Ezekiel 35
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Seirs Bjerg og spaa imod det!
“You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
3 Og du skal sige til det: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod dig, Seirs Bjerg! og jeg vil udrække min Haand imod dig og gøre dig til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk.
‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
4 Dine Stæder vil jeg gøre øde, og du selv skal vorde en Ødelæggelse; og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
5 Fordi du nærer et evigt Fjendskab og overgav Israels Børn i Sværdets Vold, i deres Trængsels Tid, den Tid, da Misgerningen medførte Enden:
You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
6 Derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre, vil jeg gøre dig til Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig, efterdi du ikke har hadet Blod, skal Blod forfølge dig.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
7 Og jeg vil gøre Seirs Bjerg til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk; og jeg vil udrydde deraf enhver, som drager frem og tilbage.
so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
8 Og jeg vil fylde Bjergene der med deres ihjelslagne; paa dine Høje og i dine Dale og i alle dine Flodlejer, der falde de, som ere ihjelslagne med Sværd.
I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 Jeg vil gøre dig til evige Ørkener, og dine Stæder skulle ikke bebos; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
10 Fordi du siger: De tvende Folk og de tvende Lande skulle være mine, og vi ville tage dem i Eje, da dog Herren var der:
You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
11 Derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre, vil jeg gøre efter din Vrede og efter din Nid, som du har udvist formedelst dit Had imod dem, og jeg vil give mig til Kende hos dem, naar jeg dømmer dig.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
12 Og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren, jeg har hørt alle dine Bespottelser, som du har sagt imod Israels Bjerge, idet du sagde: De ere ødelagte, os ere de givne til Føde.
Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
13 Og I have gjort eder store imod mig med eders Mund og brugt mange overflødige Ord imod mig; jeg har hørt det.
When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
14 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar hele Jorden glæder sig, vil jeg gøre dig øde.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
15 Ligesom du har glædet dig over Israels Hus's Arv, fordi den blev ødelagt, saaledes vil jeg gøre imod dig; du Seirs Bjerg og hele Edom alt sammen skal vorde øde; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
