Ezekiel 28
1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
2 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
Du Menneskesøn! sig til Tyrus's Fyrste: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi dit Hjerte ophøjede sig, og du sagde: Jeg er en Gud, jeg sidder paa Guds Sæde midt i Havet, medens du er et Menneske og ikke Gud og dog agtede dit Hjerte som Guds Hjerte;
3 behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
— se, du er visere end Daniel; intet lønligt er skjult for dig;
4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
du har forhvervet dig Formue ved din Visdom og ved din Forstand og bragt Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;
5 By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
du har formeret din Formue ved din megen Visdom i dit Købmandsskab, og dit Hjerte har ophøjet sig for din Formues Skyld: —
6 “‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du agtede dit Hjerte som Guds Hjerte,
7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
se, derfor vil jeg lade fremmede, de forfærdelige iblandt Folkene, komme over dig, og de skulle uddrage deres Sværd imod din Visdoms skønne Værk og vanhellige din Herlighed.
8 They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
De skulle kaste dig ned i Hulen, og du skal dø, som de gennemstungne dø midt i Havet.
9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
Mon du vel kan sige over for den, som ihjelslaar dig: Jeg er en Gud? medens du dog er et Menneske og ikke en Gud i hans Haand, som ihjelslaar dig.
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
Du skal dø, som de uomskaarne dø, ved fremmedes Haand; thi jeg har talt det, siger den Herre, Herre.
11 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Du Menneskesøn! opløft et Klagemaal over Kongen af Tyrus, og sig til ham: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Du, som paatrykker den afpassede Ordning Seglet, du, som er fuld af Visdom og fuldkommen i Skønhed,
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
du var i Eden, i Guds Have, alle Haande kostbare Stene bedækkede dig: Karneol, Topas og Demant, Krysolith, Onyks og Jaspis, Safir, Karbunkel og Smaragd og Guld; dine Trommer og dine Piber vare til Tjeneste hos dig, de vare beredte paa den Dag, du blev skabt.
14 You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
Du var en salvet Kerub, som skærmede; og jeg havde sat dig dertil, du var paa Guds hellige Bjerg, du vandrede midt imellem gloende Stene.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Du var fuldkommen i dine Veje fra den Dag af, du blev skabt, indtil Uretfærdighed blev funden i dig.
16 By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
Formedelst din store Handel fyldtes dit Indre af Uret, og du syndede; derfor fjernede jeg dig som vanhelliget fra Guds Bjerg og lod dig omkomme, du skærmende Kerub, at du ikke forblev imellem de gloende Stene.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
Dit Hjerte ophøjede sig for din Skønheds Skyld, du ødelagde din Visdom tillige med din Herlighed! jeg henkastede dig paa Jorden, gav dig hen for Kongers Ansigt, at de skulle se paa dig.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
Ved dine Misgerningers Mangfoldighed under din uretfærdige Handel vanhelligede du dine Helligdomme, og jeg lod en Ild gaa ud fra din Midte, den fortærede dig, og jeg gjorde dig til Aske paa Jorden for alles Øjne, som se dig.
19 All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
Alle som dig kendte iblandt Folkene, forfærdes over dig; du er bleven til Gru og skal i Evighed ikke være mere.
20 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Zidon, og spaa imod den,
22 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
og sig: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod dig, Zidon! og jeg vil herliggøre mig i din Midte; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg holder Ret over den og helliggør mig ved den.
23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
Og jeg vil sende Pest i den og Blod paa dens Gader, og der skal falde ihjelslagne i dens Midte for Sværdet, som skal komme over den trindt omkring fra; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
24 “‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
Og for Israels Hus skal der ikke ydermere være en Torn, som stikker, eller en Tidsel, som smerter, af alle dem, som ere trindt omkring dem, som haane dem, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.
25 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar jeg samler Israels Hus hjem fra Folkene, iblandt hvilke de ere adspredte, da vil jeg helliggøre mig ved dem for Hedningernes Øjne, og de skulle bo i deres Land, som jeg har givet min Tjener Jakob.
26 They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”’”
Og de skulle bo tryggelig derudi og bygge Huse og plante Vingaarde, ja, bo tryggelig; naar jeg holder Ret over alle dem, som haanede dem trindt omkring dem; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg Herren er deres Gud.
