¹It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹I det tolvte År på den første dag i den tolvte måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:

²Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are as a monster in the seas; and you broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.

²Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over Farao, Ægyptens Konge, og sig til ham: Du Folkenes Løve, det er ude med dig! Du var som en Drage i Havet med prustende Næse, med Fødderne plumred du Vandet, oproded dets Strømme.

³Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.

³Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg breder mit Garn over dig ved en Sværm af mange Folk, de skal drage dig op i mit Net.

⁴I will leave you on the land, I will cast you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.

⁴Jeg kaster dig på Land og slænger dig hen på Marken, lader alle Himlens Fugle slå sig ned på dig og al Jordens Dyr blive mætte ved dig.

⁵I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.

⁵Jeg lægger dit Kød på Bjergene, fylder Dalene op med dit Ådsel,

⁶I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.

⁶vander med dit Udflåd Jorden lige til Bjergene, Kløfterne skal fyldes af dit Blod.

⁷When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

⁷Jeg skjuler Himlen, når du slukkes, klæder dens Stjerner i Sorg, jeg skjuler Solen i Skyer, og Månen skinner ej mer.

⁸All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁸Alle Himmellys klæder jeg i Sorg for dig, hyller dit Land i Mørke, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

⁹I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

⁹Jeg volder mange Folkeslags Hjerter Kvide, når jeg bringer dine Fanger til Folkene, til Lande du ikke kender;

¹⁰Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

¹⁰jeg lader mange Folkeslag stivne af Rædsel over dig, og deres Konger skal gyse over dig, når jeg svinger mit Sværd for deres Ansigter; de skal ængstes uafbrudt, hver for sit Liv, den Dag du falder.

¹¹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.

¹¹Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Babels Konges Sværd skal komme over dig.

¹²By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.

¹²Jeg styrter din Hob ved Heltes Sværd, de grummeste af alle Folkene; de hærger Ægyptens Pragt, og al dets Hob lægges øde.

¹³I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.

¹³Jeg udrydder alt dets kvæg ved de mange Vande, Menneskefod skal ej plumre dem mer, ej Dyreklov rode dem op;

¹⁴Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁴så lader jeg Vandene klares og Strømmene flyde som Olie - lyder det fra den Herre HERREN -

¹⁵When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁵når jeg gør Ægypten til Ørk, så Landet og dets Fylde er øde, når jeg nedhugger alle, som bor der, så de kender, at jeg er HERREN.

¹⁶This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁶Dette er en Klagesang, som du skal kvæde; Folkenes Kvinder skal kvæde den; over Ægypten og al dets larmende Hob skal de kvæde den, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

¹⁷It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁷I det tolvte År på den femtende Dag i..." Måned kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:

¹⁸Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.

¹⁸Menneskesøn, klag over Ægyptens larmende Hob; syng Klagesang over den, du og Folkenes Kvinder! Far ned i Underverdenen blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet!

¹⁹Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

¹⁹Er du lifligere end nogen anden? Stig ned og lig blandt de uomskårne!

²⁰They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.

²⁰Midt iblandt sværdslagne skal han segne, og al hans larmende Hob skal ligge hos ham.

²¹The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. with those who help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

²¹Heltenes Førere skal tale til ham midt i Dødsriget: "Er du mægtigere end nogen anden? Stig ned og lig blandt de uomskårne!"

²²Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;

²²Der er Assur og hele hans Flok rundt om hans Grav; alle er de dræbt, faldet for Sværd;

²³whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.

²³han fik sin Grav i en krog af Dybet, og hans Flok ligger rundt om hans Grav; alle er de dræbt, faldet for Sværd, de, som spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land.

²⁴There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.

²⁴Der er Elam med al sin larmende Hob rundt om sin Grav; alle er de dræbt, faldet før Sværd, og de for uomskårne ned i Underverdenen, de, som spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land; nu bærer de deres Skændsel blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet.

²⁵They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.

²⁵Iblandt dræbte fik han et Leje med al sin larmende Hob rundt om sin Grav; alle er de uomskårne, sværdslagne; thi Rædsel for dem bredte sig i de levendes Land; nu bærer de deres Skændsel blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet; de lagdes blandt dræbte.

²⁶There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are around them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.

²⁶Der er Mesjek og, Tubal med al deres larmende Hob rundt om deres Grave; alle er de uomskårne, sværdslagne; thi de spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land;

²⁷They shall not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

²⁷de kom ikke til at ligge hos Heltene, Fortidens Kæmper, som for til Dødsriget i deres Rustninger, hvis Sværd blev lagt under deres Hoveder, og hvis Skjolde dækkede deres knogler; thi Rædsel for Heltene rådede i de levendes Land.

²⁸But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.

²⁸Også du skal ligge knust imellem de uomskårne, blandt de sværdslagne.

²⁹There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.

²⁹Der er Edom med sine Konger og alle sine Fyrster, som fik deres Grave hos de sværdslagne; hos de uomskårne ligger de, hos dem, der steg ned i Dybet.

³⁰There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

³⁰Der er Nordens Herskere alle sammen og alle Zidoniere, som for ned til de dræbte, beskæmmede trods den Rædsel, de spredte ved deres Heltekraft; de ligger uomskårne blandt de sværdslagne, de bærer deres Skændsel blandt dem, der steg ned i Dybet.

³¹Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

³¹Dem ser Farao og trøster sig over al sin larmende Hob, lyder det fra HERREN.

³²For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.

³²Thi han spredte Rædsel i de levendes Land, men nu ligger han imellem uomskårne, blandt de sværdslagne, Farao med al sin larmende Hob, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
