Ezekiel 7
1 Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Du, Menneskesøn, sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Israels Land: Enden kommer, Enden kommer over Landet vidt og bredt!
“O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Nu kommer Enden over dig, og jeg sender min Vrede imod dig og dømmer dig efter dine Veje og gengælder dig alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.
The end is now upon you, and I will unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
4 Jeg viser dig ingen Medynk eller Skaansel, men gengælder dig dine Veje, og dine Vederstyggeligheder skal blive i din Midte; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
5 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ulykke følger paa Ulykke; se, det kommer!
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster — behold, it is coming!
6 Enden kommer, Enden kommer; den er vaagnet og tager Sigte paa dig; se, det kommer!
The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!
7 Turen kommer til dig, som bor i Landet; Tiden er inde, Dagen er nær, en Dag med Rædsel og ikke med Frydeskrig paa Bjergene.
Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
8 Nu udøser jeg snart min Harme over dig og udtømmer min Vrede paa dig, dømmer dig efter dine Veje og gengælder dig alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.
Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and vent My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
9 Jeg viser dig ingen Medynk eller Skaansel, men gengælder dig dine Veje, og dine Vederstyggeligheder skal blive i din Midte; og I skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, er den, som slaar.
I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.
10 Se, Dagen! Se, det kommer; Turen kommer til dig! Riset blomstrer, Overmodet grønnes.
Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed.
11 Vold rejser sig til et Ris over Gudløshed; der bliver intet tilbage af dem, intet af deres larmende Hob, intet af deres Gods, og der er ingen Herlighed iblandt dem.
Their violence has grown into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and nothing of value.
12 Tiden er inde, Dagen er nær; Køberen skal ikke glæde sig og Sælgeren ikke sørge, thi Vrede kommer over al den larmende Hob derinde.
The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is upon the whole multitude.
13 Thi Sælgeren skal ikke vende tilbage til det solgte, om han end bliver i Live; thi Synet om al den larmende Hob derinde tages ikke tilbage, og ingen skal styrke sit Liv ved sin Misgerning.
The seller will surely not recover what he sold while both remain alive. For the vision concerning the whole multitude will not be revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life.
14 Man støder i Hornet og gør alt rede, men ingen drager i krig; thi min Vrede kommer over al den larmende Hob derinde.
They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one goes to war, for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.
15 Sværd ude og Pest og Hunger inde! De, der er i Marken, omkommer for Sværd, og dem, der er i Byen, fortærer Hunger og Pest.
The sword is outside; plague and famine are within. Those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.
16 Og selv om nogle af dem undslipper og naar op i Bjergene som Kløfternes Duer, skal de alle dø, hver for sin Misgerning.
The survivors will escape and live in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity.
17 Alle Hænder er slappe, alle Knæ flyder som Vand.
Every hand will go limp, and every knee will turn to water.
18 De klæder sig i Sæk, og Rædsel omhyller dem; alle Ansigter er skamfulde, alle Hoveder skaldede.
They will put on sackcloth, and terror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved.
19 Deres Sølv kaster de ud paa Gaden, deres Guld regnes for Snavs; deres Sølv og Guld kan ikke redde dem paa HERRENS Vredes Dag; de kan ikke stille deres Hunger eller fylde deres Bug dermed, thi det var dem Aarsag til Skyld.
They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.
20 I dets straalende Pragt satte de deres Stolthed, og deres vederstyggelige Billeder, deres væmmelige Guder, lavede de deraf: derfor gør jeg det til Snavs for dem.
His beautiful ornaments they transformed into pride and used them to fashion their vile images and detestable idols. Therefore I will make these into something unclean for them.
21 Jeg giver det som Bytte i de fremmedes Haand og som Rov til de mest gudløse paa Jorden, og de skal vanhellige det.
And I will hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile them.
22 Jeg vender mit Aasyn fra dem og man skal vanhellige mit Klenodie, Ransmænd skal trænge ind og vanhellige det.
I will turn My face away from them, and they will defile My treasured place. Violent men will enter it, and they will defile it.
23 Gør Lænkerne rede! Thi Landet er fuldt af Blodskyld og Byen af Vold.
Forge the chain, for the land is full of crimes of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence.
24 Jeg henter de værste af Folkene, og de skal tage Husene i Eje; jeg gør Ende paa de mægtiges Stolthed, og deres Helligdomme skal vanhelliges.
So I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will end the pride of the mighty, and their holy places will be profaned.
25 Der opstaar Angst; man søger Redning, men finder den ikke.
Anguish is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.
26 Uheld følger paa Uheld, Rygte paa Rygte; man skal tigge Profeten om et Syn, Præsten kommer til kort med Vejledning og de Ældste med Raad.
Disaster upon disaster will come, and rumor after rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction from the priests will perish, as will counsel from the elders.
27 Kongen sørger, Fyrsten hyller sig i Rædsel, og Landboernes Hænder lammes af Forfærdelse. Jeg gør med dem efter deres Færd og dømmer dem, som de fortjener; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and I will judge them by their own standards. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
