Ezekiel 38
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
The word of Yahweh 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 toward Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; and prophesy against him.
3 og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal.
Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
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.
So I will turn you around and set hooks in your jaw; I will send you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them dressed in full armor, a great company with large shields and small shields, all of them holding swords!
5 Persere, Ætiopere og Putæere er med dem, alle med Skjold og Hjelm,
Persia, Cush, and Libya are with them, all of them with shields and helmets!
6 Gomer med alle dets Hobe, Togarmas Hus fra det yderste Nord med alle dets Hobe, mange Folkeslag er med.
Gomer and all her troops, and Beth Togarmah, from the far parts of the north, and all its troops! Many peoples are with you!
7 Rust dig og hold dig rede med hele din Skare, som er samlet om dig, og vær mig rede til Tjeneste.
Get ready! Yes, prepare yourself and your troops assembled with you, and be their commander.
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.
You will be called after many days, and after some years you will go to a land that has recovered from the sword and that has been gathered from many peoples, gathered back to the mountains of Israel that had been a continuous ruin. But the land's people will be brought out of the peoples, and they will live in safety, all of them!
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.
So you will go up as a storm goes; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, all the many soldiers 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
The Lord Yahweh says this: It will happen on that day that plans will form in your heart, and you will devise wicked schemes.'
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,
Then you will say, 'I will go up to the open land; I will go to the quiet people living in safety, all of them living where there are no walls or bars, and where there are no city gates.
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.«
I will capture booty and steal plunder, in order to bring my hand against the ruins that are newly inhabited, and against the people gathered from the nations, people who are gaining livestock and property, and who are living at the center of the earth.'
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?«
Sheba and Dedan, and the traders of Tarshish along with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you come to plunder? Have you assembled your armies to take away spoil, to carry off silver and gold, to take their livestock and property and to haul away much plunder?'
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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: On that day, when my people Israel are living securely, will you not learn about them?
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;
You will come from your place far away in the north with a great army, all of them riding on horses, a great company, a large army.
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.
You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, so the nations might know me when I show myself through you, Gog, to be holy before their eyes.
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?
The Lord Yahweh says this: Are you not the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in their own time for years that I would bring you against them?
18 Men paa hin Dag, naar Gog overfalder Israels Land, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, vil jeg give min Vrede Luft.
So it will come to be in that day when Gog attacks the land of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—my wrath will mount up in my anger.
19 I Nidkærhed, i glødende Vrede udtaler jeg det: Sandelig, paa hin Dag skal et vældigt Jordskælv komme over Israels Land;
In my zeal and in the fire of my anger, I declare that on that day there will be a great earthquake 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.
They will shake before me—the fish of the sea and the birds of the skies, the beasts of the fields, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth, and every person who is on the surface of the land. The mountains will be thrown down and the cliffs will fall, until every wall falls to the earth.
21 Jeg nedkalder alle Rædsler over ham, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; den enes Sværd skal rettes mod den anden;
I will summon a sword against him on all my mountains—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—each man's sword will 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.
Then I will judge him by plague and blood; and overflowing rain and hailstones and burning sulfur I will rain down upon him and his troops and the many nations that are 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.
For I will show my greatness and my holiness and I will make myself known in the eyes of the many nations, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
