Ezekiel 36

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

“And you, son of man, prophesy to mountains of Israel, and you have said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH!

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

Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also become our 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 you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from all around, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And you are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report to 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 a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to ruins that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the surrounding nations,

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 said Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom—all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart—with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out 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 ground of Israel, And you have said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, Because you have borne the shame of 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 said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own 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.

And you, O mountains of Israel, You give out your branch, And you bear your fruits for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.

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

For behold, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and 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 have multiplied men on you, All the house of Israel—all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the ruins are built.

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 have multiplied man and beast on you, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

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.

And I have caused man to walk over you—My people Israel, And they possess you, and you have been their inheritance, And you no longer add to bereave them.

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

Thus said Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you, You [are] a devourer of men, And you have been a bereaver of your nations,

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

Therefore, you no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

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 do not proclaim the shame of the nations to you anymore, And you no longer bear the reproach of peoples, And your nations do not stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

16 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And there is a word of YHWH to 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 are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, Their way has been as the uncleanness of a separated one 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 pour out My fury on them For the blood that they shed on the land, And they have defiled it with their idols.

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 scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged 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 one goes to the nations to where they have gone, And they defile My holy Name by saying to them, These [are] the people of YHWH, And they have gone forth from His land.

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

And I have pity on My holy Name, That the house of Israel has defiled Among the nations to where they have gone in.

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 to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: I am not working for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy Name That you have defiled Among the nations to where you have gone in.

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 have sanctified My great Name, That is profaned among the nations, That you have defiled in your midst, And the nations have known that I [am] YHWH, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in 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 have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you into your 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 have sprinkled clean water over you, And you have been clean; I cleanse you from all your uncleannesses, And from all your idols.

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 have given a new heart to you, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to you.

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 I give My Spirit in your midst, And I have done this, so that you walk in My statutes, And you keep My judgments, and have done 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 you have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for 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 have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called to the grain, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine on 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 have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that you do not receive a reproach of famine among nations anymore.

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,

And you have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for 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!

I am not working for your sake, A declaration of Lord YHWH, Be it known to 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 said Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the ruins have been built,

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

And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing 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.

And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Has been as the Garden of Eden, And the cities—the dried up, And the desolated, and the broken down, [And the] fortified have remained.

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 who are left around you have known That I, YHWH, have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I, YHWH, have spoken, and I 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 said Lord YHWH: Yet this I am inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them: I multiply them as a flock of men,

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 a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed times, So the dried up cities are full of flocks of man, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
