Ezekiel 32

1 Og det skete i det tolvte Aar, i den tolvte Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, at Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Du Menneskesøn! opløft et Klagemaal over Farao, Kongen af Ægypten, og sig til ham: Du blev lignet med en ung Løve iblandt Folkene, men du var som en Drage i Havet, du brød frem i dine Strømme, og plumrede Vandene med dine Fødder og trampede i deres Strømme.

“Son of man, sing a funeral song for Pharaoh king of Egypt and tell him: You think you're like a lion among the nations but in reality you're like a sea monster. You roll around in your rivers, stirring up the waters with your feet, making the water muddy.

3 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Derfor vil jeg udbrede mit Garn over dig ved en Forsamling af mange Folkeslag, og de skulle trække dig op i mit Vod.

This is what the Lord God says: In the presence of many nations I'm going to spread my net over you, and they will pull you up in my net.

4 Og jeg vil kaste dig op paa Landet og slænge dig hen oven paa Marken; og jeg vil lade alle Himmelens Fugle sætte sig paa dig og mætte de vride Dyr paa hele Jorden af dig.

I will drop you on the land; I will throw you down on the bare earth. I will make all the birds of prey come and land you; I will have all the wild animals eat you until they're satisfied.

5 Og jeg vil kaste dit Kød paa Bjergene og fylde Dalene med din store Krop.

I will dump your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.

6 Og jeg vil væde Landet med, hvad der udstrømmer af dig, med dit Blod, indtil Bjergene, og Flodsengene skulle blive fulde af dig.

I will fill the land with your flowing blood, pouring it out on the mountains, filling the valleys.

7 Og naar jeg udslukker dig, vil jeg bedække Himmelen og formørke dens Stjerner; Solen vil jeg bedække med en Sky, og Maanen skal ikke lade sit Lys skinne.

When I put out the light of your life, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will use a cloud to cover the sun, and the moon will stop shining.

8 Jeg vil lade alle klare Lys paa Himmelen formørkes for din Skyld, og jeg vil lægge Mørke over dit Land, siger den Herre, Herre.

I will darken all the bright lights in the heavens above you, and I will make your land go dark, declares the Lord God.

9 Og jeg vil bedrøve mange Folks Hjerter, naar jeg bringer dit Fald ud iblandt Folkene, i de Lande, som du ikke har kendt.

When I destroy you I will make many people frightened, even in countries you don't know anything about.

10 Og jeg vil gøre, at mange Folk skulle forfærdes over dig, og deres Konger skulle gyse saare over dig, naar jeg lader mit Sværd blinke for deres Ansigt; og de skulle bæve alle Øjeblikke, hver for sit Liv, paa dit Falds Dag.

Many will be shocked at what I do to you, and their kings will be horrified at what has happened to you, trembling when I wave my sword in front of them. On the day that you fall all of them will shake in fear for their lives.

11 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Kongen af Babels Sværd skal komme over dig.

For this is what the Lord God says: The sword of the king of Babylon will attack you!

12 Jeg vil lade din Hob falde for de vældiges Sværd, for dem, som alle sammen ere de forfærdelige iblandt Folkene; og de skulle ødelægge Ægyptens Stolthed, at al dets Hob skal gaa til Grunde.

I will allow your army to be defeated, your soldiers killed by the swords of the powerful enemy army from the cruelest of all nations. They will ruin of the glories of Egypt and destroy all your people.

13 Og jeg vil ødelægge alt dets Kvæg, at det ej bliver ved de mange Vande, og dem skal intet Menneskes Fod mere plumre; og heller intet Dyrs Klove skulle plumre dem.

I will slaughter all your livestock living beside the wide rivers. Nobody will be there to stir rivers up with their feet; no livestock hooves will make them muddy.

14 Da vil jeg lade deres Vande klare sig og lade deres Floder flyde som Olie, siger den Herre, Herre,

I will allow their waters to settle and I will make her rivers flow smoothly like oil, declares the Lord God.

15 naar jeg gør Ægyptens Land til en Ødelæggelse, og Landet bliver øde for det, som det er fuldt af, naar jeg slaar alle dets Indbyggere; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

When I turn Egypt into a wasteland, completely emptying it out, when I kill everyone who lives there, then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.

16 Det er et Klagemaal, og man skal synge det, Hedningernes Døtre skulle synge det; over Ægypten og over al dets Hob skulle de synge det, siger den Herre, Herre.

This is the funeral song that foreign women will sing. They will sing it in mourning over Egypt and all its many people, declares the Lord God.”

17 Og det skete i det tolvte Aar, paa den femtende Dag i Maaneden, da kom Herrens Ord til mig, saaledes:

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

18 Du Menneskesøn! istem en Sørgesang over Ægyptens Hob, og lad den fare ned, den og Døtrene af herlige Folkefærd, til Underverdenens Land, til dem, som nedfare i Hulen.

“Son of man, weep for all the many Egyptians. Send them along with the people of powerful nations down into the depths of the earth with those who go down into the grave.

19 Hvem overgaar du i Dejlighed? far ned, læg dig ved de uomskaarne!

Do you think you're more beautiful than anyone else? Go down and take your place in the grave with the heathen!

20 Midt iblandt dem, som ere ihjelslagne ved Sværd, skulle de falde; Sværdet er givet, trækker det ned med alle dets Hobe!

They will lie among those killed by the sword. A sword is ready to kill all the many people of Egypt.

21 De vældiges Fyrster tale om ham midt fra Dødsriget, med hans Hjælpere; de ere nedfarne, de ligge der, de uomskaarne, ihjelslagne med Sværd. (Sheol h7585)

Powerful chiefs will speak from Sheol about Egypt and its allies: ‘They have come down here and lie with the heathen, with those killed by the sword.’ (Sheol h7585)

22 Der er Assur og al dets Forsamling, trindt omkring ham ere deres Grave, alle sammen ere de ihjelslagne, de, som faldt ved Sværd;

Assyria is there with all its people—it's surrounded by graves. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword.

23 dets Grave ere lagte i Hulens nederste Dyb, og dets Forsamling er trindt omkring dets Grav; de ere alle ihjelslagne, faldne ved Sværd, de, som voldte Forskrækkelse i de levendes Land.

Its graves are set in the deepest parts of the place of the dead, and the graves of all its people surround Assyria's grave. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword, these people who once terrorized others when they were alive.

24 Der er Elam og al dets Hob trindt omkring i dets Grav; alle sammen ere de ihjelslagne, de, som faldt ved Sværd, hvilke som uomskaarne fore ned til Underverdenens Land og havde voldt Forskrækkelse for sig i de levendes Land, og de bære deres Skændsel iblandt dem, som fare ned i Hulen.

Elam is there with all its people around its grave. All of them died violent deaths, killed by the sword. They went down into the grave, these heathen people who once terrorized others when they were alive. They are disgraced, along with all others who go down into the grave.

25 Man har givet det Leje midt iblandt de ihjelslagne, iblandt al dets Hob, trindt omkring ham ere deres Grave; alle ere de uomskaarne, ihjelslagne ved Sværd; thi Forskrækkelse for dem var udbredt i de levendes Land, og de bære deres Skændsel iblandt dem, som fare ned i Hulen, midt iblandt de ihjelslagne er han lagt.

A resting place is made ready among those who have been killed for Elam and all its many people—their graves surround Elam's grave. They are all heathen and were killed by the sword, though they once terrorized others when they were alive. They are disgraced, along with all others who go down into the grave. They are laid to rest among those who have been killed.

26 Der er Mesek, Tubal og al dets Hob, trindt omkring ham ere deres Grave; alle ere de uomskaarne, ihjelslagne med Sværd, thi de have voldet Forskrækkelse for sig i de levendes Land.

Meshech and Tubal are there with all their many people, surrounded by all their graves. They are all heathen and were killed by the sword, though they once terrorized others when they were alive.

27 Men de ligge ikke ved de Helte, som ere faldne af de uomskaarne, hvilke nedfore til Dødsriget med deres Krigsvaaben og fik deres Sværd lagte under deres Hoveder; deres Misgerninger ere komne over deres Ben; thi de vare en Forskrækkelse for Heltene i de levendes Land. (Sheol h7585)

But they're not laid to rest with the fallen warriors of long ago who went down into Sheol with their weapons of war. Their swords were placed underneath their heads and their shields over their bones, although these powerful warriors once terrorized others when they were alive. (Sheol h7585)

28 Og du! du skal sønderknuses midt iblandt de uomskaarne og ligge ved dem, som ere ihjelslagne ved Sværd.

However, you will also be cut down and laid to rest with the heathen, with those killed by the sword.

29 Derhen kom Edom, dets Konger og alle dets Fyrster, som trods deres Styrke ere lagte hos dem, som ere ihjelslagne med Sværd; de ligge ved de uomskaarne og ved dem, som nedfare i Hulen.

Edom is there with all its kings and princes. Once they were powerful, but now they too are laid to rest with those killed by the sword. They lie with the heathen, with those who go down into the grave.

30 Derhen kom alle de ypperste Mænd af Norden og alle Zidonier, som fore ned til de ihjelslagne og bleve beskæmmede, uagtet de havde voldet Forskrækkelse formedelst deres Styrke, og de ligge som uomskaarne ved dem, som ere ihjelslagne ved Sværd, og bære deres Skændsel iblandt dem, som nedfare i Hulen.

All the leaders from the north, and all the people of Sidon are there too. They also are disgraced, going down with those who were killed, in spite of their formidable power. They are heathen, lying there with those killed by the sword, and have the disgrace of those who go down into the grave.

31 Dem skal Farao se og trøste sig over hele sin Hob; ihjelslagen med Sværd er Farao og al hans Hær, siger den Herre, Herre.

Pharaoh will see them and be pleased that he and all his many people are not the only ones killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.

32 Thi jeg har ladet ham volde Forskrækkelse i de levendes Land; saa skal Farao og al hans Hob lægges midt iblandt de uomskaarne, iblandt dem, som ere ihjelslagne med Sværd, siger den Herre, Herre.

For I will terrorize those who are alive so that Pharaoh and all his many people will be laid to rest with the heathen, with those killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.”
