Ezekiel 3
1 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! æd det, som du her modtager; æd denne Rulle, og gak hen, tal til Israels Hus.
And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
2 Og jeg oplod min Mund, og han gav mig denne Rulle at æde.
And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
3 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! Du skal bespise din Bug og fylde dine Indvolde med denne Rulle, som jeg giver dig; og jeg aad, og den var sød i min Mund som Honning.
And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
4 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! gak hen, kom til Israels Hus, og tal mine Ord til dem!
And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
5 Thi du er ikke sendt til et Folk med et uforstaaeligt og vanskeligt Tungemaal, men til Israels Hus;
For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
6 ikke til mange Folk med et uforstaaeligt og vanskeligt Tungemaal, hvis Ord du ikke kan forstaa; men jeg sender dig til dem, som kunne forstaa dig.
and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
7 Men Israels Hus skal ikke ville høre dig; thi de ville ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har haarde Pander og stive Hjerter.
Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
8 Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt haardt imod deres Ansigt og din Pande haard imod deres Pande.
Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
9 Jeg gør din Pande som en Demant, haardere end en Klippe; du skal ikke frygte for dem og ej forfærdes for deres Ansigt; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
10 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! alle mine Ord, som jeg taler til dig, annam dem i dit Hjerte, og hør dem med dine Øren!
And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
11 Og gak hen, kom til de bortførte, til dit Folks Børn, og tal til dem, og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre — hvad enten de lyde eller lade være.
And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
12 Da løftede Aanden mig op, og jeg hørte bag mig et stort Bulders Røst: „Lovet være Herrens Herlighed‟, fra dens Sted;
And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
13 og Lyden af hine levende Væseners Vinger, som berørte den ene den anden, og Lyden af Hjulene ved Siden af dem og et stort Bulders Lyd.
and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
14 Og en Aand opløftede mig og tog mig bort, og jeg for hen, bitter i min Aands Harme; men Herrens Haand var stærk over mig.
Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
15 Og jeg kom til de bortførte til Tel-Abib, til dem, som boede ved Floden Kebar, og der, hvor de boede, blev jeg siddende i syv Dage, stum midt iblandt dem.
And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
16 Og det skete, der syv Dage vare til Ende, da kom Herrens Ord til mig saaledes:
Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 Du Menneskesøn! jeg har sat dig til en Vægter for Israels Hus, og du skal høre Ord af min Mund og advare dem paa mine Vegne.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
18 Naar jeg siger til den ugudelige: Du skal visselig dø, og du ikke advarer ham og ikke taler for at advare den ugudelige for hans ugudelige Vej, for at frelse hans Liv: Da skal den ugudelige selv dø i sin Misgerning, og jeg vil kræve hans Blod af din Haand.
If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
19 Men naar du har advaret den ugudelige, og han dog ikke omvender sig fra sin Ugudelighed og fra sin ugudelige Vej, da skal han dø i sin Misgerning, men du har din Sjæl frelst.
But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
20 Og naar en retfærdig vender sig bort fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, og jeg lægger Anstød for hans Ansigt, skal han dø; fordi du ikke har advaret ham, skal han dø i sin Synd, og hans retfærdige Gerninger, som han har gjort, skulle ikke ihukommes; og hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
21 Men naar du har advaret den retfærdige, at den retfærdige ikke maa synde, og han ikke synder, da skal han visselig leve; thi han lod sig advare, og du har din Sjæl frelst.
But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
22 Og Herrens Haand var over mig der, og han sagde til mig: Staa op, gak ud i Dalen, og der vil jeg tale med dig.
And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23 Og jeg stod op og gik ud i Dalen, og se, der stod Herrens Herlighed ligesom den Herlighed, hvilken jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar; og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.
And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
24 Og der kom Aand i mig og rejste mig op paa mine Fødder, og han talte med mig og sagde til mig: Gak hen, luk dig inde i dit Hus!
And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
25 Og du Menneskesøn! se, de skulle lægge Reb paa dig og binde dig med dem, at du ikke kan gaa ud midt iblandt dem.
And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
26 Og jeg vil lade din Tunge hænge ved din Gane, at du skal være stum og ikke være dem en Mand, som straffer; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
27 Men naar jeg taler til dig, vil jeg aabne din Mund, og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Hvo, der vil høre, han høre! og hvo, der vil lade være, han lade være! thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
