Ezekiel 12
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
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.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
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, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
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.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 Slaa i deres Paasyn Hul i Væggen og drag ud derigennem;
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
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!
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
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.
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 Næste Morgen kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 Menneskesøn! Har Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt, ikke spurgt dig: »Hvad gør du der?«
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you 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.
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 Sig: Jeg er eder et Tegn; som jeg har gjort, skal der gøres med dem: I Landflygtighed og Fangenskab skal de drage.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
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.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
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.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 Og alle hans Omgivelser, hans Hjælpere og alle hans Hærskarer vil jeg udstrø for alle Vinde og drage Sværdet bag dem.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 Da skal de kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg spreder dem: blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 Menneskesøn, spis Brød i Angst og drik Vand i Frygt og Bæven;
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
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;
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 og Byerne, der nu er beboet, skal ligge øde, og Landet skal blive til Ørk; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 Menneskesøn! Hvad er det for et Mundheld, I har om Israels Land: »Det trækker i Langdrag, og alle Syner slaar fejl!«
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
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!«
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 Thi der skal ikke mere være noget Løgnesyn eller nogen falsk Spaadom i Israels Hus,
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
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.
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 Menneskesøn! Se, Israels Hus siger: »Synet, han skuer, gælder sene Dage, og han profeterer om fjerne Tider!«
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
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 to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
