Ezekiel 38
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Gog i Magogs Land, Fyrsten over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal, og profeter imod ham
Son of man, set your face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, and prophesy against him,
3 og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal.
and say to him, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:
4 Jeg vender dig og sætter Kroge i dine Kæber og trækker dig frem med hele din Hær, Heste og Ryttere, alle i smukke Klæder, en vældig Skare med store og smaa Skjolde, alle med Sværd i Haand.
and I will gather you, and all your host, horses and horsemen, all wearing breastplates, with a great multitude, shields and helmets and swords:
5 Persere, Ætiopere og Putæere er med dem, alle med Skjold og Hjelm,
Persians, and Ethiopians, and Libyans; all with helmets and shields.
6 Gomer med alle dets Hobe, Togarmas Hus fra det yderste Nord med alle dets Hobe, mange Folkeslag er med.
Gomer, and all belonging to him; the house of Thorgama, from the end of the north, and all belonging to him; and many nations with you.
7 Rust dig og hold dig rede med hele din Skare, som er samlet om dig, og vær mig rede til Tjeneste.
Be you prepared, prepare yourself, you, and all your multitude that is assembled with you, and you shall be to me for a guard.
8 Lang Tid herefter skal der komme Bud efter dig; ved Aarenes Fjende skal du overfalde et Land, som atter er unddraget Sværdet, et Folk, som fra mange Folkeslag er sanket sammen paa Israels Bjerge, der stadig laa øde hen, et Folk, som er ført bort fra Folkeslagene og nu bor trygt til Hobe.
He shall be prepared after many days, and he shall come at the end of years, and shall come to a land that is brought back from the sword, when [the people] are gathered from many nations against the land of Israel, which was entirely desolate: and he is come forth out of the nations, and they shall all dwell securely.
9 Du skal trække op som et Uvejr og komme som en Sky og oversvømme Landet, du og alle dine Hobe og de mange Folkeslag, som følger dig.
And you shall go up as rain, and shall arrive as a cloud to cover the land, and there shall be you, and all that are about you, and many nations with you.
10 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Paa hin Dag skal en Tanke stige op i dit Hjerte, og du skal oplægge onde Raad
Thus says the Lord God; It shall also come to pass in that day, that thoughts shall come up into your heart, and you shall devise evil devices.
11 og sige: »Jeg vil drage op imod et aabent Land og overfalde fredelige Folk, som bor trygt, som alle bor uden Mure og hverken har Portstænger eller Porte,
And you shall say, I will go up to the rejected land; I will come upon them that are at ease in tranquility, and dwelling in peace, all inhabiting a land in which there is no wall, nor bars, nor have they doors;
12 for at gøre Bytte og røve Rov, lægge Haand paa genopbyggede Ruiner og paa et Folk, der er indsamlet fra Folkene og vinder sig Fæ og Gods, og som bor paa Jordens Navle.«
to seize plunder, and to take their spoil; to turn my hands against the desolate land that is [now] inhabited, and against a nation that is gathered from many nations, that have acquired property, dwelling in the midst of the land.
13 Sabæerne og Dedaniterne, Tarsis's Købmænd og alle dets Handelsfolk skal sige til dig: »Kommer du for at gøre Bytte, har du samlet din Skare for at røve Rov, for at bortføre Sølv og Guld, rane Fæ og Gods og gøre et vældigt Bytte?«
Sabba, and Daedan, and Carthaginian merchants, and all their villages shall say to you, You are come for plunder to take a prey, and to get spoils: you have gathered your multitude to take silver and gold, to carry off property, to take spoils.
14 Profetér derfor, Menneskesøn, og sig til Gog: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, paa hin Dag skal du bryde op, medens mit Folk Israel bor trygt,
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord; Will you not arise in that day, when my people Israel are dwelling securely,
15 og komme fra din Hjemstavn yderst i Nord, du og de mange Folkeslag, der følger dig, alle til Hest, en stor Skare, en vældig Hær;
and come out of your place from the farthest north, and many nations with you? all of them mounted on horses, a great gathering, and a large force?
16 som en Sky skal du drage op mod mit Folk Israel og oversvømme Landet. I de sidste Dage skal det ske; jeg fører dig imod mit Land; og Folkene skal kende mig, naar jeg for deres Øjne helliger mig paa dig, Gog.
And you shall come up upon my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land; it shall come to pass in the last days, that I will bring you up upon my land, that all the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you before them.
17 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Er det dig, jeg talede om i gamle Dage ved mine Tjenere, Israels Profeter, som profeterede i hine Tider, at jeg vilde bringe dig over dem?
Thus says the Lord God, to Gog; You are [he] concerning whom I spoke in former times, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, in those days and years, that I would bring you up against them.
18 Men paa hin Dag, naar Gog overfalder Israels Land, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, vil jeg give min Vrede Luft.
And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord God,
19 I Nidkærhed, i glødende Vrede udtaler jeg det: Sandelig, paa hin Dag skal et vældigt Jordskælv komme over Israels Land;
[that] my wrath and my jealousy shall arise, I have spoken in the fire of mine anger, verily in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 for mit Aasyn skal Havets Fisk, Himmelens Fugle, Markens vilde Dyr og alt Kryb paa Jorden og alle Mennesker paa Jordens Flade skælve, Bjergene skal styrte, Klippevæggene falde og hver Mur synke til Jord.
and the fish of the sea shall quake at the presence of the Lord, and the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the field, and all the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth; and the mountains shall be tore, and the valleys shall fall, and every wall on the land shall fall.
21 Jeg nedkalder alle Rædsler over ham, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; den enes Sværd skal rettes mod den anden;
And I will summon against it even every fear, says the Lord: the sword of [every] man shall be against his brother.
22 jeg gaar i Rette med ham med Pest og Blod, med Regnskyl og Haglsten; Ild og Svovl lader jeg regne over ham, hans Hobe og de mange Folkeslag, som følger ham.
And I will judge him with pestilence, and blood, and sweeping rain, and hailstones; and I will rain upon him fire and brimstone, and upon all that are with him, and upon many nations with him.
23 Jeg viser mig stor og hellig og giver mig til Kende for de mange Folks Øjne; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
And I will be magnified, and sanctified, and glorified; and I will be known in the presence of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
