Ezekiel 36

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

And thou, son of man, prophesy unto mountains of Israel, and thou hast said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of Jehovah.

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

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy said against you, Aha, and the high places of old for a possession have been to us,

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 hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from round about, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And ye are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] 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 a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to wastes that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the nations who [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 said the Lord Jehovah: 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 thou hast said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I, in My jealousy, and in My fury, I have spoken, Because the shame of 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 said the Lord Jehovah: I — I have lifted up My hand, Do not — the nations who [are] with you from round about — they their own shame 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.

And ye, O mountains of Israel, Your branch ye give out, and your fruits ye bear 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, lo, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And ye 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 on you men, All the house of Israel — all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the wastes 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 on you man and beast, 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 ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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 thee, and thou hast been to them for an inheritance, And thou dost add no more 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 the Lord Jehovah: Because they are saying to you: A devourer of men [art] thou, And a bereaver of thy nations thou hast been,

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

Therefore, man thou devourest no more, And thy nations thou causest not to stumble any more, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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 proclaim not unto thee any more the shame of the nations, And the reproach of peoples thou bearest no more, And thy nations stumble not any more, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

16 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And there is a word of Jehovah 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 are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, As the uncleanness of a separated one hath their way been 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 do pour out My fury upon them For the blood that they shed on the land, And with their idols they have 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.

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 goeth in unto the nations whither they have gone, And they pollute My holy name by saying to them, The people of Jehovah [are] these, And from His land they have gone forth.

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 have polluted among nations whither 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 the Lord Jehovah: Not for your sake am I working, O house of Israel, But — for My holy name, That ye have polluted among nations whither ye 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 nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known have the nations that I [am] Jehovah, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, 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 in unto 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 over you clean water, And ye have been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, I do 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 have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to 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 give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, 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 ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I — 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 unto the corn, and multiplied it, And I have put no 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 have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that ye receive not any more a reproach of famine among 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,

And ye 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!

Not for your sake am I working, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, 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 the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the wastes 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 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 have said: This land, that was desolated, Hath been as the garden of Eden, And the cities — the wasted, And the desolated, and the broken down, Fenced places 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 known have the nations who are left round about you, That I Jehovah have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I Jehovah 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 the Lord Jehovah: Yet this I am required, By the house of Israel to do to 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 seasons, So are the waste cities full of flocks of men, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
