1HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
1And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
2Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Seirs Bjergland og profeter imod det
2`Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3og sig til det: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Seirs Bjergland, og løfter min Hånd imod dig; jeg gør dig til Ørk og Ødemark,
3and thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment.
4dine Byer lægger jeg i Grus. Du selv skal blive til Ørk og kende, at jeg er HERREN.
4Thy cities a waste I make, and thou art a desolation, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.
5Fordi du nærede evigt Had og i Nødens Stund overgav Israeliterne til Sværdet, da deres Misgerning var fuldmoden,
5Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:
6derfor, så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør dig til Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig; sandelig, du forbrød dig ved Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig.
6Therefore, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee.
7Jeg gør Seirs Bjergland til Ørk og Ødemark og udrydder deraf enhver, som kommer og går;
7And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,
8jeg fylder dets Bjerge med dræbte; på dine Høje og i dine Dale og Kløfter skal de sværdslagne falde.
8And filled his mountains with his wounded, Thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.
9Jeg gør dig til Ørk for evigt, dine Byer skal ikke bebos; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
9Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
10Fordi du sagde: "De tvende Folk og de tvende Lande skal tilhøre mig, jeg vil tage dem i Eje!" skønt HERREN var der,
10Because of thy saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And Jehovah hath been there;
11derfor, så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil gøre med dig efter den Vrede og det Nid, du hadefuldt udviste imod dem, og jeg vil give mig til Hende for dig, når jeg dømmer dig;
11Therefore, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I have done according to thine anger, And according to thine envy, With which thou hast wrought, Because of thy hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge thee.
12og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN. Jeg har hørt al den Spot, du udslyngede mod Israels Bjerge: "De er ødelagt, os er de givet til Føde!"
12And thou hast known that I — Jehovah, I have heard all thy despisings that thou hast spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying: A desolation, to us they were given for food.
13Du gjorde dig stor imod mig med din Mund og overfusede mig med Ord; jeg hørte det.
13And ye magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made abundant against Me your words, I — I have heard.
14Så siger den Herre HERREN: Som det var din Glæde, at mit Land blev Ørk, således vil jeg gøre med dig;
14Thus said the Lord Jehovah: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, A desolation I make of thee.
15som det var din Glæde, at Israels Huss Arvelod blev Ørk, således vil jeg gøre med dig. Ørk skal du blive, Seirs Bjergland og hele Edom med; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
15According to thy joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to thee — a desolation thou art, O mount Seir, and all Edom — all of it, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
