Ezekiel 35
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Seirs Bjerg og spaa imod det!
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it.
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.
Say to it, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will strike you with my hand and make you a desolation and a waste.
4 Dine Stæder vil jeg gøre øde, og du selv skal vorde en Ødelæggelse; og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I will make your cities ruins, and you yourself will become desolate; then you will know that I am Yahweh.
5 Fordi du nærer et evigt Fjendskab og overgav Israels Børn i Sværdets Vold, i deres Trængsels Tid, den Tid, da Misgerningen medførte Enden:
Because you have always been hostile to the people of Israel, and because you poured them out into the hands of the sword at the time of their distress, at the time their punishment was at its greatest.
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, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will prepare you for bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you! Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.
7 Og jeg vil gøre Seirs Bjerg til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk; og jeg vil udrydde deraf enhver, som drager frem og tilbage.
I will make Mount Seir a complete desolation when I cut off from it anyone who passes through and returns again.
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 fill its mountains with those who were killed; on your high hills and valleys and in all your streams those who were killed by the sword will fall.
9 Jeg vil gøre dig til evige Ørkener, og dine Stæder skulle ikke bebos; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I will make you a perpetual desolation. Your cities will not be inhabited, but you will know that I am Yahweh.
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 have said, “These two nations and these two lands will become mine, and we will possess them,” even when Yahweh was present with 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, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—so I will do according to your anger and according to your jealousy that you had in your hatred of Israel, and I will show myself to them when I judge you.
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.
So you will know that I am Yahweh. I have heard all the insults you spoke against the mountains of Israel, when you said, “They have been destroyed; they have been given over to us to devour.”
13 Og I have gjort eder store imod mig med eders Mund og brugt mange overflødige Ord imod mig; jeg har hørt det.
You exalted yourselves against me with what you said, and you multiplied the words you said against me; and I heard it all.
14 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar hele Jorden glæder sig, vil jeg gøre dig øde.
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will make you a desolation, while the entire earth rejoices.
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.
As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the people of Israel because of its desolation, I will do the same to you. You will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and all of Edom—all of it! Then they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
