Ezekiel 26
1 I det ellevte Aar paa den første Dag i ... Maaned kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
In the eleventh year, in the first of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn! Fordi Tyrus siger om Jerusalem: »Ha, ha! Folkeslagenes Port er knust; den staar mig aaben; den var rig, men er nu øde!«
“Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken! She who was the gateway of the peoples has been returned to me. I will be replenished, now that she is laid waste;’
3 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Tyrus, og fører mange Folk imod dig, som naar Havet rejser sine Bølger.
therefore the Lord Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
4 De skal ødelægge Tyrus's Mure og nedbryde Taarnene. Jeg fejer Muldet bort og gør Tyrus til nøgen Klippe;
They will destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
5 en Tørreplads for Net skal det være ude i Havet, saa sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; og det skal blive et Bytte for Folkene.
She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh. ‘She will become plunder for the nations.
6 Dets Døtre paa Land skal hugges ned med Sværd; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’
7 Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, nordenfra fører jeg mod Tyrus Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, Kongernes Konge, med Heste, Vogne og Ryttere og en vældig Hærskare.
“For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people.
8 Dine Døtre paa Land skal han hugge ned med Sværd; han skal bygge Belejringstaarne, opkaste Stormvold og rejse Skjoldtag imod dig;
He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
9 sin Murbrækkers Stød skal han rette imod dine Mure og nedbryde dine Taarne med sine Sværd.
He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
10 Hans Heste skal myldre, saa Støvet, de rejser, skjuler dig; Ryttere, Hjul og Vogne skal larme, saa dine Mure ryster, naar han drager igennem dine Porte, som naar man trænger ind i en stormet By.
By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city which is broken open.
11 Med sine Hestes Hove skal han nedtrampe alle dine Gader; dit Folk skal han hugge ned med Sværdet og styrte dine stolte Støtter til Jorden.
He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground.
12 De skal rane din Rigdom og gøre dine Handelsvarer til Bytte; de skal nedbryde dine Mure og nedrive dine herlige Huse: Sten, Tømmer og Ler skal de kaste i Vandet.
They will make a plunder of your riches and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones, your timber, and your dust in the middle of the waters.
13 Jeg gør Ende paa dine brusende Sange, og dine Citres Klang skal ikke mere høres.
I will cause the noise of your songs to cease. The sound of your harps won’t be heard any more.
14 Jeg gør dig til nøgen Klippe, en Tørreplads for Net skal du være. Aldrig mere skal du bygges, saa sandt jeg, HERREN, har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
I will make you a bare rock. You will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more; for I Yahweh have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Tyrus: For sandt, ved dit drønende Fald, ved de saaredes Stønnen, naar Sværd hugger løs i din Midte, skal Strandene skælve.
“The Lord Yahweh says to Tyre: ‘Won’t the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made within you?
16 Ned fra sin Trone stiger hver Fyrste ved Havet, Kapperne lægger de bort, aflægger de brogede Klæder og klæder sig i Sorg; de sidder paa Jorden og skælver uafbrudt, slagne af Rædsel over dig.
Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
17 De synger en Klagesang om dig og siger til dig: Ak, du gik under, forsvandt fra Havet, du fejrede By, du, som var vældig paa Havet, du og dine Borgere, du, der jog Rædsel i alle, som boede der!
They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, “How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
18 Nu gribes Strandene af Skælven, den Dag du falder, og Havets Øer forfærdes over din Udgang!
Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall. Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’
19 Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Naar jeg gør dig til en øde By og lige med affolkede Byer, naar jeg fører Verdensdybet over dig, og de vældige Vande skjuler dig,
“For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you,
20 saa støder jeg dig ned iblandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet, blandt Fortidens Folk, og lader dig ligge i Underverdenen som ældgamle Ruiner blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet, for at du aldrig mere skal bebos eller rejse dig i de levendes Land;
then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.
21 jeg giver dig hen til brat Undergang, og det skal være ude med dig; selv om der søges efter dig, skal du aldrig i Evighed findes, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
