¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

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

²Mennesskesøn, vend dit Ansigt imod Ammoniterne, profeter imod dem

³and tell the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, 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:

³og sig til dem: Hør den Herre HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du råbte "Ha, ha!" over min Helligdom, da den vanhelligedes, og over Israels Land, da det lagdes øde, og over Judas Hus, da de vandrede i Landflygtighed,

⁴therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

⁴se, derfor giver jeg dig i Eje til Østens Sønner; de skal opslå deres Teltlejre og indrette deres Boliger i dig; de skal spise din Frugt og drikke din Mælk.

⁵I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁵Jeg gør Rabba til Græsgang for Kameler og Ammons Byer til Lejrsted for Småkvæg; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

⁶For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land of Israel;

⁶Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi du klappede i Hænderne og stampede med Fødderne og med dyb Ringeagt godtede dig af Hjertet over Israels Land,

⁷therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁷se, derfor udrækker jeg Hånden imod dig og gør dig til Rov for Folkene; jeg udrydder dig af Folkeslagene, udsletter dig af Landene og tilintetgør dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

⁸Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations;

⁸Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Moab siger: "Se, det er med Judas Hus som med alle de andre Folk!"

⁹therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

⁹se, derfor lægger jeg Moabs Skrænter åbne, så Byerne går tabt fra dets ene Ende til den anden, Landets Pryd, Bet Jesjimot, Baal-Meon og Hirjatajim.

¹⁰to 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.

¹⁰Østens Sønner giver jeg det i Eje, for at det ikke mere skal ihukommes blandt Folkene.

¹¹and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹¹Jeg holder Dom over Moab; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

¹²Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them;

¹²Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Edom optrådte hævngerrigt mod Judas Hus og pådrog sig svar Skyld ved at hævne sig på dem,

¹³therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, 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; even to Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

¹³derfor, så siger den Herre HEEREN: Jeg udrækker Hånden mod Edom og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf og gør det øde; fra Teman til Dedan skal de falde for Sværdet.

¹⁴I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁴Jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn på Edom ved mit Folk Israels Hånd, og de skal handle med Edom efter min Vrede og Harme, og Edom skal kende min Hævn, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

¹⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;

¹⁵Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Filisterne optrådte hævngerrigt og med Foragt i Hjertet tog Hævn og hærgede i endeløst Had,

¹⁶therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, 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.

¹⁶derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg udrækker Hånden mod Filisterne og udrydder kreterne, og jeg tilintetgør, hvad der er levnet ved Havets Strand.

¹⁷I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.

¹⁷Jeg tager vældig Hævn oer dem og revser dem i Vrede; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg fuldbyrder min Hævn på dem.
