¹The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

¹HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

²Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Wail, Alas for the day!

²Menneskesøn, profeter og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jamrer: Ak, hvilken Dag!

³For the day is near, even the day of Yahweh is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

³Thi nær er Dagen, ja nær er HERRENs Dag; det bliver en Mulmets Dag, Hedningernes Tid.

⁴A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

⁴Et Sværd kommer over Ægypten, og Ætiopien gribes af Skælven, når de slagne segner i Ægypten, når dets Rigdom bortføres og dets Grundvolde nedbrydes.

⁵Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword.

⁵Ætioperne, Put og Lud og alt Blandingsfolket, Kub og min Pagts Sønner" skal falde for Sværdet med dem.

⁶Thus says Yahweh: They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁶Så siger HERREN: Alle, som støtter Ægypten, skal falde og dets stolte Herlighed synke sammen; fra Migdol til Syene skal de falde for Sværdet, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

⁷They shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

⁷Det skal lægges øde blandt øde Lande, og Byerne skal ligge hen blandt tilintetgjorte Byer;

⁸They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

⁸og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg sætter Ild på Ægypten og alle dets Hjælpere knuses.

⁹In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.

⁹På hin Dag skal der udgå Sendebud fra mig på Skibe for at indjage det sorgløse Ætiopien Rædsel, og de skal gribes af Skælven over Ægyptens Dag; thi se, den kommer.

¹⁰Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

¹⁰Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg gør Ende på Ægyptens Herlighed ved kong Nebukadrezar af Babel.

¹¹He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

¹¹Han og hans Folk med ham, de grummeste blandt Folkene, skal hentes for at ødelægge Landet; de skal drage deres Sværd mod Ægypten og fylde Landet med slagne.

¹²I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

¹²Jeg tørlægger Strømmene, sælger Landet til onde Folk, og ved fremmede ødelægger jeg det med alt, hvad der er deri. Jeg, HERREN, har talet.

¹³Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

¹³Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg tilintetgør Afgudsbillederne og udrydder Høvdingerne af Nof og Fyrsterne af Ægypten; de skal ikke findes mere; og jeg indjager Ægypten Rædsel.

¹⁴I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.

¹⁴Jeg lægger Patros øde, sætter Ild på Zoan og holder Dom over No.

¹⁵I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁵Jeg udøser min Vrede over Sin, Ægyptens Bolværk, og udrydder Nos larmende Hob.

¹⁶I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.

¹⁶Jeg sætter Ild på Ægypten, Syene skal skælve af Angst, der skal brydes Hul på No, og dets Mure skal nedrives.

¹⁷The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.

¹⁷De unge Mænd i On og Pibeset skal falde for Sværdet og Kvinderne vandre i Fangenskab.

¹⁸At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

¹⁸I Takpankes sortner Dagen, når jeg der sønderbryder Ægyptens Herskerstav, og dets stolte Herlighed får Ende der. Selv skal det skjules af Skyer og dets Småbyer vandre i Fangenskab.

¹⁹Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁹Jeg holder Dom over Ægypten; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

²⁰It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²⁰I det ellevte År på den syvende Dag i den første Måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:

²¹Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.

²¹Menneskesøn! Ægypterkongen Faraos Arm har jeg brudt; og se den skal ikke forbindes, ikke læges ved at der lægges Bind om den, så den kunde få Kræfter til atter at gribe Sværdet.

²²Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

²²Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og bryder hans Arme, både den hele og den brudte, og lader Sværdet falde af hans Hånd.

²³I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

²³Jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.

²⁴I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

²⁴Men jeg styrker Babels Konges Arme og lægger mit Sværd i hans Hånd; og jeg bryder Faraos Arme, og han skal stønne for ham på såredes Vis.

²⁵I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Egypt.

²⁵Jeg styrker Babels Konges Arme, men Faraos skal synke; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg lægger mit Sværd i Babels Konges Hånd og han svinger det imod Ægypten.

²⁶I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

²⁶Og jeg spreder Ægypterne blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
