Ezekiel 39
1 Du, Menneskesøn, Profeter mod Gog og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN. Se, Jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over Rosj, Mesjek og Tubal!
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, prophesy about [more terrible things that will happen] to Gog, and say this [to him]: ‘Gog, I am opposed to you who rule Meshech and Tubal.
2 Jeg vender dig, leder dig og fører dig op fra det yderste Nord og bringer dig til Israels Bjerge.
I will turn you around and drag you [and your armies] from far north [of Israel] and send you to [fight on] the mountains in Israel.
3 Så slår jeg Buen ud af din venstre Hånd og lader Pilene falde ud af din højre.
When you are there, I will snatch your bows from your left hands and cause your arrows to fall from your right hands.
4 På Israels Bjerge skal du falde, du og alle dine Hobe og Folkeslagene, der følger dig; jeg giver dig til Føde for alle Hånde Rovfugle og Markens vilde Dyr.
You and all the soldiers that are with you will die on the mountains in Israel. I will give your [corpses] to be food for the birds that eat [dead] flesh, and to the wild animals.
5 I åben Mark skal du falde, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
You will die in the open fields. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, [have said that it will happen].
6 Og jeg sætter Ild på Magog og på de fjerne Strandes trygge Indbyggere; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
I will cause [many] fires to burn in Magog and among [all] those who live safely in the areas along their coasts, and they will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
7 Mit hellige Navn kundgør jeg midt i mit Folk Israel, og jeg vil ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, den Hellige i Israel.
I will enable my Israeli people to know that I am holy. I will no longer allow people to damage my reputation, and [people in other] nations will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the Holy One in Israel.
8 Se, det kommer, det skal ske, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN; det er Dagen, jeg har talet om.
[I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that it will soon be the day that those things will happen. It will be the day that I have spoken [to you] about.
9 Så skal Indbyggerne i Israels Byer gå ud og gøre Ild på og tænde op med Rustninger, små og store Skjolde, Buer, Pile, Håndstave og Spyd; og de skal bruge det til at gøre Ild med i syv År.
At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons [from your dead soldiers], and use them to make fires [to cook their food]. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.
10 De skal ikke hente Træ i Marken eller hugge Brænde i Skovene, men gøre Ild på med Rustningerne. De skal plyndre dem, de plyndredes af, og hærge dem, de hærgedes af, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
They will not need to gather firewood in the fields or cut wood from trees in the forests, because those weapons will be all the firewood [that they will need]. And they will take valuable things from those who took valuable things from them, and steal things from people who stole things from them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].
11 Og på hin Dag giver jeg Gog et Gravsted i Israel, Vandringsmændenes dal østen for Havet, og den skal spærre Vejen for Vandringsmænd; der skal de jorde Gog og hele hans larmende Hob og kalde Stedet: Gogs larmende Hobs dal.
At that time I will create a graveyard for you, Gog, [and your soldiers], in the valley east of the [Dead] Sea. That graveyard will block the road that travelers [usually walk on], because you, Gog and all [the soldiers] of your huge army will be buried there. [So] it will be named ‘the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army’.
12 Israels Hus skal have hele syv Måneder til at jorde dem og således rense Landet.
For seven months the people of Israel will be burying those corpses. [It will be necessary to bury all of them], in order that the land will not be (defiled/considered unacceptable to me) [because of any unburied corpses].
13 Alt folket i Landet skal jorde dem, og det skal tjene til deres Ros, på den Dag jeg herliggør mig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
All the people of Israel will [do the work of] burying them. The day when I [win that victory] they will honor me.
14 Man skal udvælge fast Mandskab til at drage Landet rundt og søge efter dem, der er blevet tilbage ud over Landet, for at rense det; når syv Måneder er gået, skal de skride til at søge;
After those seven months are ended, the Israeli people will appoint men to go throughout the land to bury corpses, in order that the land will not remain defiled.
15 og når de vandrer Landet rundt og en får Øje på Menneskeknogler, skal han sætte et Mærke derved, for at Graverne kan jorde dem i Gogs larmende Hobs Dal;
When they go through the land, when one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it. [When] the gravediggers [see the markers, they will pick up the bones] and bury them in the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army.
16 også skal en By have Navnet Hamona". Således skal de rense Landet.
There will be a city there named Hamonah, [which means ‘huge army’]. And by doing this [work of burying the corpses], they will (cleanse the land/cause the land to be acceptable to me again).’”
17 Og du, Menneskesøn! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Sig til alle Fugle og alle Markens vilde Dyr: Saml eder og kom hid, kom sammen alle Vegne fra til mit Slagtoffer, som jeg slagter for eder, et vældigt Slagtoffer på Israels Bjerge; I skal æde Kød og drikke Blod!
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Summon every kind of bird and wild animal. Say to them, ‘Gather together from everywhere and come to the feast that Yahweh is preparing for you. [It will be] a great feast on the mountains in Israel. [There] you will eat [men’s] flesh and drink their blood.
18 Kød af Helte skal I æde, Blod af Jordens Fyrster skal I drikke, Vædre, Får, Bukke og Tyre, alle fedet i Basan.
You will eat the flesh of strong soldiers and drink the blood of kings [as if they were] fat animals—rams and lambs, goats and bulls—from the Bashan [region].
19 I skal æde eder mætte i Fedt og drikke eder drukne i Blod af mit Slagtoffer, som jeg slagter for eder.
At that feast that Yahweh is preparing for you, you will eat fat until your [stomachs] are full, and you will drink blood until [it is as though] you are drunk.
20 I skal mætte eder ved mit Bord med Køreheste og Rytterheste, Helte og alle Hånde Krigsfolk, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
[It will be as though] you are eating at a table that I [have set up for you. You will eat all you want of the flesh] of horses and their riders, strong soldiers [DOU] of every kind.’ [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
21 Jeg åbenbarer min Herlighed blandt Folkene, og alle Folkene skal skue den Dom, jeg fuldbyrder, og min Hånd, som jeg lægger på dem.
I will show [people of] many nations that I am glorious, and all those nations will see how I punish them [DOU].
22 Israels Hus skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, er deres Gud fra hin Dag og fremdeles;
After that time, the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their God, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 og Folkene skal kende, at Israels Hus vandrede i Landflygtighed for deres Misgerningers Skyld, fordi de var troløse imod mig, så jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for dem og gav dem i deres Fjenders Hånd, hvorfor de alle faldt for Sværdet.
And the [people of other] nations will know that the Israeli people had been forced to go to other countries because they sinned by not being faithful to me. I (turned away from/abandoned) them, and allowed their enemies to capture them [IDM], and many [HYP] of them were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
24 Efter deres Urenhed og deres Overtrædelser handlede jeg med dem og skjulte mit Åsyn for dem.
I punished them like they deserved to be punished because of their disgusting behavior and sins, and I turned away from them [MTY].
25 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN; Nu vil jeg vende Jakobs Skæbne, forbarme mig over alt Israels Hus og være nidkær for mit hellige Navn;
Therefore, this is [now] what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will now bring back from exile/Babylonia [the descendants of] Jacob; I will pity all the Israeli people, and I will [also] jealously protect my reputation.
26 og de skal glemme deres Skændsel og al den Troløshed, de viste mig, når de bor trygt i deres Land, uden at nogen skræmmer,
When the Israeli people [are back in their own country, they will] live safely in their land, with no one to cause them to be afraid, but they will be ashamed when they think about the disgraceful and unfaithful things that they did [previously].
27 når jeg fører dem tilbage fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra deres Fjenders Lande og helliger mig på dem for mange Folks Øjne.
When I have brought them back from their enemies’ countries and gathered them together [in Israel], the people of many nations will know that I am holy.
28 Og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN deres Gud, når jeg efter at have ført dem i Landflygtighed blandt Folkene samler dem i deres Land uden at lade nogen af dem blive tilbage derude
And the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. They will know that because [even though] I forced them to go to [other] countries, I will gather them together in their own country. I will not leave any of them in those countries.
29 og ikke mere skjuler mit Åsyn for dem, da jeg har udgydt min Ånd over Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
I will no longer turn away from them; I will pour out my Spirit on the Israeli people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
