Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;
Menneskesøn! Der var to Kvinder, Døtre af en og samme Moder.
3 And they played the harlot in Egypt; in their youth they played the harlot: there were their breasts pressed, and there they suffered their virgin bosoms to be touched.
De bolede i deres Ungdom i Ægypten: der krammedes deres Bryster, der krænkede man deres Jomfrubarm.
4 And their names were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister; but they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters: and their names are, Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem, Aholibah.
Den ældste hed Ohola, hendes Søster Oholiba. Og de blev mine og fødte Sønner og Døtre. Ohola er Samaria, Oholiba Jerusalem.
5 And Aholah played the harlot while she was mine; and she longed for her lovers, for the Assyrians that were near [her],
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 [as they were] in blue, governors, and rulers, attractive youths all of them, horsemen riding upon horses.
klædt i Purpur, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd, Ryttere højt til Hest;
7 Thus she played the harlot with them, all of them the chosen ones of the sons of Asshur: and with all for whom she longed, —with all their idols did she defile herself.
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 But also her lewdness from Egypt forsook she not; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had touched her virgin bosom, and had lavished their lewd caresses on 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 did I give her up into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the sons of Asshur, after whom she longed.
Derfor gav jeg hende i hendes Elskeres, Assurs Sønners, Haand, for hvem hun var i Brynde;
10 These were they that laid open her nakedness; her sons and her daughters did they take away, and her they slew with the sword: and she became infamous among women, when they inflicted the decreed punishments on 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 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her longing than she, and in her lewd acts more than her sister's lewdness.
Det saa hendes Søster Oholiba, og dog kom hun i endnu værre Brynde og bolede endnu værre end Søsteren.
12 For the sons of Asshur did she long, the governors and rulers that were near, clothed as they were most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, attractive youths all of them.
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 Then saw I that she was defiled, that they followed both one way.
Og jeg saa, at hun blev uren; begge fulgte samme Vej.
14 But she added still more to her acts of lewdness; for when she saw men engraved upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with color,
Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu; thi da hun saa Mænd afbildede paa Muren, Billeder af Kaldæere, malet med rødt,
15 Bound with girdles on their loins, with hanging down colored turbans on their heads, in appearance like commanders, all of them, in the likeness of the sons of Babylon of the Chaldeans, 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 Then did she long for them as soon as she saw them with her eyes, and she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.
saa kom hun i Brynde for dem, saa snart hun fik Øje paa dem, og hun sendte Bud til dem i Kaldæa:
17 And the sons of Babylon came to her unto the couch of love, and they defiled her with their lewd caresses; and [yet] when she had been defiled with them, she tore her soul away from them.
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 And when she had laid open her lewdness, and had uncovered her nakedness: then my soul tore itself away from her, as my soul had torn itself 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 deeds of lewdness, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot 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 she longed for her paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose lustfulness is like the lustfulness of horses.
og hun kom i Brynde ved dets Bolere, der havde Kød som Æsler og var gejle som Hingste;
21 And thou calledst to mind the incest of thy youth, when thy bosom was touched by the Egyptians for the sake of thy youthful breasts.
og hun optog sin Ungdoms Skændsel, dengang Ægypterne krænkede hendes Jomfrubarm og krammede hendes unge Bryster,
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will wake up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul hath torn itself away, and I will bring them against thee 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 sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa and Koa, and all the sons of Asshur with them, attractive youths, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and chiefs, riding upon horses all of them.
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 And they shall come over thee with weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, buckler and shield and helmet shall they set up against thee round about: and I will give up before them the right to judge, and they shall judge thee according to their ordinances.
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 zealousness against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; thy nose and thy ears shall they cut off; and what is left of thee shall fall by the sword: thy sons and thy daughters shall they take away; and what is left of thee shall be devoured by the 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 And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy ornamental attire.
de skal rive Klæderne af dig og tage alle dine Smykker;
27 Thus will I make thy incest to cease from thee, and thy lewdness brought from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thy eyes unto them, and Egypt shalt thou not remember any more.
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 thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will give thee up into the hand of those whom thou hatest, into the hand of those from whom thy soul hath torn itself away;
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver dig i deres Haand, som du hader og ledes ved;
29 And they shall deal with thee in hate, and shall take away all [things acquired by] thy labor, and they shall leave thee naked and bare: and thus shall be uncovered the nakedness of thy lewdness, and thy incest and thy lewd deeds.
de skal handle med dig i Had og tage alt dit Gods og efterlade dig nøgen og bar, saa din bolerske Blusel blottes.
30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone with vile lust after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself 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 On the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I place her cup into thy hand.
Du vandrede i din Søsters Spor; derfor giver jeg dig hendes Bæger i Haanden.
32 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The cup of thy sister shalt thou drink, the deep and wide one: thou shalt become to be laughed to scorn and to be held in derision, more than thou canst bear.
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 With drunkenness and sorrow shalt thou be filled, [out of] the cup of astonishment and confusion, the cup of thy sister Samaria.
det er fuldt af Beruselse og Stønnen, et Bæger med Gru og Rædsel er din Søster Samarias Bæger.
34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt break in pieces its fragments, and tear thy own breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back: therefore bear thou also thy incest and thy acts of lewdness.
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 The Lord said moreover unto me, Son of man, wilt thou call Aholah and Aholibah to account? then tell them of their abominations;
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Ohola og Oholiba, saa forehold dem deres Vederstyggeligheder,
37 That they have committed adultery, and there is blood on their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and also their sons whom they had born unto me have they caused to pass for them through [the fire], to devour them.
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 Moreover this have they done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and my sabbaths have they profaned.
Fremdeles har de gjort mig dette: De har gjort min Helligdom uren og vanhelliget mine Sabbater;
39 And when they had slain their children to their idols, then came they into my sanctuary on the same day to profane it: and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of 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 And farthermore yet, because they sent for men who were to come from afar, unto whom messengers were sent; and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst bathe thyself, paint thy eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;
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 And thou didst sit upon a stately bed, with a table spread before it, and my incense and my oil didst thou set upon it.
og du satte dig paa et prægtigt Leje, og foran det dækkedes et Bord, paa hvilket du satte min Røgelse og min Olie.
42 And the shout of a peaceful joyous multitude was [heard] within her; and with the men of the masses of the common people were brought Sabeans from the wilderness; and these women placed bracelets on their hands, and crowns of glory upon their heads.
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 thought I of her that was worn out in adulteries, Will they now [still] commit lewdness with her, when she [is thus]?
Saa sagde jeg: Saaledes har de horet, paa Skøgevis har de bolet.
44 But men went in unto her, as they go in unto a faithless wife: thus went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the incestuous women.
Man gik ind til dem som til en Skøge; saaledes gik man ind til Ohola og Oholiba og øvede Skændsel.
45 Righteous men, however—these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because adulteresses are they, and blood is on their hands.
Uvildige Mænd skal dømme dem efter Ægteskabsbryderskers og Morderskers Ret; thi de horede og har Blod paa Hænderne.
46 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will bring up against them an assemblage of men, and I will give them up to ill-usage 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 And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and cut them down with their swords: their sons and their daughters shall they slay, and their houses shall they burn with fire.
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 Thus will I cause incest to cease out of the land, that all women may be warned by example, and not do after your incestuous course.
Jeg gør Ende paa Skændselen i Landet, og alle Kvinder skal lade sig advare derved og ikke efterligne eders Skændsel.
49 And they shall lay your incest upon you, and the sins of your idols shall ye bear: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
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.
