Ezekiel 30
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’
Du Menneskesøn! spaa og sig: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Hyler, ak, den Dag!
3 For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.
Thi nær er Dagen, ja, nær er Herrens Dag, en skyfuld Dag, den skal være Hedningernes Tid.
4 And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.
Og der skal komme et Sværd over Ægypten, og der skal komme en Forfærdelse over Morland, naar der falder ihjelslagne i Ægypten, og man tager dets Gods, og dets Grundvolde nedbrydes.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.
Morland og Put og Lud og den hele Blandingshob og Kub og Forbundslandets Sønner, de skulle falde tillige med dem for Sværdet.
6 Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
Saa siger Herren: De, som støtte Ægypten, skulle ogsaa falde, og dets Magts Stolthed skal synke; fra Migdol til Syene skulle de falde der ved Sværdet, siger den Herre, Herre.
7 And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.
Og de skulle ligge øde midt iblandt de ødelagte Lande, og dets Stæder skulle være midt iblandt de øde Stæder.
8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.
Og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg tænder en Ild i Ægypten, og alle dets Hjælpere knuses.
9 In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.
Paa den Dag skal der udgaa Sendebud fra mig paa Skibe til at forfærde Morland, som er trygt, og der skal være en Forfærdelse iblandt dem som paa Ægyptens Dag; thi se, det kommer!
10 Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.
Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ja, jeg vil gøre Ende paa Ægyptens Gods ved Nebukadnezars, Kongen af Babels, Haand.
11 He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.
Han og hans Folk med ham, de forfærdelige iblandt Folkene, ere førte ind for at ødelægge Landet; og de skulle drage deres Sværd imod Ægypten og fylde Landet med ihjelslagne.
12 And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.
Og jeg vil gøre Strømmene tørre og sælge Landet i de ondes Haand og ødelægge Landet og dets Fylde ved fremmedes Haand, jeg Herren, jeg har talt det.
13 Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.
Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ja, jeg vil tilintetgøre Afgudsbillederne og lade Afguderne forsvinde fra Nof, og der skal ikke ydermere være en Fyrste af Ægyptens Land, og jeg vil lægge en Frygt paa Ægyptens Land.
14 And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.
Og jeg vil ødelægge Patros og tænde en Ild i Zoan og holde Ret over No.
15 And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.
Og jeg vil udøse min Harme over Sin, Ægypternes Fæstning, og udrydde Mængden i No.
16 And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.
Og jeg vil tænde en Ild i Ægypten, Sin skal vaande sig i Smerte, og No skal blive til at søndersplittes, og Nof skal have Fjender ved højlys Dag.
17 The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.
De unge Karle i Aven og Pibeset skulle falde for Sværdet, og de selv skulle gaa i Fangenskab.
18 And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.
Og i Thakpankes formørkes Dagen, naar jeg der sønderbryder Ægyptens Aag, og dets Magts Stolthed der hører opf en Sky skal bedække det selv, og dets Døtre skulle gaa i Fangenskab.
19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Og jeg vil holde Ret over Ægypten, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
20 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Og det skete i det ellevte Aar, i den første Maaned, paa den syvende Dag i Maaneden, at Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.
Du Menneskesøn! jeg har sønderbrudt Faraos, Kongen af Ægyptens, Arm, og se, den bliver ikke forbunden, saa man anvender Lægedom og lægger Bind paa for at forbinde den for at gøre den stærk til at tage fat paa Sværdet.
22 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, og sønderbryder hans Arme, baade den stærke og den sønderbrudte, og jeg vil gøre, at Sværdet skal falde ud af hans Haand.
23 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
Og jeg vil adsprede Ægypterne iblandt Folkene, og jeg vil udstrø dem i Landene.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.
Men jeg vil styrke Kongen af Babels Arme og give ham mit Sværd i Haand; og jeg vil sønderbryde Faraos Arme, og han skal stønne for hans Ansigt, som den stønner, der er dødeligt saaret.
25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.
Og jeg vil styrke Kongen af Babels Arme, men Faraos Arme skulle synke; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg giver mit Sværd i Kongen af Babels Haand, og han udrækker det imod Ægyptens Land.
26 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Og jeg vil adsprede Ægypterne iblandt Folkene og bortstrø dem i Landene; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
