Ezekiel 30

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 Menneskesøn, profeter og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jamrer: Ak, hvilken Dag!

'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Wail ye: Woe worth the day!

3 Thi nær er Dagen, ja nær er HERRENS Dag; det bliver en Mulmets Dag, Hedningernes Tid.

For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a day of clouds, it shall be the time of the nations.

4 Et Sværd kommer over Ægypten, og Ætiopien gribes af Skælven, naar de slagne segner i Ægypten, naar dets Rigdom bortføres og dets Grundvolde nedbrydes.

And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and convulsion shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her abundance, and her foundation shall be broken down.

5 Ætioperne, Put og Lud og alt Blandingsfolket, Kub og min Pagts Sønner skal falde for Sværdet med dem.

Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

6 Saa siger HERREN: Alle, som støtter Ægypten, skal falde og dets stolte Herlighed synke sammen; fra Migdol til Syene skal de falde for Sværdet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

Thus saith the LORD: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down; from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

7 Det skal lægges øde blandt øde Lande, og Byerne skal ligge hen blandt tilintetgjorte Byer;

And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

8 og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg sætter Ild paa Ægypten og alle dets Hjælpere knuses.

And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

9 Paa hin Dag skal der udgaa Sendebud fra mig paa Skibe for at indjage det sorgløse Ætiopien Rædsel, og de skal gribes af Skælven over Ægyptens Dag; thi se, den kommer.

In that day shall messengers go forth from before Me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid; and there shall come convulsion upon them in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh.

10 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør Ende paa Ægyptens Herlighed ved Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel.

Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

11 Han og hans Folk med ham, de grummeste blandt Folkene, skal hentes for at ødelægge Landet; de skal drage deres Sværd mod Ægypten og fylde Landet med slagne.

He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

12 Jeg tørlægger Strømmene, sælger Landet til onde Folk, og ved fremmede ødelægger jeg det med alt, hvad der er deri. Jeg, HERREN, har talet.

And I will make the rivers dry, and will give the land over into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers; I the LORD have spoken it.

13 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg tilintetgør Afgudsbillederne og udrydder Høvdingerne af Nof og Fyrsterne af Ægypten; de skal ikke findes mere; og jeg indjager Ægypten Rædsel.

Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the things of nought to cease from Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

14 Jeg lægger Patros øde, sætter Ild paa Zoan og holder Dom over No.

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

15 Jeg udøser min Vrede over Sin, Ægyptens Bolværk, og udrydder Nos larmende Hob.

And I will pour My fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

16 Jeg sætter Ild paa Ægypten, Syene skal skælve af Angst, der skal brydes Hul paa No, og dets Mure skal nedrives.

And I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall be in great convulsion, and No shall be rent asunder; and in Noph shall come adversaries in the day-time.

17 De unge Mænd i On og Pibeset skal falde for Sværdet og Kvinderne vandre i Fangenskab.

The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.

18 I Takpankes sortner Dagen, naar jeg der sønderbryder Ægyptens Herskerstav, og dets stolte Herlighed faar Ende der. Selv skal det skjules af Skyer og dets Smaabyer vandre i Fangenskab.

At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

19 Jeg holder Dom over Ægypten; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'

20 I det ellevte Aar paa den syvende Dag i den første Maaned kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

21 Menneskesøn! Ægypterkongen Faraos Arm har jeg brudt; og se den skal ikke forbindes, ikke læges ved at der lægges Bind om den, saa den kunde faa Kræfter til atter at gribe Sværdet.

'Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to be healed, to put a roller, that it be bound up and wax strong, that it hold the sword.

22 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og bryder hans Arme, baade den hele og den brudte, og lader Sværdet falde af hans Haand.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23 Jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

24 Men jeg styrker Babels Konges Arme og lægger mit Sværd i hans Haand; og jeg bryder Faraos Arme, og han skal stønne for ham paa saaredes Vis.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put My sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

25 Jeg styrker Babels Konges Arme, men Faraos skal synke; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg lægger mit Sværd i Babels Konges Haand og han svinger det imod Ægypten.

And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

26 Og jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
