Ezekiel 8

1 Og det skete i det sjette Aar, i den sjette Maaned, paa den femte Dag i Maaneden, da jeg sad I mit Hus, og de Ældste af Juda sade for mit Ansigt, at den Herre, Herres Haand faldt paa mig der.

Now in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in my house and the responsible men of Judah were seated before me, the hand of the Lord came on me there.

2 Og Jegg saa, og se, der var en Skikkelse af Udseende som Ild, fra hans Lænder at se til og nedad Ild; og fra hans Lænder og opad var det, som man saa en Glans, af Udseende som glødende Malm.

And looking, I saw a form like fire; from the middle of his body and down there was fire: and up from the middle of his body a sort of shining, like electrum.

3 Og han udrakte Skikkelsen af en Haand og tog mig ved Haaret paa mit Hoved; og Aanden opløftede mig imellem Jorden og imellem Himmelen og førte mig, i Syner fra Gud, til Jerusalem, hen imod Indgangen til den indre Forgaards Port, som vender imod Norden, hvor Nidkærhedens Billede, som vakte Nidkærhed, stod.

And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.

4 Og se, der var Israels Guds Herlighed, lig det Syn, som jeg, havde set i Dalen.

And I saw the glory of the Lord there, as in the vision which I saw in the valley.

5 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! opløft dog dine Øjne imod Norden; og jeg opløftede mine Øjne imod Norden, og se, Nord for Alterporten stod dette Nidkærhedens Billede ved Indgangen.

Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.

6 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! ser du, hvad disse gøre? det er store Vederstyggeligheder, som Israels Hus gør her, saa at jeg maa vige langt bort fra min Helligdom; men du skal endnu fremdeles se store Vederstyggeligheder.

And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.

7 Og han førte mig til Indgangen til Forgaarden, og jeg saa, og se, der var et Hul i Væggen.

And he took me to the door of the open place; and looking, I saw a hole in the wall.

8 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! bryd dog ind igennem Væggen; og jeg brød ind igennem Væggen, og se, der var en Dør.

And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.

9 Og han sagde til mig: Gak ind og se de slemme Vederstyggeligheder, som de gøre her.

And he said to me, Go in and see the evil and disgusting things which they are doing here.

10 Og jeg gik ind og saa, og se, der var alle Haande Ormes og Dyrs Billeder, Vederstyggelighed, og alle Israels Hus's Afguder udgravede paa Væggen, rundt omkring.

So I went in and saw; and there every sort of living thing which goes flat on the earth, and unclean beasts, and all the images of the children of Israel, were pictured round about on the wall.

11 Og halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Israels Hus's Ældste, samt Jaasanja, Safans Søn, som stod midt iblandt dem, stode for deres Ansigt, og hver havde sit Røgelsekar i sin Haand, og der opsteg en Skydamp af Røgelsen.

And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.

12 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! ser du hvad de Ældste af Israels Hus gøre i Mørket, hver i sine Billedkamre? thi de sige: Herren ser os ikke, Herren har forladt Landet.

And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

13 Og han sagde til mig: Du skal endnu fremdeles se store Vederstyggeligheder, som de gøre.

Then he said to me, You will see even more disgusting things which they do.

14 Og han førte mig til Indgangen til Herrens Hus's Port, som er imod Norden; og se, der sade Kvinderne, som begræd Thammus.

Then he took me to the door of the way into the Lord's house looking to the north; and there women were seated weeping for Tammuz.

15 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! ser du det? du skal endnu fremdeles se Vederstyggeligheder, større end disse.

Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.

16 Og han førte mig i Herrens Hus's inderste Forgaard, og se, ved Indgangen til Herrens Tempel, imellem Forhallen og imellem Alteret, var der ligesom fem og tyve Mænd, med Ryggen vendte imod Herrens Tempel og med Ansigtet imod Østen, og de bøjede sig imod Østen for Solen.

And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.

17 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! ser du dette? er det Judas Hus for lidet at gøre de Vederstyggeligheder, som de gøre her, at de endog fylde Landet med Vold og komme atter for at opirre mig? og se, de holde Vinkvisten op for deres Næse.

Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.

18 Derfor vil jeg ogsaa gaa frem med Harme, mit Øje skal ikke spare, og jeg vil ikke skaane; og de skulle raabe for mine Øren med høj Røst, og jeg vil ikke høre dem.

For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity.
