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.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat that you find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel.

2 Og jeg oplod min Mund, og han gav mig denne Rulle at æde.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

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, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

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, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with 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 are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard 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.

Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened 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.

But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

8 Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt haardt imod deres Ansigt og din Pande haard imod deres Pande.

Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against 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.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious 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!

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

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, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

12 Da løftede Aanden mig op, og jeg hørte bag mig et stort Bulders Røst: „Lovet være Herrens Herlighed‟, fra dens Sted;

Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be 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.

I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.

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.

So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong on 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.

Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelled by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

16 Og det skete, der syv Dage vare til Ende, da kom Herrens Ord til mig saaledes:

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that 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 to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning 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.

When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at 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.

Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your 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.

Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at 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.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your 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 there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk 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.

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on 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!

Then the spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within 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.

But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

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 make your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious 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 speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; He that hears, let him hear; and he that declines, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
