Ezekiel 22
1 Herrens ord kom til mig således:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Blodbyen? Så forehold den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder
And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Byen, der udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Time skal komme, og laver sig Afgudsbilleder for at gøre sig uren.
And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her!
4 Ved dine egne Folks Blod, som du har udgydt, har du pådraget dig Skyld, og ved de Afgudsbilleder du har lavet, er du blevet uren; du har bragt din Time nær og hidført dine Års Frist. Derfor gør jeg dig til Hån for Folkene og til Spot for alle Lande;
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 fra nær og fjern skal man spotte dig, du, hvis Navn er skændet, og som er fuld af Larm.
Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one [and] full of tumult.
6 Se, Israels Fyrster optræder hver og een egenmægtigt i dig og udøser Blod.
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
7 Fader og Moder ringeagtes, den fremmede undertrykkes i dig, den faderløse og Enken lider Uret.
In thee have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of thee, have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 Mine hellige Ting agter du ringe og vanhelliger mine Sabbater.
Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
9 Du har Æreskændere i din Midte, som bagtaler, så der udøses Blod, og Folk, som spiser på Bjergene. Utugt går i Svang i din Midte;
Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood: and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.
10 i dig blottes Faderens Skam, og Kvinder krænkes i deres Urenheds Tid.
In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her separation.
11 Man øver Vederstyggelighed mod sin Næstes Hustru, man gør sin Sønnekone uren ved Utugt, man skænder i dig sin kødelige Søster.
And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12 I dig tager man Gave for at udøse Blod; du tager Åger og Opgæld, voldelig øver du Svig mod din Næste; og mig glemmer du, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
13 Men se, jeg slår Hænderne sammen over den uredelige Vinding, du har skaffet dig, og over det Blod, der er udøst i dig.
Behold, therefore, I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
14 Kan dit Hjerte holde Stand, kan dine Hænder være faste i de Dage, da jeg tager fat på dig? Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Jeg vil sprede dig blandt Folkene og udstrø dig i Landene og tage din Urenhed fra dig;
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
16 jeg vil lade mig vanære ved dig for Folkenes Øjne; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
17 Og HERRESs Ord kom til mig således:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de er alle blevet Kobber, Tin, Jern og Bly i Smelteovnen; Sølvslagger er de blevet.
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross unto me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I alle er blevet til Slagger, derfor vil jeg samle eder i Jerusalem;
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye are all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 som man samler Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Bly og Tin i en Smelteovn og blæser til Ilden for at smelte det, således vil jeg i min Vrede og Harme samle eder og kaste eder ind og smelte eder;
As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21 jeg vil samle eder og blæse min Vredes Ild op imod eder, så I smeltes deri.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shalt be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Som Sølv smeltes i Smelteovnen, skal I smeltes deri; og I skal kende, atjeg, HERREN, har udøst min Vrede over eder.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
23 Og HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Menneskesøn, sig til Landet: Du er et Land, der ikke får Regn og Byger på Vredens Dag,
Son of man, say unto her, thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 hvis Fyrster er som brølende Løver på Rov; de tilintetgør Sjæle, tilriver sig Gods og Guld, gør mange til Enker deri.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
26 Præsterne øver Vold mod min Lov, vanhelliger mine hellige Ting og gør ikke Skel mellem det, der er helligt, og det, der ikke er helligt, lærer ikke Forskel mellem rent og urent og lukker Øjnene for mine Sabbater, så jeg er blevet vanhelliget iblandt dem.
Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Fyrsterne er som Ulve på Rov: de er ivrige efter at udøse Blod og tilintetgøre Menneskeliv for at skaffe sig Vinding.
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey; to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 Profeterne stryger over med Kalk, idet de skuer Tomhed og varsler Løgn og siger: "Så siger den Herre HERREN!" uden at HERREN har talet.
And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
29 Det menige Folk øver Vold og går på Rov, den arme og fattige gør de Uret, og den fremmede undertrykker de imod Lov og Ret.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
30 Jeg søgte iblandt dem efter en, der vilde bygge en Mur og stille sig i Gabet for mit Åsyn til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the fence, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
31 Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, med min Harmes Ild tilintetgør jeg dem; deres Færd lader jeg komme over deres Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
