Ezekiel 13

1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2 Menneskesøn, profeter mod Israels Profeter, profeter og sig til dem, som profeterer efter deres eget Hjertes Tilskyndelse: Hør HERRENs Ord!

“Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you have said to those prophesying from their own heart, Hear a word of YHWH!

3 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Profeterne, de Dårer, som følger deres egen Ånd uden at have skuet noget!

Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.

4 Dine Profeter, Israel, er som Sjakaler i Ruiner.

Your prophets have been As foxes in the wasteland, O Israel.

5 De stillede sig ikke i Murbruddet og byggede ikke en Mur om Israels Hus, så det kunde stå sig i Striden på HERRENs Dag.

You have not gone up into breaches, Nor do you make a wall for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of YHWH.

6 De skuede Tomhed og spåede Løgn, idet de sagde: "Så lyder det fra HERREN! " uden at HERREN havde sendt dem, og dog ventede de Ordet stadfæstet,

They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: A declaration of YHWH, And YHWH has not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.

7 Var det ikke tomme Syner, I skuede, og Løgnespådomme, I fremsatte? Og I siger: "Så lyder det fra HERREN!" uden at jeg har talet.

Have you not seen a vain vision, And spoken a lying divination, When you say, A declaration of YHWH, And I have not spoken?

8 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I forkynder Tomhed og skuer Løgn, se, derfor kommer jeg over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, behold, I [am] against you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

9 Jeg udrækker min Hånd mod Profeterne, der skuer Tomhed og spår Løgn; i mit Folks Samfund skal de ikke være, de skal ikke optages i Israels Huses Mandtalsbog og ikke komme til Israels Land; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.

And My hand has been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, They are not in the assembly of My people, And they are not written in the writing of the house of Israel, And they do not come to the ground of Israel, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.

10 Fordi, ja fordi de vildleder mit Folk ved af forkynde Fred, hvor ingen Fred er, og når det bygger en Væg, stryger den over med Kalk,

Because, even because, they caused My people to err, Saying, Peace! And there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And behold, they are coating it with chalk.

11 så sig til dem, der stryger over med kalk: Skylregn skal komme, Isstykker skal falde og Stormvejr bryde løs,

Say to those coating with chalk—It falls, There has been an overflowing shower, And you, O hailstones, fall, And a turbulent wind breaks out,

12 og når så Væggen styrter sammen, vil man da ikke spørge eder: "Hvor er Kalken, I strøg på?"

And behold, the wall has fallen! Does one not say to you, Where [is] the coating that you coated?

13 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Og jeg lader et Stormvejr bryde løs i min Harme, og Skylregn skal komme i min Vrede og Isstykker i min Harme til Undergang;

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have broken with a turbulent wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in My anger, And hailstones in My fury—to consume.

14 og Væggen, som I strøg over med Kalk, river jeg ned og lader den styrte til Jorden, så dens Grundvold blottes, og ved dens Fald skal I gå til Grunde derinde; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I have broken down the wall that you coated with chalk, And have caused it to come to the earth, And its foundation has been revealed, And it has fallen, And you have been consumed in its midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

15 Jeg vil udtømme min Vrede over Væggen og dem, der strøg den over med Kalk, så man skal sige til eder: "Hvor er Væggen, og hvor er de, som strøg den over,

And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those coating it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those coating it are not,

16 Israels Profeter, som profeterede om Jerusalem og skuede Fredssyner for det, hvor ingen Fred var - lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

[These]—the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing a vision of peace for her, And there is no peace, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

17 Og du, Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod dit Folks Døtre, som profeterer efter deres eget Hjertes Tilskyndelse; profeter imod dem

And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,

18 og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve dem, der syr Bind til alle Håndled og laver Slør til alle Hoveder efter hver Legemshøjde for at fange Sjæle! Dræber I Sjæle, der hører til mit Folk, og holder Sjæle i Live af Egennytte?

And you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to those sowing [magic] bands for all joints of the arm, And to those making the veils For the head of every stature—to hunt souls, Do you hunt the souls of My people? And do your souls that live remain alive?

19 I, som vanhelliger mig for mit Folk for nogle Håndfulde Bygkorn og nogle Bidder Brød og således dræber Sjæle, der ikke skulde dø, og holder Sjæle i Live, som ikke skulde leve, idet I lyver for mit Folk, som gerne hører på Løgn!

Indeed, you pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, To put to death souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people—listening to lies.

20 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over eders Bind, med hvilke I fanger Sjæle, og river dem af eders Arme, og de Sjæle, I fanger, lader jeg slippe fri som Fugle;

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against your [magic] bands, With which you are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have torn them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that you are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.

21 og jeg sønderriver eders Slør og frier mit Folk af eders Hånd, så de ikke mere er Bytte i eders Hånd; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I have torn your veils, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no longer for a prey in your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

22 Fordi I ved Svig volder den retfærdiges Hjerte Smerte, skønt jeg ikke vilde volde ham Smerte, og styrker den gudløses Hænder, så han ikke omvender sig fra sin onde Vej, at jeg kan holde ham i Live,

Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn [him] back from his evil way, To keep him alive,

23 derfor skal I ikke mere skue Tomhed eller drive eders Spådomskunst; jeg frier mit Folk af eders Hånd; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

Therefore, you do not see vanity, And you do not divine divination again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH!”
