Ezekiel 23
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother,
Menneskesøn! Der var to Kvinder, Døtre af en og samme Moder.
3 and they played in Egypt, prostituting themselves from their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their virgin bosoms caressed.
De bolede i deres Ungdom i Ægypten: der krammedes deres Bryster, der krænkede man deres Jomfrubarm.
4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their identities, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
Den ældste hed Ohola, hendes Søster Oholiba. Og de blev mine og fødte Sønner og Døtre. Ohola er Samaria, Oholiba Jerusalem.
5 Oholah prostituted herself while she was still Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors
Men i Stedet for at holde sig til mig bolede Ohola og var i Brynde for sine Elskere, Assurs Sønner, der nærmede sig hende
6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all desirable young men, horsemen mounted on steeds.
klædt i Purpur, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd, Ryttere højt til Hest;
7 She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted.
og hun gav dem sin bolerske Elskov, alle Assurs ypperste Sønner, og alle Vegne, hvor hun kom i Brynde, gjorde hun sig uren ved deres Afgudsbilleder.
8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their lust upon her.
Men sin Bolen med Ægypterne opgav hun ikke, thi de hade ligget hos hende i hendes Ungdom; de havde skændet hendes Jomfrubarm og udøst deres bolerske Attraa over hende.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
Derfor gav jeg hende i hendes Elskeres, Assurs Sønners, Haand, for hvem hun var i Brynde;
10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and put her to the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgment against her.
og de blottede hendes Blusel, tog hendes Sønner og Døtre og dræbte hende selv med Sværd, saa hun fik Vanry blandt Kvinder; saaledes fuldbyrdede de Dommen over hende.
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.
Det saa hendes Søster Oholiba, og dog kom hun i endnu værre Brynde og bolede endnu værre end Søsteren.
12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in splendor, horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.
Hun kom i Brynde for Assurs Sønner, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, der nærmede sig hende herligt klædt, Ryttere højt til Hest, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd.
13 And I saw that she too had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
Og jeg saa, at hun blev uren; begge fulgte samme Vej.
14 But Oholibah carried her prostitution even further. She saw the men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion,
Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu; thi da hun saa Mænd afbildede paa Muren, Billeder af Kaldæere, malet med rødt,
15 wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
med Bælte om Lænd og nedhængende Hovedbind, alle at se til som Høvedsmænd, en Afbildning af Babels Sønner, hvis Hjemstavn Kaldæa er,
16 At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
saa kom hun i Brynde for dem, saa snart hun fik Øje paa dem, og hun sendte Bud til dem i Kaldæa:
17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. But after she had been defiled by them, she turned away in disgust.
Og Babels Sønner gik ind til hende, laa hos hende i Elskov og gjorde hende uren ved deres Bolen; og hun blev uren ved dem, til hun følte Lede ved dem.
18 When Oholibah openly prostituted herself and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.
Da hun havde aabenbaret sin bolerske Attraa og blottet sin Blusel, følte jeg Lede ved hende, som jeg var blevet led ved hendes Søster.
19 Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu, idet hun kom sin Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da hun havde bolet i Ægypten,
20 and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
og hun kom i Brynde ved dets Bolere, der havde Kød som Æsler og var gejle som Hingste;
21 So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.
og hun optog sin Ungdoms Skændsel, dengang Ægypterne krænkede hendes Jomfrubarm og krammede hendes unge Bryster,
22 Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—
Derfor, Oholiba, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg hidser dine Elskere paa dig, dem, du følte Lede ved, og fører dem mod dig fra alle Kanter,
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them—all desirable young men, governors and commanders, officers and men of renown, mounted on horses.
Babels Sønner og alle Kaldæerne, Pekod, Sjoa og Koa og med dem alle Assurs Sønner, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, Høvedsmænd og navnkundige Mænd, alle højt til Hest;
24 They will come against you with a host of peoples, with weapons, chariots, and wagons. They will array themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. I will delegate judgment to them, and they will punish you according to their own standards.
og de skal komme imod dig med en Vrimmel af Vogne og Hjul og en Hærskare af Folkeslag; store og smaa Skjolde og Hjelme skal de rette imod dig fra alle Kanter. Jeg overlader dem Dommen, og de skal dømme dig efter deres Ret.
25 And I will set My jealous rage against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your remnant will be consumed by fire.
Jeg retter min Nidkærhed imod dig, og de skal handle med dig i Vrede; din Næse og dine Ører skal de skære af, dit Afkom skal falde for Sværdet; de skal tage dine Sønner og Døtre, og dit Afkom skal fortæres af Ild;
26 They will strip off your clothes and take your fine jewelry.
de skal rive Klæderne af dig og tage alle dine Smykker;
27 So I will put an end to your indecency and prostitution, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’
jeg gør Ende paa din Skændsel og din Bolen, som du hengav dig til i Ægypten, og du skal ikke mere løfte dit Blik til dem eller komme Ægypten i Hu.
28 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you hate, from whom you turned away in disgust.
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver dig i deres Haand, som du hader og ledes ved;
29 They will treat you with hatred, take all for which you have worked, and leave you naked and bare, so that the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your indecency and promiscuity
de skal handle med dig i Had og tage alt dit Gods og efterlade dig nøgen og bar, saa din bolerske Blusel blottes.
30 have brought these things upon you, because you have prostituted yourself with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
Det kan du takke din Skændsel og din Bolen for, thi du bolede med Folkene og gjorde dig uren med deres Afgudsbilleder.
31 Because you have followed the path of your sister, I will put her cup into your hand.’
Du vandrede i din Søsters Spor; derfor giver jeg dig hendes Bæger i Haanden.
32 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, a cup deep and wide. It will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much.
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Du skal drikke af din Søsters Bæger, som er baade dybt og bredt; du skal blive til Latter og Spot; Bægeret rummer meget;
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and grief, with a cup of devastation and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
det er fuldt af Beruselse og Stønnen, et Bæger med Gru og Rædsel er din Søster Samarias Bæger.
34 You will drink it and drain it; you will dash it to pieces, and tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’
Du skal drikke det ud til sidste Draabe, gnave dets Skaar og sønderrive dine Bryster, saa sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
35 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your indecency and prostitution.’”
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du glemte mig og kastede mig bag din Ryg, skal du bære Følgen af din Skændsel og Bolen.
36 Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Ohola og Oholiba, saa forehold dem deres Vederstyggeligheder,
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to Me, in the fire as food for their idols.
at de horede og har Blod paa Hænderne; de horede med deres Afgudsbilleder, og til Føde for dem lod de Børnene, de fødte mig, gaa igennem Ilden.
38 They have also done this to Me: On that very same day, they defiled My sanctuary and profaned My Sabbaths.
Fremdeles har de gjort mig dette: De har gjort min Helligdom uren og vanhelliget mine Sabbater;
39 On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to profane it. Yes, they did this inside My house.
endog samme Dag de havde slagtet deres Børn til Afgudsbillederne, kom de til min Helligdom og vanhelligede den. Sandelig, saaledes gjorde de i mit Hus.
40 Furthermore, you sisters sent messengers for men who came from afar; and behold, when they arrived, you bathed for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
Ja, for Mænd, som kom langvejs fra, straks der var sendt dem Bud, badede du dig, sminkede du dine Øjne og tog dine Smykker paa;
41 You sat on a couch of luxury with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil,
og du satte dig paa et prægtigt Leje, og foran det dækkedes et Bord, paa hvilket du satte min Røgelse og min Olie.
42 accompanied by the sound of a carefree crowd. Drunkards were brought in from the desert along with men from the rabble, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
Og det ligefrem larmede hos Søstrene; saa mange Mænd kom der fra Ørkenen; og de lagde Spange om deres Arme og satte en herlig Krone paa deres Hoved.
43 Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’
Saa sagde jeg: Saaledes har de horet, paa Skøgevis har de bolet.
44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.
Man gik ind til dem som til en Skøge; saaledes gik man ind til Ohola og Oholiba og øvede Skændsel.
45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.
Uvildige Mænd skal dømme dem efter Ægteskabsbryderskers og Morderskers Ret; thi de horede og har Blod paa Hænderne.
46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: En Forsamling skal sammenkaldes imod dem, og de skal gives hen til at mishandles og udplyndres;
47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
Forsamlingen skal stene dem og hugge dem sønder og sammen med Sværd; deres Sønner og Døtre skal man dræbe, og deres Huse skal man brænde.
48 So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.
Jeg gør Ende paa Skændselen i Landet, og alle Kvinder skal lade sig advare derved og ikke efterligne eders Skændsel.
49 They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
Man skal lade eders Skændsel komme over eder, og I skal bære Følgen af de Synder, I gjorde med eders Afgudsbilleder; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
