Ezekiel 32
1 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
I det tolvte år, i den tolvte måned, på den første dag i måneden, kom Herrens ord til mig, og det lød så:
2 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
Menneskesønn! Stem i en klagesang over Farao, Egyptens konge, og si til ham: En ung løve blandt folkene vilde du være lik, og så var du som sjøuhyret i havet, og du fór frem i dine elver og gjorde vannet grumset med dine føtter og gjorde dets strømmer mudret.
3 But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
Så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Derfor vil jeg utspenne mitt garn over dig ved skarer av mange folk, og de skal dra dig op i min not.
4 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
Jeg vil kaste dig på land og slenge dig bort på marken, og jeg vil la alle himmelens fugler slå ned på dig og dyrene på hele jorden mette sig med dig.
5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
Jeg vil kaste ditt kjøtt op på fjellene og fylle dalene med din store kropp.
6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
Jeg vil vanne landet med strømmer av ditt blod helt op til fjellene, og bekkeleiene skal fylles med dig.
7 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
Og når jeg utslukker dig, vil jeg tildekke himmelen og klæ dens stjerner i sort; solen vil jeg tildekke med skyer, og månen skal ikke la sitt lys skinne.
8 I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
Alle skinnende lys på himmelen vil jeg klæ i sort for din skyld, og jeg vil legge mørke over ditt land, sier Herren, Israels Gud.
9 And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
Jeg vil vekke sorg i mange folkeslags hjerter, når jeg lar tidenden om din undergang komme ut iblandt folkene, i land som du ikke kjenner.
10 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
Jeg vil gjøre mange folk forferdet over dig, og deres konger skal gyse av redsel over dig, når jeg svinger mitt sverd for deres åsyn, og de skal beve hvert øieblikk, hver for sitt liv, på den dag du faller.
11 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
For så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Babels konges sverd skal komme over dig.
12 I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
For kjempers sverd vil jeg la din larmende hop falle - de er alle sammen de grusomste blandt folkene; de skal ødelegge Egyptens stolthet, og hele dets larmende hop skal tilintetgjøres.
13 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
Jeg vil utrydde alt dets fe, som har beitet ved de mange vann, og ingen menneskefot skal mere gjøre dem grumset, og ingen klov skal mere gjøre dem grumset.
14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
Da vil jeg la deres vann synke og deres strømmer flyte bort som olje, sier Herren, Israels Gud,
15 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
når jeg gjør Egyptens land til en ørken, så landet ligger øde og tomt, når jeg slår ned alle dem som bor der; og de skal kjenne at jeg er Herren.
16 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
Dette er en klagesang, og den skal bli sunget, folkenes døtre skal synge den; over Egypten og hele dets larmende hop skal de synge den, sier Herren, Israels Gud.
17 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
I det tolvte år, på den femtende dag i måneden, kom Herrens ord til mig, og det lød så:
18 “You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
Menneskesønn! Syng en gravsang over Egyptens larmende hop og la den fare ned, den og herlige folkeslags døtre, til dødsrikets land, sammen med dem som farer ned i graven!
19 Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
Overgår du nogen i skjønnhet? Far ned og legg dig hos de uomskårne!
20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
Midt iblandt dem som er drept med sverdet, skal de falle; sverdet er gitt. Dra avsted med det og med alle dets skarer!
21 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
Kjempenes høvdinger taler midt ut fra dødsriket om ham og hans hjelpere: De har faret ned, de ligger der, de uomskårne, drept med sverdet. (Sheol h7585)
22 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Der er Assur og hele hans skare, rundt om ham er hans graver; alle sammen er drept, falt for sverdet;
23 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
hans graver er lagt i hulens dypeste bunn, og hans skare er rundt omkring hans grav; alle sammen er drept, falt for sverdet, de som utbredte redsel i de levendes land.
24 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
Der er Elam og hele hans larmende hop rundt omkring hans grav; alle sammen er drept, falt for sverdet, de som uomskårne fór ned til dødsrikets land, de som hadde utbredt redsel for sig i de levendes land og bar sin skam sammen med dem som farer ned i graven.
25 They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
Midt iblandt drepte menn er det redet et leie for ham med hele hans larmende hop, rundt omkring ham er hans graver; alle sammen er uomskårne, drept med sverdet, fordi redsel for dem var utbredt i de levendes land, og de bar sin skam sammen med dem som farer ned i graven; midt iblandt drepte menn blev han lagt.
26 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
Der er Mesek-Tubal og hele hans larmende hop, rundt omkring ham er hans graver; alle sammen er uomskårne, drept med sverdet, fordi de hadde utbredt redsel for sig i de levendes land.
27 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
Skulde de da ikke ligge hos kjemper, hos dem som er falt blandt de uomskårne, som fór ned til dødsriket med sine krigsvåben, og hvis sverd blev lagt under deres hoder, og hvis misgjerning tynget på deres ben, fordi det hadde vært redsel for kjempene i de levendes land? (Sheol h7585)
28 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Og du, midt iblandt uomskårne skal du bli knust og ligge hos dem som er drept med sverdet.
29 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
Dit er Edom kommet, hans konger og alle hans fyrster, som tross sitt velde er lagt hos dem som er drept med sverdet; de skal ligge hos uomskårne og hos dem som farer ned i graven.
30 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
Dit er Nordens fyrster kommet alle sammen, og alle sidonierne, som fór ned med de drepte og blev til skamme tross den redsel folk hadde hatt for dem for deres veldes skyld, og uomskårne fikk de sitt leie hos dem som var drept med sverdet, og de bar sin skam sammen med dem som farer ned i graven.
31 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Dem skal Farao se, og han skal trøste sig over hele sin larmende hop; drept med sverdet er Farao og hele hans hær, sier Herren, Israels Gud.
32 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
For jeg har utbredt redsel for ham i de levendes land, og han skal legges midt iblandt de uomskårne, hos dem som er drept med sverdet, Farao selv og hele hans larmende hop, sier Herren, Israels Gud.
