Ezekiel 32
1 I det tolvte År på den første dag i den tolvte måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og sig til ham: Du Folkenes Løve, det er ude med dig! Du var som en Drage i Havet med prustende Næse, med Fødderne plumred du Vandet, oproded dets Strømme.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg breder mit Garn over dig ved en Sværm af mange Folk, de skal drage dig op i mit Net.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Jeg kaster dig på Land og slænger dig hen på Marken, lader alle Himlens Fugle slå sig ned på dig og al Jordens Dyr blive mætte ved dig.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Jeg lægger dit Kød på Bjergene, fylder Dalene op med dit Ådsel,
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 vander med dit Udflåd Jorden lige til Bjergene, Kløfterne skal fyldes af dit Blod.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Jeg skjuler Himlen, når du slukkes, klæder dens Stjerner i Sorg, jeg skjuler Solen i Skyer, og Månen skinner ej mer.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Alle Himmellys klæder jeg i Sorg for dig, hyller dit Land i Mørke, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 Jeg volder mange Folkeslags Hjerter Kvide, når jeg bringer dine Fanger til Folkene, til Lande du ikke kender;
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 jeg lader mange Folkeslag stivne af Rædsel over dig, og deres Konger skal gyse over dig, når jeg svinger mit Sværd for deres Ansigter; de skal ængstes uafbrudt, hver for sit Liv, den Dag du falder.
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Babels Konges Sværd skal komme over dig.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Jeg styrter din Hob ved Heltes Sværd, de grummeste af alle Folkene; de hærger Ægyptens Pragt, og al dets Hob lægges øde.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Jeg udrydder alt dets kvæg ved de mange Vande, Menneskefod skal ej plumre dem mer, ej Dyreklov rode dem op;
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 så lader jeg Vandene klares og Strømmene flyde som Olie - lyder det fra den Herre HERREN -
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 når jeg gør Ægypten til Ørk, så Landet og dets Fylde er øde, når jeg nedhugger alle, som bor der, så de kender, at jeg er HERREN.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 Dette er en Klagesang, som du skal kvæde; Folkenes Kvinder skal kvæde den; over Ægypten og al dets larmende Hob skal de kvæde den, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 I det tolvte År på den femtende Dag i..." Måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 Menneskesøn, klag over Ægyptens larmende Hob; syng Klagesang over den, du og Folkenes Kvinder! Far ned i Underverdenen blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet!
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 Er du lifligere end nogen anden? Stig ned og lig blandt de uomskårne!
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Midt iblandt sværdslagne skal han segne, og al hans larmende Hob skal ligge hos ham.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Heltenes Førere skal tale til ham midt i Dødsriget: "Er du mægtigere end nogen anden? Stig ned og lig blandt de uomskårne!" (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Der er Assur og hele hans Flok rundt om hans Grav; alle er de dræbt, faldet for Sværd;
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 han fik sin Grav i en krog af Dybet, og hans Flok ligger rundt om hans Grav; alle er de dræbt, faldet for Sværd, de, som spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 Der er Elam med al sin larmende Hob rundt om sin Grav; alle er de dræbt, faldet før Sværd, og de for uomskårne ned i Underverdenen, de, som spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land; nu bærer de deres Skændsel blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Iblandt dræbte fik han et Leje med al sin larmende Hob rundt om sin Grav; alle er de uomskårne, sværdslagne; thi Rædsel for dem bredte sig i de levendes Land; nu bærer de deres Skændsel blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet; de lagdes blandt dræbte.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 Der er Mesjek og, Tubal med al deres larmende Hob rundt om deres Grave; alle er de uomskårne, sværdslagne; thi de spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land;
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 de kom ikke til at ligge hos Heltene, Fortidens Kæmper, som for til Dødsriget i deres Rustninger, hvis Sværd blev lagt under deres Hoveder, og hvis Skjolde dækkede deres knogler; thi Rædsel for Heltene rådede i de levendes Land. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
28 Også du skal ligge knust imellem de uomskårne, blandt de sværdslagne.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 Der er Edom med sine Konger og alle sine Fyrster, som fik deres Grave hos de sværdslagne; hos de uomskårne ligger de, hos dem, der steg ned i Dybet.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 Der er Nordens Herskere alle sammen og alle Zidoniere, som for ned til de dræbte, beskæmmede trods den Rædsel, de spredte ved deres Heltekraft; de ligger uomskårne blandt de sværdslagne, de bærer deres Skændsel blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 Dem ser Farao og trøster sig over al sin larmende Hob, lyder det fra HERREN.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 Thi han spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land, men nu ligger han imellem uomskårne, blandt de sværdslagne, Farao med al sin larmende Hob, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
