Ezekiel 25

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

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

Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, 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 say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus says the Lord GOD; Because you said, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when 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.

Behold, therefore I will deliver you to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in you, and make their dwellings in you: they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your 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 make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and you 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 says the Lord GOD; Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your despite 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.

Behold, therefore I will stretch out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut you off from the people, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall 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 says the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like to all the heathen;

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 open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

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

To the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

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

And I will execute judgments 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 says the Lord GOD; Because that Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them;

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 says the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan 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 lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord GOD.

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

Thus says the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;

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 says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of 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 on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.
