Ezekiel 22
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Then the word of Yahweh 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 city of blood? Make her know 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.
You must say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: This is a city that pours out blood in her midst so that her time may come; a city that makes idols to make herself 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 have become guilty by the blood that you have poured out, and you have become unclean by the idols that you have made. You have drawn your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you a reproach to the nations and a laughingstock to all the lands.
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!
Both those who are near and those who are far away from you will mock you—you unclean city—with the reputation known everywhere as being full of confusion.
6 Se, Israels Fyrster, hver efter sin Arms Styrke, vare hos dig for at udøse Blod.
Behold! The rulers of Israel, each one by his own power, have come to you to pour out 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.
They have dishonored fathers and mothers within you, and they have performed oppression on the foreigners in your midst. They have mistreated the orphans and the widows within you.
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.
Slanderous men have come within you in order to pour out blood, and they eat on the mountains. They perform wickedness in your midst.
10 Man har blottet en Faders Blusel hos dig; man har krænket Kvinden i hendes Svaghed hos dig.
Within you men uncover the nakedness of their father. Within you they have violated unclean women during their menstrual period.
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.
Men who commit abominations with their neighbors' wives, and men who make their own daughters-in-law shamefully unclean; men who abuse their own sisters—daughters of their own fathers—all these are done within you.
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.
These men take bribes within you in order to pour out blood and you have taken interest and gained too much profit, and you have damaged your neighbors through oppression, and you have forgotten me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
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! With my hand I have struck the dishonest gain that you have made, and the bloodshed that is done in the midst 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.
Will your heart stand, will your hands be strong on the days when I myself will deal with you? I, Yahweh, am declaring this, and I will do it.
15 Og jeg vil adsprede dig iblandt Hedningerne og strø dig over Landene og bortskaffe din Urenhed fra dig,
So I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the lands. In this way, I will purge your uncleanness from you.
16 Og du skal være vanhelliget ved dig selv for Hedningernes Øjne og fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
So you will become unclean in the eyes of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
17 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Next the word of Yahweh 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 has become dross to me. All of them are the leftovers of bronze and tin, and iron and lead in the midst of you. They will be like the dross of silver in your furnace.
19 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre, fordi I alle ere blevne til Slagger, derfor se, jeg vil samle eder midt i Jerusalem.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because all of you have become like dross, therefore, behold! I am about to gather you into the midst 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 men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead and tin and put it inside a furnace to melt it, and they blow the fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and my wrath, and I will put you there and melt you.
21 Ja, jeg vil samle eder og oppuste min Vredes Ild over eder, og I skulle smeltes derinde.
I will gather you and blow on you the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the midst of 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 is melted in a furnace, you will be melted in it, and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you!'”
23 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
The word of Yahweh 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 that has not been cleansed. There is no rain on 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.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst, like a roaring lion tearing apart a victim. They consume life and take precious wealth; they make many widows within 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 do violence to my law, and they profane my holy things. They do not distinguish between holy things and profane things, and do not teach the difference between the unclean and the clean. They hide their eyes from my Sabbaths so that I am profaned in their midst.
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 within her are like wolves tearing apart their victims. They pour out blood and destroy life, to make a profit dishonestly.
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.
Her prophets have painted them over with whitewash; they see false visions and predict falsehoods to them. They say “The Lord Yahweh says this” when Yahweh 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 oppressed through extortion and plundered through robbery, and they mistreat the poor and needy, and oppress the foreigner without justice.
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.
So I searched for a man from them who would build up a wall and who would stand before me in its breach for the land so I would not destroy it, but I found 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.
So I will pour out my indignation upon them. I will finish them with the fire of my indignation and set their way on their own heads—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
