Ezekiel 23
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Meneskesøn! Der var to Kvinder, Døtre af en og samme Moder.
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.
3 De bolede i deres Ungdom i Ægypten: der krammedes deres Bryster, der krænkede man deres Jomfrubarm.
And they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised.
4 Den ældste hed Ohola, hendes Søster Oholiba. Og de blev mine og fødte Sønner og Døtre. Ohola er Samaria, Oholiba Jerusalem.
And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba.
5 Men i Stedet for at holde sig til mig bolede Ohola og var i Brynde for sine Elskere, Assurs Sønner, der nærmede sig hende
And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her,
6 klædt i Purpur, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd, Ryttere højt til Hest;
Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses.
7 og hun gav dem sin bolerske Elskov, alle Assurs ypperste Sønner, og alle Vegne, hvor hun kom i Brynde, gjorde hun sig uren ved deres Afgudsbilleder.
And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted.
8 Men sin Bolen med Ægypterne opgav hun ikke, thi de hade ligget hos hende i hendes Ungdom; de havde skændet hendes Jomfrubarm og udøst deres bolerske Attrå over hende.
Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her.
9 Derfor gav jeg hende i hendes Elskeres, Assurs Sønners, Hånd, for hvem hun var i Brynde;
Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted.
10 og de blottede hendes Blusel, tog hendes Sønner og Døtre og dræbte hende selv med Sværd, så hun fik Vanry blandt Kvinder; således fuldbyrdede de Dommen over hende.
They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her.
11 Det så hendes Søster Oholiba, og dog kom hun i endnu værre Brynde og bolede endnu værre end Søsteren.
And when her sister Ooliba saw this, she was mad with lust more than she: and she carried her fornication beyond the fornication of her sister.
12 Hun kom i Brynde for Assurs Sønner, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, der nærmede sig hende herligt klædt, Ryttere højt til Hest, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd.
Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty.
13 Og jeg så, at hun blev uren; begge fulgte samme Vej.
And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way.
14 Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu; thi da hun så Mænd afbildede på Muren, Billeder af Kaldæere, malet med rødt,
And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours,
15 med Bælte om Lænd og nedhængende Hovedbind, alle at se til som Høvedsmænd, en Afbildning af Babels Sønner, hvis Hjemstavn Kaldæa er,
And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born,
16 så kom hun i Brynde for dem, så snart hun fik Øje på dem, og hun sendte Bud til dem i Kaldæa:
She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Og Babels Sønner gik ind til hende, lå hos hende i Elskov og gjorde hende uren ved deres Bolen; og hun blev uren ved dem, til hun følte Lede ved dem.
And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them.
18 Da hun havde åbenbaret sin bolerske Attrå og blottet sin Blusel, følte jeg Lede ved hende, som jeg var blevet led ved hendes søster.
And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu, idet hun kom sin Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da hun havde bolet i Ægypten,
For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 og hun kom i Brynde ved dets Bolere, der havde Kød som Æsler og var gejle som Hingste;
And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.
21 og hun optog sin Ungdoms Skændsel, dengang Ægypterne krænkede hendes Jomfrubarm og krammede hendes unge Bryster,
And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the papa of thy virginity broken.
22 Derfor, Oholiba, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg hidser dine Elskere på dig, dem, du følte Lede ved, og fører dem mod dig fra alle Kanter,
Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about.
23 Babels Sønner og alle Kaldæerne, Pekod, Sjoa og Koa og med dem alle Assurs Sønner, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, Høvedsmænd og navnkundige Mænd, alle højt til Hest;
The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, and the kings, and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, beautiful young men, all the captains, and rulers, the princes of princes, and the renowned horsemen.
24 og de skal komme imod dig med en Vrimmel af Vogne og Hjul og en Hærskare af Folkeslag; store og små Skjolde og Hjelme skal de rette imod dig fra alle Kanter. Jeg overlader dem Dommen, og de skal dømme dig efter deres Ret.
And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot and wheel, a multitude of people: they shall be armed against thee on every side with breastplate, and buckler, and helmet: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgments.
25 Jeg retter min Nidkærhed imod dig, og de skal handle med dig i Vrede; din Næse og dine Ører skal de skære af, dit Afkom skal falde for Sværdet; de skal tage dine Sønner og Døtre, og dit Afkom skal fortæres af Ild;
And I will set my jealousy against thee, which they shall execute upon thee with fury: they shall cut off thy nose and thy ears: and what remains shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by fire.
26 de skal rive Klæderne af dig og tage alle dine Smykker;
And they shall strip thee of thy garments, and take away the instruments of thy glory.
27 jeg gør Ende på din Skændsel og din Bolen, som du hengav dig til i Ægypten, og du skal ikke mere løfte dit Blik til dem eller komme Ægypten i Hu.
And I will put an end to thy wickedness in thee, and thy fornication brought out of the land of Egypt: neither shalt thou lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver dig i deres Hånd, som du hader og ledes ved;
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted.
29 de skal handle med dig i Had og tage alt dit Gods og efterlade dig nøgen og bar, så din bolerske blussel blottes.
And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications.
30 Det kan du takke din Skændsel og din Bolen for, thi du bolede med Folkene og gjorde dig uren med deres Afgudsbilleder.
They have done these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the nations among which thou wast defiled with their idols.
31 Du vandrede i din Søsters Spor; derfor giver jeg dig hendes Bæger i Hånden.
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister, and I will give her cup into thy hand.
32 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Du skal drikke af din Søsters Bæger, som er både dybt og bredt; du skal blive til Latter og Spot; Bægeret rummer meget;
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou shalt drink thy sister’s cup, deep, and wide: thou shalt be had in derision and scorn, which containeth very much.
33 det er fuldt af Beruselse og Stønnen, et Bæger med Gru og Rædsel er din Søster Samarias Bæger.
Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness, and sorrow: with the cup of grief, and sadness, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34 Du skal drikke det ud til sidste Dråbe, gnave dets Skår og sønderrive dine Bryster, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
35 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du glemte mig og kastede mig bag din Ryg, skal du bære Følgen af din Skændsel og Bolen.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast forgotten me, and hast cast me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness, and thy fornications.
36 Og HERREN sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Ohola og Oholiba, så forehold dem deres Vederstyggeligheder,
And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge Oolla, and Ooliba, and dost thou declare to them their wicked deeds?
37 at de horede og har Blod på Hænderne; de horede med deres Afgudsbilleder, og til Føde for dem lod de Børnene, de fødte mig, gå igennem Ilden.
Because they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and they have committed fornication with their idols: moreover also their children, whom they bore to me, they have offered to them to be devoured.
38 Fremdeles har de gjort mig dette: De har gjort min Helligdom uren og vanhelliget mine Sabbater;
Yea, and they have done this to me. They polluted my sanctuary on the same day, and profaned my sabbaths.
39 endog samme Dag de havde slagtet deres Børn til Afgudsbillederne, kom de til min Helligdom og vanhelligede den. Sandelig, således gjorde de i mit Hus.
And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, and went into my sanctuary the same day to profane it: they did these things even in the midst of my house.
40 Ja, for Mænd, som kom langvejs fra, straks der var sendt dem Bud, badede du dig, sminkede du dine Øjne og tog dine Smykker på;
They sent for men coming from afar, to whom they had sent a messenger: and behold they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thy eyes, and wast adorned with women’s ornaments.
41 og du satte dig på et prægtigt Leje, og foran det dækkedes et Bord, på hvilket du satte min Røgelse og min Olie.
Thou sattest on a very fine bed, and a table was decked before thee: whereupon thou didst set my incense, and my ointment.
42 Og det ligefrem larmede hos Søstrene; så mange Mænd kom der fra Ørkenen; og de lagde Spange om deres Arme og satte en herlig Krone på deres Hoved.
And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Så sagde jeg: Således har de horet, på Skøgevis har de bolet.
And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will this woman still continue in her fornication.
44 Man gik ind til dem som til en Skøge; således gik man ind til Ohola og Oholiba og øvede Skændsel.
And they went in to her, as to a harlot: so went they in unto Oolla, and Ooliba, wicked women.
45 Uvildige Mænd skal dømme dem efter Ægteskabsbryderskers og Morderskers Ret; thi de horede og har Blod på Hænderne.
They therefore are just men: these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as shedders of blood are judged: because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: En Forsamling skal sammenkaldes imod dem, og de skal gives hen til at mishandles og udplyndres;
For thus saith the Lord God: Bring a multitude upon them, and deliver them over to tumult and rapine:
47 Forsamlingen skal stene dem og hugge dem sønder og sammen med Sværd; deres Sønner og Døtre skal man dræbe, og deres Huse skal man brænde.
And lee the people stone them with stones, and let them be stabbed with their swords: they shall kill their sons and daughters, and their houses they shall burn with fire.
48 Jeg gør Ende på Skændselen i Landet, og alle kvinder skal lade sig advare derved og ikke efterligne eders Skændsel.
And I will take away wickedness out of the land: and all women shall learn, not to do according to the wickedness of them.
49 Man skal lade eders Skændsel komme over eder, og I skal bære Følgen af de Synder, I gjorde med eders Afgudsbilleder; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.
And they shall render your wickedness upon you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
