Ezekiel 22
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Moreover 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!
Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yes, you shall show her all her abominations.
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.
Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the middle of it, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
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 become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking 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 that be near, and those that be far from you, shall mock you, which are infamous and much vexed.
6 Se, Israels Fyrster, hver efter sin Arms Styrke, vare hos dig for at udøse Blod.
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in you to their power to shed blood.
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 have they set light by father and mother: in the middle of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
8 Du foragtede mine Helligdomme og vanhelligede mine Sabbater.
You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
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 are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in the middle of you they commit lewdness.
10 Man har blottet en Faders Blusel hos dig; man har krænket Kvinden i hendes Svaghed hos dig.
In you have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in you have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
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 one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in you has humbled 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 have they taken gifts to shed blood; you have taken usury and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
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.
Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the middle of 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.
Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken 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 scatter you among the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and will consume your filthiness out of you.
16 Og du skal være vanhelliget ved dig selv for Hedningernes Øjne og fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
And you shall take your inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and you shall know 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 house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the middle of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
19 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre, fordi I alle ere blevne til Slagger, derfor se, jeg vil samle eder midt i Jerusalem.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the middle of 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 gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
21 Ja, jeg vil samle eder og oppuste min Vredes Ild over eder, og I skulle smeltes derinde.
Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the middle therof.
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 is melted in the middle of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the middle thereof; and you shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury 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 the land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.
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.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the middle thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the middle thereof.
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 violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned 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 princes in the middle thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
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 daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the LORD has not spoken.
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 used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
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 sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
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.
Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed on their heads, says the Lord GOD.
