Ezekiel 12

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

The word of Yhwh also came unto me, saying,

2 Menneskesøn! Du bor midt i den genstridige Slægt, som har Øjne at se med, men ikke ser, og Ører at høre med, men ikke hører, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

3 Men du, Menneskesøn, udrust dig ved højlys Dag i deres Paasyn som en, der drager i Landflygtighed, og drag saa i deres Paasyn fra Stedet, hvor du bor, til et andet Sted! Maaske de saa faar Øjnene op; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

4 Bær ved højlys Dag i deres Paasyn dine Sager udenfor, som om du skal i Landflygtighed, men selv skal du drage bort om Aftenen i deres Paasyn som en, der drager i Landflygtighed.

Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

5 Slaa i deres Paasyn Hul i Væggen og drag ud derigennem;

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

6 tag Sagerne paa Skulderen og drag ud i Bælgmørke med tilhyllet Ansigt uden at se Landet; thi jeg gør dig til et Tegn for Israels Hus!

In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

7 Og jeg gjorde, som der bødes mig: Jeg bar ved højlys Dag mine Sager udenfor, som om jeg skulde i Landflygtighed, og om Aftenen slog jeg med Haanden Hul i Væggen, og i Bælgmørke drog jeg ud; jeg tog det paa Skulderen i deres Paasyn.

And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

8 Næste Morgen kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:

And in the morning came the word of Yhwh unto me, saying,

9 Menneskesøn! Har Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt, ikke spurgt dig: »Hvad gør du der?«

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

10 Sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Saaledes skal det være med Fyrsten, denne Byrde i Jerusalem, og hele Israels Hus derinde.

Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

11 Sig: Jeg er eder et Tegn; som jeg har gjort, skal der gøres med dem: I Landflygtighed og Fangenskab skal de drage.

Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

12 Og Fyrsten i deres Midte skal tage sine Sager paa Skulderen, og i Bælgmørke skal han drage ud, han skal slaa Hul i Væggen for at drage ud derigennem, og han skal tilhylle sit Ansigt for ikke at se Landet.

And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

13 Men jeg breder mit Net over ham, og han skal fanges i mit Garn; og jeg bringer ham til Babel i Kaldæernes Land, som han dog ikke skal se; og der skal han dø.

My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

14 Og alle hans Omgivelser, hans Hjælpere og alle hans Hærskarer vil jeg udstrø for alle Vinde og drage Sværdet bag dem.

And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15 Da skal de kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg spreder dem: blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.

And they shall know that I am Yhwh, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

16 Kun nogle faa af dem levner jeg fra Sværd, Hunger og Pest, for at de kan fortælle om alle deres Vederstyggeligheder blandt de Folk, de kommer til; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am Yhwh.

17 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

Moreover the word of Yhwh came to me, saying,

18 Menneskesøn, spis Brød i Angst og drik Vand i Frygt og Bæven;

Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;

19 og sig til Landets Folk: Saa siger den Herre HERREN om Jerusalems Indbyggere i Israels Land: Brød skal de spise med Bæven, og Vand skal de drikke med Rædsel, for at deres Land og alt deri maa ligge øde til Straf for alle dets Indbyggeres Voldsfærd;

And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

20 og Byerne, der nu er beboet, skal ligge øde, og Landet skal blive til Ørk; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am Yhwh.

21 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,

22 Menneskesøn! Hvad er det for et Mundheld, I har om Israels Land: »Det trækker i Langdrag, og alle Syner slaar fejl!«

Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

23 Sig derfor til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil bringe dette Mundheld til at forstumme, saa de ikke mere bruger det i Israel. Sig tværtimod til dem: »Tiden er nær, og alle Syner træffer ind!«

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

24 Thi der skal ikke mere være noget Løgnesyn eller nogen falsk Spaadom i Israels Hus,

For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25 men jeg, HERREN taler, hvad jeg vil, og det skal ske. Det skal ikke længer trække i Langdrag; men i eders Dage, du genstridige Slægt, vil jeg tale et Ord og fuldbyrde det, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

For I am Yhwh: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Yhwh.

26 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

Again the word of Yhwh came to me, saying,

27 Menneskesøn! Se, Israels Hus siger: »Synet, han skuer, gælder sene Dage, og han profeterer om fjerne Tider!«

Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

28 Sig derfor til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Intet af mine Ord skal lade vente paa sig mere; hvad jeg taler, skal ske, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord Yhwh.
