Min Strøm er min, og jeg har skabt mig den.
Say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great river-beast stretched out among his Nile streams, who has said, The Nile is mine, and I have made it for myself.
4 Men jeg vil kaste Kroge i dine Kæver og lade Fiskene i dine Strømme hænge ved dine Skæl, og jeg vil trække dig op midt af dine Strømme tillige med alle de Fisk i dine Strømme, der hænge ved dine Skæl.
And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.
5 Og jeg vil kaste dig ud i Ørken, dig og alle Fisk fra dine Strømme, paa Marken skal du falde hen, du skal ikke samles til Hobe og ej sankes op, jeg har givet dig til Dyrene i Landet og til Fuglene under Himmelen som Føde.
And I will let you be in the waste land, you and all the fish of your streams: you will go down on the face of the land; you will not be taken up or put to rest in the earth; I have given you for food to the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven.
6 Og alle Ægyptens Indbyggere skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren. Fordi de have været Israels Hus en Rørkæp —
And it will be clear to all the people of Egypt that I am the Lord, because you have been a false support to the children of Israel.
7 naar de gribe din Haand, knækker du og splitter dem hver Skulder; og naar de støtte sig paa dig, sønderbrydes du og bringer dem alle Lænder til at vakle —
When they took a grip of you in their hands, you were crushed so that their arms were broken: and when they put their weight on you for support, you were broken and all their muscles gave way.
8 derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg lader et Sværd komme over dig, og jeg vil udrydde Mennesker og Kvæg af dig.
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am sending a sword on you, cutting off from you man and beast.
9 Og Ægyptens Land skal blive til Ødelæggelse og Øde; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren. Fordi han siger: Det er min Strøm, og jeg har skabt den:
And the land of Egypt will be an unpeopled waste; and they will be certain that I am the Lord: because he has said, The Nile is mine, and I made it.
10 Derfor se! vil jeg komme til dig og til dine Strømme og gøre Ægyptens Land til aldeles øde Ørkener, fra Migdol til Sy ene, og indtil Morlands Landemærke.
See, then, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an unpeopled waste, from Migdol to Syene, even as far as the edge of Ethiopia.
11 Der skal ikke gaa Menneskefod igennem det, og Fæs Fod skal ikke gaa der igennem; og det skal ikke bebos i fyrretyve Aar.
No foot of man will go through it and no foot of beast, and it will be unpeopled for forty years.
12 Og jeg vil gøre Ægyptens Land til et Øde midt iblandt de ødelagte Lande, og dets Stæder skulle blive øde midt iblandt de ødelagte Stæder, fyrretyve Aar; og jeg vil adsprede Ægypterne iblandt Folkene og strø dem ud i Landene.
I will make the land of Egypt a waste among the countries which are made waste, and her towns will be unpeopled among the towns which have been made waste, for forty years: and I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.
13 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar fyrretyve Aar ere til Ende, vil jeg samle Ægypterne hjem fra Folkene, hvorhen de vare adspredte.
For this is what the Lord has said: At the end of forty years I will get the Egyptians together from the peoples where they have gone in flight:
14 Og jeg vil vende Ægyptens Fangenskab og føre dem tilbage til Pathros Land, til deres Stammeland, og de skulle der være et ringe Rige.
I will let the fate of Egypt be changed, and will make them come back into the land of Pathros, into the land from which they came; and there they will be an unimportant kingdom.
15 Det skal være ringe fremfor andre Riger og ikke ophøje sig ydermere over Folkene; og jeg vil gøre dem ubetydelige, at de ikke skulle regere over Folkene.
It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.
16 Og det skal ikke ydermere være Israels Hus til Fortrøstning, saa at det bringer mig deres Synd i Erindring, naar disse vende sig om efter dem, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.
And Egypt will no longer be the hope of the children of Israel, causing sin to come to mind when their eyes are turned to them: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
17 Og det skete i det syv og tyvende Aar, i den første Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, at Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Du Menneskesøn! Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, har paalagt sin Krigshær et svart Arbejde imod Tyrus, saa at hvert Hoved er skaldet og hver Skulder opslidt, og Løn har han og hans Hær ikke faaet ud af Tyrus for det Arbejde, han har haft med den.
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made his army do hard work against Tyre, and the hair came off every head and every arm was rubbed smooth: but he and his army got no payment out of Tyre for the hard work which he had done against it.
19 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg giver Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, Ægyptens Land, og han skal tage dets Gods og bytte dets Bytte og røve dets Rov, og det skal være Løn for hans Hær.
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.
20 Som hans Løn, for hvilken han har tjent imod den, har jeg givet ham Ægyptens Land; thi for mig have de tjent, siger den Herre, Herre.
I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his hard work, because they were working for me, says the Lord.
21 Paa den Dag vil jeg lade et Horn skyde op for Israels Hus, og dig vil jeg give en opladt Mund midt iblandt dem; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
In that day I will make a horn put out buds for the children of Israel, and I will let your words come freely among them, and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
