Ezekiel 25

1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

2 Mennesskesøn, vend dit Ansigt imod Ammoniterne, profeter imod dem

“Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them.

3 og sig til dem: Hør den Herre HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du råbte "Ha, ha!" over min Helligdom, da den vanhelligedes, og over Israels Land, da det lagdes øde, og over Judas Hus, da de vandrede i Landflygtighed,

Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says, “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 se, derfor giver jeg dig i Eje til Østens Sønner; de skal opslå deres Teltlejre og indrette deres Boliger i dig; de skal spise din Frugt og drikke din Mælk.

therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession. They will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk.

5 Jeg gør Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Byer til Lejrsted for Småkvæg; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

6 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du klappede i Hænderne og stampede med Fødderne og med dyb Ringeagt godtede dig af Hjertet over Israels Land,

For the Lord GOD says: “Because you have clapped your hands, stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel,

7 se, derfor udrækker jeg Hånden imod dig og gør dig til Rov for Folkene; jeg udrydder dig af Folkeslagene, udsletter dig af Landene og tilintetgør dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries. I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

8 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Moab siger: "Se, det er med Judas Hus som med alle de andre Folk!"

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’

9 se, derfor lægger jeg Moabs Skrænter åbne, så Byerne går tabt fra dets ene Ende til den anden, Landets Pryd, Bet Jesjimot, Baal-Meon og Hirjatajim.

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

10 Østens Sønner giver jeg det i Eje, for at det ikke mere skal ihukommes blandt Folkene.

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

11 Jeg holder Dom over Moab; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

I will execute judgments on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

12 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Edom optrådte hævngerrigt mod Judas Hus og pådrog sig svar Skyld ved at hævne sig på dem,

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them,”

13 derfor, så siger den Herre HEEREN: Jeg udrækker Hånden mod Edom og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf og gør det øde; fra Teman til Dedan skal de falde for Sværdet.

therefore the Lord GOD says, “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. They will fall by the sword even to Dedan.

14 Jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn på Edom ved mit Folk Israels Hånd, og de skal handle med Edom efter min Vrede og Harme, og Edom skal kende min Hævn, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath. Then they will know my vengeance,” says the Lord GOD.

15 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Filisterne optrådte hævngerrigt og med Foragt i Hjertet tog Hævn og hærgede i endeløst Had,

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because the Philistines have taken revenge, and have taken vengeance with contempt of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility,”

16 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg udrækker Hånden mod Filisterne og udrydder kreterne, og jeg tilintetgør, hvad der er levnet ved Havets Strand.

therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, 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 Jeg tager vældig Hævn oer dem og revser dem i Vrede; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn på dem.

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance on them.”’”
