Ezekiel 28
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
The word of YHWH came again to me, saying,
2 Mennesskesøn, sig til Tyruss Fyrste: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi dit Hjerte hovmoder sig og du siger: "Jeg er en Gud, på et Gudesæde sidder jeg midt ude i Havet!" skønt du er et Menneske og ingen Gud, og fordi du føler dig i Hjertet som en Gud;
"Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says YHWH: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
3 se, du er visere end Daniel, ingen Vismand måler sig med dig;
look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
4 ved din Visdom og indsigt vandt du dig Rigdom og samlede dig Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;
by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
5 ved dit store Handelssnilde øgede du din Rigdom, så dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over den -
by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches"—
6 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du i dit Hjerte føler dig som en Gud,
therefore thus says YHWH: "Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7 se, derfor bringer jeg fremmede over dig, de grummeste Folk, og de skal drage deres Sværd mod din skønne Visdom og vanhellige din Glans.
therefore, look, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
8 De skal styrte dig i Graven, og du skal dø de ihjelslagnes Død i Havets Dyb.
They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
9 Mon du da Ansigt til Ansigt med dem, der dræber dig, vil sige: "Jeg er en Gud!" du, som i deres Hånd, der slår dig ihjel, er et Menneske og ikke en Gud.
Will you yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 De uomskårnes Død skal du dø for fremmedes Hånd, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says YHWH.'"
11 Og HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
12 Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over kongen af Tyrus og sig til ham: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Du var Indsigtens Segl, fuld af Visdom og fuldkommen i Skønhed.
"Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'Thus says YHWH: "You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 I Eden, Guds Have, var du; alle Slags Ædelsten var din Klædning, Harneol, Topas, Jaspis, Krysolit, Sjoham, Onyks, Safir, Rubin, Smaragd og Guld var på dig i indfattet og indlagt Arbejde; det var til Rede, den Dag du skabtes.
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. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
14 Du var en salvet, skærmende Kerub; jeg gjorde dig dertil; på det hellige Gudebjerg var du; du vandrede imellem Guds Sønner.
You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Fuldkommen var du i din Færd, fra den Dag du skabtes, indtil der fandtes Brøde hos dig.
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 Ved din megen Handel fyldte du dit Indre med Uret og forbrød dig; da vanhelligede jeg dig og viste dig bort fra Gudebjerget og tilintetgjorde dig, skærmende Kerub, så du ikke blev mellem Guds Sønner.
By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over din Skønhed, du satte din Visdom til på Grund af din Glans. Jeg, slængte dig til Jorden og overgav dig til Konger, at de skulde nyde Skuet af dig.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18 Med dine mange Misgerninger, ved din uredelige Handel vanhelligede du dine Helligdomme. Da lod jeg Ild bryde løs i din Midte, og den fortærede dig; jeg gjorde dig til Støv på Jorden for alle, som så dig.
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 Alle blandt Folkeslagene, der kendte dig, stivnede af Skræk over dig; du blev en Rædsel, og borte er du for evigt.
All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"
20 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
21 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Zidon og profeter imod det
"Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Zidon, og herliggør mig på dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg holder Dom over dig og viser min Hellighed på dig.
and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23 Jeg sender Pest over dig og Blod i dine Gader; ihjelslagneMænd skal segne i din Midte for Sværd, der er rettet imod dig fra alle Sider; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
24 Fremtidig skal der ikke være nogen Tidsel til at såre eller Torn til at stikke Israels Hus blandt alle dets Naboer, som nu håner dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
"'There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned them; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'
25 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Når jeg samler Israels Slægt fra de Folkeslag, de er spredt iblandt, vil jeg hellige mig på dem for Folkenes Øjne, og de skal bo i deres Land, som jeg gav min Tjener Jakob;
"Thus says YHWH: 'When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 de skal bo trygt deri, bygge Huse og plante Vingårde, ja bo trygt, medens jeg holder Dom over alle dem, der håner dem fra alle Sider; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN deres Gud.
They shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am YHWH their God.'"
