Ezekiel 12
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Menneskesøn! Du bor midt i den genstridige Slægt, som har Øjne at se med, men ikke ser, og Ører at høre med, men ikke hører, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
“Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
3 Men du, Menneskesøn, udrust dig ved højlys Dag i deres Påsyn som en, der drager i Landflygtighed, og drag så i deres Påsyn fra Stedet, hvor du bor, til et andet Sted! Måske de så får Øjnene op; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
4 Bær ved højlys dag i deres Påsyn dine Sager udenfor, som om du skal i Landflygtighed, men selv skal du drage bort om Aftenen i deres Påsyn som en, der drager i Landflygtighed.
Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
5 Slå i deres Påsyn Hul i Væggen og drag ud derigennem;
As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.
6 tag Sagerne på Skulderen og drag ud i Bælgmørke med tilhyllet Ansigt uden at se Landet; thi jeg gør dig til et Tegn for Israels Hus!
And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 Og jeg gjorde, som der bødes mig: Jeg bar ved højlys Dag mine Sager udenfor, som om jeg skulde i Landflygtighed, og om Aftenen slog jeg med Hånden Hul i Væggen, og i Bælgmørke drog jeg ud; jeg tog det på Skulderen i deres Påsyn.
So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
8 Næste Morgen kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9 Menneskesøn! Har Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt, ikke spurgt dig: "Hvad gør du der?"
“Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 Sig til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Således skal det være med Fyrsten, denne Byrde i Jerusalem, og hele Israels Hus derinde.
Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’
11 Sig: Jeg er eder et Tegn; som jeg har gjort, skal der gøres med dem: I Landflygtighed og Fangenskab skal de drage.
You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives.
12 Og Fyrsten i deres Midte skal tage sine Sager på Skulderen, og i Bælgmørke skal han drage ud, han skal slå Hul i Væggen for at drage ud derigennem, og han skal tilhylle sit Ansigt for ikke at se Landet.
And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land.
13 Men jeg breder mit Net over ham, og han skal fanges i mit Garn; og jeg bringer ham til Bael i kaldæernes Land, som han dog ikke skal se; og der skal han dø.
But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.
14 Og alle hans Omgivelser, hans Hjælpere og alle hans Hærskarer vil jeg udstrø for alle Vinde og drage Sværdet bag dem.
And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.
15 Da skal de kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg spreder dem: blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.
And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
16 Kun nogle få af dem levner jeg fra Sværd, Hunger og Pest, for at de kan fortælle om alle deres Vederstyggeligheder blandt de Folk, de kommer til; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
17 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 Menneskesøn, spis Brød i Angst og drik Vand i Frygt og Bæven;
“Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
19 og sig til Landets Folk: Så siger den Herre HERREN om Jerusalems Indbyggere i Israels Land: Brød skal de spise med Bæven, og Vand skal de drikke med Rædsel, for at deres Land og alt deri må ligge øde til Straf for alle dets Indbyggeres Voldsfærd; ,
Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
20 og Byerne, der nu er beboet, skal ligge øde, og Landet skal blive til Ørk; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
21 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
22 Menneskesøn! Hvad er det for et Mundheld, I har om Israels Land: "Det trækker i Langdrag, og alle Syner slår fejl!"
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?
23 Sig derfor til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil bringe dette Mundheld til at forstumme, så de ikke mere bruger det i Israel. Sig tværtimod til dem: "Tiden er nær, og alle Syner træffer ind!"
Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.
24 Thi der skal ikke mere være noget Løgnesyn eller nogen falsk Spådom i Israels Hus,
For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,
25 men jeg, HERREN taler, hvad jeg vil, og det skal ske. Det skal ikke længer trække i Langdrag; men i eders Dage, du genstridige Slægt, vil jeg tale et Ord og fuldbyrde det, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”
26 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
27 Menneskesøn! Se, Israels Hus siger: "Synet, han skuer, gælder sene Dage, og han profeterer om fjerne Tider!"
“Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’
28 Sig derfor til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Intet af mine Ord skal lade vente på sig mere; hvad jeg taler, skal ske, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’”
