Ezekiel 16
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, forehold Jerusalem dets Vederstyggeligheder
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Jerusalem: Dit Udspring og din Oprindelse var i Kanaanæernes Land; din Fader var Amorit, din Moder Hetiterinde.
And say, Thus says the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite.
4 Og ved din Fødsel gik det således til: Da du fødtes, blev din Navlestreng ikke skåret over, ej heller blev du tvættet ren med Vand eller gnedet med Salt eller lagt i Svøb.
And as for your nativity, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to clean you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Ingen så på dig med så megen Medynk, at han af Medlidenhed gjorde nogen af disse Ting for dig, men du henslængtes på Marken, den Dag du fødtes; således væmmedes man ved din Sjæl.
None eye pitied you, to do any of these unto you, to have compassion upon you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person, in the day that you were born.
6 Men jeg kom forbi, og da jeg så dig sprælle i Blod, sagde jeg til dig, som du lå der i Blodet: "Du skal leve
And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said unto you when you were in your blood, Live; yea, I said unto you when you were in your blood, Live.
7 og vokse som en Urt på Marken!" Og du voksede, blev stor og trådte ind i din Skønheds Fylde; dine Bryster blev faste, og dit Hår voksede; men du var nøgen og bar.
I have caused you to multiply as the bud of the field, and you have increased and becoming great, and you are come to excellent ornaments: your breasts are fashioned, and your hair is grown, whereas you were naked and bare.
8 Så kom jeg forbi og så dig, og se, din Tid var inde, din Elskovstid; og jeg bredte min Kappeflig over dig og tilhyllede din Blusel; så tilsvor jeg dig Troskab og indgik Pagt med dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, og du blev min.
Now when I passed by you, and looked upon you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yea, I swore unto you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.
9 Så tvættede jeg dig med Vand, skyllede Blodet af dig og salvede dig med Olie;
Then washed I you with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 jeg klædte dig i broget vævede Klæder, gav dig Sko af Tahasjskind på, bandt Byssusklæde om dit Hoved og hyllede dig i Silke;
I clothed you also with broidered work, and shod you with badgers' skin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and I covered you with silk.
11 jeg smykkede dig, lagde Spange om dine Arme og Kæde om din Hals,
I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon your hands, and a chain on your neck.
12 fæstede en Ring i din Næse, kugler i dine Ører og en herlig krone på dit Hoved;
And I put a jewel on your forehead, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
13 du smykkedes med Guld og - Sølv, din Klædning var Byssus, Silke og broget vævede Klæder; fint Hvedemel, Honning og Olie var din Mad, og du blev såre dejlig og drev det til at blive Dronning.
Thus were you decked with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; you did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper into a kingdom.
14 Dit Ry kom ud blandt Folkene for din Dejligheds Skyld; thi den var fuldendt ved de Smykker, jeg udstyrede dig med, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And your renown went forth among the heathen for your beauty: for it was perfect through my loveliness, which I had put upon you, says the Lord GOD.
15 Men du stolede på din Dejlighed og bolede i Kraft af dit Ry; du udøste din bolerske Attrå over enhver, som kom forbi; du blev hans.
But you did trust in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 Af dine Klæder tog du og gjorde dig spraglede Offerhøje og bolede på dem.
And of your garments you did take, and decked your high places with divers colours, and played the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Du tog dine Smykker af mit Guld og Sølv, som jeg havde givet dig, og gjorde dig Mandsbilleder og bolede med dem.
You have also taken your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and did commit whoredom with them,
18 Du tog dine broget vævede Klæder og hyllede dem deri, og min Olie og Røgelse satte du for dem.
And took your broidered garments, and covered them: and you have set mine oil and mine incense before them.
19 Brødet, som jeg havde givet dig - fint Hedemel, Olie og Honning gav jeg dig at spise - satte du for dem til en liflig Duft, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
My food also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed you, you have even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, says the Lord GOD.
20 Og du tog dine Sønner og Døtre, som du havde født mig, og slagtede dem til Føde for dem. Var det ikke nok med din Bolen,
Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne unto me, and these have you sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of your whoredoms a small matter,
21 siden du slagtede mine Sønner og gav dem hen, idet du indviede dem til dem?
That you have slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 Og under alle dine Vederstyggeligheder og din Bolen kom du ikke din Ungdoms dage i Hu, da du var nøgen og bar og lå og sprællede i Blod.
And in all of your abominations and your whoredoms you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were polluted in your blood.
23 Og efter al denne din Ondskab - ve dig, ve! lyder det fra den Herre HERREN -
And it came to pass after all your wickedness, (woe, woe unto you! says the LORD GOD; )
24 byggede du dig en Alterfod og gjorde dig en Offerhøj på alle Torve.
That you have also built unto you an eminent place, and have made you an high place in every street.
25 Ved hvert Gadehjørne byggede du dig en Offerhøj og vanærede din Dejlighed; du spredte Benene for enhver, som kom forbi, og drev din Bolen vidt.
You have built your high place at every head of the way, and have made your beauty to be abhorred, and have opened your feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied your whoredoms.
26 Du bolede med Ægypterne, dine sværlemmede Naboer, og drev din Bolen vidt og krænkede mig.
You have also committed fornication with the Egyptians your neighbours, great of flesh; and have increased your whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
27 Men se, jeg udrakte min Hånd imod dig og unddrog dig, hvad der tilkom dig, og jeg gav dig dine Fjender Filisterindernes Gridskhed i Vold, de, som skammede sig over din utugtige Færd.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you unto the will of them that hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Siden bolede du med Assyrerne, umættelig som du var; du bolede med dem, men blev endda ikke mæt.
You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yea, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.
29 Så udstrakte du din Bolen til Kræmmerlandet, Kaldæernes Land, men blev endda ikke mæt.
You have moreover multiplied your fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied therewith.
30 Hvor vansmægtede dog dit Hjerte, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, da du gjorde alt dette, som kun en arg Skøge kan gøre,
How weak is your heart, says the LORD GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an domineering whorish woman;
31 da du byggede dig en Alterfod ved hvert Gadehjørne og gjorde dig en Offerhøj på hvert Torv. Men du lignede ikke Skøgen i at samle Skøgeløn;
In that you build your eminent place in the head of every way, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as an harlot, in that you scorn hire;
32 hvilken Horkvinde, der tager fremmede i sin Mands Sted! -
But as a wife that commits adultery, which takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 ellers giver man Skøgen en Gave, men du gav alle dine Elskere Gaver og købte dem til at komme til dig rundt om fra og bole med dig.
They give gifts to all whores: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come unto you on every side for your whoredom.
34 Hos dig var det modsat af, hvad Tilfældet ellers er med Kvinder; ingen løb efter dig for at bole, men du gav Skøgeløn og fik selv ingen; det var det modsatte.
And the contrary is in you from other women in your whoredoms, whereas none follows you to commit whoredoms: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given unto you, therefore you are contrary.
35 Derfor, du Skøge, hør HERRENs Ord!
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
36 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi din Skam ødtes bort og din Blusel blottedes for dine Elskere ved din Boler, derfor og for alle dine vederstyggelige Afgudsbilleders Skyld og for dine Sønners Blods Skyld, som du gav dem,
Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness discovered through your whoredoms with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give unto them;
37 se, derfor vil jeg samle alle dine Elskere, hvem du var til Glæde, både alle dem, du elskede, og alle dem, du hadede; jeg vil samle dem imod dig trindt om fra og blotte din Blusel for dem, så de ser den helt.
Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will discover your nakedness unto them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 Jeg vil dømme dig efter Horkvinders og Morderskers Ret og lade Vrede og Nidkærhed ramme dig.
And I will judge you, as women that violate marriage bond and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.
39 Jeg giver dig i deres Hånd, og de skal nedbryde din Alterfod, ødelægge dine Offerhøje, rive Klæderne af dig, tage dine Smykker og lade dig stå nøgen og bar.
And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places: they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
40 De skal sammenkalde en Forsamling imod dig, stene dig og med deres Sværd hugge dig sønder og sammen;
They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 de skal sætte Ild på dine Huse og fuldbyrde Dommen over dig i mange Kvinders Påsyn. Jeg gør Ende på din Bolen, og du skal ikke mere komme til at give Skøgeløn.
And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire any more.
42 Jeg stiller min Vrede på dig, til min Nidkærhed viger fra dig, så jeg får Ro og ikke mere er krænket.
So will I make my fury toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Fordi du ikke kom dine Ungdoms Dage i Hu, men vakte min Vrede ved alt dette, se, derfor vil jeg gøre Gengæld og lade din Færd komme over dit Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN. Du skal ikke vedblive at føje Skændsel til alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.
Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense your way upon your head, says the Lord GOD: and you shall not commit this lewdness above all of your abominations.
44 Se, enhver, som ynder Ordsprog, skal bruge det Ordsprog om dig: "Som Moder så datter!"
Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Du er din Moders Datter, hun lededes ved sin Mand og sine Børn; og du er dine Søstres Søster, de lededes ved deres Mænd og Børn. Eders Moder var Hetiterinde, eders Fader Amorit.
You are your mother's daughter, that detests her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Din store søster var samaria og hendes Døtre norden for dig, og din lille Søster sønden for dig var Sodoma og hendes Døtre.
And your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand: and your younger sister, that dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 På deres Veje vandrede du ikke, og Vederstyggeligheder som deres øvede du ikke; kun en liden Stund, så handlede du endnu værre end de på alle dine Veje.
Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.
48 Så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERRE, din Søster Sodoma og hendes Døtre handlede ikke som du og dine Døtre!
As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Se, din Søster Sodomas Brøde var Overmod; Brød i Overflod og sorgløs Tryghed blev hende og hendes Døtre til Del, men de rakte ikke den arme og fattige en hjælpende Hånd;
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 de blev hovmodige og øvede Vederstyggelighed for mine Øjne; derfor stødte jeg dem bort, så snart jeg så det.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 Heller ikke Samaria syndede halvt så meget som du! Du har øvet flere Vederstyggeligheder end de og retfærdiggjort dine Søstre ved alle de Vederstyggeligheder, du øvede.
Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all of your abominations which you have done.
52 Så bær da også du din Skændsel, du, som har skaffet dine Søstre Oprejsning; da dine Synder er vederstyggeligere end deres, står de retfærdigere end du; så skam da også du dig og bær din Skændsel, fordi du har retfærdiggjort dine Søstre.
You also, which have judged your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins that you have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than you: yea, be you confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 Og jeg vil vende deres Skæbne, Sodomas og hendes Døtres og Samarias og hendes Døtres, og jeg vil vende din Skæbne midt iblandt dem,
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of your captives in the midst of them:
54 for at du kan bære din Skændsel og blues ved alt, hvad du har gjort, idet du derved skaffede demen Trøst.
That you may bear your own shame, and may be confounded in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort unto them.
55 Dine Søstre Sodoma og hendes Døtre og Samaria og hendes Døtre skal blive, hvad de fordum var, og du og dine Døtre, hvad I fordum var.
When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Din Søster Sodomas Navn tog du ikke i din Mund i dit Overmods Dage,
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 da din Blusel endnu ikke var blottet som nu, du Spot for Edoms Kvinder, og alle kvinder deromkring og for Filisternes Kvinder, som hånede dig fra alle Sider!
Before your wickedness was discovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise you round about.
58 Du må bære din Skændsel og dine Vederstyggeligheder, lyder det fra HERREN.
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.
59 Ja, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør med dig, som du har gjort, du, som lod hånt om Eden og brød Pagten.
For thus says the Lord GOD; I will even deal with you as you have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Men jeg vil ihukomme min Pagt med dig i din Ungdoms Dage og oprette en evig Pagt med dig.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish unto you an everlasting covenant.
61 Og du skal komme dine Veje i Hu og blues, når jeg tager dine Søstre, både dem, der er større, og dem, der er mindre end du, og giver dig dem til Døtre, men ikke fordi du var tro i Pagten.
Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder and your younger: and I will give them unto you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Jeg opretter min Pagt med dig, og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN,
And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD:
63 for at du skal komme det i Hu med Skam og ikke mere kunne åbne din Mund, fordi du blues, når jeg tilgiver dig alt, hvad du har gjort, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
That you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the Lord GOD.
