Ezekiel 25

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt imod Ammoniterne, profeter imod dem

Son of man, set thy face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

3 og sig til dem: Hør den Herre HERRENS Ord: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du raabte »Ha, ha!« over min Helligdom, da den vanhelligedes, og over Israels Land, da det lagdes øde, og over Judas Hus, da de vandrede i Landflygtighed,

and thou shalt say to the children of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord; Forasmuch as ye have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Juda, because they went into captivity;

4 se, derfor giver jeg dig i Eje til Østens Sønner; de skal opslaa deres Teltlejre og indrette deres Boliger i dig; de skal spise din Frugt og drikke din Mælk.

therefore, behold, I [will] deliver you to the children of Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in thee with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits, and they shall drink thy milk.

5 Jeg gør Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Byer til Lejrsted for Smaakvæg; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels' pastures, and the children of Ammon for a pasture of sheep: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

6 Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du klappede i Hænderne og stampede med Fødderne og med dyb Ringeagt godtede dig af Hjertet over Israels Land,

For thus saith the Lord; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with thy foot, and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel;

7 se, derfor udrækker jeg Haanden imod dig og gør dig til Rov for Folkene; jeg udrydder dig af Folkeslagene, udsletter dig af Landene og tilintetgør dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

therefore I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a spoil to the nations; and I will utterly destroy thee from among the peoples, and I will completely cut thee off from out of the countries: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

8 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Moab siger: »Se, det er med Judas Hus som med alle de andre Folk!«

Thus saith the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Juda like all the [other] nations?

9 se, derfor lægger jeg Moabs Skrænter aabne, saa Byerne gaar tabt fra dets ene Ende til den anden, Landets Pryd, Bet-Jesjimot, Ba'al-Meon og Kirjatajim.

Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, [even] the choice land, the house of Bethasimuth above the fountain of the city, by the sea-side.

10 Østens Sønner giver jeg det i Eje, for at det ikke mere skal ihukommes blandt Folkene.

I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance, that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon.

11 Jeg holder Dom over Moab; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Edom optraadte hævngerrigt mod Judas Hus og paadrog sig svar Skyld ved at hævne sig paa dem,

Thus saith the Lord; Because of what the Idumeans have done in taking vengeance on the house of Juda, and [because they] have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

13 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg udrækker Haanden mod Edom og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf og gør det øde; fra Teman til Dedan skal de falde for Sværdet.

therefore thus saith the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Idumea, and will utterly destroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Thaeman shall fall by the sword.

14 Jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn paa Edom ved mit Folk Israels Haand, og de skal handle med Edom efter min Vrede og Harme, og Edom skal kende min Hævn, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And I will execute my vengeance on Idumea by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall deal in Idumea according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord.

15 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Filisterne optraadte hævngerrigt og med Foragt i Hjertet tog Hævn og hærgede i endeløst Had,

Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, and raised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroy [the Israelites] to a man;

16 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg udrækker Haanden mod Filisterne og udrydder Kreterne, og jeg tilintetgør, hvad der er levnet ved Havets Strand.

therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy the Cretans, and will cut off the remnant that dwell by the sea-coast.

17 Jeg tager vældig Hævn over dem og revser dem i Vrede; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn paa dem.

And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought my vengeance upon them.
