Ezekiel 36
1 Men du, Menneskesøn, profetér om Israels Bjerge og sig: Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENS Ord.
Thou therefore. Son of man, Prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, —and thou shalt say, Ye mountains of Israel Hear ye the word of Yahweh.
2 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: »Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!«
Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because the enemy hath said concerning you Aha! Even the high places of age-past times, for a possession have become ours
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 thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh-Because even because they have desolated and panted for you on every side That ye should become a possession to the rest of the nations, And ye have come up into the talk of the tongue and the slander 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 ye the word of My Lord Yahweh, — Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, To the mountains and to the hills, to the channels and to the valleys, and to the desolate waste places and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and a derision, to the rest of the nations which are on every side:
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 My Lord, Yahweh, Surely in the fire of my jealousy, have I spoken against the rest of the nations and against Edom all of it, — Who have given my land to themselves for a possession, In the rejoicing of all the heart In contempt of soul, To make of its produce 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.
Therefore prophesy, concerning the soil of Israel, —and say to the mountains and to the hills to the channels and to the valleys, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! In my jealousy and in mine indignation, have I spoken, Because the insult of the nations, ye have borne;
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 My Lord Yahweh, I myself have lifted my hand, - Surely the nations which are yours round about, they their own shame, shall bear:
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 Your boughs, shall ye shoot forth, And your fruit, shall ye bear For my people Israel, For they have drawn near to enter.
9 Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsaas;
For lo! I am towards you, Therefore will I turn towards 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, upon you—men, All the house of Israel All of it, Then shall the cities be inhabited, And the waste places, shall be built,
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 multiply and be fruitful, — And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;
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.
And I will bring upon you—men even my people Israel That they may possess thee, So shalt thou be theirs, as an inheritance, -And thou shalt no more again make them childless.
13 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: »Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!«
Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because they are saying to you. A devourer of men, thou art, And one that didst make childless thy nations, hast thou been
14 derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
Therefore, men, shalt thou not devour any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou make childless no more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh;
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.
And I will not suffer to be heard against thee any more, the insult of the nations, And the reproach of the peoples, shalt thou not bear any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou not cause to stumble any more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
16 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of Yahweh 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 The house of Israel were dwelling upon their own soil, But they defiled it by their way, and by their doings. Like the defilement of her that is removed, became their way before me.
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.
So I poured out mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land, - Yea with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it.
19 Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.
So I dispersed them among the nations, And they were scattered throughout the lands, — 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!«
But when they entered among the nations where they did enter, then profaned they my holy Name, —in that it was said of them The people of Yahweh, these! Yet from his land, have they come forth!
21 Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.
So then I had tender regard for my holy Name, - Which the house of Israel had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered.
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 thou to the house of Israel Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am I working. O house of Israel, But for my holy Name which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered;
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.
Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst, -So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes.
24 Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.
Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands, - And will bring you upon your own soil;
25 Da stænker jeg rent Vand paa eder, saa I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.
And I will throw upon you clean water and ye shall be clean, — From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, 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.
And I will give you a new heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, -And I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, And will give you a 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 my spirit, will I put within you, And will cause That in my statutes, ye shall walk, And my regulations, ye shall observe, and do;
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 which I gave to your fathers, - And ye shall become my people, And I will become your God;
29 Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenhed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.
And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine; And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine;
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, — To the end that ye may not receive any more the reproach of famine among the nations.
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 call to mind Your ways that were wicked, and Your doings that were not good, - And shall become loathsome 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, am I working, Declareth My Lord Yahweh be it known to you, — Turn ye pale and then blush for your 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 My Lord, Yahweh, In the day when I cleanse you, from all your iniquities, Then will I cause the cities to be inhabited, And the waste places shall be built;
34 det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.
And the land that was made desolate shall be tilled, — Whereas it was a desolation, before the eyes of every passer-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 made desolate hath become like the garden of Eden, - And the cities that were waste and deserted and thrown down, now fenced, 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.
So shall the nations that may be left remaining round about you know that, I Yahweh— Have built that which was thrown down, and Have planted that which was made desolate, — I Yahweh, have spoken and performed.
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 My Lord Yahweh, Even yet—for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel to work for them, — I will multiply them-Like a flock—with men:
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.
Like a flock of holy offerings Like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, So, shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men, - And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
