Ezekiel 7
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig, og han sagde:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
2 Og du Menneskesøn! saa siger den Herre, Herre om Israels Land: Der er Ende; Enden kommer over Landets fire Hjørner.
“You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
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.
[people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
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 will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
5 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ulykke, en eneste Ulykke, se, den kommer!
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
6 Ende kommer! kommen er Enden, den er vaagnet op imod dig; se, den kommer.
This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
7 Morgenen kommer til dig, du Landets Indbygger! Tiden kommer; Forstyrrelsens Dag er nær, og der er intet Frydeskrig paa Bjergene.
It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
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.
I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
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 will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
10 Se Dagen! se, den kommer! Morgenen bryder frem, Riset blomstrer, Hovmodigheden skyder op.
The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
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!
People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
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.
Now is the time; that day has arrived.
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.
People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
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 [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
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.
[When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
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 survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
17 Alle Hænder skulle synke og alle Knæ ryste som Vand.
[Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very 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 from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
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 their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
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 proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
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 will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
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 not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate it.
23 Gør Lænken færdig! thi Landet er fuldt af Blodskyld og Staden fuld af Vold.
Prepare chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
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 will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
25 Ødelæggelse kommer; og de skulle søge Fred, og den skal ikke findes.
When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
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.
You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
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.
Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
