Ezekiel 34
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! spaa imod Israels Hyrder, spaa, og sig til dem, til Hyrderne: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ve Israels Hyrder, som ere deres egne Vogtere! skulle ikke Hyrderne være Faarenes Vogtere?
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD to the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
3 I æde Fedmen og klæde eder med Ulden, I slagte det fede, men Faarene vogte I ikke.
You eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill them that are fed: but you feed not the flock.
4 Det svage styrkede I ikke, og det syge lægede I ikke, og det, som havde lidt Brud, forbandt I ikke, og det fordrevne førte I ikke tilbage, og det, som var tabt, ledte I ikke efter; men med Haardhed og med Grumhed herskede I over dem.
The diseased have you not strengthened, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought again that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have you ruled them.
5 Og de bleve adspredte, fordi de havde ingen Hyrde, og de ere blevne til Føde for alle vilde Dyr paa Marken; saa bleve de adspredte.
And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
6 Mine Faar fare vild paa alle Bjergene og paa alle fremragende Høje, ja, mine Faar ere adspredte over det ganske Land, og der er ingen, som spørger, og ingen, som leder efter dem.
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my flock was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Derfor, I Hyrder, hører Herrens Ord!
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
8 Saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi mine Faar ere blevne til Rov, og mine Faar ere blevne til Føde for alle vilde Dyr paa Marken, eftersom de ingen Hyrde havde, og mine Hyrder ikke søgte mine Faar; men Hyrderne bleve deres egne Vogtere og vogtede ikke mine Faar:
As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9 Derfor, I Hyrder, hører Herrens Ord!
Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
10 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod Hyrderne og kræver mine Faar af deres Haand og lader dem blive fri for at vogte Faarene, saa Hyrderne ikke mere skulle være deres egne Vogtere; og jeg vil redde mine Faar af deres Mund, og de skulle ikke være dem til Føde.
Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, da vil jeg, jeg spørge efter mine Faar og se efter dem.
For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 Som en Hyrde ser efter sin Hjord paa den Dag, han er midt iblandt sine Faar, som ere adspredte, saaledes vil jeg se efter mine Faar og føre dem frelste hjem fra alle de Steder, hvorhen de vare adspredte paa Sky og Mørkhedsdag.
As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 Og jeg vil føre dem ud fra Folkene og samle dem fra Landene og føre dem ind i deres Land; og jeg vil vogte dem paa Israels Bjerge, i Dalene, og hvor de bo i Landet.
And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them on the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 Paa en god Græsgang vil jeg lade dem græsse, og deres Overdrev skal være paa Israels høje Bjerge; der skulle de ligge paa et godt Overdrev, og paa en fed Græsgang skulle de græsse over Israels Bjerge.
I will feed them in a good pasture, and on the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.
15 Jeg vil selv vogte mine Faar og selv lade dem hvile, siger den Herre, Herre.
I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord GOD.
16 Efter det, som er tabt, vil jeg lede, og det fordrevne vil jeg føre tilbage, og det, som har lidt Brud, vil jeg forbinde, og det syge vil jeg styrke, men det fede og det stærke vil jeg ødelægge, jeg vil vogte det med Retfærdighed.
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
17 Og I, mine Faar! saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg dømmer imellem Lam og Lam, imellem fædrene og Bukkene.
And as for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
18 Mon det er eder for lidet, at I afgræsse den gode Græsgang, saa at I skulle træde det, som bliver tilovers af eders Græsgang, ned med eders Fødder? eller at I drikke det klarede Vand, saa at I skulle plumre det, som bliver tilovers, med eders Fødder?
Seems it a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?
19 Og mine Faar — skylle de græsse paa det, som er nedtraadt med eders Fødder? eller drikke det, som er plumret med eders Fødder?
And as for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.
20 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre til dem: Se, jeg, jeg vil dømme imellem det fede Lam og imellem det magre Lam.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
21 Fordi I med Side og Bov støde og med eders Horn stange alle de svage, indtil I have faaet dem adspredte og jagede udenfor,
Because you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad;
22 derfor vil jeg frelse mine Faar, og de skulle ikke ydermere være til Rov, og jeg, vil dømme imellem Lam og Lam.
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 Og jeg vil lade een Hyrde staa frem for dem, og han skal vogte dem, nemlig min Tjener David; han, han skal vogte dem, og han skal være dem en Hyrde.
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 Og jeg Herren, jeg vil være deres Gud, og min Tjener David skal være en Fyrste midt iblandt dem; jeg Herren, jeg har talt det.
And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
25 Og jeg vil slutte med dem en Fredens Pagt og lade onde Dyr forsvinde af Landet, saa at de kunne bo tryggelig i Ørken og sove i Skovene.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26 Og jeg vil gøre dem og de Steder, som ere trindt omkring min Høj, til en Velsignelse; og jeg vil lade Regnen falde i rette Tid, det skal være Velsignelses Regnstrømme.
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
27 Og Træet paa Marken skal give sin Frugt, og Jorden skal give sin Grøde, og de skulle være trygge i deres Land, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg bryder deres Rykkende Aag og redder dem af deres Haand, som brugte dem til Trælle.
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
28 Og de skulle ikke ydermere være et Rov for Hedningerne, og intet vildt Dyr paa Jorden skal opæde dem; men de skulle bo tryggelig, og der skal ingen forfærde dem.
And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
29 Og jeg vil fremkalde en Plantning for dem til Navnkundighed, og de skulle ikke ydermere bortrives af Hunger i Landet og ej mere bære Hedningernes Forhaanelse.
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
30 Og de skulle fornemme, at jeg Herren, deres Gud, er med dem, og at de ere mit Folk, Israels Hus, siger den Herre, Herre.
Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.
31 Og I, mine Faar, min Græsgangs Faar, I ere Mennesker; jeg er eders Gud, siger den Herre, Herre.
And you my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the Lord GOD.
