Ezekiel 8
1 I det sjette Aar paa den femte Dag i den sjette Maaned da jeg sad i mit Hus og Judas Ældste sad hos mig, faldt den Herre HERRENS Haand paa mig.
And it came to in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
2 Og jeg skuede, og se, der var noget ligesom en Mand; fra hans Hofter og nedefter var der Ild, og fra Hofterne og opefter saa det ud som straalende Lys, som funklende Malm.
Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire: and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
3 Han rakte noget som en Haand ud og greb mig ved en Lok af mit Hovedhaar, og Aanden løftede mig op mellem Himmel og Jord og førte mig i Guds Syner til Jerusalem, til Indgangen til den indre Forgaards Nordport, hvor Nidkærhedsbilledet, som vakte Nidkærhed, stod.
And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner [court] that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
4 Og se, der var Israels Guds Herlighed; at se til var den, som jeg saa den i Dalen.
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
5 Og han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn, løft dit Blik mod Nord!« Jeg løftede mit Blik mod Nord, og se, norden for Alterporten stod Nidkærhedsbilledet, ved Indgangen.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 Og han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn, ser du, hvad de gør? Store er de Vederstyggeligheder, Israels Hus øver her, saa jeg maa vige langt bort fra min Helligdom. Men du skal faa endnu større Vederstyggeligheder at se!«
And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet other great abominations.
7 Saa førte han mig hen til Indgangen til Forgaarden.
And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8 Og han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn, bryd igennem Væggen!« Og da jeg brød igennem Væggen, saa jeg en Indgang.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9 Og han sagde til mig: »Gaa ind og se, hvilke grimme Vederstyggeligheder de øver der!«
And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 Og da jeg kom derind og skuede, se, da var alskens væmmelige Billeder af Kryb og Kvæg og alle Israels Hus's Afgudsbilleder indridset rundt om paa Væggen.
So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
11 Og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Hus's Ældste med Ja'azanja, Sjafans Søn, i deres Midte stod foran dem, hver med sit Røgelsekar i Haanden, medens Røgelseskyens Duft steg op.
And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and the odour of the cloud of incense went up.
12 Da sagde han til mig: »Ser du, Menneskesøn, hvad Israels Hus's Ældste øver i Mørke hver i sine Billedkamre? Thi de siger: HERREN ser intet, HERREN har forladt Landet!«
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
13 Og han sagde til mig: »Du skal faa endnu større Vederstyggeligheder at se, som de øver!«
He said also unto me, Thou shalt again see yet other great abominations which they do.
14 Saa førte han mig hen til Indgangen til HERRENS Hus's Nordport, og se, der sad Kvinder og græd over Tammuz.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Og han sagde til mig: »Ser du det, Menneskesøn? Men du skal faa endnu større Vederstyggeligheder at se!«
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? thou shalt again see yet greater abominations than these.
16 Saa førte han mig hen til HERRENS Hus's indre Forgaard, og se, ved Indgangen til HERRENS Helligdom mellem Forhallen og Alteret var der omtrent fem og tyve Mænd; med Ryggen mod HERRENS Helligdom og Ansigtet mod Øst tilbad de Solen.
And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
17 Og han sagde til mig: »Ser du det, Menneskesøn? Har Judas Hus ikke nok i at øve de Vederstyggeligheder her, siden de fylder Landet med Vold og krænker mig endnu mere? Se, hvor de sender Stank op i Næsen paa mig!
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Men derfor vil ogsaa jeg handle med dem i Vrede; jeg viser dem ingen Medynk eller Skaansel, og selv om de højlydt raaber mig ind i Øret, vil jeg ikke høre dem.«
Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
