Ezekiel 7
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig, og han sagde:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Og du Menneskesøn! saa siger den Herre, Herre om Israels Land: Der er Ende; Enden kommer over Landets fire Hjørner.
“Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the people living in Israel: The end is here! The end has arrived throughout the country.
3 Nu forestaar Enden dig, og jeg vil sende min Vrede over dig og dømme dig efter dine Veje og lade dine Vederstyggeligheder falde tilbage paa dig.
Now is the end for you! I'm going to direct my anger against you. I'm judging you for your actions and will pay you back for the offensive things you've done.
4 Og mit Øje skal ikke spare dig, og jeg vil ikke skaane; thi jeg vil lade dine Veje falde tilbage paa dig, og dine Vederstyggeligheder skulle blive i din Midte, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I won't have any pity for you, or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you'll know that I am the Lord.
5 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ulykke, en eneste Ulykke, se, den kommer!
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out! Disaster after disaster is coming!
6 Ende kommer! kommen er Enden, den er vaagnet op imod dig; se, den kommer.
The end is here! The end has come, and it's coming for you! Watch out! This is the end!
7 Morgenen kommer til dig, du Landets Indbygger! Tiden kommer; Forstyrrelsens Dag er nær, og der er intet Frydeskrig paa Bjergene.
You people living in the land, the consequences of your actions have come full circle. The time has come, the day is near— shouts of panic on the mountains and not shouts of joy.
8 Nu snart vil jeg udøse min Harme over dig og fuldkomme min Vrede paa dig og dømme dig efter dine Veje og lade alle dine Vederstyggeligheder falde tilbage paa dig.
Very shortly I'm going to show you how angry I am with you. I will judge you by what you have done, and punish you for all your disgusting sins.
9 Og mit Øje skal ikke spare, og jeg vil ikke skaane; jeg vil lade dine Veje falde tilbage paa dig, og dine Vederstyggeligheder skulle blive i din Midte, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, som slaar.
I won't have any pity for you or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is attacking you.
10 Se Dagen! se, den kommer! Morgenen bryder frem, Riset blomstrer, Hovmodigheden skyder op.
Can't you see? The day is here! It has arrived! The consequences of your actions have come full circle—the walking stick has blossomed, pride has come into full bloom.
11 Vold rejser sig til et Ris over Ugudelighed; der bliver intet tilovers af dem; og intet af deres Mangfoldighed, og intet af deres Mængde, og intet herligt iblandt dem!
Their way of violence has turned into a rod to punish them for their wickedness. None of them will survive—none of that whole crowd, and none of their wealth or honor.
12 Tiden kommer, Dagen er kommen nær, den, som køber, glæde sig ej, og den, som sælger, sørge ej; thi Vreden naar hele dens Mangfoldighed.
The time has come; the day is here! Buyers, don't celebrate thinking you'll get a good deal; sellers, don't cry thinking you're going to make a loss—because punishment is coming to everyone.
13 Thi den, som sælger, skal ikke komme til sit solgte Gods igen, om og hans Liv er iblandt de levende; thi Synet angaaende hele dens Mangfoldighed tages ej tilbage, og ingen skal styrke sit Liv ved sin Misgerning.
Sellers won't ever get back the purchase price while they're still alive. I'm not going to change the plan I have revealed that applies to everyone. People who go on sinning won't survive.
14 Man blæser i Trompeten og gør alt rede, men der drager dog ingen ud til Krigen; thi min Vrede naar hele dens Mangfoldighed.
Even though the trumpet call to arms has sounded, even though all the preparations have been made, no one is ready to fight, because I am angry with everyone.
15 Sværdet udenfor og Pesten og Hungeren indenfor! den, som er paa Marken, skal dø for Sværdet, og den, som er i Staden, skulle Hunger og Pest fortære.
Outside the city are armed attacks; inside are disease and starvation. Those in the countryside will be killed by the sword, and those in the city will be destroyed by starvation and disease.
16 Og undkomme nogle undkomne af dem, skulle de være paa Bjergene som Duer i Dalene, sukkende alle, hver for sin Misgernings Skyld.
Those who do survive will escape and go to live in the mountains. They will sigh like the doves of the valley, each person thinking about their own sins.
17 Alle Hænder skulle synke og alle Knæ ryste som Vand.
Every hand will go limp, and every knee will go weak.
18 Og de skulle iføre sig Sæk, og Rædsel skal betage dem, Skam skal komme over alle Ansigter og Skaldethed over alle deres Hoveder.
They will put on clothes made of sackcloth, and they will be totally terrified. They will all be ashamed and shave their heads in mourning.
19 De skulle kaste deres Sølv paa Gaderne, og deres Guld skal være dem til Modbydelighed; deres Sølv og deres Guld skal ikke kunne fri dem paa Herrens Vredes Dag, de skulle ikke kunne mætte deres Sjæl og ej fylde deres Indvolde dermed; thi det var dem Anstød til at synde.
They will throw away their silver in the streets and treat their gold as if it's something unclean. Their silver and gold won't be able to save them when the day of the Lord's anger comes. Their money won't satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs. In fact this was the problem that caused their sin in the first place.
20 Som stadseligt Smykke brugte de det til Hoffærdighed og gjorde deraf deres Vederstyggeligheders Billeder, deres Grueligheder; derfor gjorde jeg dem til Modbydelighed.
They were so proud of their beautiful jewelry that they used it to make their disgusting images and decorate their offensive idols. So I'm going to turn these idols into unclean things for them.
21 Og jeg vil give det i de fremmedes Haand som Rov og til de ugudelige paa Jorden som Bytte, at de kunne vanhellige det.
I'm going to hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked people of the earth, who will make them unclean.
22 Og jeg vil vende mit Ansigt bort fra dem, og de skulle vanhellige min Skat; og Røvere skulle komme derind og vanhellige den.
I will look away as they make my precious place unclean. Men of violence will enter and make it unclean.
23 Gør Lænken færdig! thi Landet er fuldt af Blodskyld og Staden fuld af Vold.
Get the chains ready, because the country is full of blood being spilled by violent crimes, and the city itself is full of violence.
24 Og jeg vil lade de værste iblandt Hedningerne komme, og de skulle indtage deres Huse til Ejendom; og jeg vil gøre Ende paa de stærkes Hovmodighed, og deres Helligdomme skulle vanhelliges.
So I'm going to bring the most evil of all the nations to take over their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the powerful, and their holy places will be made unclean.
25 Ødelæggelse kommer; og de skulle søge Fred, og den skal ikke findes.
Absolutely terrified, the people will look for peace, but won't find it.
26 Ulykke over Ulykke skal komme, og Rygte over Rygte skal opstaa; og de skulle søge efter et Syn hos en Profet; men Loven skal være borte for Præsten, og Raad for de gamle.
Disaster after disaster will come down on them, and rumor after rumor. They will ask for a vision from a prophet, but there won't be any, and there won't be any instructions from the priests or advice from the elders either.
27 Kongen skal sørge, og Fyrsten skal iføre sig Forfærdelse, og Hænderne paa Folket i Landet skulle ryste; jeg vil handle med dem efter deres Veje og dømme dem efter deres Domme, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
The king will mourn, the prince will be devastated, and no one in the country will know what to do. I will do to them as they have done to others; I will judge them as they have judged others. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
