3 Sig til Israels Land: Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig og drager mit Sværd af Skedn for at udrydde både retfærdige og gudløse af dig.
3 and say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am against you; and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
7 Og når de spørger: "Hvorfor stønner du?" så svar: "Over en Tidende; thi når den kommer, skal hvert Hjerte smelte, alle Hænder synke, hver Ånd sløves og alle Knæ flyde som Vand. Se, den kommer, den fuldbyrdes, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN."
7 And when they say to you, ‘Why do you groan?’ you shall say, ‘Because of the news that is coming; and every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes and it will happen,’ declares the Lord God.”
12 Råb og vånd dig, Menneskesøn! Thi det kommet over mit Folk, over alle Israels Fyrster; sammen med mit Folk er de givet til Sværdet. Derfor slå dig på Hoften!
12 Cry out and wail, son of man; for it is against My people, it is against all the officials of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with My people, therefore strike your thigh.
14 0g du, Menneskesøn, profeter og slå Hænderne sammen, gør Sværdet som to, ja, gør det som tre! Det er et dræbende Sværd, den store Hednings Sværd; indjag dem Rædsel dermed,
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword for the slain. It is the sword for the great one slain, which surrounds them,
15 at deres Hjerter må ængstes og mange må falde ved alle Porte. Jeg sætter dig til at slagte, du Sværd, som er gjort til at lyne, hvæsset til Slagtning.
15 that their hearts may melt, and many fall at all their gates. I have given the glittering sword. Ah! It is made for striking like lightning, it is wrapped up in readiness for slaughter.
19 Du, Menneskesøn, afsæt dig to Veje, ad hvilke Babels konges Sværd skal komme, således at begge udgår fra et og samme Land; og opstil en Vejviser der, hvor de to Byveje skilles,
19 “As for you, son of man, make two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come; both of them will go out of one land. And make a signpost; make it at the head of the way to the city.
21 Thi Babels Konge står på Vejskellet, hvor de to Veje skilles, for at tage Varsler; han ryster Pilene", rådspørger Husguderne, ransager Leveren.
21 For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shakes the arrows, he consults the household idols, he looks at the liver.
22 I sin højre holder han Loddet "Jerusalem", at han skal åbne Munden til Skrig og løfte Røsten til Krigsråb, rejse Stormbukke mod Portene, opkaste Stormvold og bygge Belejringstårne.
22 Into his right hand came the divination, ‘Jerusalem,’ to set battering rams, to open the mouth for slaughter, to lift up the voice with a battle cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up ramps, to build a siege wall.
24 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I bringer eders Brøde i Minde, idet eders Overtrædelser åbenbares, så eders Synder bliver synlige i alt, hvad I gør, fordi I bringer eder i Minde ved dem, skal I fanges.
24 “Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your deeds your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you will be seized with the hand.
28 Du, Menneskesøn, profeter således: Så siger den Herre HERREN om Ammoniterne og deres Hån! Og sig: Et Sværd, et Sværd er draget til at slagte hvæsset til at udsende Lyn,
28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God concerning the sons of Ammon and concerning their reproach,’ and say: ‘A sword, a sword is drawn, polished for the slaughter, to cause it to consume, that it may be like lightning—
29 medens man skuer dig Tomhed og spår dig Løgn, for at det skal lægges på de gudløse Hedningers Hals, hvis Time slår, når deres Misgerning er fuldmoden.
29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you—to place you on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, in the time of the punishment of the end.
31 Jeg vil udøse min Vrede over dig, blæse min Harmes Ild op imod dig og give dig i grumme Menneskers Hånd, som er Mestre i at tilintetgøre.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and I will give you into the hand of brutal men, skilled in destruction.
