Ezekiel 12

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

Then came the word of Yahweh 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. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, — Who have eyes to see—and have not seen. Ears have they to hear—and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.

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.

Thou, therefore Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exile, and exile thyself, by day, before their eyes, —so shalt thou exile thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider— though a perverse house, they are.

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.

Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exile, by day before their eyes, —and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to exile.

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

Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, —and carry forth through it.

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!

Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee to 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, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth—on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.

8 Næste Morgen kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me in the morning, saying:

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

Son of man, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, — What art thou doing?

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 unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, — [For] the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and [for] all the house of Israel such as are in their midst.

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: As I have done, so. shall it be done to them, Into exile—into captivity, shall they go.

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.

Yea, the Bearer who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to bear forth through it, — His face, shall he cover, to the end that, his own eye, may not see the land.

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.

Then will I spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he die!

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

And all who are round about him to help him and all his troops, will I scatter to every wind, —and, a sword, will I make bare after them.

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

So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, — By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands.

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.

Yet will I leave remaining of them men easily counted, from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence, —that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.

17 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:

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

Son of man, Thy bread with trembling, shalt thou eat, — And, thy water in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink.

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;

Then shalt thou say unto the people of the land, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem upon the soil of Israel, Their bread with anxious care, shall they eat, And, their water in astonishment, shall they drink, — That her land, may be deserted, of her fulness, because of the violence of all them who 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.

Yea, the cities that are inhabited, shall be laid waste, And, the land, shall become, an astonishment, — So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

21 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of Yahweh 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 this proverb ye have, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, — The days, are prolonged, Therefore shall every vision come to nought?

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!«

Therefore say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will cause this proverb to cease, And they shall use it as a proverb no more in Israel, — But speak unto them, The days, are drawn near, And the substance of every vision.

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

For there shall no more be— Any vision of falsehood Or divination of deceit, In the midst of 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, Yahweh will speak whatsoever word I please to speak, And it shall be done, It shall not be delayed any more, — For in your own days, O perverse house, will I speak a word and perform it, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.

26 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

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

Son of man. Lo! the house of Israel are saying, the vision which he seeth is for many days, Yea for times far away, hath he prophesied.

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 My Lord Yahweh, None of my words shall be delayed any more, — Whatsoever word I speak, then shall it be performed, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
