< Ezekiel 16 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
Menneskesøn, forehold Jerusalem dets Vederstyggeligheder
3 And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.
og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Jerusalem: Dit Udspring og din Oprindelse var i Kana'anæernes Land; din Fader var Amorit, din Moder Hetiterinde.
4 As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.
Og ved din Fødsel gik det saaledes til: Da du fødtes, blev din Navlestreng ikke skaaret over, ej heller blev du tvættet ren med Vand eller gnedet med Salt eller lagt i Svøb.
5 No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.
Ingen saa paa dig med saa megen Medynk, at han af Medlidenhed gjorde nogen af disse Ting for dig, men du henslængtes paa Marken, den Dag du fødtes; saaledes væmmedes man ved din Sjæl.
6 And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;
Men jeg kom forbi, og da jeg saa dig sprælle i Blod, sagde jeg til dig, som du laa der i Blodet: »Du skal leve
7 And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.
og vokse som en Urt paa Marken!« Og du voksede, blev stor og traadte ind i din Skønheds Fylde; dine Bryster blev faste, og dit Haar voksede; men du var nøgen og bar.
8 Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
Saa kom jeg forbi og saa dig, og se, din Tid var inde, din Elskovstid; og jeg bredte min Kappeflig over dig og tilhyllede din Blusel; saa tilsvor jeg dig Troskab og indgik Pagt med dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, og du blev min.
9 Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
Saa tvættede jeg dig med Vand, skyllede Blodet af dig og salvede dig med Olie;
10 And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
jeg klædte dig i broget vævede Klæder, gav dig Sko af Tahasjskind paa, bandt Byssusklæde om dit Hoved og hyllede dig i Silke;
11 And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
jeg smykkede dig, lagde Spange om dine Arme og Kæde om din Hals,
12 And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
fæstede en Ring i din Næse, kugler i dine Ører og en herlig Krone paa dit Hoved;
13 So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.
du smykkedes med Guld og Sølv, din Klædning var Byssus, Silke og broget vævede Klæder; fint Hvedemel, Honning og Olie var din Mad, og du blev saare dejlig og drev det til at blive Dronning.
14 You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.
Dit Ry kom ud blandt Folkene for din Dejligheds Skyld; thi den var fuldendt ved de Smykker, jeg udstyrede dig med, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.
Men du stolede paa din Dejlighed og bolede i Kraft af dit Ry; du udøste din bolerske Attraa over enhver, som kom forbi; du blev hans.
16 And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.
Af dine Klæder tog du og gjorde dig spraglede Offerhøje og bolede paa dem ... .
17 And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;
Du tog dine Smykker af mit Guld og Sølv, som jeg havde givet dig, og gjorde dig Mandsbilleder og bolede med dem.
18 And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
Du tog dine broget vævede Klæder og hyllede dem deri, og min Olie og Røgelse satte du for dem.
19 And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.
Brødet, som jeg havde givet dig — fint Hvedemel, Olie og Honning gav jeg dig at spise — satte du for dem til en liflig Duft, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
20 And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,
Og du tog dine Sønner og Døtre, som du havde født mig, og slagtede dem til Føde for dem. Var det ikke nok med din Bolen,
21 That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
siden du slagtede mine Sønner og gav dem hen, idet du indviede dem til dem?
22 And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.
Og under alle dine Vederstyggeligheder og din Bolen kom du ikke din Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da du var nøgen og bar og laa og sprællede i Blod.
23 And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
Og efter al denne din Ondskab — ve dig, ve! lyder det fra den Herre HERREN —
24 That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
byggede du dig en Alterfod og gjorde dig en Offerhøj paa alle Torve.
25 You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.
Ved hvert Gadehjørne byggede du dig en Offerhøj og vanærede din Dejlighed; du spredte Benene for enhver, som kom forbi, og drev din Bolen vidt.
26 And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
Du bolede med Ægypterne, dine sværlemmede Naboer, og drev din Bolen vidt og krænkede mig.
27 Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.
Men se, jeg udrakte min Haand imod dig og unddrog dig, hvad der tilkom dig, og jeg gav dig dine Fjender Filisterindernes Gridskhed i Vold, de, som skammede sig over din utugtige Færd.
28 And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.
Siden bolede du med Assyrerne, umættelig som du var; du bolede med dem, men blev endda ikke mæt.
29 And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
Saa udstrakte du din Bolen til Kræmmerlandet, Kaldæernes Land, men blev endda ikke mæt.
30 How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
Hvor vansmægtede dog dit Hjerte, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, da du gjorde alt dette, som kun en arg Skøge kan gøre,
31 For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.
da du byggede dig en Alterfod ved hvert Gadehjørne og gjorde dig en Offerhøj paa hvert Torv. Men du lignede ikke Skøgen i at samle Skøgeløn;
32 The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
hvilken Horkvinde, der tager fremmede i sin Mands Sted! —
33 They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.
ellers giver man Skøgen en Gave, men du gav alle dine Elskere Gaver og købte dem til at komme til dig rundt om fra og bole med dig.
34 And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.
Hos dig var det modsat af, hvad Tilfældet ellers er med Kvinder; ingen løb efter dig for at bole, men du gav Skøgeløn og fik selv ingen; det var det modsatte.
35 For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
Derfor, du Skøge, hør HERRENS Ord!
36 This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi din Skam ødtes bort og din Blusel blottedes for dine Elskere ved din Boler, derfor og for alle dine vederstyggelige Afgudsbilleders Skyld og for dine Sønners Blods Skyld, som du gav dem,
37 For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.
se, derfor vil jeg samle alle dine Elskere, hvem du var til Glæde, baade alle dem, du elskede, og alle dem, du hadede; jeg vil samle dem imod dig trindt om fra og blotte din Blusel for dem, saa de ser den helt.
38 And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.
Jeg vil dømme dig efter Horkvinders og Morderskers Ret og lade Vrede og Nidkærhed ramme dig.
39 I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.
Jeg giver dig i deres Haand, og de skal nedbryde din Alterfod, ødelægge dine Offerhøje, rive Klæderne af dig, tage dine Smykker og lade dig staa nøgen og bar.
40 And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
De skal sammenkalde en Forsamling imod dig, stene dig og med deres Sværd hugge dig sønder og sammen;
41 And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.
de skal sætte Ild paa dine Huse og fuldbyrde Dommen over dig i mange Kvinders Paasyn. Jeg gør Ende paa din Bolen, og du skal ikke mere komme til at give Skøgeløn.
42 And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.
Jeg stiller min Vrede paa dig, til min Nidkærhed viger fra dig, saa jeg faar Ro og ikke mere er krænket.
43 Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.
Fordi du ikke kom dine Ungdoms Dage i Hu, men vakte min Vrede ved alt dette, se, derfor vil jeg gøre Gengæld og lade din Færd komme over dit Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN. Du skal ikke vedblive at føje Skændsel til alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.
44 See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
Se, enhver, som ynder Ordsprog, skal bruge det Ordsprog om dig: »Som Moder saa Datter!«
45 You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
Du er din Moders Datter, hun lededes ved sin Mand og sine Børn; og du er dine Søstres Søster, de lededes ved deres Mænd og Børn. Eders Moder var Hetiterinde, eders Fader Amorit.
46 Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Din store Søster var Samaria og hendes Døtre norden for dig, og din lille Søster sønden for dig var Sodoma og hendes Døtre.
47 Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.
Paa deres Veje vandrede du ikke, og Vederstyggeligheder som deres øvede du ikke; kun en liden Stund, saa handlede du endnu værre end de paa alle dine Veje.
48 By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERRE, din Søster Sodoma og hendes Døtre handlede ikke som du og dine Døtre!
49 Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.
Se, din Søster Sodomas Brøde var Overmod; Brød i Overflod og sorgløs Tryghed blev hende og hendes Døtre til Del, men de rakte ikke den arme og fattige en hjælpende Haand;
50 They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
de blev hovmodige og øvede Vederstyggelighed for mine Øjne; derfor stødte jeg dem bort, saa snart jeg saa det.
51 And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.
Heller ikke Samaria syndede halvt saa meget som du! Du har øvet flere Vederstyggeligheder end de og retfærdiggjort dine Søstre ved alle de Vederstyggeligheder, du øvede.
52 And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.
Saa bær da ogsaa du din Skændsel, du, som har skaffet dine Søstre Oprejsning; da dine Synder er vederstyggeligere end deres, staar de retfærdigere end du; saa skam da ogsaa du dig og bær din Skændsel, fordi du har retfærdiggjort dine Søstre.
53 And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.
Og jeg vil vende deres Skæbne, Sodomas og hendes Døtres og Samarias og hendes Døtres, og jeg vil vende din Skæbne midt iblandt dem,
54 So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
for at du kan bære din Skændsel og blues ved alt, hvad du har gjort, idet du derved skaffede dem en Trøst.
55 And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.
Dine Søstre Sodoma og hendes Døtre og Samaria og hendes Døtre skal blive, hvad de fordum var, og du og dine Døtre, hvad I fordum var.
56 Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
Din Søster Sodomas Navn tog du ikke i din Mund i dit Overmods Dage,
57 Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.
da din Blusel endnu ikke var blottet som nu, du Spot for Edoms Kvinder, og alle Kvinder deromkring og for Filisternes Kvinder, som haanede dig fra alle Sider!
58 The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
Du maa bære din Skændsel og dine Vederstyggeligheder, lyder det fra HERREN.
59 For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.
Ja, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør med dig, som du har gjort, du, som lod haant om Eden og brød Pagten.
60 But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.
Men jeg vil ihukomme min Pagt med dig i din Ungdoms Dage og oprette en evig Pagt med dig.
61 Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.
Og du skal komme dine Veje i Hu og blues, naar jeg tager dine Søstre, baade dem, der er større, og dem, der er mindre end du, og giver dig dem til Døtre, men ikke fordi du var tro i Pagten.
62 And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
Jeg opretter min Pagt med dig, og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN,
63 So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
for at du skal komme det i Hu med Skam og ikke mere kunne aabne din Mund, fordi du blues, naar jeg tilgiver dig alt, hvad du har gjort, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
