Ezekiel 28
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
A message from 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 this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
3 se, du er visere end Daniel, ingen Vismand maaler sig med dig;
You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
4 ved din Visdom og indsigt vandt du dig Rigdom og samlede dig Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;
Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
5 ved dit store Handelssnilde øgede du din Rigdom, saa dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over den —
You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
6 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du i dit Hjerte føler dig som en Gud,
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're 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.
watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
8 De skal styrte dig i Graven, og du skal dø de ihjelslagnes Død i Havets Dyb.
They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
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.
Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
10 De uomskaarnes Død skal du dø for fremmedes Haand, saa sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Another message from 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, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless 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 there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
14 Du var en salvet, skærmende Kerub; jeg gjorde dig dertil; paa det hellige Gudebjerg var du; du vandrede imellem Guds Sønner.
I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
15 Fuldkommen var du i din Færd, fra den Dag du skabtes, indtil der fandtes Brøde hos dig.
You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
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.
You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
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.
You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
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 all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
19 Alle blandt Folkeslagene, der kendte dig, stivnede af Skræk over dig; du blev en Rædsel, og borte er du for evigt.
All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
20 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Zidon og profeter imod det
“Son of man, face towards 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.
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
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'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from 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.
The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel 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 bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave 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.
They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
