Ezekiel 28
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
The LORD’s word came again 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 prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
3 se, du er visere end Daniel, ingen Vismand maaler sig med dig;
behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that 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 by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 ved dit store Handelssnilde øgede du din Rigdom, saa dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over den —
By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du i dit Hjerte føler dig som en Gud,
“‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of 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.
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
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. You will die the death of those who are slain 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 yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds 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 by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
11 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Moreover the LORD’s word 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 lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, 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 precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that 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.
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15 Fuldkommen var du i din Færd, fra den Dag du skabtes, indtil der fandtes Brøde hos dig.
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness 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 abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of 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.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see 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 the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 Alle blandt Folkeslagene, der kendte dig, stivnede af Skræk over dig; du blev en Rædsel, og borte er du for evigt.
All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
20 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
21 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Zidon og profeter imod det
“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
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 say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in 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.
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on 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.
“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. 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;
“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land 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 dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
