< Ezekiel 35 >

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Se'irs Bjergland og profeter imod det
“You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
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,
‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
4 dine Byer lægger jeg i Grus. Du selv skal blive til Ørk og kende, at jeg er HERREN.
I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
5 Fordi du nærede evigt Had og i Nødens Stund overgav Israeliterne til Sværdet, da deres Misgerning var fuldmoden,
You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
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.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
7 Jeg gør Se'irs Bjergland til Ørk og Ødemark og udrydder deraf enhver, som kommer og gaar;
so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
8 jeg fylder dets Bjerge med dræbte; paa dine Høje og i dine Dale og Kløfter skal de sværdslagne falde.
I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in 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 cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
10 Fordi du sagde: »De tvende Folk og de tvende Lande skal tilhøre mig, jeg vil tage dem i Eje!« skønt HERREN var der,
You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting 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;
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating 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!«
Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
13 Du gjorde dig stor imod mig med din Mund og overfusede mig med Ord; jeg hørte det.
When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
14 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Som det var din Glæde, at mit Land blev Ørk, saaledes vil jeg gøre med dig;
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
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.
You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
