Ezekiel 16
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, forehold Jerusalem dets Vederstyggeligheder
“Son of man, challenge Jerusalem over her disgusting practices.
3 og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Jerusalem: Dit Udspring og din Oprindelse var i Kanaanæernes Land; din Fader var Amorit, din Moder Hetiterinde.
Tell Jerusalem that this is what the Lord God says to her: You really are a Canaanite, both by your birth and parentage. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Og ved din Fødsel gik det således til: Da du fødtes, blev din Navlestreng ikke skåret over, ej heller blev du tvættet ren med Vand eller gnedet med Salt eller lagt i Svøb.
On the day you were born your cord was not cut, and you weren't washed to clean you up, you weren't rubbed with salt, and you weren't wrapped in cloths.
5 Ingen så på dig med så megen Medynk, at han af Medlidenhed gjorde nogen af disse Ting for dig, men du henslængtes på Marken, den Dag du fødtes; således væmmedes man ved din Sjæl.
No one looked on you with love to do anything like this for you; no one showed any kind of care for you. No, you were thrown away in a field, abandoned and despised from the day you were born.
6 Men jeg kom forbi, og da jeg så dig sprælle i Blod, sagde jeg til dig, som du lå der i Blodet: "Du skal leve
But I passed by and saw you kicking, covered in your own blood. As you were lying there in your blood I told you, ‘I want you to live!’ I said to you right there, ‘I want you to live!’
7 og vokse som en Urt på Marken!" Og du voksede, blev stor og trådte ind i din Skønheds Fylde; dine Bryster blev faste, og dit Hår voksede; men du var nøgen og bar.
I help you to grow like a plant in the field. You grew up into a beautiful young woman. Your breasts developed and your body hair grew, and you were completely naked.
8 Så kom jeg forbi og så dig, og se, din Tid var inde, din Elskovstid; og jeg bredte min Kappeflig over dig og tilhyllede din Blusel; så tilsvor jeg dig Troskab og indgik Pagt med dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, og du blev min.
When I passed by again, I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for lovemaking. So I spread my robe over you and covered up your naked body. I committed myself to you and made a solemn agreement with you, and made you mine, declares the Lord God.
9 Så tvættede jeg dig med Vand, skyllede Blodet af dig og salvede dig med Olie;
Then I washed you with water, cleaned off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
10 jeg klædte dig i broget vævede Klæder, gav dig Sko af Tahasjskind på, bandt Byssusklæde om dit Hoved og hyllede dig i Silke;
I put a beautifully embroidered dress on you and gave you fine leather sandals. I clothed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 jeg smykkede dig, lagde Spange om dine Arme og Kæde om din Hals,
I gave you jewelry—I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.
12 fæstede en Ring i din Næse, kugler i dine Ører og en herlig krone på dit Hoved;
I put a ring in your nose and earrings on your ears, and placed a beautiful crown on your head.
13 du smykkedes med Guld og - Sølv, din Klædning var Byssus, Silke og broget vævede Klæder; fint Hvedemel, Honning og Olie var din Mad, og du blev såre dejlig og drev det til at blive Dronning.
You wore gold and silver jewelry, and your clothes were made of the finest linen, expensive fabric, and embroidered cloth. You ate bread made with the best flour, and honey and olive oil. You grew even more beautiful and became a queen.
14 Dit Ry kom ud blandt Folkene for din Dejligheds Skyld; thi den var fuldendt ved de Smykker, jeg udstyrede dig med, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
You were famous around the world because of your beauty, for I used my majestic power to make you so wonderful, declares the Lord God.
15 Men du stolede på din Dejlighed og bolede i Kraft af dit Ry; du udøste din bolerske Attrå over enhver, som kom forbi; du blev hans.
You were so proud of your beauty that you were unfaithful to me. You thought that because you were so famous you could prostitute yourself and sleep with anyone who passed by. They took your beautiful body for themselves.
16 Af dine Klæder tog du og gjorde dig spraglede Offerhøje og bolede på dem.
You made yourself colorful pagan shrines out of the clothes I'd given you, and there you acted as a prostitute. Things like this have never happened before, and they should never happen in the future!
17 Du tog dine Smykker af mit Guld og Sølv, som jeg havde givet dig, og gjorde dig Mandsbilleder og bolede med dem.
You also used the beautiful gold and silver jewelry I gave you to make male idols and you prostituted yourself with them.
18 Du tog dine broget vævede Klæder og hyllede dem deri, og min Olie og Røgelse satte du for dem.
You used your embroidered clothes to dress them, and you placed before them my olive oil and incense.
19 Brødet, som jeg havde givet dig - fint Hedemel, Olie og Honning gav jeg dig at spise - satte du for dem til en liflig Duft, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
You presented the food I had given you as an offering for them to accept —bread made from the best flour, olive oil, and honey that I had provided for you to eat. That's exactly what you did, declares the Lord God.
20 Og du tog dine Sønner og Døtre, som du havde født mig, og slagtede dem til Føde for dem. Var det ikke nok med din Bolen,
You sacrificed your sons and daughters—the children you had for me—offering them as food for idols to eat. Wasn't your prostitution evil enough?
21 siden du slagtede mine Sønner og gav dem hen, idet du indviede dem til dem?
You slaughtered my children, sacrificing them to idols.
22 Og under alle dine Vederstyggeligheder og din Bolen kom du ikke din Ungdoms dage i Hu, da du var nøgen og bar og lå og sprællede i Blod.
While you were busy with all your disgusting practices and your prostitution, you forgot about the time when you were young, completely naked and lying there kicking in your own blood.
23 Og efter al denne din Ondskab - ve dig, ve! lyder det fra den Herre HERREN -
Disaster is coming! Disaster is coming on you, declares the Lord God. As well as all the other evil things you did,
24 byggede du dig en Alterfod og gjorde dig en Offerhøj på alle Torve.
you built yourself a pagan shrine, a high place of idol worship on every public square in the city.
25 Ved hvert Gadehjørne byggede du dig en Offerhøj og vanærede din Dejlighed; du spredte Benene for enhver, som kom forbi, og drev din Bolen vidt.
You made yourselves high places of idol worship at the top of every street; you degraded yourself, offering your beautiful body to anyone who passed by, opening your legs for them, becoming more and more promiscuous.
26 Du bolede med Ægypterne, dine sværlemmede Naboer, og drev din Bolen vidt og krænkede mig.
You gave yourself as a prostitute to your Egyptian neighbors with their large sexual organs, making me angry as you became even more promiscuous.
27 Men se, jeg udrakte min Hånd imod dig og unddrog dig, hvad der tilkom dig, og jeg gav dig dine Fjender Filisterindernes Gridskhed i Vold, de, som skammede sig over din utugtige Færd.
So I acted to reduce my blessings to you. I let your enemies the Philistines do what they wanted to you. Even they were embarrassed at your immorality.
28 Siden bolede du med Assyrerne, umættelig som du var; du bolede med dem, men blev endda ikke mæt.
Because you weren't satisfied you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians. But even then you weren't satisfied.
29 Så udstrakte du din Bolen til Kræmmerlandet, Kaldæernes Land, men blev endda ikke mæt.
So you took your promiscuous behavior to Babylonia, the country of merchants, but even then you weren't satisfied!
30 Hvor vansmægtede dog dit Hjerte, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, da du gjorde alt dette, som kun en arg Skøge kan gøre,
You're really sick-minded to do all this, acting like a prostitute with no shame, declares the Lord God.
31 da du byggede dig en Alterfod ved hvert Gadehjørne og gjorde dig en Offerhøj på hvert Torv. Men du lignede ikke Skøgen i at samle Skøgeløn;
Actually you weren't even a normal prostitute when you built yourselves pagan shrines at the top of every street and high places of idol worship on every public square—because you refused to be paid for your services!
32 hvilken Horkvinde, der tager fremmede i sin Mands Sted! -
You're a wife that loves adultery! You sleep with strangers instead of your husband!
33 ellers giver man Skøgen en Gave, men du gav alle dine Elskere Gaver og købte dem til at komme til dig rundt om fra og bole med dig.
Normally all prostitutes are paid, but you were the one giving gifts to all your lovers. You even bribed them to come from all around and have sex with you.
34 Hos dig var det modsat af, hvad Tilfældet ellers er med Kvinder; ingen løb efter dig for at bole, men du gav Skøgeløn og fik selv ingen; det var det modsatte.
So you're the opposite of other prostitutes. No one comes to you asking for sex, and you pay the prostitute's fee instead of receiving it. You're the exact opposite!
35 Derfor, du Skøge, hør HERRENs Ord!
So, you prostitute, listen to the message from the Lord!
36 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi din Skam ødtes bort og din Blusel blottedes for dine Elskere ved din Boler, derfor og for alle dine vederstyggelige Afgudsbilleders Skyld og for dine Sønners Blods Skyld, som du gav dem,
This is what the Lord God says: Because you were so crazy with desire you stripped yourself naked and committed adultery with your lovers and with all your disgusting idols, and because you killed your children as sacrifices to those idols,
37 se, derfor vil jeg samle alle dine Elskere, hvem du var til Glæde, både alle dem, du elskede, og alle dem, du hadede; jeg vil samle dem imod dig trindt om fra og blotte din Blusel for dem, så de ser den helt.
I'm going to bring together all the lovers you went to bed with, whether you loved them or hated them, and I will have them gather from everywhere around and I will strip you as they watch so they will see you totally naked.
38 Jeg vil dømme dig efter Horkvinders og Morderskers Ret og lade Vrede og Nidkærhed ramme dig.
I will impose on you the punishment for women who commit adultery and those who murder; you will be punished in passionate anger.
39 Jeg giver dig i deres Hånd, og de skal nedbryde din Alterfod, ødelægge dine Offerhøje, rive Klæderne af dig, tage dine Smykker og lade dig stå nøgen og bar.
Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will demolish your pagan shrines and destroy your high places of idol worship. They will strip you of your clothes, remove your beautiful jewelry, and leave you stark naked.
40 De skal sammenkalde en Forsamling imod dig, stene dig og med deres Sværd hugge dig sønder og sammen;
They will come with a mob to attack you. They will stone you and chop you into pieces with their swords.
41 de skal sætte Ild på dine Huse og fuldbyrde Dommen over dig i mange Kvinders Påsyn. Jeg gør Ende på din Bolen, og du skal ikke mere komme til at give Skøgeløn.
They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women watch. I will stop your prostitution, and you won't ever pay your lovers again.
42 Jeg stiller min Vrede på dig, til min Nidkærhed viger fra dig, så jeg får Ro og ikke mere er krænket.
Then I will finish being jealous and furious with you. I will calm down and won't be angry any more.
43 Fordi du ikke kom dine Ungdoms Dage i Hu, men vakte min Vrede ved alt dette, se, derfor vil jeg gøre Gengæld og lade din Færd komme over dit Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN. Du skal ikke vedblive at føje Skændsel til alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.
Since you didn't remember how I looked after you when you were young, but made me angry with all the things that you did, I will make sure you experience the results of what you've done, declares the Lord God. For this immorality was in addition to all the other disgusting things you did, wasn't it?
44 Se, enhver, som ynder Ordsprog, skal bruge det Ordsprog om dig: "Som Moder så datter!"
Everyone who likes to use proverbs will quote this one about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
45 Du er din Moders Datter, hun lededes ved sin Mand og sine Børn; og du er dine Søstres Søster, de lededes ved deres Mænd og Børn. Eders Moder var Hetiterinde, eders Fader Amorit.
You are the daughter of your mother who detested her husband and children. You are just like her! You are the sister of your sisters, just like them who detested their husbands and children. In fact your mother was a Hittite and your father was an Amorite.
46 Din store søster var samaria og hendes Døtre norden for dig, og din lille Søster sønden for dig var Sodoma og hendes Døtre.
Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister was Sodom, who lived south of you with her daughters.
47 På deres Veje vandrede du ikke, og Vederstyggeligheder som deres øvede du ikke; kun en liden Stund, så handlede du endnu værre end de på alle dine Veje.
You didn't just follow their ways and do the same disgusting things they did, you very quickly became even worse than them.
48 Så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERRE, din Søster Sodoma og hendes Døtre handlede ikke som du og dine Døtre!
As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters didn't ever do what you and your daughters have done.
49 Se, din Søster Sodomas Brøde var Overmod; Brød i Overflod og sorgløs Tryghed blev hende og hendes Døtre til Del, men de rakte ikke den arme og fattige en hjælpende Hånd;
The sins of your sister Sodom were these: She and her daughters were proud, greedy, and lazy. They didn't help the poor and those in need.
50 de blev hovmodige og øvede Vederstyggelighed for mine Øjne; derfor stødte jeg dem bort, så snart jeg så det.
They became arrogant and did disgusting things in my presence. So I got rid of them when I saw this.
51 Heller ikke Samaria syndede halvt så meget som du! Du har øvet flere Vederstyggeligheder end de og retfærdiggjort dine Søstre ved alle de Vederstyggeligheder, du øvede.
Samaria didn't sin half as badly as you did. You have done far more disgusting things than they did. In fact, all the revolting things you've done make your sisters look good!
52 Så bær da også du din Skændsel, du, som har skaffet dine Søstre Oprejsning; da dine Synder er vederstyggeligere end deres, står de retfærdigere end du; så skam da også du dig og bær din Skændsel, fordi du har retfærdiggjort dine Søstre.
Now you're going to have to put up with your shame, since by your disgraceful sins you made them seem far better. Compared to you they look good! Now you too have to put up with your shame and disgrace because you've made your sisters look as if they were good.
53 Og jeg vil vende deres Skæbne, Sodomas og hendes Døtres og Samarias og hendes Døtres, og jeg vil vende din Skæbne midt iblandt dem,
Even so I'm going to bring Sodom and her daughters back from exile, and Samaria and her daughters too. I will bring you back together with them.
54 for at du kan bære din Skændsel og blues ved alt, hvad du har gjort, idet du derved skaffede demen Trøst.
In this way you will have to put up with your disgrace and be ashamed of all the bad things you did that made them feel better about themselves.
55 Dine Søstre Sodoma og hendes Døtre og Samaria og hendes Døtre skal blive, hvad de fordum var, og du og dine Døtre, hvad I fordum var.
Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will be restored to what they were before. You and your daughters will also be restored to what you were before.
56 Din Søster Sodomas Navn tog du ikke i din Mund i dit Overmods Dage,
Didn't you mock your sister Sodom when you were feeling proud,
57 da din Blusel endnu ikke var blottet som nu, du Spot for Edoms Kvinder, og alle kvinder deromkring og for Filisternes Kvinder, som hånede dig fra alle Sider!
before you were shown to be so wicked yourselves? Of course now you are mocked by the Edomites and the surrounding nations, as well as by the Philistines. Everyone around you looks down on you.
58 Du må bære din Skændsel og dine Vederstyggeligheder, lyder det fra HERREN.
You will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and your disgusting practices, declares the Lord.
59 Ja, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør med dig, som du har gjort, du, som lod hånt om Eden og brød Pagten.
This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to punish you according to your sins, because you treated the promise you made with contempt by breaking the agreement.
60 Men jeg vil ihukomme min Pagt med dig i din Ungdoms Dage og oprette en evig Pagt med dig.
But I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.
61 Og du skal komme dine Veje i Hu og blues, når jeg tager dine Søstre, både dem, der er større, og dem, der er mindre end du, og giver dig dem til Døtre, men ikke fordi du var tro i Pagten.
Then you will remember the way you are meant to live and be ashamed when you meet your older and younger sisters when they return to you. I will give them to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our original agreement.
62 Jeg opretter min Pagt med dig, og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN,
This is how I will endorse my agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord,
63 for at du skal komme det i Hu med Skam og ikke mere kunne åbne din Mund, fordi du blues, når jeg tilgiver dig alt, hvad du har gjort, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
so that you will remember and be ashamed, and won't ever defend your disgraceful behavior when I forgive you for everything you've done, declares the Lord God.”
