Ezekiel 29
1 I det tiende Aar, paa den tolvte Dag i den tiende Maaned kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og profeter mod ham og hele Ægypten.
Son of man, let your face be turned against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and be a prophet against him and against all Egypt:
3 Tal og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Farao, Ægyptens Konge, du store drage, som ligger midt i dine Strømme, som siger: »Nilen er min, jeg skabte den selv!«
Say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great river-beast stretched out among his Nile streams, who has said, The Nile is mine, and I have made it for myself.
4 Jeg sætter Kroge i Kæberne paa dig og lader dine Strømmes Fisk hænge ved dine Skæl og drager dig op af dine Strømme med alle deres Fisk, som hænger ved dine Skæl.
And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.
5 Jeg slænger dig hen i Ørkenen med alle dine Strømmes Fisk; paa aaben Mark skal du falde, ej samles op eller jordes; til Jordens Dyr og Himlens Fugle giver jeg dig som Føde.
And I will let you be in the waste land, you and all the fish of your streams: you will go down on the face of the land; you will not be taken up or put to rest in the earth; I have given you for food to the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven.
6 Og kende skal hver en Ægypter, at jeg er HERREN. Fordi du har været en Rørkæp for Israels Hus —
And it will be clear to all the people of Egypt that I am the Lord, because you have been a false support to the children of Israel.
7 du splintredes, naar de greb om dig, og flænged dem hele Haanden; du brast, naar de støtted sig til dig, fik hver en Lænd til at vakle —
When they took a grip of you in their hands, you were crushed so that their arms were broken: and when they put their weight on you for support, you were broken and all their muscles gave way.
8 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg bringer Sværd over dig og udrydder Folk og Fæ af dig;
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am sending a sword on you, cutting off from you man and beast.
9 Ægypten skal blive til Ørk og Øde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, fordi du sagde: »Nilen er min, jeg skabte den selv!«
And the land of Egypt will be an unpeopled waste; and they will be certain that I am the Lord: because he has said, The Nile is mine, and I made it.
10 Se, derfor kommer jeg over dig og dine Strømme og gør Ægypten til Øde og Ørk fra Migdol til Syene og Ætiopiens Grænse.
See, then, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an unpeopled waste, from Migdol to Syene, even as far as the edge of Ethiopia.
11 Hverken Mennesker eller Dyr skal sætte deres Fod der, ingen skal færdes der, og det skal ligge hen uden Indbyggere i fyrretyve Aar.
No foot of man will go through it and no foot of beast, and it will be unpeopled for forty years.
12 Jeg gør Ægypten til en Ørk blandt øde Lande, og Byerne skal ligge øde hen blandt tilintetgjorte Byer i fyrretyve Aar; og jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.
I will make the land of Egypt a waste among the countries which are made waste, and her towns will be unpeopled among the towns which have been made waste, for forty years: and I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.
13 Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Efter fyrretyve Aars Forløb vil jeg sanke Ægypterne sammen fra de Folkeslag, de er spredt iblandt,
For this is what the Lord has said: At the end of forty years I will get the Egyptians together from the peoples where they have gone in flight:
14 og vende Ægyptens Skæbne og føre dem tilbage til Patros, det Land, de stammer fra, og der skal de blive et lille Rige.
I will let the fate of Egypt be changed, and will make them come back into the land of Pathros, into the land from which they came; and there they will be an unimportant kingdom.
15 Det skal blive mindre end de andre Riger og ikke mere svinge sig op over Folkene; jeg gør dem faa i Tal, for at de ikke mere skal raade over Folkene.
It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.
16 Og fremtidig skal de ikke være Israels Hus's Tillid og saaledes minde mig om dets Misgerning, naar det slutter sig til dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
And Egypt will no longer be the hope of the children of Israel, causing sin to come to mind when their eyes are turned to them: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
17 I det syv og tyvende Aar paa den første Dag i den første Maaned kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Menneskesøn! Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel har ladet sin Hær udføre et stort Arbejde mod Tyrus; hvert Hoved er skaldet, hver Skulder flaaet, og hverken han eller Hæren fik Løn af Tyrus for det Arbejde, han udførte imod det.
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made his army do hard work against Tyre, and the hair came off every head and every arm was rubbed smooth: but he and his army got no payment out of Tyre for the hard work which he had done against it.
19 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Ægypten; han skal bortføre dets Rigdom, tage Bytte og røve Rov der; og det skal være hans Hærs Løn;
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.
20 som Vederlag for hans Arbejde giver jeg ham Ægypten, fordi de sled for mig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his hard work, because they were working for me, says the Lord.
21 Paa den Dag lader jeg et Horn vokse frem for Israels Hus, og dig giver jeg at aabne din Mund iblandt dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
In that day I will make a horn put out buds for the children of Israel, and I will let your words come freely among them, and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
