Ezekiel 2

1 Han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn staa op paa dine Fødder saa jeg kan tale med dig!«

He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet; then I will speak to you.”

2 Og som han talede til mig, kom Aanden i mig og rejste mig paa mine Fødder, og jeg hørte ham tale til mig.

Then, as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.

3 Han sagde: »Menneskesøn! Jeg sender dig til Israeliterne, de genstridige, der har sat sig op imod mig; de og deres Fædre har forbrudt sig imod mig til den Dag i Dag.

He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me—both they and their ancestors have sinned against me up to this very day!

4 Og Sønnerne har stive Ansigter og haarde Hjerter; jeg sender dig til dem, og du skal sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN!

Their descendants have stubborn faces and hard hearts. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.'

5 Hvad enten de hører eller ej — thi de er en genstridig Slægt — skal de kende, at en Profet er kommet iblandt dem.

Either they will listen or they will not listen. They are a rebellious house, but they will at least know that a prophet has been among them.

6 Men du, Menneskesøn frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ord, naar du færdes mellem Nælder og Tidsler og bor blandt Skorpioner; frygt ikke for deres Ord og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

You, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, although you are with briers and thorns and although you live with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be dismayed by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.

7 Du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de hører eller ej, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.

But you will speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, because they are most rebellious.

8 Og du, Menneskesøn, hør, hvad jeg taler til dig! Vær ikke genstridig som den genstridige Slægt, men luk din Mund op og slug, hvad jeg her giver dig!«

But you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give to you!”

9 Og jeg skuede, og se, en Haand var udrakt imod mig, og i den laa en Bogrulle;

Then I looked, and a hand was extended out to me; in it was a written scroll.

10 og han rullede den op for mig, og der var skrevet paa den baade for og bag; og hvad der stod skrevet, var Klage, Suk og Ve.

He spread it out before me; it had been written on both its front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning, and woe.
