Ezekiel 7
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig, og han sagde:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Og du Menneskesøn! saa siger den Herre, Herre om Israels Land: Der er Ende; Enden kommer over Landets fire Hjørner.
And thou, son of man, thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the land of Israel, There is an end! the end is coming over the four corners of the land.
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 cometh the end over thee, and I will let loose my anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy abominations.
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.
And my eye shall not show pity upon thee, and I will not spare thee; for thy own ways will I lay upon thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
5 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ulykke, en eneste Ulykke, se, den kommer!
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, An evil, a peculiar evil, behold, is coming.
6 Ende kommer! kommen er Enden, den er vaagnet op imod dig; se, den kommer.
An end is coming, there is coming the end: it waketh up against thee; behold, [the evil] cometh.
7 Morgenen kommer til dig, du Landets Indbygger! Tiden kommer; Forstyrrelsens Dag er nær, og der er intet Frydeskrig paa Bjergene.
The evil decree is come against thee, O thou inhabitant of the land: the time is come, near is the day of tumult, and not the joyful call on the mountains.
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.
Now will I in a short time pour out my fury over thee, and I will let out all my anger against thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy abominations.
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.
And my eye shall not show pity, and I will not spare: according to thy ways will I lay [evil] on thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth.
10 Se Dagen! se, den kommer! Morgenen bryder frem, Riset blomstrer, Hovmodigheden skyder op.
Behold the day, behold, it is coming; the evil decree is gone forth; the staff hath blossomed, presumption hath budded;
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!
The violence is grown up into the staff of wickedness: nothing is left of them, and nothing of their multitude, and nothing of theirs; and there shall be no lamenting for them.
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 is coming, the day occurreth; let the buyer not rejoice, and let the seller not mourn; for wrath is against all her multitude.
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.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although their soul were yet alive; for the vision is against all her multitude; no one shall return; but the soul of every one is fastened to his iniquity, they do not strengthen themselves [to repent].
14 Man blæser i Trompeten og gør alt rede, men der drager dog ingen ud til Krigen; thi min Vrede naar hele dens Mangfoldighed.
They have blown the cornet, every one maketh himself ready; but no one goeth to the battle; for my wrath is against all her multitude.
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.
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine are within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, him shall famine and pestilence devour.
16 Og undkomme nogle undkomne af dem, skulle de være paa Bjergene som Duer i Dalene, sukkende alle, hver for sin Misgernings Skyld.
But they that escape of them shall escape, and they shall be on the mountains like the doves of the valleys, all of which are moaning, every one in his iniquity.
17 Alle Hænder skulle synke og alle Knæ ryste som Vand.
All hands become feeble, and all knees go into water.
18 Og de skulle iføre sig Sæk, og Rædsel skal betage dem, Skam skal komme over alle Ansigter og Skaldethed over alle deres Hoveder.
And people gird themselves with sackcloth, and shuddering covereth them: and upon all faces there is shame, and upon all their heads there is baldness.
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.
Their silver shall they cast into the streets, and their gold shall be as though it were unclean: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the Lord; they shall not satisfy their souls, and not fill their bowels; because it was the stumbling-block for their iniquity.
20 Som stadseligt Smykke brugte de det til Hoffærdighed og gjorde deraf deres Vederstyggeligheders Billeder, deres Grueligheder; derfor gjorde jeg dem til Modbydelighed.
And as for the beauty of his ornament, which he had instituted for [their] pride: even therein did they make the images of their abominations, their detestable things; therefore have I rendered it unclean 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.
And I will give it up into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil: and they shall pollute it.
22 Og jeg vil vende mit Ansigt bort fra dem, og de skulle vanhellige min Skat; og Røvere skulle komme derind og vanhellige den.
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall pollute my place where I dwelt in secret; and therein shall barbarians enter and pollute it.
23 Gør Lænken færdig! thi Landet er fuldt af Blodskyld og Staden fuld af Vold.
Make chains; for the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city 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.
Therefore will I bring the worst of nations, and they shall take possession of their houses: I will also cause the pride of the mighty to cease; and their holy places shall be polluted.
25 Ødelæggelse kommer; og de skulle søge Fred, og den skal ikke findes.
Destruction cometh: and they will seek peace, but there shall be none.
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.
Mishap shall come upon mishap, and report shall be spread upon report: and then will they seek a vision from the prophet; but the law shall be lost from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
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 shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with distress, and the hands of the people of the land shall be powerless: after their way will I do unto them, and according to their own manners will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
