Ezekiel 36

1 Og du Menneskesøn! spaa imod Israels Bjerge og sig: I Israels Bjerge! hører Herrens Ord!

But thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord.

2 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi Fjenden sagde: Ha, ha! over eder, og: De evige Høje ere blevne os til Ejendom!

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the enemy hath said regarding you, Aha, even the ancient high-places are become ours as a possession:

3 derfor spaa, og sig: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi, ja, fordi man ødelægger og søger at opsluge eder trindt omkring fra, for at I kunne vorde en Ejendom for Levningen af Hedningerne, og fordi I ere komne paa Læber og Tunger og i ondt Rygte iblandt Folk,

Therefore prophesy and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report of the people:

4 derfor, Israels Bjerge, hører den Herres, Herrens Ord: Saa siger den Herre, Herre til Bjergene og til Højene, til Strømmene og til Dalene, til de ødelagte Ørkener og til de forladte Stæder, som ere blevne Levningerne af de omkringboende Hedninger til Rov og til Spot.

Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins, and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about:

5 Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Sandelig, jeg har talt i min brændende Nidkærhed imod Levningen af Hedningerne og imod det ganske Edom, hvilke selv have givet sig mit Land til Ejendom med Glæde af fuldt Hjerte, med Haan ud af Sjælen, for at rane det som et Bytte.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.

6 Derfor spaa om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene og til Højene, til Strømmene og til Dalene: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, i min Nidkærhed og min Harme har jeg talt, efterdi I have baaret Hedningernes Forhaanelse,

Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, In my zealousness and in my fury have I spoken, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations:

7 derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg har opløftet min Haand paa, at Hedningerne, som ere trindt omkring eder, selv skulle bære deres Forhaanelse.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I have indeed lifted up my hand, that the nations who are round about you— these shall bear their shame.

8 Men I, Israels Bjerge! skulle udskyde eders Grene og bære eders Frugt for mit Folk Israel; thi de ere nær ved at komme frem.

But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall send forth your boughs, and your fruit shall ye bear for my people Israel, for they are near at hand to come.

9 Thi se, jeg kommer til eder og vender mit Ansigt til eder, og I skulle dyrkes og besaas.

For, behold, I will be for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and ye shall be sown;

10 Og jeg vil gøre Menneskene paa eder mangfoldige, hele Israels Hus alt sammen, og Stæderne skulle blive beboede, og de ødelagte Stæder skulle opbygges.

And I will multiply upon you men, all the house of Israel— altogether; and the cities shall be inhabited again, and the ruins shall be rebuilt;

11 Ja, jeg vil gøre Mennesker og Kvæg paa eder mangfoldige, og de skulle formere sig og være frugtbare; og jeg vil lade eder blive beboede som i eders gamle Tider og gøre eder mere godt end i eders første Tider; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

And I will multiply upon you men and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your old estates, and will do more good unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Og jeg vil lade Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, vandre paa eder, og de skulle eje dig, og du skal være dem til Arv, og du skal ikke blive ved at gøre dem barnløse.

Yea, I will cause to walk upon you men, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be unto them as an inheritance, and thou shalt not any more henceforth cast them out.

13 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Efterdi de sige til eder: Du har fortæret Mennesker, og du har gjort dine Folk Ramløse,

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast been one that hath ever cast out thy nations:

14 derfor skal du ikke ydermere fortære Mennesker og ej ydermere bringe dit Folk til at falde, siger den Herre, Herre.

Therefore shalt thou not devour up men any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

15 Og jeg vil ikke ydermere lade dig høre Hedningernes Bespottelse, og du skal ikke ydermere bære Folkenes Forhaanelse og ikke ydermere bringe dine Folk til at falde, siger den Herre, Herre.

And I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

16 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

17 Du Menneskesøn! Israels Hus boede i deres Land, og de besmittede det ved deres Vej og ved deres Gerninger; som Urenheds Besmittelse var deres Vej for mit Ansigt.

Son of man, the house of Israel, when they dwelt in their own land, defiled it through their way and through their doings: like the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was their way before me.

18 Og jeg udøste min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, som de havde udøst i Landet, og fordi de havde besmittet det ved deres Afguder.

And I poured out my fury over them because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because through their idols they had polluted it;

19 Og jeg adspredte dem iblandt Hedningerne, og de bleve udstrøede i Landene; jeg dømte dem efter deres Vej og efter deres Gerninger.

And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings did I judge them.

20 Og der de vare komne til Hedningerne, hvorhen de kom, da vanhelligede de mit hellige Navn, at man sagde om dem: Disse ere Herrens Folk, og de ere uddragne af hans Land.

And when they were come unto the nations, whither they were gone, they profaned my holy name; because they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and out of his land are they gone forth.

21 Men det gjorde mig ondt for mit hellige Navns Skyld, hvilket Israels Hus vanhelligede iblandt Hedningerne, hvor de kom hen.

But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone.

22 Derfor sig til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg gør det ikke for eders Skyld, Israels Hus! men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, hvilket I have vanhelliget iblandt Hedningerne, hvor I kom hen.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone.

23 Og jeg vil helliggøre mit store Navn, som er vanhelliget iblandt Hedningerne, hvilket I have vanhelliget midt iblandt dem; og Hedningerne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, siger den Herre, Herre, naar jeg helliggør mig paa eder for deres Øjne.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your eyes.

24 Og jeg vil tage eder fra Hedningerne og samle eder ud fra alle Landene og lade eder komme til eders Land.

And I will take you from among the nations, and I will gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you unto your own land.

25 Og jeg vil stænke rent Vand over eder, og I skulle blive rene; fra alle eders Urenheder og fra alle eders Afguder vil jeg rense eder.

And I will sprinkle upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 Og jeg vil give eder et nyt Hjerte og give en ny Aand inden i eder, og jeg vil borttage Stenhjertet af eders Kød og give eder et Kødhjerte.

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

27 Og jeg vil sende min Aand inden i eder og gøre, at I skulle vandre efter mine Skikke og holde mine Bud og gøre hefter dem.

And my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, and do them.

28 Og I skulle bo i Landet, som jeg har givet eders Fædre, og I skulle være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.

And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be unto me for a people, and I truly will be unto you as a God.

29 Og jeg vil holde eder fri fra alle eders Urenheder, og jeg vil kalde paa Kornet og gøre det mangfoldigt og ikke sende Hunger over eder.

And I will save you from all kinds of your impurities; and I will call unto the corn, and increase it, and I will not lay famine upon you.

30 Og jeg vil gøre Frugten paa Træerne og Grøden paa Marken mangfoldig, paa det I ikke ydermere skulle tage imod Forhaanelse for Hungers Skyld iblandt Hedningerne.

And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the products of the field: in order that ye may receive no more reproach on account of famine among the nations.

31 Da skulle I komme eders onde Veje i Hu og eders Idrætter, som ikke vare gode, og I skulle væmmes over eder selv for eders Misgerninger og for eders Vederstyggeligheder,

Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of your abominations.

32 At jeg ikke gør dette for eders Skyld, siger den Herre, Herre, det være eder kundgjort; blues og skammer eder over eders Veje, I af Israels Hus!

Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord Eternal, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded because of your ways, O house of Israel.

33 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Paa den Dag jeg renser eder fra alle eders Misgerninger, da vil jeg lade Stæderne blive beboede og de øde Steder blive bebyggede.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, when I cause the cities to be inhabited, and when the ruins are built up,

34 Og Landet, som var lagt øde, skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det laa øde for hvers Øjne, som gik igennem det.

And when the desolate land is tilled, instead that it was a waste before the eyes of every passer by:

35 Og man skal sige: Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og de øde og de ødelagte og de nedbrudte Stæder ere blevne befæstede og beboede.

Then shall they say, This land, that was desolate, is become like the garden of 'Eden; and the cities that were ruined, and desolate, and broken down, are become fortified, and inhabited.

36 Og Hedningerne, som blive tilovers trindt omkring eder, skulle fornemme, at jeg Herren, jeg har bygget det nedbrudte, beplantet det ødelagte, jeg Herren, jeg har talt og gjort det.

And the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have built up the broken-down [places], have planted the desolate [land]: I the Lord have spoken this, and have done it.

37 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg vil endnu i dette Stykke lade mig søges af Israels Hus, at jeg gør dette ved dem: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige med Mennesker, som var det en Faarehjord.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Also in this will I yet suffer myself to be entreated of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like flocks [in multitude].

38 Som en hellig Hjord, som en Hjord i Jerusalem paa dens Højtider, saaledes skulle de øde Stæder blive fulde af Menneskehjorde, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.

As the flocks of the holy things, as the flocks of Jerusalem on her appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
