< Ezekiel 38 >
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Gog i Magogs Land, Fyrsten over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal, og profeter imod ham
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal.
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling 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 smaa Skjolde, alle med Sværd i Haand.
5 Persia, Cush, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Persere, Ætiopere og Putæere er med dem, alle med Skjold og Hjelm,
6 Gomer, and all his troops; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his troops: and many people with thee.
Gomer med alle dets Hobe, Togarmas Hus fra det yderste Nord med alle dets Hobe, mange Folkeslag er med.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled to thee, and be thou a guard to them.
Rust dig og hold dig rede med hele din Skare, som er samlet om dig, og vær mig rede til Tjeneste.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all dwell in safety.
Lang Tid herefter skal der komme Bud efter dig; ved Aarenes Fjende skal du overfalde et Land, som atter er unddraget Sværdet, et Folk, som fra mange Folkeslag er sanket sammen paa Israels Bjerge, der stadig laa øde hen, et Folk, som er ført bort fra Folkeslagene og nu bor trygt til Hobe.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy troops, and many people with thee.
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 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Paa hin Dag skal en Tanke stige op i dit Hjerte, og du skal oplægge onde Raad
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
og sige: »Jeg vil drage op imod et aabent Land og overfalde fredelige Folk, som bor trygt, som alle bor uden Mure og hverken har Portstænger eller Porte,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thy hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
for at gøre Bytte og røve Rov, lægge Haand paa genopbyggede Ruiner og paa et Folk, der er indsamlet fra Folkene og vinder sig Fæ og Gods, og som bor paa Jordens Navle.«
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, shall say to thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Sabæerne og Dedaniterne, Tarsis's 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, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
Profetér derfor, Menneskesøn, og sig til Gog: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, paa hin Dag skal du bryde op, medens mit Folk Israel bor trygt,
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty 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 And thou shalt come against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
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, naar jeg for deres Øjne helliger mig paa dig, Gog.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken of old by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
Saa 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 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
Men paa hin Dag, naar Gog overfalder Israels Land, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, vil jeg give min Vrede Luft.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
I Nidkærhed, i glødende Vrede udtaler jeg det: Sandelig, paa hin Dag skal et vældigt Jordskælv komme over Israels Land;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be overturned, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
for mit Aasyn skal Havets Fisk, Himmelens Fugle, Markens vilde Dyr og alt Kryb paa Jorden og alle Mennesker paa Jordens Flade skælve, Bjergene skal styrte, Klippevæggene falde og hver Mur synke til Jord.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
Jeg nedkalder alle Rædsler over ham, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; den enes Sværd skal rettes mod den anden;
22 And I will enter into judgment against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his troops, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
jeg gaar 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 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Jeg viser mig stor og hellig og giver mig til Kende for de mange Folks Øjne; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
