Ezekiel 3

1 Så sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, slug hvad du her har for dig, slug denne Bogrulle og gå så hen og tal til Israels Hus!"

And He says to me, “Son of man, eat that which you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”

2 Så åbnede jeg Munden, og han lod mig sluge Bogrullen

And I open my mouth, and He causes me to eat this scroll.

3 og sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Lad din Bug fortære den Bogrulle, jeg her giver dig, og fyld dine Indvolde dermed!" Og jeg slugte den, og den var sød som Honning i min Mund.

And He says to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you”; and I eat it, and it is as honey for sweetness in my mouth.

4 Så sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, gå til Israels Hus og tal mine Ord til dem!

And He says to me, “Son of man, go forth, go to the house of Israel, and you have spoken to them with My words.

5 Thi du sendes til Israels Folk, ikke til et Folk med dybt Mål og tungt Mæle,

For you [are] not sent to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue—to the house of Israel;

6 ikke til mange Hånde Folkeslag med dybt Mål og tungt Mæle, hvis Tale du ikke fatter, hvis jeg sendte dig til dem, vilde de høre dig.

not to many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words you do not understand. If I had not sent you to them—they listen to you,

7 Men Israels Hus vil ikke høre dig, thi de vil ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har hårde Pander og stive Hjerter.

but the house of Israel are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.

8 Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt hårdt som deres Ansigter og din Pande hård som deres Pander;

Behold, I have made your face strong against their face, and your forehead strong against their forehead.

9 som Diamant, hårdere end Flint gør jeg din Pande. Frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt!"

As an adamant, harder than a rock, I have made your forehead; do not fear them, nor are you frightened before them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”

10 Videre sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, alle mine Ord, som jeg taler til dig, skal du optage i dit Hjerte og høre med dine Ører;

And He says to me, “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, receive with your heart, and hear with your ears;

11 og gå så hen til dine landflygtige Landsmænd og tal til dem og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN! - hvad enten de så hører eller ej!"

and go forth, go to the expulsion, to the sons of your people, and you have spoken to them, and have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; whether they hear, or whether they refrain.”

12 Så løftede Ånden mig, og jeg hørte bag mig Larmen af et vældigt Jordskælv, da HERRENs Herlighed hævede sig fra sit Sted,

And a spirit lifts me up, and I hear a noise behind me, a great rushing—“Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH from His place!”

13 og Suset af de levende Væseners Vinger, der rørte hverandre, og samtidig Lyden af Hjulene og Larmen af Jordskælvet.

Even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels alongside them, even a noise of a great rushing.

14 Og Ånden løftede mig og førte mig bort, og jeg vandrede bitter og gram i Hu, idet HERRENs Hånd var over mig med Vælde.

And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and takes me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of YHWH [is] strong on me.

15 Så kom jeg til de landflygtige i Tel-Abib, de, som boede ved Floden Kebar, og der sad jeg syv Dage iblandt dem og stirrede hen for mig.

And I come to the expulsion, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell [for] seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.

16 Syv Dage senere kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:

And it comes to pass, at the end of seven days,

17 Menneskesøn! Jeg sætter dig til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.

that there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, I have given you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you have heard a word from My mouth, and have warned them from Me.

18 Når jeg siger til den gudløse: "Du skal visselig dø!" og du ikke advarer ham eller for at bevare hans Liv taler til ham om at omvende sig fra sin gudløse Vej, så skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.

In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from your hand.

19 Advarer du derimod den gudløse, og han ikke omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og sin Vej, så skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.

And you, because you have warned the wicked, and he has not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he dies in his iniquity, and you have delivered your soul.

20 Og når en retfærdig vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, og jeg lægger Anstød for ham, så han dør, og du ikke har advaret ham, så dør han for sin Synd, og den Retfærdighed, han har øvet, skal ikke tilregnes ham, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.

And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, he dies in his sin, and his righteousness that he has done is not remembered, and I require his blood from your hand.

21 Har du derimod advaret den retfærdige mod at synde, og han ikke synder, så skal samme retfærdige leve, fordi han lod sig advare, og du har reddet din Sjæl.

And you, because you have warned him—the righteous—that the righteous does not sin, and he has not sinned, he surely lives, because he has been warned; and you have delivered your soul.”

22 Siden kom HERRENs Hånd over mig der, og han sagde til mig: "Stå op og gå ud i dalen, der vil jeg tale med dig!"

And there is a hand of YHWH on me there, and He says to me, “Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I speak with you.”

23 Så stod jeg op og gik ud i Dalen, og se, der stod HERRENs Herlighed, som jeg havde set denved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt.

And I rise and go forth to the valley, and behold, there the glory of YHWH is standing as the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.

24 Men Ånden kom i mig og rejste mig på mine Fødder. Så taIede han til mig og sagde: Gå hjem og luk dig inde i dit Hus!

And [the] Spirit comes into me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and He speaks with me, and says to me, “Go in, be shut up in the midst of your house.

25 Og du, Menneskesøn, se, man skal lægge Bånd på dig og binde dig, så du ikke kan gå ud iblandt dem;

And you, son of man, behold, they have put thick bands on you, and have bound you with them, and you do not go forth in their midst;

26 og din Tunge lader jeg hænge ved Ganen, så du bliver stum og ikke kan være dem en Revser; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

and I cause your tongue to cleave to your palate, and you have been mute, and are not for a reprover to them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.

27 Men når jeg taler til dig, vil jeg åbne din Mund, og du skal sige til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN! Så får den, der vil høre, høre, og den, der ikke vil, får lade være; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

And in My speaking with you, I open your mouth, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; the hearer hears, and the refrainer refrains; for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
