Ezekiel 12
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! du bor midt i det genstridige Hus, hos dem, som have Øjne at se med og se ikke, have Øren at høre med og høre ikke; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
“Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes to see but they don't see, and ears to hear but they don't hear, because they are rebellious people.
3 Derfor, du Menneskesøn! skaf dig Rejsetøj, og flyt ud om Dagen for deres Øjne; og flyt fra dit Sted til et andet Sted for deres Øjne, om de maaske vilde se det; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
So, son of man, go and pack your bags as if you're going into exile. As people watch, get everything ready during the day so you can leave where you are and go somewhere else. Maybe they will realize what this means, even though they are rebellious people.
4 Og du skal bringe dit Tøj ud som Rejsetøj om Dagen for deres Øjne; og du skal drage ud om Aftenen for deres Øjne, ligesom man drager ud, naar man vil udvandre.
Take your bags out for traveling into exile during the day while they watch. But you yourself are to leave in the evening as they watch, just like someone going into exile.
5 Du skal bryde dig Hul igennem Væggen for deres Øjne og føre det ud der igennem.
While they go on watching, knock down part of the wall of your house and take your belongings out through the hole.
6 Du skal tage det paa Skulderen for deres Øjne og føre det ud, naar det er mørkt; Du skal tilhylle dit Ansigt og ikke se Landet; thi jeg har sat dig til et Undertegn for Israels Hus.
When it gets dark, as they continue to watch, put your bags on your shoulder and carry them as you leave. Cover your face so that you can't see the country you're leaving behind, because I'm providing you as a sign to warn the people of Israel.”
7 Og jeg gjorde saaledes, som mig var befalet; jeg bar mit Tøj ud som Rejsetøj om Dagen; og om Aftenen brød jeg mig Hul igennem Væggen med Haanden; i Mørket førte jeg det ud, jeg tog det paa Skulderen for deres Øjne.
So I did as I was told. I took my bags out to go into exile during the day, and in the evening I knocked down part of the wall of my house with my bare hands. I took my belongings out when it got dark, carrying them on my shoulder while they watched.
8 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig om Morgenen, saaledes:
In the morning a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
9 Du Menneskesøn! har ikke Israels Hus, det genstridige Hus, sagt til dig, hvad gør du?
“Son of man, haven't those rebellious Israelites asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 Sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre. Herre: Denne Byrde gælder Fyrsten i Jerusalem og hele Israels Hus, iblandt hvilke disse ere.
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’
11 Sig: Jeg er et Undertegn for eder; som jeg har gjort, saaledes skal der gøres ved dem: De skulle bortføres, de skulle gaa i Fangenskab.
You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them—they will go into exile as prisoners.
12 Og Fyrsten, som er midt iblandt dem, skal læsse paa Skulderen i Mørket og vandre ud; igennem Væggen skulle de bryde Hul for at føre det ud der igennem; han skal tilhylle sit Ansigt, paa det han ikke skal se Landet med sine Øjne.
When it gets dark, their prince will also put his bags on his shoulder and leave. They will knock down the wall to take him away. He will cover his face so he can't see the country he's leaving behind.
13 Og jeg vil udbrede mit Garn over ham, og han skal fanges i mit Net; og jeg vil føre ham til Babel, til Kaldæernes Land; men dette skal han ikke skue, og han skal dø der.
But I will catch him in my net; I will trap him in my snare. I will take him to Babylon in the country of Babylonia. However, won't see it, and he'll die there.
14 Og alt, hvad der er trindt omkring ham, hans Hjælp og alle hans Hære, vil jeg sprede for alle Vinde og uddrage Sværdet efter dem.
I'm going to scatter all his attendants and all his troops in every direction, and I will chase after them with a drawn sword.
15 Saa skulle de fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg adspreder dem iblandt Hedningerne og udstrør dem over Landene.
They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the different nations and countries.
16 Men jeg vil lade nogle faa Folk af dem blive tilovers fra Sværd, fra Hunger og fra Pest, for at de skulle fortælle alle deres Vederstyggeligheder iblandt Hedningerne, hvor de komme hen, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
But I will let a few of them survive war, famine, and disease so that they can tell the nations where they're exiled about all their disgusting sins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
17 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Du Menneskesøn! du skal æde dit Brød med Bæven og drikke Vand med Uro og med Bekymring.
“Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water.
19 Og du skal sige til Folket i Landet: Saa siger den Herre, Herre til Jerusalems Indbyggere i Israels Land: De skulle æde deres Brød med Bekymring og drikke Vand med Forskrækkelse, fordi deres Land bliver øde og mister sin Fylde, formedelst alle dets Indbyggeres Voldsgerning.
Then explain to the people of this country that this is what the Lord God says to those living in Jerusalem and in the country of Israel: They will be worried as eat their bread and they will be in despair as they drink their water, for their land will be stripped bare because of the violent crimes committed by everyone who lives there.
20 Og Stæderne, som ere beboede, skulle ødelægges, og Landet vorde øde; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
The towns will be destroyed, and the countryside turned into a wasteland. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
21 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
22 Du Menneskesøn! hvad er dette for et Ordsprog, I have i Israels Land, naar der siges: Dagene trække ud, og ethvert Syn bliver til intet?
“Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?
23 Derfor sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg vil lade dette Ordsprog høre op, og de skulle ikke ydermere bruge det som et Ordsprog i Israel; men sig til dem: Dagene ere nær, og hvad hvert Syn udsiger.
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will put a stop to this proverb. No one in Israel will quote it anymore.’ Instead tell them: The time is soon coming when every vision will come true.
24 Thi der skal ikke ydermere være noget tomt Syn eller nogen falsk Spaadom i Israels Hus.
There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites,
25 Thi jeg er Herren, jeg taler det Ord, som jeg taler, og det skal ske, det skal ej forhales længere; thi i eders Dage, du genstridige Hus! taler jeg et Ord og fuldkommer det, siger den Herre, Herre.
because I, the Lord, will say whatever I choose to say, and it will happen immediately. Right now, you rebellious people, I will say something and make sure it happens, declares the Lord God.”
26 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
An additional message from the Lord came to me, saying,
27 Du Menneskesøn! se, Israels Hus siger: Det Syn, som denne ser, skal ske efter mange Aar, og han spaar om Tider, som ere langt borte.
“Son of man, notice what the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he's describing won't happen for a long time. He's prophesying about a time in the distant future.’
28 Derfor sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Der skal ikke eet af alle mine Ord forhales længere; det Ord, som jeg taler, det skal og ske, siger den Herre, Herre.
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Everything I've said is about to happen. There won't be any more delay, declares the Lord God.”
