Ezekiel 6

1 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

2 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Israels Bjerge, profeter imod dem

“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,

3 og sig: Israels Bjerge, hør den Herre HERRENS Ord! Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene og Højene, til Kløfterne og Dalene: Se, jeg sender Sværd over eder og tilintetgør eders Offerhøje.

and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

4 Eders Altre skal ødelægges, eders Solstøtter sønderbrydes, og eders dræbte lader jeg segne foran eders Afgudsbilleder;

Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

5 jeg kaster Israeliternes Lig hen for deres Afgudsbilleder og strør eders Ben rundt om eders Altre.

I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. I will scatter your bones around your altars.

6 Overalt hvor I bor, skal Byerne lægges øde og Offerhøjene gaa til Grunde, for at eders Altre kan lægges øde og gaa til Grunde, eders Afgudsbilleder sønderbrydes og udryddes, eders Solstøtter hugges om og eders Værker tilintetgøres.

In all your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

7 Mandefald skal ske iblandt eder, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

8 Men en Rest lader jeg blive tilbage, idet nogle af eder undslipper fra Sværdet blandt Folkene, naar I spredes i Landene,

“‘“Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.

9 og de undslupne skal komme mig i Hu blandt Folkene, hvor de er Fanger; jeg sønderbryder deres bolerske Hjerter, som faldt fra mig, og deres bolerske Øjne, som hang ved deres Afgudsbilleder; og de skal væmmes ved sig selv over alt det onde, de har gjort, over alle deres Vederstyggeligheder.

Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10 Og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN; det var ikke tomme Ord, naar jeg talede om at gøre den Ulykke paa dem.

They will know that I am the LORD. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”’

11 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Slaa Hænderne sammen, stamp med Foden og raab Ve over alle Israels Hus's grimme Vederstyggeligheder! De skal falde for Sværd, Hunger og Pest.

“The Lord GOD says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas!”, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

12 Den, som er langt borte, skal dø af Pest; den, som er nær, skal falde for Sværd; og den, som levnes og reddes, skal dø af Hunger; saaledes udtømmer jeg min Vrede over dem.

He who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath on them.

13 De skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar deres dræbte ligger midt iblandt deres Afgudsbilleder rundt om deres Altre paa hver høj Bakke, paa alle Bjergenes Tinder, under hvert grønt Træ og hver løvrig Eg, der, hvor de opsendte liflig Duft til deres Afgudsbilleder.

You will know that I am the LORD when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.

14 Jeg udrækker Haanden imod dem og gør Landet øde og tomt lige fra Ørkenen til Ribla, overalt hvor de bor; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

I will stretch out my hand on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
