Ezekiel 36
1 Men du menneskesøn, profeter om Israels bjerge og sig: Israels bjerge, hør Herrens ord.
And you, son of man, be a prophet about the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord:
2 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: "Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!"
This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:
3 derfor skal du profetere og sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi man har higet og snappet efter eder fra alle Sider, for at I skulde tilfalde Resten af Folkene som Ejendom, og fordi I er kommet i Folkemunde,
For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:
4 derfor, Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene, Højene, kløfterne og Dalene, til de øde Tomter og de forladte Byer, som er blevet til Rov og til Spot for Resten af Folkene rundt om,
For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:
5 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, i brændende Nidkærhed vil jeg tale mod Resten af Folkene og mod hele Edom, som med al Hjertets Glæde og Sjælens Ringeagt udså sig mit Land til Ejendom for at drive indbyggerne bort og gøre det til Rov.
For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:
6 Profeter derfor om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfteme og Dalene: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg faler i Nidkærhed og Harme, fordi I bærer Folkenes Hån.
For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:
7 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg løfter min Hånd og sværger: Sandelig, Folkene rundt om eder skal selv bære deres Hån.
For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.
8 Og I, Israels Bjerge, skal skyde Grene og bære Frugt for mit Folk Israel, thi de skal snart komme hjem.
But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.
9 Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsås;
For truly I am for you, and I will be turned to you, and you will be ploughed and planted:
10 jeg gør Mennesker, alt Israels Hus, mangfoldige på eder, Byerne skal bebos og Ruinerne genopbygges;
And I will let your numbers be increased, all the children of Israel, even all of them: and the towns will be peopled and the waste places will have buildings;
11 jeg gør Mennesker og Dyr mangfoldige på eder, ja de skal blive mangfoldige og frugtbare; jeg lader eder bebos som i fordums Tider og gør det bedre for eder end i Fortiden; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
Man and beast will be increased in you, and they will have offspring and be fertile: I will make you thickly peopled as you were before, and will do more for you than at the first: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
12 Jeg lader Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, færdes på eder; de skal tage dig i Eje, og du skal være deres Arvelod og ikke mere gøre dem barnløse.
Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.
13 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: "Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!"
This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;
14 derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.
15 Og jeg lader dig ikke mere høre Folkenes Hån, og du skal ikke mere bære Folkeslagenes Spot eller gøre dit Folk harnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.
16 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 Menneskesøn! Da Israels Slægt boedei deres Land, gjorde de det urent ved deres Færd og Gerninger; som en Kvindes renhed var deres Færd for mit Åsyn.
Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.
18 Så udøste jeg min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, de udgød i Landet, og fordi de gjorde det urent med deres Afgudsbilleder.
So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:
19 Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.
And I sent them in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries: I was their judge, rewarding them for their way and their acts.
20 Således kom de til Folkene: hvor de kom hen, vanærede de mit hellige Navn, idet man sagde om dem: "De der er HERRENs Folk, og dog måtte de ud af hans Land!"
And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.
21 Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.
But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.
22 Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Det er ikke for eders Skyld, jeg griber ind, Israels Hus, men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, som I har vanæret blandt de Folk, I kom til.
For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.
23 Jeg vil hellige mit store Navn, som vanæres blandt Folkene, idet I har vanæret det iblandt dem; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, når jeg helliger mig på eder for deres Øjne.
And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.
24 Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.
For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.
25 Da stænker jeg rent Vand på eder, så I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.
And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.
26 Jeg giver eder et nyt Hjerte, og en ny Ånd giver jeg i eders Indre; Stenhjertet tager jeg ud af eders Kød og giver eder et Kødhjerte.
And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.
27 Jeg giver min Ånd i eders Indre og virker, at I følger mine Vedtægter og tager Vare på at holde mine Lovbud,
And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.
28 I skal bo i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre, og I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.
29 Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenbed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.
And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.
30 Jeg mangfoldiggør Træernes Frugter og Markens Afgrøde, for at I ikke mere skal tage en Hungersnøds Skændsel på eder blandt Folkene.
And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.
31 Da skal I ihukomme eders onde Veje og eders Gerninger, som ikke var gode, og ledes ved eder selv over eders Misgerninger og Vederstyggeligheder.
And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.
32 Ikke for eders Skyld griber jeg ind, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, det være eder kundgjort! Skam jer og blues over eders Veje, Israels Hus!
Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.
33 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Den Dag jeg renser eder for alle eders Misgerninger, lader jeg Byerne bebos, og Ruinerne skal genopbygges;
This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I make you clean from all your evil-doings I will let the towns be peopled and there will be building on the waste places.
34 det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.
And the land which was waste will be farmed, in place of being a waste in the eyes of everyone who went by.
35 Da skal man sige: "Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og Byerne, som var omstyrtet, ødelagt og nedrevet, er befæstet og beboet."
And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.
36 Og Folkene, der er tilhage rundt om eder, skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har opbygget de nedrevne Byer og tilplantet det ødelagte Land; jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
Then the rest of the nations round about you will be certain that I the Lord am the builder of the places which were pulled down and the planter of that which was waste: I the Lord have said it, and I will do it.
37 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Også dette vil jeg gøre for Israels Hus på deres Bøn: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige som en Hjord af Mennesker;
This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.
38 som en Hjord af Offerdyr, som Jerusalems Fårehjorde på dets Højtider skal de omstyrtede Byer blive fulde af Menneskehjorde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
