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.

So it came about in the sixth year and the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon 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.

So I looked, and behold, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man. From the appearance of his hips downward there was fire. And from his hips upward there was the appearance of something shining, like glowing metal.

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.

Then he reached out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and in visions from God, he brought me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner northern gate, where the idol that provokes great jealousy was standing.

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

Then behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision I had seen on the plain.

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, lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and to the north of the gate leading to the altar, there in the entrance, was the idol of jealousy.

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.

So he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing? These are great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here to make me go far from my own sanctuary. But you will turn and see even greater abominations.”

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

Then he brought me to the doorway of the courtyard, and I looked, and there was 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.

He said to me, “Son of man, dig into this wall.” So I dug into the wall, and there was a door.

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

Then he said to me, “Go and see the wicked abominations that 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 looked, and behold! There was every form of creeping thing and detestable beast! Every idol of the house of Israel was carved into the wall all around.

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.

Seventy elders of the house of Israel were there, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing in their midst. They were standing in front of the images, and each man had his censer in his hand so that the smell of the cloud of incense went up.

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.

He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark? Each one does this in the hidden chamber of his idol, for they say, 'Yahweh does not see us! Yahweh has forsaken the land.'”

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

Then he said to me, “Turn again and see the other great abominations that they are doing.”

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

Next he brought me to the entrance of the gate of Yahweh's house that was on the north side, and behold! The women were sitting there mourning for Tammuz.

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

So he said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Turn again and see even greater abominations 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.

He brought me into the inner courtyard of Yahweh's house, and behold! at the entrance of the temple of Yahweh between the portico and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun.

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.

He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it a little thing for the house of Judah to do these abominations that they are doing here? For they have filled the land with violence and they have turned again to provoke me to anger, putting the branch to their noses.

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.

So I will also act among them; my eye will not have compassion, and I will not spare them. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
