< Ezekiel 26 >
1 I det ellevte År På den første dag i ... månede kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word bf Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Menneskesøn! Fordi Tyrus siger om Jerusalem: "Ha, ha! Folkeslagenes Port er knust; den står mig åben; den var rig, men er nu øde!"
Son of man, because Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, “Aha! she is broken that was the gate of the nations; now is all transferred to me; I shall be full, now that she is desolate!”
3 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Tyrus, og fører mange Folk imod dig, som når Havet rejser sine Bølger.
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
4 De skal ødelægge Tyruss Mure og nedbryde Tårnene. Jeg fejer Muldet bort og gør Tyrus til nøgen Klippe;
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers; and I will scrape off her earth from her, and make her like a naked rock.
5 en Tørreplads for Net skal det være ude i Havet, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; og det skal blive et Bytte for Folkene.
She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. And she shall be to the nations for a spoil;
6 Dets Døtre på Land skal hugges ned med Sværd; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
and her daughters that are upon the land shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
7 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, nordenfra fører jeg mod Tyrus Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel, Kongernes Konge, med Heste, Vogne og Ryttere og en vældig Hærskare.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, a king of kings from the North, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a vast multitude of people.
8 Dine Døtre på Land skal han hugge ned med Sværd; han skal bygge Belejringstårne, opkaste Stormvold og rejse Skjoldtag imod dig;
Thy daughters upon the land shall he slay with the sword; and he shall set a tower against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee;
9 sin Murbrækkers Stød skal han rette imod dine Mure og nedbryde dine Tårne med sine Sværd.
and his battering-rams shall be set against thy walls, and thy towers shall he break down with axes.
10 Hans Heste skal myldre, så Støvet, de rejser, skjuler dig; Ryttere, Hjul og Vogne skal larme, så dine Mure ryster, når han drager igennem dine Porte, som når man trænger ind i en stormet By.
By reason of the great number of his horses, their dust shall cover thee; thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he entereth into thy gates, as men enter into a city that is broken through.
11 Med sine Hestes Hove skal han nedtrampe alle dine Gader; dit Folk skal han hugge ned med Sværdet og styrte dine stolte Støtter til Jorden.
With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; thy people he shall slay with the sword; and the idols of thy strength shall fall to the ground.
12 De skal rane din Rigdom og gøre dine Handelsvarer til Bytte; de skal nedbryde dine Mure og nedrive dine herlige Huse: Sten, Tømmer og Ler skal de kaste i Vandet.
And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy beautiful houses; and thy stones and thy timber and thine earth shall they lay in the midst of the waters.
13 Jeg gør Endepå dine brusende Sange, og dine Citres Klang skal ikke mere høres.
And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
14 Jeg gør dig til nøgen Klippe, en Tørreplads for Net skal du være. Aldrig mere skal du bygges, så sandt jeg, HERREN, har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And I will make thee like a naked rock; thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more; for I, Jehovah, have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 Så siger den Herre HERREN til Tyrus: For sandt, ved dit drønende Fald, ved de såredes Stønnen, når Sværd hugger løs i din Midte, skal Strandene skælve.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Behold, the isles shall shake at the sound of thy fall, at the groaning of the wounded, and at the slaughter which is made in the midst of thee.
16 Ned fra sin Trone stiger hver Fyrste ved Havet, Kapperne lægger de bort, aflægger de brogede Klæder og klæder sig i Sorg; de sidder på Jorden og skæler uafbrudt, slagne af Rædsel over dig.
And all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their mantles, and put off their embroidered garments. They shall clothe themselves with trembling, and sit on the ground, and tremble every moment, and be astonished at thee.
17 De synger en Klagesang om dig og siger til dig: Ak, du gik under, forsvandt fra Havet, du fejrede By, du, som var vældig på Havet, du og dine Borgere, du, der jog Rædsel i alle, som boede der!
And they shall utter a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, “How art thou destroyed, thou that wast peopled from the seas, the renowned city, that wast mighty upon the sea, thou and thine inhabitants, causing terror to all that dwelt near thee!”
18 Nu gribes Strandene af Skælven, den Dag du falder, og Havets Øer forfærdes over din Udgang!
Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall quake at thy departure.
19 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Når jeg gør dig til en øde By og lige med affolkede Byer, når jeg fører Verdensdybet over dig, og de vældige Vande skjuler dig,
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee,
20 så støder jeg dig ned iblandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet, blandt Fortidens Folk, og lader dig ligge i Underverdenen som ældgamle Ruiner blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet, for at du aldrig mere skal bebos eller rejse dig i de levendes Land;
I will bring thee down to them that have gone down to the pit, to the people of old time, and I will cause thee to dwell in the lower parts of the earth, amid the ruins of ancient times, with them that have gone down to the pit, that thou be no more inhabited; but I will set glory in the land of the living.
21 jeg giver dig hen til brat Undergang, og det skal være ude med dig; selv om der søges efter dig, skal du aldrig i Evighed findes, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
I will make thee a desolation, and thou shalt be no more; though thou be sought for, thou shalt be found no more forever, saith the Lord Jehovah.
