Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
I det tiende Aar, paa den tolvte Dag i den tiende Maaned kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall prophesy about him and about all of Egypt.
Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og profeter mod ham og hele Ægypten.
3 Speak, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great dragon, who rests in the midst of your rivers. And you say: ‘Mine is the river, and I have made myself.’
Tal og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Farao, Ægyptens Konge, du store drage, som ligger midt i dine Strømme, som siger: »Nilen er min, jeg skabte den selv!«
4 But I will place a bridle in your jaws. And I will adhere the fish of your rivers to your scales. And I will draw you out of the midst of your rivers, and all your fish will adhere to your scales.
Jeg sætter Kroge i Kæberne paa dig og lader dine Strømmes Fisk hænge ved dine Skæl og drager dig op af dine Strømme med alle deres Fisk, som hænger ved dine Skæl.
5 And I will cast you into the desert, with all the fish of your river. You will fall upon the surface of the earth; you will not be taken up, nor gathered together. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the air, to be devoured.
Jeg slænger dig hen i Ørkenen med alle dine Strømmes Fisk; paa aaben Mark skal du falde, ej samles op eller jordes; til Jordens Dyr og Himlens Fugle giver jeg dig som Føde.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. For you have been a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.
Og kende skal hver en Ægypter, at jeg er HERREN. Fordi du har været en Rørkæp for Israels Hus —
7 When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke, and so you wounded all of their shoulders. And when they leaned on you, you shattered, and so you injured all of their lower backs.
du splintredes, naar de greb om dig, og flænged dem hele Haanden; du brast, naar de støtted sig til dig, fik hver en Lænd til at vakle —
8 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead the sword over you, and I will destroy both man and beast from among you.
derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg bringer Sværd over dig og udrydder Folk og Fæ af dig;
9 And the land of Egypt will be a desert and a wilderness. And they shall know that I am the Lord. For you have said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it.’
Ægypten skal blive til Ørk og Øde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, fordi du sagde: »Nilen er min, jeg skabte den selv!«
10 Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt into a wilderness, destroyed by the sword from the tower of Syene all the way to the borders of Ethiopia.
Se, derfor kommer jeg over dig og dine Strømme og gør Ægypten til Øde og Ørk fra Migdol til Syene og Ætiopiens Grænse.
11 The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of cattle will not walk in it. And it will be uninhabited for forty years.
Hverken Mennesker eller Dyr skal sætte deres Fod der, ingen skal færdes der, og det skal ligge hen uden Indbyggere i fyrretyve Aar.
12 And I will set the land of Egypt in desolation, in the midst of desolate lands, and its cities in the midst of overturned cites. And they will be desolate for forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and I will disperse them among the lands.
Jeg gør Ægypten til en Ørk blandt øde Lande, og Byerne skal ligge øde hen blandt tilintetgjorte Byer i fyrretyve Aar; og jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.
13 For thus says the Lord God: After the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they had been scattered.
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Efter fyrretyve Aars Forløb vil jeg sanke Ægypterne sammen fra de Folkeslag, de er spredt iblandt,
14 And I will lead back the captivity of Egypt, and I will collect them in the land of Pathros, in the land of their nativity. And in that place, they will be a lowly kingdom.
og vende Ægyptens Skæbne og føre dem tilbage til Patros, det Land, de stammer fra, og der skal de blive et lille Rige.
15 It will be the lowest among the other kingdoms, and it will no longer be exalted above the nations. And I will diminish them, lest they rule over the Gentiles.
Det skal blive mindre end de andre Riger og ikke mere svinge sig op over Folkene; jeg gør dem faa i Tal, for at de ikke mere skal raade over Folkene.
16 And they will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, so that they may flee and follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
Og fremtidig skal de ikke være Israels Hus's Tillid og saaledes minde mig om dets Misgerning, naar det slutter sig til dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
17 And it happened that, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
I det syv og tyvende Aar paa den første Dag i den første Maaned kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has caused his army to serve with great servility against Tyre. Every head was shaven, and every shoulder was stripped of hair. And wages have not been paid to him, nor to his army, for Tyre, for the service by which he served for me against it.
Menneskesøn! Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel har ladet sin Hær udføre et stort Arbejde mod Tyrus; hvert Hoved er skaldet, hver Skulder flaaet, og hverken han eller Hæren fik Løn af Tyrus for det Arbejde, han udførte imod det.
19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will station Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, in the land of Egypt. And he will take its multitude, and he will prey upon its profits, and he will plunder its spoils. And this shall be the wages for his army
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Ægypten; han skal bortføre dets Rigdom, tage Bytte og røve Rov der; og det skal være hans Hærs Løn;
20 and for the work by which he has served against it. I have given to him the land of Egypt, because he has labored for me, says the Lord God.
som Vederlag for hans Arbejde giver jeg ham Ægypten, fordi de sled for mig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
21 In that day, a horn will spring forth for the house of Israel, and I will give to you an open mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Paa den Dag lader jeg et Horn vokse frem for Israels Hus, og dig giver jeg at aabne din Mund iblandt dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
