< 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,
So hende i det tolvte året, den fyrste dagen i tolvte månaden, at Herrens ord kom til meg; han sagde:
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.
Menneskjeson! Set i med ein syrgjesong yver Farao, egyptarkongen, og seg til honom: Ei ungløva millom folki vilde du vera lik, og so var du som draken i havet, og du for fram i elvarne dine, og grugga upp vatnet med føterne dine og rota upp straumarne.
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.
So segjer Herren, Herren: Eg vil då breida ut garnet mitt yver deg i ei samling av mange folkeslag, og dei skal draga deg upp med noti mi.
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.
Eg vil kasta deg upp på land og burt på marki vil eg slengja deg, og eg vil gjeva alle himmelens fuglar tilhelde på deg og lata dyri på heile jordi metta seg med deg.
5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
Eg vil kasta kjøtet ditt upp på fjelli og fylla dalarne med den store skrotten din.
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.
Og eg vil vatna landet som du sym i med blodet ditt, heilt upp til fjelli, og bekkjefari skal verta fulle av deg.
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 let deg slokna, vil eg breida yver himmelen og klæda hans stjernor i svart, yver soli vil eg breida skyer, og månen skal ikkje skina med sitt skin.
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 skinande himmelljos vil eg klæda i svart for di skuld, og eg vil leggja myrker på landet ditt, segjer Herren, Herren.
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.
Og eg vil lata mange folkeslag gremmast i hjarta, når eg gjer tjonet på deg kunnigt millom folki i land som du ikkje 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.”
Eg vil gjera mange folkeslag forfærde yver deg, og deira kongar skal rysja i holdet yver deg, når eg svingar mitt sverd framfor augo deira, og dei skal bivra kvar augneblink, kvar og ein for sitt liv, den dagen du fell.
11 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
For so segjer Herren, Herren: Sverdet åt Babel-kongen skal koma yver deg.
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.
Di ståkande hop vil eg lata falla for sverdi at kjempor, valdsmenner millom folki alle saman. Og dei skal tyna Egyptarlands ovmod, og all den ståkande hopen skal verta øydd.
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.
Og eg vil rydja ut alt feet frå dei mange vatni, og ingen manns fot skal heretter grugga deim, og ingi ku-klauv skal grugga deim.
14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
Då vil eg lata vatni deira minka og løkjerne deira renna som olje, segjer Herren, Herren,
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 eg legg Egyptarlandet i øyde og audn - eit tomt land, av di eg slær ned alle som i det bur. Og dei skal sanna at eg 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.”
Ein syrgjesong er dette, og syngja honom skal dei, folke-døtterne skal syngja honom; um Egyptarland med si ståkande mengd skal dei kveda det, segjer Herren, Herren.
17 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
So hende det i det tolvte året, den femtande dagen i månaden, at Herrens ord kom til meg; han sagde:
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.
Menneskjeson! Barma deg yver Egyptarlands ståkande mengd og send henne ned, henne og døtterne åt herlege folkeslag, til nedheimen med deim som fer i gravi.
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.
Kven gjeng du no framum i vænleik? Far ned og få deg læger millom u-umskorne.
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.
Ibland sverdslegne menner skal dei falla. Sverdet er gjeve; drag henne burt og heile hennar ståkande mengd!
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 )
Velduge millom kjempor skal tala um honom og hans hjelpesmenner midt utor helheimen: «Ned er dei farne, der ligg dei, dei u-umskorne, slegne i hel med sverd.» (Sheol )
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 heile hans lyd, rundt kringum honom er hans graver; alle er dei slegne i hel, falne for sverd.
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.
Han fekk sine graver inst inni hola, og hans lyd er rundt kringum hans graver; alle er dei slegne i hel, falne for sverd, dei som breidde ut skræmsla i landet åt dei livande.
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 heile hans ståkande mengd, rundt kringum hans graver; alle er dei slegne i hel, falne for sverd, dei som u-umskorne for ned til nedheimen, dei som breidde ut skræmsla i landet åt dei livande, og bar si skam med deim som fer ned i gravi.
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 imillom drepne menner gav dei honom læger med heile hans ståkande mengd, rundt ikringum honom er hans graver. Alle er dei u-umskorne, slegne i hel med sverd, di at dei breidde ut skræmsla i landet åt dei livande, og dei bar si skam med deim som for ned i gravi; midt imillom drepne menner vart han lagd.
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 heile hans ståkande mengd, rundt kringum honom er hans graver. Alle er dei u-umskorne, slegne i hel med sverd, di at dei breidde ut skræmsla i landet åt dei livande.
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 )
Skulde dei då ikkje liggja hjå kjempor, hjå dei falne av dei u-umskorne, som for ned i helheimen med sin stridsbunad og fekk sverdi sine lagde under sine hovud, og misgjerningarne sine yver sine bein, for dei hadde vore ei skræmsla for kjempor i landet åt dei livande? (Sheol )
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 ibland u-umskorne skal du verta krasa, og du skal liggja hjå deim som er slegne i hel med sverd.
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.
Der er Edom med sine kongar og alle sine fyrstar, som, med alt sitt velde, er lagde hjå deim som er slegne i hel med sverd. Dei skal liggja hjå dei u-umskorne, og hjå deim som fer ned i gravi.
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.
Der er fyrstarne frå Norderland alle saman, og alle Sidon-buarne som for ned med drepne menner og vart til skammar, endå dei i sitt velde hadde vore til skræmsla, og u-umskorne fekk dei læger hjå dei som var slegne i hel med sverd. Og dei bar si skam med deim som fer ned i gravi.
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.
Deim skal Farao sjå, og huggast yver all si ståkande mengd. Slegne i hel med sverd er Farao og heile hans her, segjer Herren, Herren.
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 eg breidde ut rædsla for honom i landet åt dei livande. Og han skal verta lagd hjå dei u-umskorne, med deim som er slegne i hel med sverd, Farao og all hans ståkande mengd, segjer Herren, Herren.
