< Ezekiel 29 >

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
I det tiende Aar, i den tiende Maaned, paa den tolvte Dag i Maaneden kom Herrens Ord til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt—all of it.
Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Farao, Kongen af Ægypten, og spaa imod ham og imod al Ægypten.
3 Speak, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who has said, My flood [is] my own, And I have made it [for] myself.
Tal og sig: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod dig, Farao, Konge i Ægypten, du, som er den store Drage, der ligger midt i sine Strømme, og som siger: Min Strøm er min, og jeg har skabt mig den.
4 And I have put hooks in your jaws, And I have caused the fish of your floods to cleave to your scales, And I have caused you to come up from the midst of your floods, And every fish of your floods cleaves to your scales.
Men jeg vil kaste Kroge i dine Kæver og lade Fiskene i dine Strømme hænge ved dine Skæl, og jeg vil trække dig op midt af dine Strømme tillige med alle de Fisk i dine Strømme, der hænge ved dine Skæl.
5 And I have left you in the wilderness, You and every fish of your floods, You fall on the face of the field, You are not gathered nor assembled, I have given you for food to the beast of the earth and to the bird of the heavens.
Og jeg vil kaste dig ud i Ørken, dig og alle Fisk fra dine Strømme, paa Marken skal du falde hen, du skal ikke samles til Hobe og ej sankes op, jeg har givet dig til Dyrene i Landet og til Fuglene under Himmelen som Føde.
6 And all inhabitants of Egypt have known That I [am] YHWH, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
Og alle Ægyptens Indbyggere skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren. Fordi de have været Israels Hus en Rørkæp —
7 In their taking hold of you by your hand, You crush and have torn every shoulder of theirs, And in their leaning on you you are broken, And have caused all their thighs to stand.
naar de gribe din Haand, knækker du og splitter dem hver Skulder; og naar de støtte sig paa dig, sønderbrydes du og bringer dem alle Lænder til at vakle —
8 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in a sword against you, And have cut off man and beast from you.
derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg lader et Sværd komme over dig, og jeg vil udrydde Mennesker og Kvæg af dig.
9 And the land of Egypt has been for a desolation and a ruin, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it].
Og Ægyptens Land skal blive til Ødelæggelse og Øde; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren. Fordi han siger: Det er min Strøm, og jeg har skabt den:
10 Therefore, behold, I [am] against you, and against your floods, And have given the land of Egypt for ruins, A dry place, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And to the border of Cush.
Derfor se! vil jeg komme til dig og til dine Strømme og gøre Ægyptens Land til aldeles øde Ørkener, fra Migdol til Sy ene, og indtil Morlands Landemærke.
11 A foot of man does not pass over into it, Indeed, the foot of beast does not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.
Der skal ikke gaa Menneskefod igennem det, og Fæs Fod skal ikke gaa der igennem; og det skal ikke bebos i fyrretyve Aar.
12 And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste, Are a desolation [for] forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.
Og jeg vil gøre Ægyptens Land til et Øde midt iblandt de ødelagte Lande, og dets Stæder skulle blive øde midt iblandt de ødelagte Stæder, fyrretyve Aar; og jeg vil adsprede Ægypterne iblandt Folkene og strø dem ud i Landene.
13 But thus said Lord YHWH: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples to where they have been scattered,
Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar fyrretyve Aar ere til Ende, vil jeg samle Ægypterne hjem fra Folkene, hvorhen de vare adspredte.
14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been a low kingdom there.
Og jeg vil vende Ægyptens Fangenskab og føre dem tilbage til Pathros Land, til deres Stammeland, og de skulle der være et ringe Rige.
15 It is lowest of the kingdoms, And it does not lift itself up above the nations anymore, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.
Det skal være ringe fremfor andre Riger og ikke ophøje sig ydermere over Folkene; og jeg vil gøre dem ubetydelige, at de ikke skulle regere over Folkene.
16 And it is no longer for confidence to the house of Israel, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
Og det skal ikke ydermere være Israels Hus til Fortrøstning, saa at det bringer mig deres Synd i Erindring, naar disse vende sig om efter dem, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.
17 And it comes to pass, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Og det skete i det syv og tyvende Aar, i den første Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, at Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Has caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald—every shoulder peeled, And neither he, nor his force, had reward out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.
Du Menneskesøn! Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, har paalagt sin Krigshær et svart Arbejde imod Tyrus, saa at hvert Hoved er skaldet og hver Skulder opslidt, og Løn har han og hans Hær ikke faaet ud af Tyrus for det Arbejde, han har haft med den.
19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And he has taken away its store, And has taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it has been a reward to his force.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg giver Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, Ægyptens Land, og han skal tage dets Gods og bytte dets Bytte og røve dets Rov, og det skal være Løn for hans Hær.
20 I have given to him his wage for which he labored—The land of Egypt, in that they worked for Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Som hans Løn, for hvilken han har tjent imod den, har jeg givet ham Ægyptens Land; thi for mig have de tjent, siger den Herre, Herre.
21 In that day I cause a horn to shoot up for the house of Israel, And I give an opening to your mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
Paa den Dag vil jeg lade et Horn skyde op for Israels Hus, og dig vil jeg give en opladt Mund midt iblandt dem; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
