Ezekiel 23
1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
Du Menneskesøn! der var to Kvinder, Døtre af een Moder,
3 They were acting like loose women in Egypt; when they were young their behaviour was loose: there their breasts were crushed, even the points of their young breasts were crushed.
og de bolede i Ægypten, i deres Ungdom bolede de; der trykkedes deres Bryster, og der befølte man deres jomfruelige Barm.
4 Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.
Og deres Navne vare: Ohola, den store, og Oholiba, hendes Søster; og de bleve mine og fødte Sønner og Døtre; og hvad deres Navne angaar, er Ohola Samaria, og Oholiba er Jerusalem.
5 And Oholah was untrue to me when she was mine; she was full of desire for her lovers, even for the Assyrians, her neighbours,
Og Ohola bolede og antog fremmede i mit Sted og brændte af Kærlighed til sine Bolere, til Assyrerne, som stode hende nær,
6 Who were clothed in blue, captains and rulers, all of them young men to be desired, horsemen seated on horses.
til dem, som vare klædte i blaat Purpur, Fyrster og Befalingsmænd, alle sammen yndige unge Karle, Ryttere, som rede paa Heste.
7 And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.
Og hun vendte sine bolerske Lyster til dem, til alle de udvalgte af Assurs Børn; og ved alle dem, til hvilke hun brændte af Kærlighed, ved alle deres Afguder besmittede hun sig.
8 And she has not given up her loose ways from the time when she was in Egypt; for when she was young they were her lovers, and by them her young breasts were crushed, and they let loose on her their unclean desire.
Og hun opgav ikke sit bolerske Væsen, som hun førte med sig fra Ægypten; thi de havde ligget hos hende i hendes Ungdom og havde befølt hendes jomfruelige Barm, og de havde udøst deres bolerske Lyster over hende.
9 For this cause I gave her up into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians on whom her desire was fixed.
Derfor gav jeg hende i hendes Boleres Haand, i Assurs Børns Haand, imod hvilke hun brændte af Kærlighed.
10 By these her shame was uncovered: they took her sons and daughters and put her to death with the sword: and she became a cause of wonder to women; for they gave her the punishment which was right.
De blottede hendes Blusel, borttoge hendes Sønner og hendes Døtre og ihjelsloge hende selv med Sværdet; og hun fik Navn iblandt Kvinderne, da man havde holdt Dom over hende.
11 And her sister Oholibah saw this, but her desire was even more unmeasured, and her loose behaviour was worse than that of her sister.
Der hendes Søster Oholiba saa det, da drev hun det værre med sin Elskov end den anden og med sin Bolen værre end hendes Søsters Bolen.
12 She was full of desire for the Assyrians, captains and rulers, her neighbours, clothed in blue, horsemen going on horses, all of them young men to be desired.
Hun brændte af Kærlighed til Assyriens Børn, til Fyrster og Befalingsmænd, som stode hende nær og vare klædte paa det pragtfuldeste, Ryttere, som rede paa Heste, alle sammen yndige unge Karle.
13 And I saw that she had become unclean; the two of them went the same way.
Og jeg saa, at hun var besmittet, de gik begge een Vej.
14 And her loose behaviour became worse; for she saw men pictured on a wall, pictures of the Chaldaeans painted in bright red,
Og hun drev sin Bolen end videre; der hun saa Mænd malede paa Væggen, Billeder af Kaldæer, malede med rødt,
15 With bands round their bodies and with head-dresses hanging round their heads, all of them looking like rulers, like the Babylonians, the land of whose birth is Chaldaea.
ombundne med Bælte om deres Lænder, med farvede Huer paa deres Hoveder, alle sammen af Anseelse som Høvedsmænd, efter Babels Børns Lignelse, hvis Fødeland er Kaldæa:
16 And when she saw them she was full of desire for them, and sent servants to them in Chaldaea.
Da brændte hun af Kærlighed til dem, saa snart hun saa dem med sine Øjne, og hun sendte Bud til dem til Kaldæa.
17 And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and made her unclean with their loose desire, and she became unclean with them, and her soul was turned from them.
Og Babels Børn kom til hende, til Elskovsleje, og de besmittede hende med deres Bolen, og hun besmittede sig ved dem; derefter vendte hendes Sjæl sig fra dem.
18 So her loose behaviour was clearly seen and her shame uncovered: then my soul was turned from her as it had been turned from her sister.
Og hun drev sin Bolen aabenbart og blottede sin Blusel; og min Sjæl vendte sig fra hende, ligesom min Sjæl havde vendt sig fra hendes Søster.
19 But still she went on the more with her loose behaviour, keeping in mind the early days when she had been a loose woman in the land of Egypt.
Dog udvidede hun sin bolerske Handel, idet hun kom sin Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da hun bolede i Ægyptens Land.
20 And she was full of desire for her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of asses and whose seed is like the seed of horses.
Og hun brændte af Kærlighed til deres Bolere, hvis Kød var som Aseners Kød, og hvis Brynde var som Hestes Brynde.
21 And she made the memory of the loose ways of her early years come back to mind, when her young breasts were crushed by the Egyptians.
Saa søgte du igen til din Ungdoms Skændsel, da de fra Ægypten befølte din Barm for din Ungdoms Brysters Skyld.
22 For this cause, O Oholibah, this is what the Lord has said: See, I will make your lovers come up against you, even those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust; and I will make them come up against you on every side;
Derfor, Oholiba! saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil opvække dine Bolere imod dig, dem, fra hvilke din Sjæl har vendt sig bort, og lade dem komme over dig trindt omkring fra:
23 The Babylonians and all the Chaldaeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: young men to be desired, captains and rulers all of them, and chiefs, her neighbours, all of them on horseback.
Babels Børn og alle Kaldæer, Pekod og Skoa og Koa, alle Assurs Børn med dem, yndige unge Karle, Fyrster og Befalingsmænd alle sammen, Høvedsmænd og ansete Mænd, som alle sammen ride paa Heste.
24 And they will come against you from the north on horseback, with war-carriages and a great band of peoples; they will put themselves in order against you with breastplate and body-cover and metal head-dress round about you: and I will make them your judges, and they will give their decision against you as seems right to them.
Og de skulle komme imod dig med Rustvogne, Vogne og Hjul og med en Skare af Folk med store Skjolde og smaa Skjolde og Hjelme; de skulle lejre sig imod dig trindt omkring; og jeg vil overgive dem Dommen, og de skulle dømme dig efter deres Ret.
25 And my bitter feeling will be working against you, and they will take you in hand with passion; they will take away your nose and your ears, and the rest of you will be put to the sword: they will take your sons and daughters, and the rest of you will be burned up in the fire.
Og jeg vil rette min Nidkærhed imod dig, at de skulle handle med dig i Grumhed, de skulle borttage din Næse og dine Øren, og hvad der bliver tilovers af dig, skal falde for Sværdet; de skulle tage dine Sønner og dine Døtre, og hvad der bliver tilovers af dig, skal fortæres med Ild.
26 And they will take all your clothing off you and take away your ornaments.
Og de skulle trække dine Klæder af dig og tage din Prydelses Tøj.
27 So I will put an end to your evil ways and your loose behaviour which came from the land of Egypt: and your eyes will never be lifted up to them again, and you will have no more memory of Egypt.
Saa vil jeg bringe din Skændsel til at høre op hos dig og din Bolen fra Ægyptens Land, og du skal ikke opløfte dine Øjne til dem og ikke ydermere komme Ægypten i Hu.
28 For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will give you up into the hands of those who are hated by you, into the hands of those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust:
Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg giver dig i deres Haand, som du hader, i deres Haand, som din Sjæl har vendt sig fra.
29 And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.
Og de skulle handle med dig i Had og tage alt dit Erhverv og forlade dig nøgen og bar; og din bolerske Blusel og din Skændsel og din Bolen skal blive aabenbar.
30 They will do these things to you because you have been untrue to me, and have gone after the nations, and have become unclean with their images.
Dette skal gøres imod dig, fordi du ved din Bolen er gaaet efter Hedningerne, fordi du besmittede dig ved deres Afguder.
31 You have gone in the way of your sister; and I will give her cup into your hand.
Du har gaaet paa din Søsters Vej, og jeg vil give hendes Bæger i din Haand.
32 This is what the Lord has said: You will take a drink from your sister's cup, which is deep and wide: you will be laughed at and looked down on, more than you are able to undergo.
Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Du skal drikke af din Søsters Bæger, som er dybt og vidt; det skal blive til Latter og til Spot, da det holder meget i sig.
33 You will be broken and full of sorrow, with the cup of wonder and destruction, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
Du skal fyldes af Beruselse og Bedrøvelse; Forskrækkelses og Ødelæggelses Bæger er din Søsters, Samarias, Bæger.
34 And after drinking it and draining it out, you will take the last drops of it to the end, pulling off your breasts: for I have said it, says the Lord.
Og du skal drikke og udsuge det, og sønderbryde Skaarene deraf og afrive dine Bryster; thi jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre.
35 So this is what the Lord has said: Because you have not kept me in your memory, and because your back has been turned to me, you will even undergo the punishment of your evil designs and your loose ways.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi du glemte mig og kastede mig bag din Ryg, saa bær du nu ogsaa din Skændsel og din Bolen.
36 Then the Lord said to me: Son of man, will you be the judge of Oholibah? then make clear to her the disgusting things she has done.
Og Herren sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! vil du dømme Ohola og Oholiba? forkynd dem dog deres Vederstyggeligheder;
37 For she has been false to me, and blood is on her hands, and with her images she has been untrue; and more than this, she made her sons, whom she had by me, go through the fire to them to be burned up.
thi de have bedrevet Hor, og der er Blod paa deres Hænder, og de have bedrevet Hor med deres Afguder; tilmed lode de deres Børn, som de havde født mig, gaa igennem Ilden for dem til at fortæres.
38 Further, this is what she has done to me: she has made my holy place unclean and has made my Sabbaths unclean.
Endnu dette have de gjort mig: De have besmittet min Helligdom paa den samme Dag og vanhelliget mine Sabbater.
39 For when she had made an offering of her children to her images, she came into my holy place to make it unclean; see, this is what she has done inside my house.
Og der de havde slagtet deres Børn for deres Afguder, da gik de samme Dag i min Helligdom til at vanhellige den; og se, saaledes have de gjort midt udi mit Hus.
40 And she even sent for men to come from far away, to whom a servant was sent, and they came: for whom she was washing her body and painting her eyes and making herself fair with ornaments.
Og de sendte ogsaa Bud efter Mænd, som kom langvejs fra; til hvilke der var sendt Bud, og se, de kom, for hvilke du badede dig, sminkede dine Øjne og prydede dig dejligt;
41 And she took her seat on a great bed, with a table put ready before it on which she put my perfume and my oil.
og du satte dig paa en herlig Seng, og der var et Bord dækket foran den, og du havde sat min Røgelse og min Olie derpaa.
42 ... and they put jewels on her hands and beautiful crowns on her head.
Og Lyden af Bulderet blev stille der, og til Mændene af Folkehoben bragtes Drankere fra Ørken, og de satte Armbaand paa deres Hænder og en dejlig Krone paa deres Hoveder.
43 Then I said ... now she will go on with her loose ways.
Og jeg sagde om hende, som var for gammel til Hor: Nu skal man til Gavns bole med hende, ja, med hende.
44 And they went in to her, as men go to a loose woman: so they went in to Oholibah, the loose woman.
Og man kom til hende, som man kommer til en bolersk Kvinde; saaledes kom de til Ohola og til Oholiba, de skændige Kvinder.
45 And upright men will be her judges, judging her as false wives and women who take lives are judged; because she has been untrue to me and blood is on her hands.
Og retfærdige Mænd, de skulle dømme dem, som Horkvinder dømmes, og som de Kvinder dømmes, der udøse Blod; thi de ere Horkvinder, og der er Blod paa deres Hænder.
46 For this is what the Lord has said: I will make a great meeting of the people come together against her, and will send on her shaking fear and take everything from her.
Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg fører en Forsamling op imod dem og giver dem hen til Ustadighed og til Rov,
47 And the meeting, after stoning her with stones, will put an end to her with their swords; they will put her sons and daughters to death and have her house burned up with fire.
og de forsamlede skulle stene dem med Stene og sønderhugge dem med deres Sværd; de skulle ihjelslaa deres Sønner og deres Døtre og opbrænde deres Huse med Ild.
48 And I will put an end to evil in all the land, teaching all women not to do as you have done.
Og jeg vil udrydde Skændsel af Landet, og alle Kvinder skulle lade sig advare, at de ikke gøre efter eders Skændsel.
49 And I will send on you the punishment of your evil ways, and you will be rewarded for your sins with your images: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Og de skulle lægge eders Skændsel paa eder, og I skulle bære Synderne, I begik med eders Afguder, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.
