Ezekiel 13

1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Du Menneskesøn! spaa imod Israels Profeter, dem, som spaa, og sig til dem, som ere Profeter efter deres eget Hjertes Kald: Hører Herrens Ord!

“Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you shall say to those who prophesy from their own heart: Hear the word of the Lord:

3 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ve over de daarlige Profeter, som gaa efter deres egen Aand og efter det, som de ikke have set.

Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, and who see nothing.

4 Som Ræve i Ørken ere dine Profeter blevne, o Israel!

Your prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.

5 I stillede eder ikke op for Gabet og murede ikke Muren op om Israels Hus for at kunne holde Stand i Krigen paa Herrens Dag.

You have not gone up against the adversary, and you have not established a wall for the house of Israel, so as to stand in battle on the day of the Lord.

6 Deres Syner ere Forfængelighed og løgnagtig Spaadom, naar de sige: „Herren siger det‟, skønt Herren ikke har sendt dem, og de haabe dog, at Ordet skal stadfæstes.

They see emptiness, and they foretell falsehoods, saying, ‘The Lord says,’ though the Lord has not sent them. And they continued to affirm what they said.

7 Have I ikke skuet forfængeligt Syn og udsagt løgnagtig Spaadom, naar I sige: „Herren siger det‟, skønt jeg ikke har talt?

Have you not seen a futile vision and spoken a lying divination? And yet you say, ‘The Lord says,’ though I have not spoken.

8 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi eders Tale er Forfængelighed og eders Syn Løgn, derfor se, jeg kommer til eder, siger den Herre, Herre;

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have spoken emptiness and have seen falsehoods, therefore: behold, I am against you, says the Lord God.

9 og min Haand skal være imod de Profeter, som have forfængelige Syner, og som spaa Løgn; de skulle ikke være i mit Folks Raad og ikke indskrives i Israels Hus's Bog, ej heller komme til Israels Land; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er den Herre, Herre.

And my hand will be over the prophets who are seeing emptiness and divining lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, and they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel. Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

10 Fordi, ja fordi de forførte mit Folk ved at sige: Fred! og der var ikke Fred; og dette opfører en Væg, og se, de stryge den an med løs Kalk,

For they have deceived my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ and there is no peace. And they have built a wall, but they have covered it in clay without straw.

11 saa sig til dem, som anstryge med løs Kalk, at den maa falde af: Der kommer en overskyllende Regn, og I Hagelstene! falder ned, og et Stormvejr bryde løs!

Say to those who spread mortar without mixing, that it will fall apart. For there will be an inundating rain, and I will cause full-grown hailstones to rush down from above, and a windstorm to dissipate it.

12 Og se, naar Væggen er falden, mon der da ikke skal siges til eder: Hvor er Anstrygningen, med hvilken I have anstrøget den?

So then, behold: when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you: ‘Where is the mortar with which you covered it?’

13 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg vil lade et Stormvejr bryde løs i min Harme, og der skal komme en overskyllende Regn i min Vrede og Hagelstene i min Harme til at fuldende det.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: And I will cause a violent wind to burst forth in my indignation, and there will be an inundating rain in my fury, and great hailstones in wrath, to consume.

14 Og jeg vil nedbryde Væggen, som I have anstrøget med løs Kalk, og styrte den til Jorden, og dens Grundvold skal blottes; og den skal falde, og I skulle omkomme derudi og fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

And I will destroy the wall that you have covered without tempering it. And I will level it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed. And it will fall and be consumed in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

15 Og jeg vil fuldkomme min Harme paa Væggen og paa dem, som have anstrøget den med løs Kalk; og jeg vil sige til eder: Borte er Væggen, og borte ere de, som anstrøge den,

And I will fulfill my indignation against the wall, and against those who cover it without mixing the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and those who covered it are no more:

16 nemlig Israels Profeter, de, som spaaede om Jerusalem, og de, som saa Syner om Fred for den, skønt der ingen Fred var, siger den Herre, Herre.

the prophets of Israel, who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord God.

17 Og du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod dit Folks Døtre, dem, som ere Profetinder efter deres eget Hjertes Kald, og spaa imod dem!

And as for you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy from their own heart. And prophesy about them,

18 Og du skal sige: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ve de Kvinder, som sy Puder om alle mine Armled, og som gøre Hætter til Hoveder af al Slags Vækst for at fange Sjæle! mit Folks Sjæle fange I og ville dog holde eders egne Sjæle i Live?

and say: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to those who sew together little pillows under every forearm, and who make little cushions for the heads of every stage of life, in order to capture souls. And when they have seized the souls of my people, they became the life of their souls.

19 Og I vanhellige mig for mit Folk for nogle Haandfuld Byg og for nogle Stykker Brød for at dræbe Sjæle, som ikke skulde dø, og for at holde Sjæle i Live, som ikke skulde leve, idet I lyve for mit Folk, for dem, som høre paa Løgn?

And they violated me among my people, for the sake of a handful of barley and a fragment of bread, so that they would kill the souls that should not die, and enliven the souls that should not live, lying to my people who believe in falsehoods.

20 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod eders Puder, ved hvilke I fange, idet jeg lader Sjælene flyve ud; og jeg vil rive dem af eders Arme og udlade de Sjæle, hvilke I have fanget, ja, Sjælene til at flyve ud.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your little pillows, with which you catch flying souls. And I will tear them away from your arms. And I will release the souls that you are capturing, the souls that should fly.

21 Og jeg vil sønderrive eders Hætter og redde mit Folk af eders Haand, og de skulle ikke mere være i eders Haand til et Bytte; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

And I will tear away your little cushions. And I will free my people from your hand. And they shall no longer be a prey in your hands. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

22 Fordi I ved Løgn gjorde den retfærdiges Hjerte forsagt, skønt jeg ikke havde bedrøvet det, og styrkede den ugudeliges Hænder, saa at han ikke omvendte sig fra sin onde Vej, at jeg kunde holde ham i Live:

For by deception you have caused the heart of the just to grieve, whom I would not sadden. And I have strengthened the hands of the impious, so that he would not be turned back from his evil way and live.

23 Derfor skulle I ikke have forfængelige Syner og ikke drive eders Spaadomskunst ydermere; og jeg vil redde mit Folk af eders Haand, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

Therefore, you shall not see emptiness, and you shall not divine divinations, any more. And I will rescue my people from your hand. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
