Ezekiel 39

1 Du, Menneskesøn, Profeter mod Gog og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN. Se, Jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal!

“You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

2 Jeg vender dig, leder dig og fører dig op fra det yderste Nord og bringer dig til Israels Bjerge.

I will turn you around, will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel.

3 Så slår jeg Buen ud af din venstre Hånd og lader Pilene falde ud af din højre.

I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.

4 På Israels Bjerge skal du falde, du og alle dine Hobe og Folkeslagene, der følger dig; jeg giver dig til Føde for alle Hånde Rovfugle og Markens vilde Dyr.

You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured.

5 I åben Mark skal du falde, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

You will fall on the open field, for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.

6 Og jeg sætter Ild på Magog og på de fjerne Strandes trygge Indbyggere; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

“I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

7 Mit hellige Navn kundgør jeg midt i mit Folk Israel, og jeg vil ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, den Hellige i Israel.

“‘“I will make my holy name known amongst my people Israel. I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

8 Se, det kommer, det skal ske, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; det er Dagen, jeg har talet om.

Behold, it comes, and it will be done,” says the Lord GOD. “This is the day about which I have spoken.

9 Så skal Indbyggerne i Israels Byer gå ud og gøre Ild på og tænde op med Rustninger, små og store Skjolde, Buer, Pile, Håndstave og Spyd; og de skal bruge det til at gøre Ild med i syv År.

“‘“Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years;

10 De skal ikke hente Træ i Marken eller hugge Brænde i Skovene, men gøre Ild på med Rustningerne. De skal plyndre dem, de plyndredes af, og hærge dem, de hærgedes af, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them,” says the Lord GOD.

11 Og på hin Dag giver jeg Gog et Gravsted i Israel, Vandringsmændenes dal østen for Havet, og den skal spærre Vejen for Vandringsmænd; der skal de jorde Gog og hele hans larmende Hob og kalde Stedet: Gogs larmende Hobs dal.

“‘“It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they will call it ‘The valley of Hamon Gog’.

12 Israels Hus skal have hele syv Måneder til at jorde dem og således rense Landet.

“‘“The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may cleanse the land.

13 Alt folket i Landet skal jorde dem, og det skal tjene til deres Ros, på den Dag jeg herliggør mig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified,” says the Lord GOD.

14 Man skal udvælge fast Mandskab til at drage Landet rundt og søge efter dem, der er blevet tilbage ud over Landet, for at rense det; når syv Måneder er gået, skal de skride til at søge;

“‘“They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will search.

15 og når de vandrer Landet rundt og en får Øje på Menneskeknogler, skal han sætte et Mærke derved, for at Graverne kan jorde dem i Gogs larmende Hobs Dal;

Those who search through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

16 også skal en By have Navnet Hamona". Således skal de rense Landet.

Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus they will cleanse the land.”’

17 Og du, Menneskesøn! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Sig til alle Fugle og alle Markens vilde Dyr: Saml eder og kom hid, kom sammen alle Vegne fra til mit Slagtoffer, som jeg slagter for eder, et vældigt Slagtoffer på Israels Bjerge; I skal æde Kød og drikke Blod!

“You, son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, “Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat and drink blood.

18 Kød af Helte skal I æde, Blod af Jordens Fyrster skal I drikke, Vædre, Får, Bukke og Tyre, alle fedet i Basan.

You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 I skal æde eder mætte i Fedt og drikke eder drukne i Blod af mit Slagtoffer, som jeg slagter for eder.

You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20 I skal mætte eder ved mit Bord med Køreheste og Rytterheste, Helte og alle Hånde Krigsfolk, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war,” says the Lord GOD.’

21 Jeg åbenbarer min Herlighed blandt Folkene, og alle Folkene skal skue den Dom, jeg fuldbyrder, og min Hånd, som jeg lægger på dem.

“I will set my glory amongst the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgement that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.

22 Israels Hus skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, er deres Gud fra hin Dag og fremdeles;

So the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God, from that day and forward.

23 og Folkene skal kende, at Israels Hus vandrede i Landflygtighed for deres Misgerningers Skyld, fordi de var troløse imod mig, så jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for dem og gav dem i deres Fjenders Hånd, hvorfor de alle faldt for Sværdet.

The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.

24 Efter deres Urenhed og deres Overtrædelser handlede jeg med dem og skjulte mit Åsyn for dem.

I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. I hid my face from them.

25 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN; Nu vil jeg vende Jakobs Skæbne, forbarme mig over alt Israels Hus og være nidkær for mit hellige Navn;

“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name.

26 og de skal glemme deres Skændsel og al den Troløshed, de viste mig, når de bor trygt i deres Land, uden at nogen skræmmer,

They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid

27 når jeg fører dem tilbage fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra deres Fjenders Lande og helliger mig på dem for mange Folks Øjne.

when I have brought them back from the peoples, gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy amongst them in the sight of many nations.

28 Og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN deres Gud, når jeg efter at have ført dem i Landflygtighed blandt Folkene samler dem i deres Land uden at lade nogen af dem blive tilbage derude

They will know that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity amongst the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more.

29 og ikke mere skjuler mit Åsyn for dem, da jeg har udgydt min Ånd over Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

I won’t hide my face from them any more, for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord GOD.”
