Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom i det niende Aar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
Menneskesøn, opskriv dig Navnet paa denne Dag, Dagen i Dag, thi netop i Dag har Babels Konge kastet sig over Jerusalem.
3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour 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 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.
læg Kødstykker i, alle Haande gode Stykker, Kølle og Bov, fyld den med udsøgte Knogler;
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
tag af Hjordens bedste Dyr og læg en Stabel Brænde under den; kog Stykkerne, saa ogsaa Knoglerne koges ud!
6 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for 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 the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She didn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it 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 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.”
For at fremkalde Vrede, for at tage Hævn hældte jeg Blodet paa den nøgne Klippe uden at dække det.
9 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen! Nu vil ogsaa jeg gøre brændestabelen stor;
10 Heap on the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burned.
hent brænde i Mængde, lad Ilden lue og Kødet blive mørt, hæld Suppen ud og lad Benene brændes
11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may 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 She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
Møje har den kostet, men den megen Rust gik ikke af. I Ilden med Rusten!
13 “‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
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, Yahweh, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
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 Also Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
16 “Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run 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 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”
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 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Tal saa om Morgenen til Folket! — Saa døde min Hustru om Aftenen, og næste Morgen gjorde jeg, som mig var paalagt.
19 The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
Og da Folket sagde til mig: »Vil du ikke lade os vide, hvad det, du der gør, skal sige os?«
20 Then I said to them, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
svarede jeg: »HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind 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 You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
Og I skal gøre, som jeg nu gør: I skal ikke tilhylle eders Skæg eller spise Sørgebrød;
23 Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
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 Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”’”
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 “You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—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 that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
paa den Dag skal en Flygtning komme til dig og melde det for dine Ører;
27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
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.
