Ezekiel 25

1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

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

Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Ammons Børn, og spaa imod dem,

3 Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh 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,

og sig til Ammons Børn: Hører den Herre, Herres Ord: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi du sagde: Ha ha! over min Helligdom, fordi den er vanhelliget, og over Israels Land, fordi det er ødelagt, og over Judas Hus, fordi de ere vandrede i Landflygtighed:

4 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.

Derfor se, jeg vil give dig til Ejendom for Østens Folk, og de skulle opslaa deres Teltbyer i dig og sætte deres Boliger i dig; de skulle æde din Frugt, og de skulle drikke din Mælk.

5 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 Yahweh.”

Og jeg vil gøre Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Børns Land til Faareleje; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

6 For the Lord Yahweh 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,

Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi du klappede i Haanden og stampede med Foden og glædede dig i al din Haan efter din Sjæls Lyst imod Israels Land:

7 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 Yahweh.”

Derfor se, jeg ud rækker min Haand imod dig og giver dig hen til Bytte for Folkene og udrydder dig af Folkeslægternes Tal og lader dig forsvinde af Lan dene; jeg vil ødelægge dig, og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

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

Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Moab og Sejr sige: Se, Judas Hus er ligesom alle Hedningerne:

9 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,

Derfor se, jeg vil aabne Moabs Side fra Stæderne af, fra dets Grænsestæder af, Landets Pryd, Beth-Jesimoth, Baal-Meon og Kirjathama,

10 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.

for Østens Børn tillige med Ammons Børns Land, og jeg vil give dem det til Ejendom, paa det man ikke skal ihukomme Ammons Børn iblandt Folkene;

11 I will execute judgments on Moab. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”

og jeg vil holde Ret over Moab, at de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

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

Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Edom tog en svar Hævn over Judas Hus og gjorde sig saare skyldig, da de hævnede sig paa dem:

13 therefore the Lord Yahweh 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.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg vil udrække min Haand over Edom og udrydde Mennesker og Kvæg deraf: Og jeg vil gøre det øde fra Theman af, og indtil Dedan skulle de falde ved Sværdet;

14 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 Yahweh.

og jeg vil føre min Hævn over Edom ved mit Folk Israels Haand, og de skulle gøre ved Edom efter min Vrede og efter min Fortørnelse, og de skulle kende min Hævn, siger den Herre, Herre.

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

Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Filisterne have taget Hævn og have hævnet sig svarlig i Haan efter deres Sjæls Lyst for at ødelægge med et evigt Fjendskab:

16 therefore the Lord Yahweh 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.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil udrække min Haand over Filisterne og udrydde Kreterne; og jeg vil tilintetgøre de overblevne ved Havets Strand;

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

og jeg vil tage en stor Hævn over dem med grumme Straffe, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg fører min Hævn over dem.
