Ezekiel 28
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, sig til Tyrus's Fyrste: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi dit Hjerte hovmoder sig og du siger: »Jeg er en Gud, paa et Gudesæde sidder jeg midt ude i Havet!« skønt du er et Menneske og ingen Gud, og fordi du føler dig i Hjertet som en Gud;
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.
3 se, du er visere end Daniel, ingen Vismand maaler sig med dig;
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!
4 ved din Visdom og indsigt vandt du dig Rigdom og samlede dig Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;
By your wisdom and understanding you have gained your wealth and amassed gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 ved dit store Handelssnilde øgede du din Rigdom, saa dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over den —
By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.
6 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du i dit Hjerte føler dig som en Gud,
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,
7 se, derfor bringer jeg fremmede over dig, de grummeste Folk, og de skal drage deres Sværd mod din skønne Visdom og vanhellige din Glans.
behold, I will bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.
8 De skal styrte dig i Graven, og du skal dø de ihjelslagnes Død i Havets Dyb.
They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.
9 Mon du da Ansigt til Ansigt med dem, der dræber dig, vil sige: »Jeg er en Gud!« du, som i deres Haand, der slaar dig ihjel, er et Menneske og ikke en Gud.
Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.
10 De uomskaarnes Død skal du dø for fremmedes Haand, saa sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken,
11 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
12 Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over Kongen af Tyrus og sig til ham: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Du var Indsigtens Segl, fuld af Visdom og fuldkommen i Skønhed.
“Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 I Eden, Guds Have, var du; alle Slags Ædelsten var din Klædning, Karneol, Topas, Jaspis, Krysolit, Sjoham, Onyks, Safir, Rubin, Smaragd og Guld var paa dig i indfattet og indlagt Arbejde; det var til Rede, den Dag du skabtes.
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.
14 Du var en salvet, skærmende Kerub; jeg gjorde dig dertil; paa det hellige Gudebjerg var du; du vandrede imellem Guds Sønner.
You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
15 Fuldkommen var du i din Færd, fra den Dag du skabtes, indtil der fandtes Brøde hos dig.
From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways— until wickedness was found in you.
16 Ved din megen Handel fyldte du dit Indre med Uret og forbrød dig; da vanhelligede jeg dig og viste dig bort fra Gudebjerget og tilintetgjorde dig, skærmende Kerub, saa du ikke blev mellem Guds Sønner.
By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
17 Dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over din Skønhed, du satte din Visdom til paa Grund af din Glans. Jeg, slængte dig til Jorden og overgav dig til Konger, at de skulde nyde Skuet af dig.
Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.
18 Med dine mange Misgerninger, ved din uredelige Handel vanhelligede du dine Helligdomme. Da lod jeg Ild bryde løs i din Midte, og den fortærede dig; jeg gjorde dig til Støv paa Jorden for alle, som saa dig.
By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.
19 Alle blandt Folkeslagene, der kendte dig, stivnede af Skræk over dig; du blev en Rædsel, og borte er du for evigt.
All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”
20 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Zidon og profeter imod det
“Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Zidon, og herliggør mig paa dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg holder Dom over dig og viser min Hellighed paa dig.
And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her.
23 Jeg sender Pest over dig og Blod i dine Gader; ihjelslagne Mænd skal segne i din Midte for Sværd, der er rettet imod dig fra alle Sider; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24 Fremtidig skal der ikke være nogen Tidsel til at saare eller Torn til at stikke Israels Hus blandt alle dets Naboer, som nu haaner dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
25 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Naar jeg samler Israels Slægt fra de Folkeslag, de er spredt iblandt, vil jeg hellige mig paa dem for Folkenes Øjne, og de skal bo i deres Land, som jeg gav min Tjener Jakob;
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob.
26 de skal bo trygt deri, bygge Huse og plante Vingaarde, ja bo trygt, medens jeg holder Dom over alle dem, der haaner dem fra alle Sider; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN deres Gud.
And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”
