Ezekiel 36
1 Men du, Menneskesøn, profetér om Israels Bjerge og sig: Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENS Ord.
Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
2 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: »Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!«
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
3 derfor skal du profetere og sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi man har higet og snappet efter eder fra alle Sider, for at I skulde tilfalde Resten af Folkene som Ejendom, og fordi I er kommet i Folkemunde,
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:
4 derfor, Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENS Ord: Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfterne og Dalene, til de øde Tomter og de forladte Byer, som er blevet til Rov og til Spot for Resten af Folkene rundt om,
Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that [are] round about;
5 derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, i brændende Nidkærhed vil jeg tale mod Resten af Folkene og mod hele Edom, som med al Hjertets Glæde og Sjælens Ringeagt udsaa sig mit Land til Ejendom for at drive Indbyggerne bort og gøre det til Rov.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all [their] heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
6 Profeter derfor om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfterne og Dalene: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg taler i Nidkærhed og Harme, fordi I bærer Folkenes Haan.
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
7 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg løfter min Haand og sværger: Sandelig, Folkene rundt om eder skal selv bære deres Haan.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear their shame.
8 Og I, Israels Bjerge, skal skyde Grene og bære Frugt for mit Folk Israel, thi de skal snart komme hjem.
But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
9 Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsaas;
For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:
10 jeg gør Mennesker, alt Israels Hus, mangfoldige paa eder, Byerne skal bebos og Ruinerne genopbygges;
And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, [even] all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:
11 jeg gør Mennesker og Dyr mangfoldige paa eder, ja de skal blive mangfoldige og frugtbare; jeg lader eder bebos som i fordums Tider og gør det bedre for eder end i Fortiden; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better [unto you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
12 Jeg lader Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, færdes paa eder; de skal tage dig i Eje, og du skal være deres Arvelod og ikke mere gøre dem barnløse.
Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men].
13 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: »Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!«
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou [land] devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
14 derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
15 Og jeg lader dig ikke mere høre Folkenes Haan, og du skal ikke mere bære Folkeslagenes Spot eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
Neither will I cause [men] to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
16 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17 Menneskesøn! Da Israels Slægt boede i deres Land, gjorde de det urent ved deres Færd og Gerninger; som en Kvindes renhed var deres Færd for mit Aasyn.
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Saa udøste jeg min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, de udgød i Landet, og fordi de gjorde det urent med deres Afgudsbilleder.
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols [wherewith] they had polluted it:
19 Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.
And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20 Saaledes kom de til Folkene: hvor de kom hen, vanærede de mit hellige Navn, idet man sagde om dem: »De der er HERRENS Folk, og dog maatte de ud af hans Land!«
And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
21 Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.
But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Det er ikke for eders Skyld, jeg griber ind, Israels Hus, men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, som I har vanæret blandt de Folk, I kom til.
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 Jeg vil hellige mit store Navn, som vanæres blandt Folkene, idet I har vanæret det iblandt dem; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, naar jeg helliger mig paa eder for deres Øjne.
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 Da stænker jeg rent Vand paa eder, saa I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 Jeg giver eder et nyt Hjerte, og en ny Aand giver jeg i eders Indre; Stenhjertet tager jeg ud af eders Kød og giver eder et Kødhjerte.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 Jeg giver min Aand i eders Indre og virker, at I følger mine Vedtægter og tager Vare paa at holde mine Lovbud,
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].
28 I skal bo i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre, og I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenhed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.
I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30 Jeg mangfoldiggør Træernes Frugter og Markens Afgrøde, for at I ikke mere skal tage en Hungersnøds Skændsel paa eder blandt Folkene.
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
31 Da skal I ihukomme eders onde Veje og eders Gerninger, som ikke var gode, og ledes ved eder selv over eders Misgerninger og Vederstyggeligheder.
Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that [were] not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Ikke for eders Skyld griber jeg ind, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, det være eder kundgjort! Skam jer og blues over eders Veje, Israels Hus!
Not for your sakes do I [this], saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Den Dag jeg renser eder for alle eders Misgerninger, lader jeg Byerne bebos, og Ruinerne skal genopbygges;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
34 det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.
And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35 Da skal man sige: »Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og Byerne, som var omstyrtet, ødelagt og nedrevet, er befæstet og beboet.«
And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are become] fenced, [and] are inhabited.
36 Og Folkene, der er tilbage rundt om eder, skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har opbygget de nedrevne Byer og tilplantet det ødelagte Land; jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined [places, and] plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken [it], and I will do [it].
37 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ogsaa dette vil jeg gøre for Israels Hus paa deres Bøn: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige som en Hjord af Mennesker;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do [it] for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 som en Hjord af Offerdyr, som Jerusalems Faarehjorde paa dets Højtider skal de omstyrtede Byer blive fulde af Menneskehjorde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
