Ezekiel 2
1 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! staa paa dine Fødder, at jeg kan tale med dig.
“Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
2 Og der kom Aand i mig, der han talte til mig, og den rejste mig op paa mine Fødder; og jeg hørte den, der talte til mig.
As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
3 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! jeg sender dig til Israels Børn, til de frafaldne Folk, som ere faldne fra mig; de og deres Fædre, de have gjort Overtrædelse imod mig indtil denne Dag.
“Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
4 Og disse Børn, haarde af Ansigt og stive af Hjerte — til dem sender jeg dig; og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre:
They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
5 Og de, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være (thi de ere et genstridigt Hus), skulle dog vide, at der har været en Profet midt iblandt dem.
Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
6 Og du Menneskesøn! frygt ej for dem, og frygt ej for deres Ord; thi de ere vel Nælder og Torne for dig, og du bor hos Skorpioner, men frygt ej for deres Ord, og lad dig ej forfærde for deres Ansigt; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
7 Og du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være; thi de ere genstridige.
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
8 Men du Menneskesøn! hør, hvad jeg taler til dig: Vær ikke genstridig som det genstridige Hus; oplad din Mund, og æd det, som jeg giver dig.
As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
9 Og jeg saa, og se, der var en Haand udrakt til mig, og se, der var en Bogrulle i den.
I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
10 Og han udbredte den for mit Ansigt, og den var beskreven paa begge Sider, og derudi var skrevet Klagemaal og Suk og Ve.
He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
