Ezekiel 11
1 Then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that looketh toward the east; and behold, at the entrance of the gate were five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Så løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig til Herrens huses østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg så iblandt dem Jaazanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.
2 Then said He to me: These are the men that devise mischief, and form evil designs in this city;
Og han sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser på Uret og lægger onde Råd op i denne By,
3 who say, “The time is not near that we should build houses. This city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.”
idet de siger: "Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!"
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!
Profeter derfor imod dem, profeter, Menneskesøn!
5 And the spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said to me, Speak: Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel! For I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
Så faldt HERRENs Ånd på mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Så siger HERREN: Således taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Ånd.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain, whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but you will I bring forth out of the midst of it.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: De, som I dræbte og henslængte i dens Midte, de er Kødet, og Byen er Gryden; men eder vil jeg føre ud af den.
8 Ye have feared the sword, and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments upon you.
Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Hånd, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.
10 Ye shall fall by the sword; on the borders of Israel will I judge you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
For Sværd skal I falde; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder. Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. On the borders of Israel will I judge you,
Byen skal ikke være eder en Gryde, og I skal ikke være Kødet deri; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder.
12 that ye may know that I am Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, and whose ordinances ye have not observed, but have done according to the manners of the nations, that are round about you.
Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, hvis Vedtægter I ikke fulgte, og hvis Lovbud I ikke levede efter, hvorimod I levede efter eders Nabofolks Lovbud. -
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah, wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Men medens jeg profeterede således, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt og råbte med høj Røst: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?"
14 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Så kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy near kindred, and the whole house of Israel, are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, “Remove ye far from Jehovah; to us is the land given in possession!”
Menneskesøn! Dine Brødre, dine Medfanger og alt Israels Hus, alle de, om hvem Jerusalems Indbyggere siger: "De er langt borte fra HERREN, os er Landet givet i Eje!" -
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Though I have cast them far off among the nations, and scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them as a sanctuary for a short time in the countries whither they are come.
derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Måde var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the nations, and assemble you from the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Men derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil samle eder sammen fra Folkeslagene og sanke eder op i Landene, hvor I er spredt, og give eder Israels Jord.
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away from thence all the detestable things thereof, and all the abominations thereof.
Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take out of them the heart of stone, and will give them a heart of flesh,
jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Ånd; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and observe my ordinances, and keep them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
for at de må følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Så skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
21 But as for them whose heart walketh according to the pleasure of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Men hines Hjerter holder sig til deres væmmelige Guder og deres Vederstyggeligheder; dem gengælder jeg deres Færd, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
22 Then did the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Så løftede keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
23 And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Og HERRENs Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig på Bjerget østen for.
24 Then the spirit took me up, and brought me to Chaldaea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God. And the vision which I had seen went up from me.
Derpå løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Ånd i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.
25 Then I spake to them of the captivity all the words of Jehovah which he had showed me.
Så kundgjorde jeg de landflyggige alle de Ord, HERREN havde åbenbaret mig.
