Ezekiel 25

1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

The word of YHWH came to me, saying,

2 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Ammons Børn, og spaa imod dem,

"Son of man, set your face toward the people of Ammon, and prophesy against them:

3 og sig til Ammons Børn: Hører den Herre, Herres Ord: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du sagde: Ha ha! over min Helligdom, fordi den er vanhelliget, og over Israels Land, fordi det er ødelagt, og over Judas Hus, fordi de ere vandrede i Landflygtighed:

and tell the people of Ammon, 'Hear the word of YHWH: Thus says YHWH, "Because you said, 'Aha,' against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:

4 Derfor se, jeg vil give dig til Ejendom for Østens Folk, og de skulle opslaa deres Teltbyer i dig og sætte deres Boliger i dig; de skulle æde din Frugt, og de skulle drikke din Mælk.

therefore, look, I will deliver you to the people of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

5 Og jeg vil gøre Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Børns Land til Faareleje; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the people of Ammon a resting place for flocks: and you shall know that I am YHWH."

6 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi du klappede i Haanden og stampede med Foden og glædede dig i al din Haan efter din Sjæls Lyst imod Israels Land:

For thus says YHWH: "Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land of Israel;

7 Derfor se, jeg ud rækker min Haand imod dig og giver dig hen til Bytte for Folkene og udrydder dig af Folkeslægternes Tal og lader dig forsvinde af Lan dene; jeg vil ødelægge dig, og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

therefore, look, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am YHWH."'"

8 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Moab og Sejr sige: Se, Judas Hus er ligesom alle Hedningerne:

"Thus says YHWH: 'Because Moab and Seir say, "Look, the house of Judah is like all the nations";

9 Derfor se, jeg vil aabne Moabs Side fra Stæderne af, fra dets Grænsestæder af, Landets Pryd, Beth-Jesimoth, Baal-Meon og Kirjathama,

therefore, look, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

10 for Østens Børn tillige med Ammons Børns Land, og jeg vil give dem det til Ejendom, paa det man ikke skal ihukomme Ammons Børn iblandt Folkene;

to the people of the east, to go against the people of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the people of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

11 og jeg vil holde Ret over Moab, at de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'"

12 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Edom tog en svar Hævn over Judas Hus og gjorde sig saare skyldig, da de hævnede sig paa dem:

"Thus says YHWH: 'Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them';

13 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg vil udrække min Haand over Edom og udrydde Mennesker og Kvæg deraf: Og jeg vil gøre det øde fra Theman af, og indtil Dedan skulle de falde ved Sværdet;

therefore thus says YHWH, 'I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

14 og jeg vil føre min Hævn over Edom ved mit Folk Israels Haand, og de skulle gøre ved Edom efter min Vrede og efter min Fortørnelse, og de skulle kende min Hævn, siger den Herre, Herre.

I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says YHWH.'"

15 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Filisterne have taget Hævn og have hævnet sig svarlig i Haan efter deres Sjæls Lyst for at ødelægge med et evigt Fjendskab:

"Thus says YHWH: 'Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;

16 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil udrække min Haand over Filisterne og udrydde Kreterne; og jeg vil tilintetgøre de overblevne ved Havets Strand;

therefore thus says YHWH, Look, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17 og jeg vil tage en stor Hævn over dem med grumme Straffe, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg fører min Hævn over dem.

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.'"
