Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying:
HERRENS Ord kom i det niende Aar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, write for yourself the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon was confirmed against Jerusalem today.
Menneskesøn, opskriv dig Navnet paa denne Dag, Dagen i Dag, thi netop i Dag har Babels Konge kastet sig over Jerusalem.
3 And you shall speak, through a proverb, a parable to the inciting house. And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Set out a cooking pot; set it out, I say, and put water into it.
Og tal i Lignelse til den genstridige Slægt og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Sæt Kedelen over, sæt den over; kom ogsaa Vand deri;
4 Pile together within it every morsel, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, the choice pieces and those full of bones.
læg Kødstykker i, alle Haande gode Stykker, Kølle og Bov, fyld den med udsøgte Knogler;
5 Take the fattest from the flock, and arrange also a heap of bones under it. Its cooking has boiled over, and its bones in its midst have been thoroughly cooked.
tag af Hjordens bedste Dyr og læg en Stabel Brænde under den; kog Stykkerne, saa ogsaa Knoglerne koges ud!
6 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Woe to the city of blood, to the cooking pot that has rust in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Cast it out piece by piece! No lot has fallen upon it.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen, den rustne Kedel, hvis Rust ikke er gaaet af. Stykke efter Stykke giver den fra sig; der kastes ikke Lod om dem;
7 For her blood is in her midst; she has shed it upon the smoothest rock. She has not shed it upon the ground, so that it could be covered with dust.
thi Blodet er endnu midt i Byen; den hældte det paa den nøgne Klippe og udgød det ikke paa Jorden for at dække det med Muld.
8 So shall I bring my indignation over her, and take my vengeance. I have presented her blood upon the smoothest rock, so that it would not be covered.
For at fremkalde Vrede, for at tage Hævn hældte jeg Blodet paa den nøgne Klippe uden at dække det.
9 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Woe to the city of blood, out of which I will make a great funeral pyre.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen! Nu vil ogsaa jeg gøre brændestabelen stor;
10 Pile together the bones, which I will burn with fire. The flesh shall be consumed, and the entire composition shall be boiled, and the bones shall deteriorate.
hent brænde i Mængde, lad Ilden lue og Kødet blive mørt, hæld Suppen ud og lad Benene brændes
11 Also, place it empty on burning coals, so that it may be heated, and its brass may melt. And let the filth of it be melted in its midst, and let its rust be consumed.
og sæt Kedelen tom paa de glødende Kul, for at den kan blive saa hed, at Kobberet gløder og Urenheden smelter; Rusten skal svinde!
12 There has been much sweat and labor, and yet its extensive rust has not gone out of it, not even by fire.
Møje har den kostet, men den megen Rust gik ikke af. I Ilden med Rusten!
13 Your uncleanness is execrable. For I wanted to cleanse you, and you have not been cleansed from your filth. So then, neither will you be cleansed before I cause my indignation over you to cease.
Fordi du er uren af Utugt, fordi du ikke kom af med din Urenhed, skønt jeg rensede dig, skal du ikke blive ren igen, før jeg har kølet min Harme paa dig.
14 I, the Lord, have spoken. It shall happen, and I will act. I will not pass over, nor be lenient, nor be placated. I will judge you according to your ways and according to your intentions, says the Lord.”
Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og det kommer! Jeg griber ind og opgiver det ikke, jeg skaaner ikke og angre ej heller; efter dine Veje og dine Gerninger vil jeg dømme dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
16 “Son of man, behold, I am taking away from you, with a stroke, the desire of your eyes. And you shall not lament, and you shall not weep. And your tears shall not flow down.
Menneskesøn! Se, jeg tager dine Øjnes Lyst fra dig ved en brat Død; men du skal ikke klage eller græde; du skal ikke fælde Taarer;
17 Groan silently; you shall make no mourning for the dead. Let the band of your crown be on you, and let your shoes be on your feet. And you shall not cover your face, nor shall you eat the food of those who mourn.”
suk i Stilhed og hold ikke Døde klage, bind Huen paa og tag Sko paa Fødderne, tilhyl ikke dit Skæg og spis ikke Sørgebrød!
18 Therefore, I spoke to the people in the morning. And my wife died in the evening. And in the morning, I did just as he had instructed me.
Tal saa om Morgenen til Folket! — Saa døde min Hustru om Aftenen, og næste Morgen gjorde jeg, som mig var paalagt.
19 And the people said to me: “Why won’t you explain to us what these things signify, which you are doing?”
Og da Folket sagde til mig: »Vil du ikke lade os vide, hvad det, du der gør, skal sige os?«
20 And I said to them: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
svarede jeg: »HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will defile my sanctuary, the pride of your realm, and the desire of your eyes, and the dread of your soul. Your sons and your daughters, whom you have forsaken, will fall by the sword.’
Sig til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil vanhellige min Helligdom, eders Hovmods Stolthed, eders Øjnes Lyst, eders Sjæles Længsel; og de Sønner og Døtre, I lod tilbage, skal falde for Sværdet!
22 And so, you shall do just as I have done. You shall not cover your faces, and you shall not eat the food of those who mourn.
Og I skal gøre, som jeg nu gør: I skal ikke tilhylle eders Skæg eller spise Sørgebrød;
23 You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet. You shall not lament, and you shall not weep. Instead, you will waste away in your iniquities, and each one will groan to his brother.
eders Huer skal blive paa Hovederne og eders Sko paa Fødderne; I skal ikke klage eller græde, men svinde hen i eders Synder og sukke for hverandre.
24 ‘And Ezekiel shall be a portent for you. In accord with all that he has done, so shall you do, when this will happen. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.’”
Ezekiel skal være eder et Tegn; naar det sker, skal I gøre, som han gør; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN, «
25 “And as for you, son of man, behold, in the day when I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their dignity, and the desire of their eyes, in which their souls find rest: their sons and their daughters,
Og du, Menneskesøn! Paa den Dag jeg tager deres Værn, deres herlige Fryd, deres Øjnes Lyst og deres Sjæles Længsel, deres Sønner og Døtre fra dem,
26 in that day, when one who is fleeing will come to you, so that he may report to you,
paa den Dag skal en Flygtning komme til dig og melde det for dine Ører;
27 in that day, I say, your mouth shall be opened to him who has fled. And you shall speak, and you shall no longer be silent. And you shall be for them a portent. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
paa den Dag skal din Mund aabnes, naar Flygtningen kommer, og du skal tale og ikke mere være stum; du skal være dem et Tegn; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
