Ezekiel 38
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
2 “You human, turn and face Magog, the country where Gog [is the king]. He is [also] the ruler of [the nations of] Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy about [the terrible things that will happen to] him,
Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Gog i Magogs Land, Fyrsten over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal, og profeter imod ham
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal.
4 [It will be as though] I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you [to Israel]—you and all of your army, [including your] horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
Jeg vender dig og sætter Kroge i dine Kæber og trækker dig frem med hele din Hær, Heste og Ryttere, alle i smukke Klæder, en vældig Skare med store og små Skjolde, alle med Sværd i Hånd.
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
Persere, Ætiopere og Putæere er med dem, alle med Skjold og Hjelm,
6 An army from Gomer [north of Israel] will come, and an army from Togarmah far north [of Israel] will come. Armies of many nations will accompany you.’
Gomer med alle dets Hobe, Togarmas Hus fra det yderste Nord med alle dets Hobe, mange Folkeslag er med.
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
Rust dig og hold dig rede med hele din Skare, som er samlet om dig, og vær mig rede til Tjeneste.
8 At some future time, I will command you to lead those armies to attack [Israel], a country whose [buildings] have been rebuilt after [they were destroyed in] wars. Their people will have been brought back from many nations [to live again] on the hills of Israel, which had been deserted for a long time. They had been brought back from [other] nations and will be living peacefully.
Lang Tid herefter skal der komme Bud efter dig; ved Årenes Fjende skal du overfalde et Land, som atter er unddraget Sværdet, et Folk, som fra mange Folkeslag er sanket sammen på Israels Bjerge, der stadig lå øde hen, et Folk, som er ført bort fra Folkeslagene og nu bor trygt til Hobe.
9 You and all those armies from many nations will go up to Israel, advancing like [SIM] a big storm. Your army will be like a huge cloud that covers the land.
Du skal trække op som et Uvejr og komme som en Sky og oversvømme Landet, du og alle dine Hobe og de mange Folkeslag, som følger dig.
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
Så siger den Herre HERREN: På hin Dag skal en Tanke stige op i dit Hjerte, og du skal oplægge onde Råd
11 You will say [to yourself], “My [army] will invade a country where the villages do not have walls around them. We will attack people who are peaceful and do not suspect/think [that they will be attacked]. Their towns and villages do not have walls with gates and bars.
og sige: "Jeg vil drage op imod et åbent Land og overfalde fredelige Folk, som bor trygt, som alle bor uden Mure og hverken har Portstænger eller Porte,
12 So [it will be easy for] us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries [where they had lived for many years], people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, [that they think is] [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
for at gøre Bytte og røve Rov, lægge Hånd på genopbyggede ruiner og på et Folk, der er indsamlet fra Folkene og vinder sig Fæ og Gods, og som bor på Jordens Navle."
13 [Then people of] Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and nearby villages will come and say to you, “Are you gathering all your soldiers in order to [attack Israel and] take away all their silver and gold? [Do you plan] to take away their livestock and all their other valuable possessions [DOU]?”’
Sabæerne og Dedaniterne, Tarsiss Købmænd og alle dets Handelsfolk skal sige til dig: "Kommer du for at gøre Bytte, har du samlet din Skare for at røve Rov, for at bortføre Sølv og Guld, rane Fæ og Gods og gøre et vældigt Bytte?"
14 Therefore, you human, prophesy about Gog and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: At that time, when my people of Israel are living safely, you will certainly think about that.
Profeter derfor, Menneskesøn, og sig til Gog: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, på hin Dag skal du bryde op, medens mit Folk Israel bor trygt,
15 So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
og komme fra din Hjemstavn yderst i Nord, du og de mange Folkeslag, der følger dig, alle til Hest, en stor Skare, en vældig Hær;
16 You will march toward my Israeli people, and [your soldiers] will cover the land like a huge cloud. Gog, I will bring your army to attack the country that belongs to me, but [what I do] for you will show the people of other nations that I am holy.
som en Sky skal du drage op mod mit Folk Israel og oversvømme Landet. I de sidste Dage skal det ske; jeg fører dig imod mit Land; og Folkene skal kende mig, når jeg for deres Øjne helliger mig på dig, Gog.
17 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to Gog: In past years, when I gave messages to my servants, the prophets [in Israel], there were messages [RHQ] about you. At that time, they prophesied for [many] years that I would bring your [armies] to attack my people.
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Er det dig, jeg talede om i gamle dage ved mine Tjenere, Israels Profeter, som profeterede i hine Tider, at jeg vilde bringe dig over dem?
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
Men på hin dag, når Gog overfalder Israels Land, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, vil jeg give min Vrede Luft.
19 I will be very furious, and to show that I am angry, there will be a great earthquake in Israel, [where your armies will be].
I Nidkærhed, i glødende Vrede udtaler jeg det: Sandelig, på hin Dag skal et vældigt Jordskælv komme over Israels Land;
20 The fish in the sea, the birds, the wild animals, and the animals/creatures that crawl on the ground, and all the people on the earth will tremble because of what I [am doing]. Mountains will fall down, cliffs will crumble, and walls everywhere will fall to the ground.
for mit Åsyn skal Havets Fisk, Himmelens Fugle, Markens vilde Dyr og alt kryb på Jorden og alle Mennesker på Jordens Flade skælve, Bjergene skal styrte, Klippevæggene falde og hver Mur synke til Jord.
21 Gog, on all the mountains in the country that belongs to me I will cause your soldiers to fight against each other with their swords.
Jeg nedkalder alle Rædsler over ham, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; den enes Sværd skal rettes mod den anden;
22 I will punish [MTY] you [and your soldiers] with plagues and murders [MTY]. And I will send down [from the sky], on you and your troops that have come from many nations, huge amounts of rain and hail and burning sulfur.
jeg går i Rette med ham med Pest og Blod, med Regnskyl og Haglsten; Ild og Svovl lader jeg regne over ham, hans Hobe og de mange Folkeslag, som følger ham.
23 By doing that, I will cause [the people of] many nations to know that I am very great and holy, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
Jeg viser mig stor og hellig og giver mig til Kende for de mange Folks Øjne; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
