Ezekiel 33
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn, tal til dine Landsmænd og sig: Naar jeg fører Sværdet over et Land, og Folket i Landet tager en af sin Midte og gør ham til deres Vægter,
Son of man, speak to the sons of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 og han ser Sværdet komme over Landet og støder i Hornet og advarer Folket,
if, when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet, and warns the people,
4 men den, der hører Hornets Klang, ikke lader sig advare, og Sværdet kommer og river ham bort, da kommer hans Blod over hans Hoved.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes no warning, if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Han hørte Hornets Klang uden at lade sig advare, hans Blod kommer over hans Hoved; men den, som har advaret, har reddet sin Sjæl.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no warning; his blood shall be upon him. Whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 Men naar Vægteren ser Sværdet komme og ikke støder i Hornet, saa at Folket ikke advares, og Sværdet kommer og over en af dem bort, saa rives han vel bort for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af Vægterens Haand.
But if the watchman sees the sword come, and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the watchman's hand.
7 Men dig, Menneskesøn, har jeg sat til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
8 Naar jeg siger til den gudløse: »Du skal visselig dø!« og du ikke taler for at advare ham mod hans Vej, saa skal den gudløse vel dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
When I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, thou shall surely die, and thou do not speak to warn the wicked man from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
9 Advarer du derimod den gudløse mod hans Vej, for at han skal omvende sig fra den, og han ikke omvender sig, saa skal han dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.
10 Og du, Menneskesøn, sig til Israels Hus: I siger: »Vore Overtrædelser og Synder tynger os, og vi svinder hen i dem, hvor kan vi da leve?«
And thou, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?
11 Sig til dem: Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg har ikke Lyst til den gudløses Død, men til at han omvender sig fra sin Vej, at han maa leve! Vend om, vend om fra eders onde Veje Hvorfor vil I dø, Israels Hus?
Say to them, As I live, says the lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, but that the wicked man turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 Men du, Menneskesøn, sig til dine Landsmænd: Den retfærdiges Retfærdighed skal ikke redde ham, den Dag han synder, og den gudløses Gudløshed skal ikke fælde ham, den Dag han omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed, og en retfærdig skal ikke blive i Live ved sin Retfærdighed, den Dag han gør Synd.
And thou, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. And as for the wickedness of the wicked man, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness, nor shall he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
13 Naar jeg siger til den retfærdige: »Du skal visselig leve!« og han stoler paa sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, saa skal intet af hans Retfærdighed tilregnes ham, men han skal dø for den Uret, han øver.
When I say to the righteous man, that he shall surely live, if he trusts his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his iniquity that he has committed, in it he shall die.
14 Og naar jeg siger til den gudløse: »Du skal visselig dø!« og han omvender sig fra sin Synd og gør Ret og Skel,
Again, when I say to the wicked man, Thou shall surely die, if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right,
15 idet han giver Pant tilbage, godtgør, hvad han har ranet, og følger Livets Bud uden at øve Uret, saa skal han leve og ikke dø;
if the wicked man restores the pledge, gives again that which he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
16 ingen af de Synder, han har gjort, skal tilregnes ham; han har gjort Ret og Skel, visselig skal han leve.
None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Og saa siger dine Landsmænd: »Herrens Vej er ikke ret!« Men det er deres Vej, som ikke er ret.
Yet the sons of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. But as for them, their way is not equitable.
18 Naar den retfærdige vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, skal han dø;
When the righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
19 og naar den gudløse omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og gør Ret og Skel, skal han leve!
And when the wicked man turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Og dog siger I: »Herrens Vej er ikke ret!« Jeg vil dømme eder hver især efter eders Veje, Israels Hus.
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. O house of Israel, I will judge you everyone according to his ways.
21 I vor Landflygtigheds ellevte Aar paa den femte Dag i den tiende Maaned kom en Flygtning fra Jerusalem til mig med det Bud: »Byen er indtaget!«
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that a man who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Men HERRENS Haand var kommet over mig, om Aftenen før Flygtningen kom, og han aabnede min Mund, før han kom til mig om Morgenen; saa aabnedes min Mund, og jeg var ikke mere stum.
Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he who escaped came. And he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
23 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
24 Menneskesøn! De, der bor i Ruinerne i Israels Land, siger: »Abraham var kun een og fik dog Landet i eje; vi er mange, og os er Landet givet i Eje!«
Son of man, those who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Sig derfor til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: I spiser Kød med Blod i, løfter eders Blik til eders Afgudsbilleder og udgyder Blod, og saa vil I have Landet i Eje!
Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. And shall ye possess the land?
26 I støtter eder til eders Sværd, I øver Vederstyggelighed, I gør hverandres Hustruer urene, og saa vil I have Landet i Eje!
Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbor's wife. And shall ye possess the land?
27 Saaledes skal du sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Saa sandt jeg lever: De i Ruinerne skal falde for Sværdet; dem i aabent Land giver jeg de vilde Dyr til Æde, og de i Klippeborgene og Hulerne skal dø af Pest.
Thus shall thou say to them. Thus says the lord Jehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and he who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 Jeg, gør Landet til Ørk og Ødemark, dets stolte Herlighed faar Ende, og Israels Bjerge skal ligge øde, saa ingen færdes der;
And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. And the pride of her power shall cease. And the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
29 og de, skal kende, at Jeg er HERREN, naar jeg gør Landet til Ørk og Ødemark for alle de Vederstyggeligheder, de har øvet.
Then they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Og du, Menneskesøn, se, dine Landsmænd taler om dig langs Murene og i Husdørene, den ene til den anden, hver til sin Broder, og siger: »Kom og hør, hvad det er for et Ord, der udgaar fra HERREN!«
And as for thee, son of man, the sons of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, each one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.
31 Og de kommer til dig, som var der Opløb, og sætter sig lige over for dig for at høre dine Ord. Men de gør ikke derefter; thi der er Løgn i deres Mund, og deres Hjerte higer efter Vinding.
And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 Og se, du er dem som en, der synger en Elskovssang med liflig Røst og er dygtig til at spille; de hører dine Ord, men gør ikke derefter.
And, lo, thou are to them as a very lovely song of he who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument. For they hear thy words, but they do not do them.
33 Men naar det kommer — og se, det kommer — skal de kende, at en Profet har været iblandt dem.
And when this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then they shall know that a prophet has been among them.
