Ezekiel 35
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Se'irs Bjergland og profeter imod det
“Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
3 og sig til det: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Se'irs Bjergland, og løfter min Haand imod dig; jeg gør dig til Ørk og Ødemark,
Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
4 dine Byer lægger jeg i Grus. Du selv skal blive til Ørk og kende, at jeg er HERREN.
I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
5 Fordi du nærede evigt Had og i Nødens Stund overgav Israeliterne til Sværdet, da deres Misgerning var fuldmoden,
Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
6 derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør dig til Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig; sandelig, du forbrød dig ved Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig.
So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
7 Jeg gør Se'irs Bjergland til Ørk og Ødemark og udrydder deraf enhver, som kommer og gaar;
I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
8 jeg fylder dets Bjerge med dræbte; paa dine Høje og i dine Dale og Kløfter skal de sværdslagne falde.
I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
9 Jeg gør dig til Ørk for evigt, dine Byer skal ikke bebos; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
10 Fordi du sagde: »De tvende Folk og de tvende Lande skal tilhøre mig, jeg vil tage dem i Eje!« skønt HERREN var der,
Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
11 derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil gøre med dig efter den Vrede og det Nid, du hadefuldt udviste imod dem, og jeg vil give mig til Hende for dig, naar jeg dømmer dig;
then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
12 og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN. Jeg har hørt al den Spot, du udslyngede mod Israels Bjerge: »De er ødelagt, os er de givet til Føde!«
You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
13 Du gjorde dig stor imod mig med din Mund og overfusede mig med Ord; jeg hørte det.
You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
14 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Som det var din Glæde, at mit Land blev Ørk, saaledes vil jeg gøre med dig;
This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
15 som det var din Glæde, at Israels Hus's Arvelod blev Ørk, saaledes vil jeg gøre med dig. Ørk skal du blive, Se'irs Bjergland og hele Edom med; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
