Ezekiel 6

1 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

And the word of the Lord 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 you shall prophesy against 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 you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and hills and cliffs and valleys: Behold, I will lead over you the sword. And I will destroy your exalted places.

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

And I will demolish your altars. And your graven images will be broken apart. And I will throw down your slain before your idols.

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

And I will lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel before the face of your idols. And 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 of your habitations, the cities will be made desolate, and the exalted places will be torn down and scattered. And your altars will be broken and destroyed. And your idols will cease to exist. And your shrines will be crushed. And your works will be wiped away.

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

And the slain will fall in your midst. And you shall 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,

And I will leave among you those who will escape the sword among the Gentiles, when I will have dispersed you upon the earth.

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.

And your liberated shall remember me among the nations to which they were led away as captives. For I have crushed their heart, which fornicated and withdrew from me, and their eyes, which fornicated after their idols. And they will be displeased with themselves over the evils that they have done by 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.

And they shall know that I, the Lord, have not spoken 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.

Thus says the Lord God: “Strike with your hand, and stomp with your foot, and say: ‘Alas, to all the abominations of the evils of the house of Israel!’ For they will fall by the sword, by famine, and by 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.

Whoever is far away will die of pestilence. But whoever is near will fall by the sword. And whoever remains and is besieged will die by famine. And I will fulfill my indignation among 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.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain will be in the midst of your idols, all around your altars, on every exalted hill, and on the summits of all the mountains, and under every dense tree, and under every leafy oak: the places where they burned sweet-smelling incense 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.

And I will extend my hand over them. And I will make the earth desolate and destitute: from the desert of Riblah to all their dwelling places. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
