Ezekiel 37
1 HERRENS Haand kom over mig, og han førte mig i Aanden ud og satte mig midt i Dalen. Den var fuld af Ben;
There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
2 og han førte mig rundt omkring dem, og se, de laa i store Mængder ud over Dalen, og se, de var aldeles tørre.
and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.
3 Derpaa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn! kan disse Ben blive levende?« Jeg svarede: »Herre, HERRE, du ved det!«
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, 'O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.'
4 Saa sagde han til mig: Profetér over disse Ben og sig til dem: I tørre Ben, hør HERRENS Ord!
And He saith unto me, 'Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:
5 Saa siger den Herre HERREN til disse Ben: Se, jeg bringer Aand i eder, saa I bliver levende.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,
6 Jeg lægger Sener om eder, lader Kød vokse frem paa eder, overtrækker eder med Hud og indgiver eder Aand, saa I bliver levende; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
7 Saa profeterede jeg, som mig var paalagt, og der hørtes en Lyd, da jeg profeterede, og se, der hørtes Raslen, og Benene nærmede sig hverandre.
And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.
8 Og jeg skuede, og se, der kom Sener paa dem, Kød voksede frem, og de blev overtrukket med Hud, men der var ingen Aand i dem.
And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above — and spirit there is none in them.
9 Saa sagde han til mig: Profetér og tal til Aanden, profetér, du Menneskesøn, og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Aand, kom fra de fire Verdenshjørner og blæs paa disse dræbte, at de maa blive levende!
And He saith unto me: 'Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.'
10 Da profeterede jeg, som han bød mig, og Aanden kom i dem, og de blev levende og rejste sig paa deres Fødder, en saare, saare stor Hær.
And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.
11 Derpaa sagde han til mig: Menneskesøn! Disse Ben er alt Israels Hus. Se, de siger: »Vore Ben er tørre, vort Haab er svundet, det er ude med os!«
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.
12 Profetér derfor og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg aabner eders Grave og fører eder ud af dem, mit Folk, og bringer eder til Israels Land;
Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.
13 og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg aabner eders Grave og fører eder ud af dem, mit Folk.
And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.
14 Jeg indgiver eder min Aand, saa I bliver levende, og jeg bosætter eder i eders Land; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN; jeg har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det, lyder det fra HERREN.
And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Jehovah.'
15 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
16 Du, Menneskesøn, tag dig et Stykke Træ og skriv derpaa: Juda og hans Medbrødre blandt Israeliterne! Tag saa et andet Stykke Træ og skriv derpaa: Josef — Efraims Træ — og hans Medbrødre, alt Israels Hus!
'And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,
17 Føj dem saa sammen til eet Stykke, saa de bliver eet i din Haand.
and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.
18 Og naar saa dine Landsmænd siger til dig: »Vil du ikke sige os, hvad du mener dermed?«
'And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?
19 sig saa til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg tager Josefs Træ, som var i Efraims Haand, og Israels Stammer, hans Medbrødre, og føjer dem til Judas Træ og gør dem til eet Stykke og de skal blive eet i Judas Haand.
Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.
20 Og Træstykkerne, du skrev paa, skal være i din Haand, saa de kan se dem.
And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,
21 Tal saa til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg henter Israeliterne fra Folkene, til hvilke de vandrede hen, og samler dem alle Vegne fra og bringer dem til deres Land.
and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.
22 Jeg gør dem til eet Folk i Landet paa Israels Bjerge; og de skal alle have en og samme Konge og ikke mere være to Folk eller delt i to Riger.
And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.
23 De skal ikke mere gøre sig urene ved deres Afgudsbilleder og væmmelige Guder eller alle deres Overtrædelser, og jeg vil frelse dem fra alt deres Frafald, hvormed de forsyndede sig, og rense dem, og de skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to them for God.
24 Min Tjener David skal være Konge over dem, og alle skal de have en og samme Hyrde. De skal følge mine Lovbud og holde mine Vedtægter og gøre efter dem.
And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.
25 De skal bo i det Land, jeg gav min Tjener Jakob, der hvor deres Fædre boede; de skal bo der til evig Tid, de, deres Børn og Børnebørn; og min Tjener David skal være deres Fyrste evindelig.
And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons — unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince — to the age.
26 Jeg slutter en Fredspagt med dem, en evig Pagt skal det være; og jeg gør dem mangfoldige og sætter min Helligdom i deres Midte evindelig;
And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst — to the age.
27 min Bolig skal være over dem; jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mit Folk.
And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.
28 Og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, som helliger Israel, naar min Helligdom bliver i deres Midte evindelig.
And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!'
