Ezekiel 25

1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Mennesskesøn, vend dit Ansigt imod Ammoniterne, profeter imod dem

Son of man, set thy face against the sons of 'Ammon, and prophesy against them;

3 og sig til dem: Hør den Herre HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du råbte "Ha, ha!" over min Helligdom, da den vanhelligedes, og over Israels Land, da det lagdes øde, og over Judas Hus, da de vandrede i Landflygtighed,

And say unto the sons of 'Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast said, Aha, concerning my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and concerning the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and concerning the house of Judah, when they went into exile:

4 se, derfor giver jeg dig i Eje til Østens Sønner; de skal opslå deres Teltlejre og indrette deres Boliger i dig; de skal spise din Frugt og drikke din Mælk.

Therefore, behold, I will give thee up to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set up their towers in thee, and place in thee their dwellings; they shall indeed eat thy fruit, and they shall surely drink thy milk.

5 Jeg gør Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Byer til Lejrsted for Småkvæg; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I will change Rabbah into a pasture for camels, and [the land of] the sons of 'Ammon into a resting-place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

6 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du klappede i Hænderne og stampede med Fødderne og med dyb Ringeagt godtede dig af Hjertet over Israels Land,

For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thou didst clap thy hands, and stamp with thy feet, and rejoice with all thy derision in the soul over the land of Israel:

7 se, derfor udrækker jeg Hånden imod dig og gør dig til Rov for Folkene; jeg udrydder dig af Folkeslagene, udsletter dig af Landene og tilintetgør dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

Therefore, behold, will I stretch out my hand over thee, and will give thee up for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries; I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

8 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Moab siger: "Se, det er med Judas Hus som med alle de andre Folk!"

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because Moab and Se'ir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations:

9 se, derfor lægger jeg Moabs Skrænter åbne, så Byerne går tabt fra dets ene Ende til den anden, Landets Pryd, Bet Jesjimot, Baal-Meon og Hirjatajim.

Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-ha-yeshimoth, Ba'al-me'on, and Kiryathayim,

10 Østens Sønner giver jeg det i Eje, for at det ikke mere skal ihukommes blandt Folkene.

Unto the children of the east [coming] against the sons of 'Ammon, and I will give them in possession; in order that the sons of 'Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

11 Jeg holder Dom over Moab; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And on Moab will I execute judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Edom optrådte hævngerrigt mod Judas Hus og pådrog sig svar Skyld ved at hævne sig på dem,

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the Edomites have acted revengefully against the house of Judah, and have greatly offended, and have taken vengeance on them:

13 derfor, så siger den Herre HEEREN: Jeg udrækker Hånden mod Edom og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf og gør det øde; fra Teman til Dedan skal de falde for Sværdet.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will also stretch out my hand against Edom, and cut off from it man and beast; and I will make it a ruined land from Theman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14 Jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn på Edom ved mit Folk Israels Hånd, og de skal handle med Edom efter min Vrede og Harme, og Edom skal kende min Hævn, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And I will display my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury: and they shall feel my vengeance, saith the Lord Eternal.

15 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Filisterne optrådte hævngerrigt og med Foragt i Hjertet tog Hævn og hærgede i endeløst Had,

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the Philistines have acted in revenge, and have taken vengeance with derision in their soul, to destroy out of ancient enmity:

16 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg udrækker Hånden mod Filisterne og udrydder kreterne, og jeg tilintetgør, hvad der er levnet ved Havets Strand.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethim, and destroy the remnant of the [dwellers] of the sea-coast.

17 Jeg tager vældig Hævn oer dem og revser dem i Vrede; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn på dem.

And I will execute on them great vengeances with furious chastisements: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I display my vengeance on them.
