Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
I det tiende år, på den tolvte dag i den tiende måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.
Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og profeter mod ham og hele Ægypten.
3 Declare and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You, the great sea monster that lurks in the midst of the river, that says, “My river is my own. I have made it for myself.”
Tal og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Farao, Ægyptens Konge, du store drage, som ligger midt i dine Strømme, som siger: "Nilen er min, jeg skabte den selv!"
4 For I will place hooks in your jaw, and the fish of your Nile will cling to your scales; I will lift you up from the middle of your river along with all the fish of the river that cling to your scales.
Jeg sætter Kroge i Kæberne på dig og lader dine Strømmes Fisk hænge ved dine Skæl og drager dig op af dine Strømme med alle deres Fisk, som hænger ved dine Skæl.
5 I will throw you down into the wilderness, you and all the fish from your river. You will fall on the open field; you will not be gathered nor lifted up. I will give you as food to the living things of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.
Jeg slænger dig hen i Ørkenen med alle dine Strømes Fisk; på åben Mark skal du falde, ej samles op eller jordes; til Jordens Dyr og Himlens Fugle giver jeg dig som Føde.
6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a reed stalk to the house of Israel.
Og kende skal hver en Ægypter, at jeg er HERREN. Fordi du har været en Rørkæp for Israels Hus -
7 When they took hold of you in their hand, you broke and tore open their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you were broken, and you caused their legs to be unsteady.
du splintredes, når de greb om dig, og flænged dem hele Hånden; du brast, når de støtted sig til dig, fik hver en Lænd til at vakle -
8 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will bring a sword against you. I will cut off both man and beast from you.
derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg bringer Sværd over dig og udrydder Folk og Fæ af dig;
9 So the land of Egypt will become desolate and a ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because the sea monster had said, “The river is mine, for I have made it.”
Ægypten skal blive til Ørk og Øde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, fordi du sagde: "Nilen er min, jeg skabte den selv!"
10 Therefore, behold! I am against you and against your river, so I will give the land of Egypt over to desolation and waste, and you will become a wasteland from the Migdol to Syene and the borders of Cush.
Se, derfor kommer jeg over dig og dine Strømme og gør Ægypten til Øde og Ørk fra Migdol til Syene og Ætiopiens Grænse.
11 No man's foot will pass through it, and no wild animal's foot will pass through it. It will not be inhabited for forty years.
Hverken Mennesker eller Dyr skal sætte deres Fod der, ingen skal færdes der, og det skal ligge hen uden Indbyggere i fyrretyve År.
12 For I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of uninhabited lands, and its cities in the midst of wasted cities will become a desolation for forty years; then I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them though the lands.
Jeg gør Ægypten til en Ørk blandt øde Lande, og Byerne skal ligge øde hen blandt tilintetgjorte Byer i fyrretyve År; og jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.
13 For the Lord Yahweh says this: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Efter fyrretyvears Forløb vil jeg sanke Ægypterne sammen fra de Folkeslag, de er spredt iblandt,
14 I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the region of Pathros, to the land of their origin. Then they will be a lowly kingdom there.
og vende Ægyptens Skæbne og føre dem tilbage til Patros, det Land, de stammer fra, og der skal de blive et lille Rige.
15 It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will not be lifted up any more among the nations. I will diminish them so they will no longer rule over nations.
Det skal blive mindre end de andre Riger og ikke mere svinge sig op over Folkene; jeg gør dem få i Tal, for at de ikke mere skal råde over Folkene.
16 The Egyptians will no longer be a reason for confidence for the house of Israel. Instead, they will be a reminder of the iniquity that Israel committed when they turned to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.'”
Og fremtidig skal de ikke være Israels Huss Tillid og således minde mig om dets Misgerning, når det slutter sig til dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
17 Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
I det syv og tyvende År på den første Dag i den første Måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was rubbed until it was made bald, and every shoulder was made raw. Yet he and his army received no payment from Tyre for the hard work that he carried out against it.
Menneskesøn! Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel har ladet sin Hær udføre et stort Arbejde mod Tyrus; hvert Hoved er skaldet, hver Skulder flået, og hverken han eller Hæren fik Løn af Tyrus for det Arbejde, han udførte imod det.
19 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel Ægypten; han skal bortføre dets Rigdom, tage Bytte og røve Rov der; og det skal være hans Hærs Løn;
20 I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
som Vederlag for hans Arbejde giver jeg ham Ægypten, fordi de sled for mig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
21 On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
På den Dag lader jeg et Horn vokse frem for Israels Hus, og dig giver jeg at åbne din Mund iblandt dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
