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:

Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

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.

“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become 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.

But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] 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.

They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.

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

I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.

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 cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.

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 get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.

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 cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.

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

And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known 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.

I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”

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

This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike 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 cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.

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 destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.

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

Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.

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 cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’

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.

That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”

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 that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

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.

“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.

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

Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.

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

[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.

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)

In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (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;

[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

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.

The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.

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.

A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.

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.

They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.

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.

[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.

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)

They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)

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

You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.

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.

People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.

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 rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.

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.

The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

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.

While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
