Hesekiel 32
1 Och det begaf sig i tolfte årena, på första dagen i tolfte månadenom, skedde Herrans ord till mig, och sade:
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,
2 Du menniskobarn, gör en klagogråt öfver Pharao, Konungen i Egypten, och säg till honom: Du äst lika som ett lejon ibland Hedningarna, och såsom en hafsorm, och springer uti dina strömmar, och upprörer vattnet med dina fötter, och gör dess strömmar orena.
“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.
3 Detta säger Herren Herren: Jag skall utkasta mitt nät öfver dig med en stor hop folk, hvilke dig skola jaga in uti min garn.
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.
4 Och jag skall draga dig i land, och kasta dig uppå markena, att alle himmelens foglar skola sitta på dig, och all djur på jordene af dig mätt varda.
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.
5 Och jag skall kasta ditt as uppå bergen, och med dine höjd uppfylla dalar.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Landet, der du uti simmar, det skall jag med ditt blod rödt göra, allt intill bergen, så att bäckerna skola af dig fulle varda.
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.
7 Och när det nu med dig allt ute är, så skall jag betäcka himmelen, och förmörkra hans stjernor, och öfverdraga solena med moln, och månen skall icke skina.
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.
8 Allt ljus på himmelen skall jag låta sörja öfver dig, och vill göra ett mörker i ditt land, säger Herren Herren.
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.
9 Dertill skall jag göra dig mångom till ett förskräckeligit exempel, då jag låter Hedningarna förnimma dina plåga, och mång land, som du intet känner.
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.
10 Mång folk skola grufva sig öfver dig, och deras Konungar förskräckas, när jag låter mitt svärd blänka emot dem, och skola med hast förfäras, att hjertat må gifva sig i dem öfver ditt fall.
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.”
11 Ty så säger Herren Herren: Konungens svärd af Babel skall dräpa dig.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Och jag skall fälla ditt folk genom hjeltars svärd, och genom allahanda Hedningars tyranner; de skola förhärja all Egypti härlighet, och nederlägga all dess folk.
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.
13 Och jag skall förgöra all dess djur vid de stora vattnen, att ingens menniskos fot, och ingens djurs klöf skall dem oren göra.
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.
14 Si, då vill jag göra deras vatten klar, att deras strömmar skola flyta såsom olja, säger Herren Herren;
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 När jag hafver förlagt Egypti land, och allt, det i landena är, öde gjort, och slagit alla de som deruti bo, att de skola veta att jag är Herren.
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].”’
16 Det skall vara en jämmer, den man väl begråta må; ja, många Hedningarnas döttrar skola sådana gråt begå öfver Egypten, och allt dess folk skall man begråta, säger Herren Herren.
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.”
17 Och i tolfte årena, på femtonde dagen i samma månadenom, skedde Herrans ord till mig, och sade:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 Du menniskobarn, begråt folket uti Egypten, och stört det, samt med de starka Hedningars döttrar, neder under jordena, till dem som uti kulona fara.
“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.
19 Hvar är nu ditt prål? Stig neder, och lägg dig när de oomskorna.
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.
20 De skola falla ibland de slagna med svärd; svärdet är allaredo fattadt, och utdraget öfver allt dess folk.
[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.
21 Derom skola tala i helvete de starke hjeltar, med deras hjelpare, hvilke alle der nederfarne äro, och ligga der ibland de oomskorna och slagna med svärd. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
22 Der ligger Assur med allt sitt folk, allt omkring begrafven, hvilke alle slagne och genom svärd fallne äro.
[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.
23 Deras grafver äro djupt i kulone, och hans folk ligger allestäds omkring begrafvet, hvilke alle slagne och genom svärd fallne äro, der hela verlden fruktade sig före.
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.
24 Der ligger ock Elam, med allom sinom hop omkring begrafven, hvilke alle slagne och genom svärd fallne, och dit nederfarne äro, såsom de oomskorne, under jordena; der ock hela verlden för fruktade, och måste bära sina skam med dem som uti kulona fara.
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.
25 Man hafver lagt dem ibland de slagna, samt med allom deras hop, och de ligga omkring begrafne, och äro alle såsom de oomskome och slagne med svärd, för hvilkom ock hela verlden sig frukta måste; och måste bära sina skam med dem som i kulona fara, och blifva ibland de slagna.
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.
26 Der ligger Mesech och Thubal, med all sin hop omkring begrafven, hvilke alle oomskorne och med svärd slagne äro, för hvilkom ock sig hela verlden frukta måste;
[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.
27 Och alle andre hjeltar, som ibland de oomskorne fallne och med deras krigsvärjor till helvetes farne äro, och hafva måst lägga sin svärd under sin hufvud, och deras missgerning öfver deras ben kommen är, hvilke dock förfärlige hjeltar voro i hela verldene; alltså måste de ligga. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
28 Så skall du ock visserliga ibland de oomskorna sönderkrossad varda, och ligga ibland dem som med svärd slagne äro.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 Der ligger Edom, med sina Konungar och alla sina Förstar, ibland de slagna med svärd, och ibland de oomskorna, med andra som i kulona fara, hvilke dock mägtige varit hafva.
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.
30 Ja, alle Förstar nordanefter måste ock dit, och alle Zidonier som med de slagna nederfarne äro, och deras förskräckeliga magt är till skam vorden, och de måste ligga ibland de oomskorna, och dem som med svärd slagne äro, och bära sina skam, samt med dem som uti kulona fara.
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.
31 Dessa skall Pharao få se, och hugna sig med allo sino folke, som under honom med svärd slagne äro, och med sinom hela här, säger Herren Herren.
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.
32 Ty hela verlden skall dock en dag frukta sig för mig, att Pharao och all hans hop, ibland de oomskorna och med svärd slagna, ligga skall, säger Herren Herren.
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].”
