Ezekiel 3
1 Saa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn, slug hvad du her har for dig, slug denne Bogrulle og gaa saa hen og tal til Israels Hus!«
He said to me, "Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
2 Saa aabnede jeg Munden, og han lod mig sluge Bogrullen
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
3 og sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn! Lad din Bug fortære den Bogrulle, jeg her giver dig, og fyld dine Indvolde dermed!« Og jeg slugte den, og den var sød som Honning i min Mund.
He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your belly with this scroll that I give you." Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Saa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn, gaa til Israels Hus og tal mine Ord til dem!
He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Thi du sendes til Israels Folk, ikke til et Folk med dybt Maal og tungt Mæle,
For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
6 ikke til mange Haande Folkeslag med dybt Maal og tungt Mæle, hvis Tale du ikke fatter, hvis jeg sendte dig til dem, vilde de høre dig.
not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
7 Men Israels Hus vil ikke høre dig, thi de vil ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har haarde Pander og stive Hjerter.
But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
8 Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt haardt som deres Ansigter og din Pande haard som deres Pander;
Look, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 som Diamant, haardere end Flint gør jeg din Pande. Frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt!«
As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
10 Videre sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn, alle mine Ord, som jeg taler til dig, skal du optage i dit Hjerte og høre med dine Ører;
Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 og gaa saa hen til dine landflygtige Landsmænd og tal til dem og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN! — hvad enten de saa hører eller ej!«
And go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah'; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Saa løftede Aanden mig, og jeg hørte bag mig Larmen af et vældigt Jordskælv, da HERRENS Herlighed hævede sig fra sit Sted,
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, "Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place."
13 og Suset af de levende Væseners Vinger, der rørte hverandre, og samtidig Lyden af Hjulene og Larmen af Jordskælvet.
I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
14 Og Aanden løftede mig og førte mig bort, og jeg vandrede bitter og gram i Hu, idet HERRENS Haand var over mig med Vælde.
So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the anger of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovah was strong on me.
15 Saa kom jeg til de landflygtige i Tel-Abib, de, som boede ved Floden Kebar, og der sad jeg syv Dage iblandt dem og stirrede hen for mig.
Then I came to them of the exiles at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 Syv Dage senere kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
17 Menneskesøn! Jeg sætter dig til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 Naar jeg siger til den gudløse: »Du skal visselig dø!« og du ikke advarer ham eller for at bevare hans Liv taler til ham om at omvende sig fra sin gudløse Vej, saa skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
When I tell the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Advarer du derimod den gudløse, og han ikke omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og sin Vej, saa skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20 Og naar en retfærdig vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, og jeg lægger Anstød for ham, saa han dør, og du ikke har advaret ham, saa dør han for sin Synd, og den Retfærdighed, han har øvet, skal ikke tilregnes ham, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
"Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Har du derimod advaret den retfærdige mod at synde, og han ikke synder, saa skal samme retfærdige leve, fordi han lod sig advare, og du har reddet din Sjæl.
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul."
22 Siden kom HERRENS Haand over mig der, og han sagde til mig: »Staa op og gaa ud i Dalen, der vil jeg tale med dig!«
The hand of Jehovah was there on me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you."
23 Saa stod jeg op og gik ud i Dalen, og se, der stod HERRENS Herlighed, som jeg havde set den ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and look, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
24 Men Aanden kom i mig og rejste mig paa mine Fødder. Saa talede han til mig og sagde: Gaa hjem og luk dig inde i dit Hus!
Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, "Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Og du, Menneskesøn, se, man skal lægge Baand paa dig og binde dig, saa du ikke kan gaa ud iblandt dem;
But you, son of man, look, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26 og din Tunge lader jeg hænge ved Ganen, saa du bliver stum og ikke kan være dem en Revser; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
27 Men naar jeg taler til dig, vil jeg aabne din Mund, og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN! Saa faar den, der vil høre, høre, og den, der ikke vil, faar lade være; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah': He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
