Ezekiel 16

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2 Menneskesøn, forehold Jerusalem dets Vederstyggeligheder

“Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, and you have said,

3 og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Jerusalem: Dit Udspring og din Oprindelse var i Kana'anæernes Land; din Fader var Amorit, din Moder Hetiterinde.

Thus said Lord YHWH to Jerusalem: Your birth and your nativity [Are] of the land of the Canaanite, Your father the Amorite, and your mother a Hittite.

4 Og ved din Fødsel gik det saaledes til: Da du fødtes, blev din Navlestreng ikke skaaret over, ej heller blev du tvættet ren med Vand eller gnedet med Salt eller lagt i Svøb.

As for your nativity, in the day you were born, Your navel has not been cut, And you were not washed in water for ease, And you have not been salted at all, And you have not been swaddled at all.

5 Ingen saa paa dig med saa megen Medynk, at han af Medlidenhed gjorde nogen af disse Ting for dig, men du henslængtes paa Marken, den Dag du fødtes; saaledes væmmedes man ved din Sjæl.

No eye has had pity on you, to do any of these to you, To have compassion on you, And you are cast on the face of the field, With loathing of your soul In the day you were born!

6 Men jeg kom forbi, og da jeg saa dig sprælle i Blod, sagde jeg til dig, som du laa der i Blodet: »Du skal leve

And I pass over by you, And I see you trodden down in your blood, And I say to you in your blood, Live! Indeed, I say to you in your blood, Live!

7 og vokse som en Urt paa Marken!« Og du voksede, blev stor og traadte ind i din Skønheds Fylde; dine Bryster blev faste, og dit Haar voksede; men du var nøgen og bar.

I have made you a myriad as the shoot of the field, And you are multiplied, and are great, And come in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and your hair has grown—And you, naked and bare!

8 Saa kom jeg forbi og saa dig, og se, din Tid var inde, din Elskovstid; og jeg bredte min Kappeflig over dig og tilhyllede din Blusel; saa tilsvor jeg dig Troskab og indgik Pagt med dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, og du blev min.

And I pass over by you, and I see you, And behold, your time [is] a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over you, And I cover your nakedness, And I swear to you, and come into a covenant with you, A declaration of Lord YHWH, And you become Mine.

9 Saa tvættede jeg dig med Vand, skyllede Blodet af dig og salvede dig med Olie;

And I wash you with water, And I wash away your blood from off you, And I anoint you with oil.

10 jeg klædte dig i broget vævede Klæder, gav dig Sko af Tahasjskind paa, bandt Byssusklæde om dit Hoved og hyllede dig i Silke;

And I clothe you with embroidery, And I shoe you with tachash [skin], And I gird you with fine linen, And I cover you with figured silk.

11 jeg smykkede dig, lagde Spange om dine Arme og Kæde om din Hals,

And I adorn you with adornments, And I give bracelets for your hands, And a chain for your neck.

12 fæstede en Ring i din Næse, kugler i dine Ører og en herlig Krone paa dit Hoved;

And I give a ring for your nose, And rings for your ears, And a crown of beauty on your head.

13 du smykkedes med Guld og Sølv, din Klædning var Byssus, Silke og broget vævede Klæder; fint Hvedemel, Honning og Olie var din Mad, og du blev saare dejlig og drev det til at blive Dronning.

And you put on gold and silver, And your clothing [is] fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, You have eaten fine flour, and honey, and oil, And you are very, very beautiful, And go prosperously to the kingdom.

14 Dit Ry kom ud blandt Folkene for din Dejligheds Skyld; thi den var fuldendt ved de Smykker, jeg udstyrede dig med, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And your name goes forth among nations, Because of your beauty—for it [is] complete, In My honor that I have set on you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

15 Men du stolede paa din Dejlighed og bolede i Kraft af dit Ry; du udøste din bolerske Attraa over enhver, som kom forbi; du blev hans.

And you trust in your beauty, And go whoring because of your renown, And pour out your whoredoms on everyone passing by—to him [that would have] it.

16 Af dine Klæder tog du og gjorde dig spraglede Offerhøje og bolede paa dem ... .

And you take from your garments, And make spotted high-places for yourself, And go whoring on them, They are not coming in—nor will it be!

17 Du tog dine Smykker af mit Guld og Sølv, som jeg havde givet dig, og gjorde dig Mandsbilleder og bolede med dem.

And you take your beautiful vessels Of My gold and My silver that I gave to you, And make images of a male for yourself, And go whoring with them,

18 Du tog dine broget vævede Klæder og hyllede dem deri, og min Olie og Røgelse satte du for dem.

And you take the garments of your embroidery, And cover them, And you have set My oil and My incense before them.

19 Brødet, som jeg havde givet dig — fint Hvedemel, Olie og Honning gav jeg dig at spise — satte du for dem til en liflig Duft, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And My bread, that I gave to you, Fine flour, and oil, and honey, that I caused you to eat. You have even set it before them, For a refreshing fragrance—thus it is, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

20 Og du tog dine Sønner og Døtre, som du havde født mig, og slagtede dem til Føde for dem. Var det ikke nok med din Bolen,

And you take your sons and your daughters whom you have born to Me, And sacrifice them to them for food. Is it a little thing because of your whoredoms,

21 siden du slagtede mine Sønner og gav dem hen, idet du indviede dem til dem?

that you slaughter My sons, And give them up in causing them to pass over to them?

22 Og under alle dine Vederstyggeligheder og din Bolen kom du ikke din Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da du var nøgen og bar og laa og sprællede i Blod.

And with all your abominations and your whoredoms, You have not remembered the days of your youth, When you were naked and bare, You were trodden down in your blood!

23 Og efter al denne din Ondskab — ve dig, ve! lyder det fra den Herre HERREN —

And it comes to pass, after all your wickedness (Woe, woe, to you—a declaration of Lord YHWH),

24 byggede du dig en Alterfod og gjorde dig en Offerhøj paa alle Torve.

That you build an arch for yourself, And make a high place for yourself in every broad place.

25 Ved hvert Gadehjørne byggede du dig en Offerhøj og vanærede din Dejlighed; du spredte Benene for enhver, som kom forbi, og drev din Bolen vidt.

At every head of the way you have built your high place, And you make your beauty abominable, And open wide your feet to everyone passing by, And multiply your whoredoms,

26 Du bolede med Ægypterne, dine sværlemmede Naboer, og drev din Bolen vidt og krænkede mig.

And go whoring to sons of Egypt, Your neighbors—great of appetite! And you multiply your whoredoms, To provoke Me to anger.

27 Men se, jeg udrakte min Haand imod dig og unddrog dig, hvad der tilkom dig, og jeg gav dig dine Fjender Filisterindernes Gridskhed i Vold, de, som skammede sig over din utugtige Færd.

And behold, I have stretched out My hand against you, And I diminish your portion, And give you to the desire of those hating you, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are ashamed of your wicked way.

28 Siden bolede du med Assyrerne, umættelig som du var; du bolede med dem, men blev endda ikke mæt.

And you go whoring to sons of Asshur, Without your being satisfied, And you go whoring with them, And also—you have not been satisfied.

29 Saa udstrakte du din Bolen til Kræmmerlandet, Kaldæernes Land, men blev endda ikke mæt.

And you multiply your whoredoms On the land of Canaan—toward Chaldea, And even with this you have not been satisfied.

30 Hvor vansmægtede dog dit Hjerte, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, da du gjorde alt dette, som kun en arg Skøge kan gøre,

How weak [is] your heart, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In your doing all these, The work of a domineering, whorish woman.

31 da du byggede dig en Alterfod ved hvert Gadehjørne og gjorde dig en Offerhøj paa hvert Torv. Men du lignede ikke Skøgen i at samle Skøgeløn;

In your building your arch at the head of every way, You have made your high place in every broad place, And have not been as a whore deriding a wage.

32 hvilken Horkvinde, der tager fremmede i sin Mands Sted! —

The wife who commits adultery—Under her husband—receives strangers.

33 ellers giver man Skøgen en Gave, men du gav alle dine Elskere Gaver og købte dem til at komme til dig rundt om fra og bole med dig.

They give a gift to all whores, And you have given your gifts to all your lovers, And bribe them to come in to you, From all around—in your whoredoms.

34 Hos dig var det modsat af, hvad Tilfældet ellers er med Kvinder; ingen løb efter dig for at bole, men du gav Skøgeløn og fik selv ingen; det var det modsatte.

And you are opposite from [other] women in your whoredoms, That none go whoring after you; And in your giving a wage, And a wage has not been given to you; Therefore you are the opposite.

35 Derfor, du Skøge, hør HERRENS Ord!

Therefore, O whore, hear a word of YHWH!

36 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi din Skam ødtes bort og din Blusel blottedes for dine Elskere ved din Boler, derfor og for alle dine vederstyggelige Afgudsbilleders Skyld og for dine Sønners Blods Skyld, som du gav dem,

Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your bronze being poured forth, And your nakedness is revealed in your whoredoms near your lovers, And near all the idols of your abominations, And according to the blood of your sons, Whom you have given to them;

37 se, derfor vil jeg samle alle dine Elskere, hvem du var til Glæde, baade alle dem, du elskede, og alle dem, du hadede; jeg vil samle dem imod dig trindt om fra og blotte din Blusel for dem, saa de ser den helt.

Therefore, behold, I am assembling all your lovers, To whom you have been sweet, And all whom you have loved, Besides all whom you have hated; And I have assembled them by you all around, And have revealed your nakedness to them, And they have seen all your nakedness.

38 Jeg vil dømme dig efter Horkvinders og Morderskers Ret og lade Vrede og Nidkærhed ramme dig.

And I have judged you—judgments of adultresses, And of women shedding blood, And have given you blood, fury, and jealousy.

39 Jeg giver dig i deres Haand, og de skal nedbryde din Alterfod, ødelægge dine Offerhøje, rive Klæderne af dig, tage dine Smykker og lade dig staa nøgen og bar.

And I have given you into their hand, And they have thrown down your arch, And they have broken down your high places, And they have stripped you of your garments, And they have taken your beautiful vessels, And they have left you naked and bare.

40 De skal sammenkalde en Forsamling imod dig, stene dig og med deres Sværd hugge dig sønder og sammen;

And have caused an assembly to come up against you, And stoned you with stones, And thrust you through with their swords,

41 de skal sætte Ild paa dine Huse og fuldbyrde Dommen over dig i mange Kvinders Paasyn. Jeg gør Ende paa din Bolen, og du skal ikke mere komme til at give Skøgeløn.

And burned your houses with fire, And done judgments in you before the eyes of many women, And I have caused you to cease from going whoring, And also, you no longer give a wage.

42 Jeg stiller min Vrede paa dig, til min Nidkærhed viger fra dig, saa jeg faar Ro og ikke mere er krænket.

And I have caused My fury against you to rest, And My jealousy has turned aside from you, And I have been quiet, and I am not angry anymore.

43 Fordi du ikke kom dine Ungdoms Dage i Hu, men vakte min Vrede ved alt dette, se, derfor vil jeg gøre Gengæld og lade din Færd komme over dit Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN. Du skal ikke vedblive at føje Skændsel til alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.

Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, And give trouble to Me in all these, Therefore I also—behold—I put your way on [your own] head, A declaration of Lord YHWH, And you will not have done—have done this wickedness above all your abominations.

44 Se, enhver, som ynder Ordsprog, skal bruge det Ordsprog om dig: »Som Moder saa Datter!«

Behold, everyone using the allegory against you, Uses [this] allegory concerning [you], saying, As the mother—her daughter!

45 Du er din Moders Datter, hun lededes ved sin Mand og sine Børn; og du er dine Søstres Søster, de lededes ved deres Mænd og Børn. Eders Moder var Hetiterinde, eders Fader Amorit.

You [are] your mother’s daughter, Loathing her husband and her sons, And you [are] your sisters’ sister, Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother [is] a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46 Din store Søster var Samaria og hendes Døtre norden for dig, og din lille Søster sønden for dig var Sodoma og hendes Døtre.

And your older sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at your left hand, And your younger sister, who is dwelling on your right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

47 Paa deres Veje vandrede du ikke, og Vederstyggeligheder som deres øvede du ikke; kun en liden Stund, saa handlede du endnu værre end de paa alle dine Veje.

And you have not walked in their ways, And done according to their abominations, It has been loathed as a little thing, Indeed, you do more corruptly than they in all your ways.

48 Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERRE, din Søster Sodoma og hendes Døtre handlede ikke som du og dine Døtre!

[As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Your sister Sodom has not done—she and her daughters—As you have done—you and your daughters.

49 Se, din Søster Sodomas Brøde var Overmod; Brød i Overflod og sorgløs Tryghed blev hende og hendes Døtre til Del, men de rakte ikke den arme og fattige en hjælpende Haand;

Behold, this has been the iniquity of your sister Sodom, Arrogancy, fullness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She has not strengthened.

50 de blev hovmodige og øvede Vederstyggelighed for mine Øjne; derfor stødte jeg dem bort, saa snart jeg saa det.

And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen.

51 Heller ikke Samaria syndede halvt saa meget som du! Du har øvet flere Vederstyggeligheder end de og retfærdiggjort dine Søstre ved alle de Vederstyggeligheder, du øvede.

And Samaria has not sinned even half of your sins, But you multiply your abominations more than they, And justify your sisters by all your abominations that you have done.

52 Saa bær da ogsaa du din Skændsel, du, som har skaffet dine Søstre Oprejsning; da dine Synder er vederstyggeligere end deres, staar de retfærdigere end du; saa skam da ogsaa du dig og bær din Skændsel, fordi du har retfærdiggjort dine Søstre.

You also—bear your shame, That you have adjudged for your sisters, Because of your sins that you have done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than you, And you, also, be ashamed and bear your shame, In your justifying your sisters.

53 Og jeg vil vende deres Skæbne, Sodomas og hendes Døtres og Samarias og hendes Døtres, og jeg vil vende din Skæbne midt iblandt dem,

And I have turned back [to] their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of your captives in their midst,

54 for at du kan bære din Skændsel og blues ved alt, hvad du har gjort, idet du derved skaffede dem en Trøst.

So that you bear your shame, And have been ashamed of all that you have done, In your comforting them.

55 Dine Søstre Sodoma og hendes Døtre og Samaria og hendes Døtre skal blive, hvad de fordum var, og du og dine Døtre, hvad I fordum var.

And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Return to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, And you and your daughters return to your former state.

56 Din Søster Sodomas Navn tog du ikke i din Mund i dit Overmods Dage,

And your sister Sodom has not been for a report in your mouth, In the day of your arrogancy,

57 da din Blusel endnu ikke var blottet som nu, du Spot for Edoms Kvinder, og alle Kvinder deromkring og for Filisternes Kvinder, som haanede dig fra alle Sider!

Before your wickedness is revealed, As [at] the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbors, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising you all around.

58 Du maa bære din Skændsel og dine Vederstyggeligheder, lyder det fra HERREN.

Your wicked plans and your abominations, You have borne them, a declaration of YHWH.

59 Ja, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør med dig, som du har gjort, du, som lod haant om Eden og brød Pagten.

For thus said Lord YHWH: I have dealt with you as you have done, In that you have despised an oath—to break covenant.

60 Men jeg vil ihukomme min Pagt med dig i din Ungdoms Dage og oprette en evig Pagt med dig.

And I have remembered My covenant with you, In the days of your youth, And I have established a perpetual covenant for you.

61 Og du skal komme dine Veje i Hu og blues, naar jeg tager dine Søstre, baade dem, der er større, og dem, der er mindre end du, og giver dig dem til Døtre, men ikke fordi du var tro i Pagten.

And you have remembered your ways, And you have been ashamed, In your receiving your sisters—Your older with your younger, And I have given them to you for daughters, And not by your covenant.

62 Jeg opretter min Pagt med dig, og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN,

And I have established My covenant with you, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

63 for at du skal komme det i Hu med Skam og ikke mere kunne aabne din Mund, fordi du blues, naar jeg tilgiver dig alt, hvad du har gjort, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

So that you remember, And you have been ashamed, And there is not an opening of the mouth to you anymore because of your shame, In My receiving atonement for you, For all that you have done, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
