Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man Speak unto the sons of thy people and thou shalt say unto them, A land—when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as watchman;
Du Menneskesøn! tal til dit Folks Børn, og sig til dem: Naar jeg skulde føre Sværd over et Land, og Folk i Landet toge een Mand iblandt sig og gjorde ham til deres Vægter,
3 And he shall see the sword coming upon the land, —and shall blow with the horn and warn the people
og han saa Sværdet komme over Landet og blæste i Trompeten og advarede Folket;
4 Then as for him who really heard the sound of the horn and took not warning, The sword indeed hath come and taken him away, — His blood, upon his own head shall remain: —
og den, som da hørte Trompetens Lyd, dog ikke vilde lade sig advare, og Sværdet kom og tog ham bort; Saa, skal hans Blod være over hans Hoved.
5 The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself shall remain, — Whereas had he taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered.
Han hørte Trompetens Lyd og lod sig ikke advare, hans Blod skal være over ham; men havde han ladet sig advare, vilde han have reddet sit Liv.
6 But as for the watchman-When he seeth the sword coming. And hath not blown with the horn. And the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come and taken away from among them any person he, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But his blood at the hand of the watchman will I require.
Men naar Vægteren saa Sværdet komme og ej blæste i Trompeten, og Folket ej advaredes, og Sværdet kom og tog en Sjæl bort af dem: Saa blev han vel borttagen for sin Misgernings Skyld, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af Vægterens Haand.
7 Thou therefore Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel, So then thou shalt hear at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
Og du, Menneskesøn! jeg har sat dig til Vægter for Israels Hus, at, naar du hører et Ord af min Mund, du skal advare dem paa mine Vegne.
8 When I say to the lawless man O lawless man thou shalt surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way He the lawless man for his iniquity shall die, But his blood- at thy hand- will I demand.
Naar jeg siger til den ugudelige: Du ugudelige skal visselig dø, og du ikke taler for at advare den ugudelige for hans Vej, da skal han, den ugudelige, vel dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
9 But as for thyself When thou hast warned a lawless man from his way, to turn therefrom, And he hath not turned from his way He, for his own iniquity shall die, But thou hast delivered thine own life,
Men naar du advarer den ugudelige for hans Vej, at han skal omvende sig derfra, og han, dog ikke omvender sig fra sin Vej, da skal han dø for sin Misgerning, men du skal have din Sjæl frelst.
10 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Say unto the house of Israel, Thus, have ye spoken saying: When our transgressions and our sins are upon us, —and for them, we are melting away How then can we live?
Og du Menneskesøn! sig til Israels Hus: I sige saaledes: Vore Overtrædelser og vore Synder ere over os, og vi hensvinde under dem; hvorledes kunne vi da leve?
11 Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live, - Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O house of Israel?
Sig til dem: Saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg har ikke Behag i den ugudeliges Død, men deri, at den ugudelige omvender sig fra sin Vej, at han maa leve; vender om, vender om fra eders onde Veje! hvorfor ville I dog dø, Israels Hus?
12 Thou, therefore, Son of man Say unto the sons of thy people— The righteousness of the righteous man, shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And as for the lawlessness of the lawless man, He shall not stumble thereby, in the day of his return from his lawlessness, - Nor shall the righteous man be able to live thereby, in the day of his sin.
Og du Menneskesøn! sig til dit Folks Børn: Den retfærdiges Retfærdighed skal ikke redde ham paa hans Overtrædelses Dag, og den ugudelige skal ikke falde for sin Ugudelighed paa den Dag, han omvender sig fra sin Ugudelighed, og den retfærdige skal ikke kunne leve derved, paa den Dag han synder.
13 When I say of the righteous man He shall surely live but he hath trusted in his righteousness and committed perversity None of his righteous deeds shall be mentioned, But by his perversity which he hath committed—thereby, shall he die.
Naar jeg siger om den retfærdige: Han skal visselig leve, og han forlader sig paa sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, da skal ingen af hans retfærdige Gerninger ihukommes; men han skal dø i sin Uretfærdighed, som han gjorde.
14 And when I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, but he shall turn from his sin, and do justice and righteousness:
Og naar jeg siger til den ugudelige: Du skal visselig dø, og han omvender sig fra sin Synd og gør Ret og Retfærdighed,
15 The debt-pledge, the lawless man shall restore Plunder, shall pay back, In the statutes of life, hath walked, so as not to commit perversity. He shall surely live he shall not die: —
saa at den ugudelige giver Pant tilbage, betaler det, han har røvet, vandrer efter Livets Bud og ikke gør Uret, da skal han visselig leve, han skal ikke dø.
16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be called to mind against him, — Justice and righteousness, hath he done He shall surely live.
Ingen af hans Synder, som han har begaaet, skal kommes ham i Hu; han har gjort Ret og Retfærdighed, han skal Visselig leve.
17 And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal!
Dog sige dit Folks Børn: Herrens Vej er ikke rigtig; men det er dem selv, hvis Vej ikke er rigtig.
18 When the righteous man shall turn from his righteousness and commit perversity Then shall he die for them;
Naar den retfærdige vender om fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, da skal han dø derfor.
19 But when the lawless man shall turn from his lawlessness, and do justice and righteousness Upon them, shall he live.
Og naar den ugudelige vender om fra sin Ugudelighed og gør Ret og Retfærdighed, da skal han leve derved.
20 And can ye then say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Every man—according to his own ways so will I judge you O house of Israel?
Og dog sige I: Herrens Vej er ikke rigtig; jeg skal dømme eder, Israels Hus! hver efter hans Veje.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month on the fifth of the month of our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem saying. Smitten is the city!
Og det skete i det tolvte Aar, i den tiende Maaned, paa deri femte Dag i Maaneden efter vor Bortførelse, da kom een til mig, som var undkommen fra Jerusalem, og sagde: Staden er indtagen.
22 Now the hand of Yahweh, had come unto me in the evening, before the coming of him who had escaped, and he had opened my mouth, by the time that he came to me in the morning, —so my mouth, was opened, and I was dumb no longer.
Og Herrens Haand var kommen over mig om Aftenen, før den undslupne kom, og han oplod min Mund, inden denne kom til mig om Morgenen; saa oplodes min Mund, og jeg var ikke ydermere stum.
23 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
24 Son of man These inhabitants of waste places on the soil of Israel are saying thus, One, was Abraham. Yet he inherited the land, - But, we, are many, To us, is the land given as an inheritance.
Du Menneskesøn! de, som bo paa disse øde Steder i Israels Land, sige saaledes: Abraham var een og ejede Landet, og vi ere mange, os er Landet givet til Ejendom.
25 Wherefore say unto them Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh. -With the blood, ye do eat. And your eyes, ye do lift up unto your manufactured gods. And blood, ye do shed; And the land, shall ye inherit?
Derfor sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: I æde Kød tillige med Blod og opløfte eders Øjne til eders Afguder og udøse Blod! og I skulle eje Landet!
26 Ye men have taken your stand by your sword. Ye women have wrought abomination, And every man—with the wife of his neighbour, have ye defiled yourselves; And the land, shall ye inherit?
I stole paa eders Sværd, I gøre Vederstyggeligheder og vanære hver sin Næstes Hustru; og I skulle eje Landet.
27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As I live, surely, they who are in the waste places by the sword, shall fall, And him who is on the face of the field to the wild beast, have I given to be devoured, - And they who are in the mountain holds and in the pits: by pestilence, shall die;
Saaledes skal du sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Saa sandt jeg lever, de, som ere paa de øde Steder, skulle falde for Sværdet, og den, som er paa Marken, ham har jeg givet til de vilde Dyr, at de skulle æde ham, og de, som ere i Fæstningerne og i Hulerne, skulle dø af Pest.
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, So shall be made to cease the pride of her strength, - And the mountains of Israel shall be too desolate for any to pass through.
Og jeg vil gøre Landet til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk, og dets Magts Stolthed skal ophøre; og Israels Bjerge skulle ligge øde, at ingen skal gaa over dem.
29 So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, — When I make the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Saa skulle de fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg gør Landet til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk, formedelst alle deres Vederstyggeligheder, som de have gjort.
30 Thou therefore Son of man, the sons of thy people who are talking against thee Near the walls and in the entrances of the houses, are speaking one with another, every man with his brother saying. Come in we pray you and heat, what is the word that is coming forth from Yahweh;
Og du Menneskesøn! dit Folks Børn tale indbyrdes om dig ved Væggene og i Husdørene, og den ene taler med den anden, hver med sin Broder, sigende: Kære, kommer og hører, hvad det er for et Ord, som udgaar fra Herren.
31 That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But, the words themselves, will they not do, — though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.
Og de skulle komme til dig, som et Folk kommer, og sidde for dit Ansigt som mit Folk, og de skulle høre dine Ord og ikke gøre efter dem; men det, der er behageligt i deres Mund, gøre de, og deres Hjerte gaar efter deres egen Fordel.
32 And lo! thou art to them— As a bewitching song, Of one with a beautiful voice. And skilfully touching the strings, —So will they hear thy words, And yet be going to do none of them.
Og se, du er dem som en behagelig Sanger, der har en dejlig Røst; og som kan spille smukt; derfor skulle de høre dine Ord, men dog ikke gøre efter dem.
33 But when it cometh Lo! it is coming, Then shall they know that a prophet hath been in their midst.
Men naar det kommer — se, det kommer! — da skulle de fornemme, at der har været en Profet midt iblandt dem.
