Ezekiel 34

1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2 Menneskesøn, profeter mod Israels Hyrder, profeter og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Israels Hyrder, som røgtede sig selv! Skal Hyrderne ikke røgte Hjorden?

“Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?

3 I fortærede Mælken, med Ulden klædte I eder, de fede Dyr slagtede I, men Hjorden røgtede I ikke;

You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.

4 de svage Dyr styrkede I ikke, de syge lægte I ikke, de saarede forbandt I ikke, de adsplittede bragte I ikke tilbage, de vildfarende opsøgte I ikke, men I styrede dem med Haardhed og Grumhed.

You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.

5 Derfor spredtes de, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr; ja, de spredtes.

And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.

6 Min Hjord flakkede om paa alle Bjerge og paa hver en høj Banke, og over hele Jorden spredtes min Hjord, og ingen spurgte eller ledte efter dem.

My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

7 Derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENS Ord!

Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:

8 Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Fordi min Hjord blev til Rov, fordi min Hjord blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og Hyrderne ikke spurgte efter min Hjord, og fordi Hyrderne røgtede sig selv og ikke min Hjord,

[As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.

9 derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENS Ord!

Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!

10 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg, kommer over Hyrderne og kræver min Hjord af deres Haand, og jeg sætter dem fra at vogte min Hjord; Hyrderne skal ikke mere kunne røgte sig selv; jeg redder min Hjord af deres Gab, saa den ikke skal tjene dem til Æde.

Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.

11 Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil selv spørge efter min Hjord og tage mig af den.

For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

12 Som en Hyrde tager sig af sin Hjord paa Stormvejrets Dag, saaledes tager jeg mig af min Hjord og redder den fra de Steder, hvorhen de spredtes paa Skyernes og Mulmets Dag;

As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

13 jeg fører dem bort fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra Landene og bringer dem til deres Land, og jeg, røgter dem paa Israels Bjerge, i Kløfterne og paa alle Landets beboede Steder.

And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.

14 Paa gode Græsgange vil jeg vogte dem, og paa Israels Bjerghøjder skal deres Græsmarker være; der skal de lejre sig paa gode Græsmarker, og i fede Græsgange skal de græsse paa Israels Bjerge.

I feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.

15 Jeg vil selv røgte min Hjord og selv lade dem lejre sig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

16 De vildfarende Dyr vil jeg opsøge, de adsplittede vil jeg bringe tilbage, de saarede vil jeg forbinde de svage vil jeg styrke, og de fede og kraftige vil jeg vogte; jeg vil røgte dem, som det er ret.

I seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.

17 Og I, min Hjord! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil skifte. Ret mellem Faar og Faar, mellem Vædre og Bukke.

And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male goats.

18 Er det eder ikke nok at græsse paa den bedste Græsgang, siden I nedtramper, hvad der er levnet af eders Græsgange? Er det eder ikke nok at drikke det klare Vand, siden I med eders Fødder plumrer, hvad der er levnet?

Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder with your feet,

19 Min Hjord maa græsse, hvad I har nedtrampet, og drikke, hvad I har plumret med eders Fødder!

And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?

20 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer for at skifte Ret mellem de fede og de magre Faar.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.

21 Fordi I med Side og Skulder skubbede alle de svage Dyr bort og stangede dem med eders Horn, til I fik dem drevet ud,

Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,

22 derfor vil jeg hjælpe min Hjord, saa den ikke mere skal blive til Rov, og skifte Ret mellem Faar og Faar.

Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.

23 Jeg sætter een Hyrde over dem, min Tjener David, og han skal vogte dem; han skal vogte dem, og han skal være deres Hyrde.

And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,

24 Og jeg, HERREN, vil være deres Gud, og min Tjener David skal være Fyrste iblandt dem, saa sandt jeg, HERREN, har talet.

And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.

25 Jeg vil slutte en Fredspagt med dem og udrydde de vilde Dyr at Landet, saa de trygt kan bo i Ørkenen og sove i Skovene.

And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.

26 Og jeg gør dem og Landet rundt om min Høj til Velsignelse, og jeg sender Regn i rette Tid, mine Byger skal blive til Velsignelse.

And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are showers of blessing.

27 Markens Træer skal give deres Frugt og Landet sin Afgrøde; trygt skal de bo paa deres Jord, og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg bryder Stængerne paa deres Aag og frelser dem af deres Haand, som gjorde dem til Trælle.

And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.

28 Ikke mere skal de blive til Rov for Folkene, og Landets vilde Dyr skal ikke æde dem; trygt skal de bo, uden at nogen skræmmer dem.

And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

29 Jeg lader en Fredens Plantning vokse op for dem, og ingen skal rives bort af Hunger i Landet, og de skal ikke mere bære Folkenes Haan.

And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.

30 De skal kende, at jeg, HERREN deres Gud, er med dem, og at de er mit Folk, Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

31 I er min Hjord, I er den Hjord, jeg røgter, og jeg er eders Gud, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
