Ezekiel 22
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 Du Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Blodbyen? Saa forehold den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder
“And you, son of man, do you judge? Do you judge the city of blood? Then you have caused it to know all its abominations,
3 og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Byen, der udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Time skal komme, og laver sig Afgudsbilleder for at gøre sig uren.
and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it has made idols on it for defilement.
4 Ved dine egne Folks Blod, som du har udgydt, har du paadraget dig Skyld, og ved de Afgudsbilleder du har lavet, er du blevet uren; du har bragt din Time nær og hidført dine Aars Frist. Derfor gør jeg dig til Haan for Folkene og til Spot for alle Lande;
You have been guilty by your blood that you have shed, And you have been defiled by your idols that you have made, And you cause your days to draw near, And have come to your years, Therefore I have given you [for] a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
5 fra nær og fjern skal man spotte dig, du, hvis Navn er skændet, og som er fuld af Larm.
The near and the far-off from you scoff at you, O defiled of name—abounding in trouble.
6 Se, Israels Fyrster optræder hver og een egenmægtigt i dig og udøser Blod.
Behold, princes of Israel—each according to his arm Have been in you to shed blood.
7 Fader og Moder ringeagtes, den fremmede undertrykkes i dig, den faderløse og Enken lider Uret.
They have made light of father and mother in you, They dealt oppressively to a sojourner in your midst, They oppressed fatherless and widow in you.
8 Mine hellige Ting agter du ringe og vanhelliger mine Sabbater.
You have despised My holy things, And you have defiled My Sabbaths.
9 Du har Æreskændere i din Midte, som bagtaler, saa der udøses Blod, og Folk, som spiser paa Bjergene. Utugt gaar i Svang i din Midte;
Men of slander have been in you to shed blood, And they have eaten on the mountains in you, They have done wickedness in your midst.
10 i dig blottes Faderens Skam, og Kvinder krænkes i deres Urenheds Tid.
One has uncovered the nakedness of a father in you, They humbled the menstruous woman in you.
11 Man øver Vederstyggelighed mod sin Næstes Hustru, man gør sin Sønnekone uren ved Utugt, man skænder i dig sin kødelige Søster.
And each has done abomination with the wife of his neighbor, And each has defiled his daughter-in-law through wickedness, And each has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
12 I dig tager man Gave for at udøse Blod; du tager Aager og Opgæld, voldelig øver du Svig mod din Næste; og mig glemmer du, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
They have taken a bribe to shed blood in you, You have taken usury and increase, And cut off your neighbor by oppression, And you have forgotten Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH!
13 Men se, jeg slaar Hænderne sammen over den uredelige Vinding, du har skaffet dig, og over det Blod, der er udøst i dig.
And behold, I have struck My hand, Because of your dishonest gain that you have gained, And for your blood that has been in your midst.
14 Kan dit Hjerte holde Stand, kan dine Hænder være faste i de Dage, da jeg tager fat paa dig? Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
Does your heart stand—are your hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken and have done [it].
15 Jeg vil sprede dig blandt Folkene og udstrø dig i Landene og tage din Urenhed fra dig;
And I have scattered you among nations, And have spread you out among lands, And consumed your uncleanness out of you.
16 jeg vil lade mig vanære ved dig for Folkenes Øjne; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
And you have been defiled in yourself Before the eyes of nations, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
17 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
18 Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de er alle blevet Kobber, Tin, Jern og Bly i Smelteovnen; Sølvslagger er de blevet.
“Son of man, the house of Israel has been for dross to Me, All of them [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace—silver has been dross,
19 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I alle er blevet til Slagger, derfor vil jeg samle eder i Jerusalem;
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have all become dross, Therefore, behold, I am gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem,
20 som man samler Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Bly og Tin i en Smelteovn og blæser til Ilden for at smelte det, saaledes vil jeg i min Vrede og Harme samle eder og kaste eder ind og smelte eder;
A gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin, Into the midst of a furnace—to blow fire on it, to melt it, So I gather in My anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
21 jeg vil samle eder og blæse min Vredes Ild op imod eder, saa I smeltes deri.
And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And you have been melted in its midst.
22 Som Sølv smeltes i Smelteovnen, skal I smeltes deri; og I skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har udøst min Vrede over eder.
As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So you are melted in its midst, And you have known that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury on you.”
23 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
24 Menneskesøn, sig til Landet: Du er et Land, der ikke faar Regn og Byger paa Vredens Dag,
“Son of man, say to it, You [are] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.
25 hvis Fyrster er som brølende Løver paa Rov; de tilintetgør Sjæle, tilriver sig Gods og Guld, gør mange til Enker deri.
A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, As a roaring lion tearing prey; They have devoured the soul, They have taken wealth and glory, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
26 Præsterne øver Vold mod min Lov, vanhelliger mine hellige Ting og gør ikke Skel mellem det, der er helligt, og det, der ikke er helligt, lærer ikke Forskel mellem rent og urent og lukker Øjnene for mine Sabbater, saa jeg er blevet vanhelliget iblandt dem.
Its priests have wronged My law, And they defile My holy things, They have not made separation between holy and common, And they have not made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, And I am pierced in their midst.
27 Fyrsterne er som Ulve paa Rov: de er ivrige efter at udøse Blod og tilintetgøre Menneskeliv for at skaffe sig Vinding.
Its princes [are] as wolves in its midst, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.
28 Profeterne stryger over med Kalk, idet de skuer Tomhed og varsler Løgn og siger: »Saa siger den Herre HERREN!« uden at HERREN har talet.
And its prophets have coated with chalk for them, Seeing a vain thing, and divining a lie for them, Saying, Thus said Lord YHWH, And YHWH has not spoken.
29 Det menige Folk øver Vold og gaar paa Rov, den arme og fattige gør de Uret, og den fremmede undertrykker de imod Lov og Ret.
The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder away violently, And have oppressed humble and needy, And oppressed the sojourner without judgment.
30 Jeg søgte iblandt dem efter en, der vilde bygge en Mur og stille sig i Gabet for mit Aasyn til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
And I seek from them a man making a wall, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have found none.
31 Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, med min Harmes Ild tilintetgør jeg dem; deres Færd lader jeg komme over deres Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And I pour out My indignation on them, I have consumed them by [the] fire of My wrath, I have put their way on their own head, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
