Ezekiel 7

1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig, og han sagde:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “And you, son of man, Thus said Lord YHWH to the ground of Israel:

2 Og du Menneskesøn! saa siger den Herre, Herre om Israels Land: Der er Ende; Enden kommer over Landets fire Hjørner.

An end, the end has come on 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 [is] the end for you, And I have sent My anger on you, And judged you according to your ways, And set all your abominations against you.

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 has no pity on you, nor do I spare, For I set your ways against you, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

5 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ulykke, en eneste Ulykke, se, den kommer!

Thus said Lord YHWH: Calamity, a single calamity, behold, it has come.

6 Ende kommer! kommen er Enden, den er vaagnet op imod dig; se, den kommer.

An end has come, the end has come, It has awoken for you, behold, it has come.

7 Morgenen kommer til dig, du Landets Indbygger! Tiden kommer; Forstyrrelsens Dag er nær, og der er intet Frydeskrig paa Bjergene.

The circlet has come to you, O inhabitant of the land! The time has come, a day of trouble [is] near, And not the shouting of 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 shortly I pour out My fury on you, And have completed My anger against you, And judged you according to your ways, And set all your abominations against you.

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 does not pity, nor do I spare, I give to you according to your ways, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that [it is] I, YHWH, striking.

10 Se Dagen! se, den kommer! Morgenen bryder frem, Riset blomstrer, Hovmodigheden skyder op.

Behold, the day, behold, it has come, The circlet has gone forth, The rod has blossomed, the pride has flourished.

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 has risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing 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 has come, the day has arrived, The buyer does not rejoice, And the seller does not become a mourner, For wrath [is] to all its 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 does not turn to the sold thing, And yet their life [is] among the living, For the vision [is] to all its multitude, It does not turn back, And none strengthens his life by his iniquity.

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 with a horn to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] to all its 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] outside, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field dies by sword, And he who is in a city—Famine and pestilence devour him.

16 Og undkomme nogle undkomne af dem, skulle de være paa Bjergene som Duer i Dalene, sukkende alle, hver for sin Misgernings Skyld.

And their fugitives have escaped away, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them making a noise—each for his iniquity.

17 Alle Hænder skulle synke og alle Knæ ryste som Vand.

All the hands are feeble, and all knees go [as] waters.

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 they have girded on sackcloth, And trembling has covered them, And shame [is] on all faces, And baldness on all their heads.

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 cast their silver into out-places, And their gold becomes impurity. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of YHWH, They do not satisfy their soul, And they do not fill their bowels, For it has been the stumbling-block of 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.

As for the beauty of his ornament, He set it for excellence, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things—they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,

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 have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have defiled 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 have turned My face from them, And they have defiled My hidden place, Indeed, destroyers have come into it, and defiled it.

23 Gør Lænken færdig! thi Landet er fuldt af Blodskyld og Staden fuld af Vold.

Make the chain; for the land Has been full of bloody judgments, And the city has been 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.

And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused the excellence of the strong to cease, And those sanctifying them have been defiled.

25 Ødelæggelse kommer; og de skulle søge Fred, og den skal ikke findes.

Destruction has come, And they have sought peace, and there is 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.

Disaster comes on disaster, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law perishes from [the] priest, And counsel from [the] elderly,

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 becomes a mourner, And a prince puts on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, I deal with them from their own way, And I judge them with their own judgments, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
