Ezekiel 23
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
Menneskesøn! Der var to Kvinder, Døtre af en og samme Moder.
3 They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
De bolede i deres Ungdom i Ægypten: der krammedes deres Bryster, der krænkede man deres Jomfrubarm.
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Den ældste hed Ohola, hendes Søster Oholiba. Og de blev mine og fødte Sønner og Døtre. Ohola er Samaria, Oholiba Jerusalem.
5 “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
Men i Stedet for at holde sig til mig bolede Ohola og var i Brynde for sine Elskere, Assurs Sønner, der nærmede sig hende
6 who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
klædt i Purpur, Statholdere og Landshøvdinger, alle sammen smukke unge Mænd, Ryttere højt til Hest;
7 She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
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.
8 She has not left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
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 Attraa over hende.
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
Derfor gav jeg hende i hendes Elskeres, Assurs Sønners, Haand, for hvem hun var i Brynde;
10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
og de blottede hendes Blusel, tog hendes Sønner og Døtre og dræbte hende selv med Sværd, saa hun fik Vanry blandt Kvinder; saaledes fuldbyrdede de Dommen over hende.
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
Det saa hendes Søster Oholiba, og dog kom hun i endnu værre Brynde og bolede endnu værre end Søsteren.
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
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.
13 I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
Og jeg saa, at hun blev uren; begge fulgte samme Vej.
14 “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu; thi da hun saa Mænd afbildede paa Muren, Billeder af Kaldæere, malet med rødt,
15 dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
med Bælte om Lænd og nedhængende Hovedbind, alle at se til som Høvedsmænd, en Afbildning af Babels Sønner, hvis Hjemstavn Kaldæa er,
16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
saa kom hun i Brynde for dem, saa snart hun fik Øje paa dem, og hun sendte Bud til dem i Kaldæa:
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Og Babels Sønner gik ind til hende, laa hos hende i Elskov og gjorde hende uren ved deres Bolen; og hun blev uren ved dem, til hun følte Lede ved dem.
18 So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.
Da hun havde aabenbaret sin bolerske Attraa og blottet sin Blusel, følte jeg Lede ved hende, som jeg var blevet led ved hendes Søster.
19 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Men hun drev sin Bolen videre endnu, idet hun kom sin Ungdoms Dage i Hu, da hun havde bolet i Ægypten,
20 She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
og hun kom i Brynde ved dets Bolere, der havde Kød som Æsler og var gejle som Hingste;
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
og hun optog sin Ungdoms Skændsel, dengang Ægypterne krænkede hendes Jomfrubarm og krammede hendes unge Bryster,
22 “Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
Derfor, Oholiba, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg hidser dine Elskere paa dig, dem, du følte Lede ved, og fører dem mod dig fra alle Kanter,
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
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;
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
og de skal komme imod dig med en Vrimmel af Vogne og Hjul og en Hærskare af Folkeslag; store og smaa Skjolde og Hjelme skal de rette imod dig fra alle Kanter. Jeg overlader dem Dommen, og de skal dømme dig efter deres Ret.
25 I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
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;
26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
de skal rive Klæderne af dig og tage alle dine Smykker;
27 Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
jeg gør Ende paa 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.
28 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg giver dig i deres Haand, som du hader og ledes ved;
29 They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
de skal handle med dig i Had og tage alt dit Gods og efterlade dig nøgen og bar, saa din bolerske Blusel blottes.
30 These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
Det kan du takke din Skændsel og din Bolen for, thi du bolede med Folkene og gjorde dig uren med deres Afgudsbilleder.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
Du vandrede i din Søsters Spor; derfor giver jeg dig hendes Bæger i Haanden.
32 “The Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Du skal drikke af din Søsters Bæger, som er baade dybt og bredt; du skal blive til Latter og Spot; Bægeret rummer meget;
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
det er fuldt af Beruselse og Stønnen, et Bæger med Gru og Rædsel er din Søster Samarias Bæger.
34 You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
Du skal drikke det ud til sidste Draabe, gnave dets Skaar og sønderrive dine Bryster, saa sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
35 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du glemte mig og kastede mig bag din Ryg, skal du bære Følgen af din Skændsel og Bolen.
36 The LORD said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Ohola og Oholiba, saa forehold dem deres Vederstyggeligheder,
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
at de horede og har Blod paa Hænderne; de horede med deres Afgudsbilleder, og til Føde for dem lod de Børnene, de fødte mig, gaa igennem Ilden.
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Fremdeles har de gjort mig dette: De har gjort min Helligdom uren og vanhelliget mine Sabbater;
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.
endog samme Dag de havde slagtet deres Børn til Afgudsbillederne, kom de til min Helligdom og vanhelligede den. Sandelig, saaledes gjorde de i mit Hus.
40 “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,
Ja, for Mænd, som kom langvejs fra, straks der var sendt dem Bud, badede du dig, sminkede du dine Øjne og tog dine Smykker paa;
41 and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
og du satte dig paa et prægtigt Leje, og foran det dækkedes et Bord, paa hvilket du satte min Røgelse og min Olie.
42 “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
Og det ligefrem larmede hos Søstrene; saa mange Mænd kom der fra Ørkenen; og de lagde Spange om deres Arme og satte en herlig Krone paa deres Hoved.
43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
Saa sagde jeg: Saaledes har de horet, paa Skøgevis har de bolet.
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
Man gik ind til dem som til en Skøge; saaledes gik man ind til Ohola og Oholiba og øvede Skændsel.
45 Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Uvildige Mænd skal dømme dem efter Ægteskabsbryderskers og Morderskers Ret; thi de horede og har Blod paa Hænderne.
46 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: En Forsamling skal sammenkaldes imod dem, og de skal gives hen til at mishandles og udplyndres;
47 The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
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.
48 “‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
Jeg gør Ende paa Skændselen i Landet, og alle Kvinder skal lade sig advare derved og ikke efterligne eders Skændsel.
49 They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
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.
