Ezekiel 36

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

Thou therefore. Son of man, Prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, —and thou shalt say, Ye mountains of Israel Hear ye the word of Yahweh.

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

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because the enemy hath said concerning you Aha! Even the high places of age-past times, for a possession have become ours

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 thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh-Because even because they have desolated and panted for you on every side That ye should become a possession to the rest of the nations, And ye have come up into the talk of the tongue and the slander 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 ye mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh, — Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, To the mountains and to the hills, to the channels and to the valleys, and to the desolate waste places and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and a derision, to the rest of the nations which are on every side:

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, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Surely in the fire of my jealousy, have I spoken against the rest of the nations and against Edom all of it, — Who have given my land to themselves for a possession, In the rejoicing of all the heart In contempt of soul, To make of its produce 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 soil of Israel, —and say to the mountains and to the hills to the channels and to the valleys, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! In my jealousy and in mine indignation, have I spoken, Because the insult of the nations, ye have borne;

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 saith My Lord Yahweh, I myself have lifted my hand, - Surely the nations which are yours round about, they their own shame, shall bear:

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 Your boughs, shall ye shoot forth, And your fruit, shall ye bear For my people Israel, For they have drawn near to enter.

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

For lo! I am towards you, Therefore will I turn towards you, And ye shall be 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 will multiply, upon you—men, All the house of Israel All of it, Then shall the cities be inhabited, And the waste places, shall be 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 will multiply upon you—man and beast, And they shall multiply and be fruitful, — And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;

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 will bring upon you—men even my people Israel That they may possess thee, So shalt thou be theirs, as an inheritance, -And thou shalt no more again make them childless.

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

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because they are saying to you. A devourer of men, thou art, And one that didst make childless thy nations, hast thou been

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

Therefore, men, shalt thou not devour any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou make childless no more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh;

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 suffer to be heard against thee any more, the insult of the nations, And the reproach of the peoples, shalt thou not bear any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou not cause to stumble any more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

16 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of Yahweh 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 were dwelling upon their own soil, But they defiled it by their way, and by their doings. Like the defilement of her that is removed, became 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.

So I poured out mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land, - Yea with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it.

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

So I dispersed them among the nations, And they were scattered throughout the lands, — According to their way and according to their doings, I 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.

But when they entered among the nations where they did enter, then profaned they my holy Name, —in that it was said of them The people of Yahweh, these! Yet from his land, have they come forth!

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

So then I had tender regard for my holy Name, - Which the house of Israel had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered.

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 thou to the house of Israel Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am I working. O house of Israel, But for my holy Name which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered;

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.

Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst, -So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes.

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

Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands, - And will bring you upon your own soil;

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 throw upon you clean water and ye shall be clean, — From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, 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 take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, And 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, will I put within you, And will cause That in my statutes, ye shall walk, And my regulations, ye shall observe, and do;

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 become my people, And I will become your 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 out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine; And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine;

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 tree, and The increase of the field, — To the end that ye may not receive any more the reproach 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 call to mind Your ways that were wicked, and Your doings that were not good, - And shall become loathsome in your own sight. 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!

Not for your sakes, am I working, Declareth My Lord Yahweh be it known to you, — Turn ye pale and then blush for 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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, In the day when I cleanse you, from all your iniquities, Then will I cause the cities to be inhabited, And the waste places shall be 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 land that was made desolate shall be tilled, — Whereas it was a desolation, 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.

And they shall say, This land that was made desolate hath become like the garden of Eden, - And the cities that were waste and deserted and thrown down, now fenced, are 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.

So shall the nations that may be left remaining round about you know that, I Yahweh— Have built that which was thrown down, and Have planted that which was made desolate, — I Yahweh, have spoken and performed.

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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Even yet—for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel to work for them, — I will multiply them-Like a flock—with 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.

Like a flock of holy offerings Like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, So, shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men, - And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
