Ezekiel 22
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Og du Menneskesøn! vil du dømme, vil du dømme den blodskyldige Stad? ja, kundgør den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder!
And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.
3 Og du skal sige: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Det er en Stad, som udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Tid skal komme, og som gør sig Afguder til at besmitte sig ved.
And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!
4 Du er bleven skyldig ved dit Blod, som du har udøst, og har besmittet dig med de Afguder, som du har gjort, saa at du bragte dine Dage til at nærme sig og naaede dine Aar: Derfor har jeg gjort dig til Forhaanelse iblandt Hedningerne og til Spot for alle Landene.
You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.
5 Baade de, som ere nær, og de, som ere langt fra dig, skulle spotte dig, du med det besmittede Navn og med den store Forstyrrelse!
Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.
6 Se, Israels Fyrster, hver efter sin Arms Styrke, vare hos dig for at udøse Blod.
See, the rulers of Israel, every one in his family, have been causing death in you.
7 Man ringeagtede Fader og Moder hos dig, man handlede med Vold imod den fremmede i din Midte, man forfordelte den faderløse og Enken hos dig.
In you they have had no respect for father and mother; in you they have been cruel to the man from a strange land; in you they have done wrong to the child without a father and to the widow.
8 Du foragtede mine Helligdomme og vanhelligede mine Sabbater.
You have made little of my holy things, and have made my Sabbaths unclean.
9 Bagvadskere var der hos dig, paa det de kunde udøse Blod; og man holdt Maaltid paa Bjergene hos dig, man gjorde skændige Ting i din Midte.
In you there are men who say evil of others, causing death; in you they have taken the flesh with the blood for food; in your streets they have put evil designs into effect.
10 Man har blottet en Faders Blusel hos dig; man har krænket Kvinden i hendes Svaghed hos dig.
In you they have let the shame of their fathers be seen; in you they have done wrong to a woman at the time when she was unclean.
11 Og man har bedrevet Vederstyggelighed med sin Næstes Hustru, og man har vanæret sin Sønnekone med Skændsel, og man har krænket sin Søster, sin Faders Datter, hos dig.
And in you one man has done what was disgusting with his neighbour's wife; and another has made his daughter-in-law unclean; and another has done wrong to his sister, his father's daughter.
12 De toge Skænk hos dig for at udøse Blod; du tog Aager og Overgivt og forfordelte din Næste ved Undertrykkelse, men mig glemte du, siger den Herre, Herre.
In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.
13 Og se, jeg har slaaet mine Hænder sammen over din Vinding, som du har gjort dig, og for din Blodskyld, som er i din Midte.
See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.
14 Mon dit Hjerte skal kunne holde Stand? mon dine Hænder skulle beholde Styrke paa de Dage, naar jeg vil handle med dig? jeg, Herren, jeg har talt det og vil gøre det.
Will your heart be high or your hands strong in the days when I take you in hand? I the Lord have said it and will do it.
15 Og jeg vil adsprede dig iblandt Hedningerne og strø dig over Landene og bortskaffe din Urenhed fra dig,
And I will send you in flight among the nations and wandering among the countries; and I will completely take away out of you everything which is unclean.
16 Og du skal være vanhelliget ved dig selv for Hedningernes Øjne og fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
17 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Du Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de ere alle Kobber og Tin og Jern og Bly midt i en Ovn, Sølvslagger ere de blevne.
Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.
19 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre, fordi I alle ere blevne til Slagger, derfor se, jeg vil samle eder midt i Jerusalem.
For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.
20 Ligesom man samler Sølv og Kobber og Jern og Bly og Tin midt i en Ovn for at oppuste Ild derover, til at smelte det: Saaledes vil jeg samle eder i min Vrede og i min Harme og lægge eder ind og smelte eder.
As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.
21 Ja, jeg vil samle eder og oppuste min Vredes Ild over eder, og I skulle smeltes derinde.
Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.
22 Ligesom Sølv smeltes midt i en Ovn, saa skulle I smeltes i dens Midte, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg, Herren, jeg har udøst min Harme over eder.
As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.
23 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 Du Menneskesøn! sig til det: Du er et Land, som ikke er renset, som ikke har faaet Regn paa Vredens Dag.
Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.
25 Dets Profeter have sammensvoret sig i dets Midte, de ere som en brølende Løve, der røver Rov; de fortære Sjæle, tage Gods og dyrebare Ting, gøre mange til Enker derudi.
Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.
26 Dets Præster forgribe sig paa min Lov og vanhellige mine Helligdomme, de gøre ingen Forskel imellem helligt og vanhelligt, og Forskellen imellem rent og urent gøre de ikke bekendt; og de lukke deres Øjne for mine Sabbater, og jeg vanhelliges midt iblandt dem.
Her priests have been acting violently against my law; they have made my holy things unclean: they have made no division between what is holy and what is common, and they have not made it clear that the unclean is different from the clean, and their eyes have been shut to my Sabbaths, and I am not honoured among them.
27 Dets Fyrster i dets Midte ere som Ulve, der røve Rov, saa at de udøse Blod, ødelægge Sjæle for at gøre sig Vinding.
Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.
28 Og dets Profeter anstryge dem med løs Kalk, idet de bringe dem forfængelige Syner og spaa Løgn for dem, sigende: „Saa siger den Herre, Herre‟; skønt Herren ikke har talt.
And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.
29 Folket i Landet undertrykke de ved Vold, de røve Rov og forfordele den elendige og fattige og undertrykke den fremmede tværtimod Ret.
The people of the land have been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.
30 Og jeg ledte efter en Mand iblandt dem, som vilde gærde et Gærde og staa i Gabet for mit Ansigt til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.
31 Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, jeg gør Ende paa dem i min Fortørnelses Ild; jeg lader deres Vej falde tilbage paa deres Hoved, siger den Herre, Herre.
And I let loose my passion on them, and have put an end to them in the fire of my wrath: I have made the punishment of their ways come on their heads, says the Lord.
