< Ezekiel 2 >
1 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! staa paa dine Fødder, at jeg kan tale med dig.
He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet; then I will speak to you.”
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.
Then, as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard 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.
He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me—both they and their ancestors have sinned against me up to this very day!
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:
Their descendants have stubborn faces and hard hearts. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh 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.
Either they will listen or they will not listen. They are a rebellious house, but they will at least know that a prophet has been among 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.
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, although you are with briers and thorns and although you live with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be dismayed by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.
7 Og du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være; thi de ere genstridige.
But you will speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, because they are most rebellious.
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.
But you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give to you!”
9 Og jeg saa, og se, der var en Haand udrakt til mig, og se, der var en Bogrulle i den.
Then I looked, and a hand was extended out to me; in it was a written 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 before me; it had been written on both its front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning, and woe.
