Ezekiel 12
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And 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, thou dwellest in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking 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.
Thou therefore, son of man, prepare thyself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and thou shalt be led into captivity from thy place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking 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.
And thou shalt carry forth thy baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.
5 Slå i deres Påsyn Hul i Væggen og drag ud derigennem;
Dig for thyself into the wall [of the house], and thou shalt pass through it in their sight:
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!
thou shalt be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shalt go forth in secret: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: because I have made thee 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.
And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.
8 Næste Morgen kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,
9 Menneskesøn! Har Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt, ikke spurgt dig: "Hvad gør du der?"
Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee, What doest thou?
10 Sig til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Således skal det være med Fyrsten, denne Byrde i Jerusalem, og hele Israels Hus derinde.
Say to them, Thus saith the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:
11 Sig: Jeg er eder et Tegn; som jeg har gjort, skal der gøres med dem: I Landflygtighed og Fangenskab skal de drage.
say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.
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 the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.
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.
And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
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 his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;
15 Da skal de kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg spreder dem: blandt Folkene og udstrør dem i Landene.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them among the nations; and I will disperse them in 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.
And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And 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 thy bread with sorrow, and drink [thy] water with torment and affliction.
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; ,
And thou shalt say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.
20 og Byerne, der nu er beboet, skal ligge øde, og Landet skal blive til Ørk; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
21 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And 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 your parable on the land of Israel, that ye say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
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 say to them, Thus saith the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for thou shalt say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.
24 Thi der skal ikke mere være noget Løgnesyn eller nogen falsk Spådom i Israels Hus,
For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children 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.
For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], saith the Lord.
26 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Moreover 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, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.
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 say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, saith the Lord.
