Ezekiel 11
1 Saa løftede Aanden mig og bragte mig til HERRENS Hus's Østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg saa iblandt dem Ja'azanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 Og han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser paa Uret og lægger onde Raad op i denne By,
And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city.
3 idet de siger: «Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!»
which say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
4 Profetér derfor imod dem, profetér, Menneskesøn!«
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5 Saa faldt HERRENS Aand paa mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Saa siger HERREN: Saaledes taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Aand.
And the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and he said unto me, Speak, Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: De, som I dræbte og henslængte i dens Midte, de er Kødet, og Byen er Gryden; men eder vil jeg føre ud af den.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this [city] is the caldron: but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
8 I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Haand, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.
And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 For Sværd skal I falde; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder. Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
11 Byen skal ikke være eder en Gryde, og I skal ikke være Kødet deri; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder.
This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
12 Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, hvis Vedtægter I ikke fulgte, og hvis Lovbud I ikke levede efter, hvorimod I levede efter eders Nabofolks Lovbud. —
and ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither have ye executed my judgments, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
13 Men medens jeg profeterede saaledes, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt og raabte med høj Røst: »Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?«
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Saa kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
15 Menneskesøn! Dine Brødre, dine Medfanger og alt Israels Hus, alle de, om hvem Jerusalems Indbyggere siger: »De er langt borte fra HERREN, os er Landet givet i Eje!« —
Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, [are they] unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD; unto us is this land given for a possession:
16 derfor skal du sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Maade var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they are come.
17 Men derfor skal du sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil samle eder sammen fra Folkeslagene og sanke eder op i Landene, hvor I er spredt, og give eder Israels Jord.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Aand; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 for at de maa følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Saa skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 Men hines Hjerter holder sig til deres væmmelige Guder og deres Vederstyggeligheder; dem gengælder jeg deres Færd, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
22 Saa løftede Keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Og HERRENS Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig paa Bjerget østen for.
And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 Derpaa løftede Aanden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Aand i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.
And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Saa kundgjorde jeg de landflygtige alle de Ord, HERREN havde aabenbaret mig.
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
