Ezekiel 25

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

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

'Son of man, set thy face unto the sons 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 hast said to the sons of Ammon: Hear ye a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it hath been polluted, And unto the ground of Israel, Because it hath been desolate, And unto the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a removal:

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, lo, I am giving thee to sons of the east for a possession, And they set their towers in thee, And have placed in thee their tabernacles. They eat thy fruit, and they 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 have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy clapping the hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest with all thy despite in soul Against the ground 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, lo, I — I have stretched out My hand against thee, And have given thee for a portion to nations, And I have cut thee off from the peoples, And caused thee to perish from the lands; I destroy thee, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.

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

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Lo, as all the nations [is] the house of Judah;

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, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab — From the cities — from his cities — from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim,

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

To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among nations.

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

And in Moab I do judgments, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of Edom, In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Yea, they are very guilty, And they have taken vengeance 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 said the Lord Jehovah: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off from it man and beast, And given it up — a waste, from Teman even to Dedan, By sword they do fall.

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 have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My vengeance, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite in soul, To destroy — the enmity age-during!

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea,

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 done upon them great vengeance with furious reproofs, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving out My vengeance on them!
