Ezekiel 3
1 Så sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, slug hvad du her har for dig, slug denne Bogrulle og gå så hen og tal til Israels Hus!"
And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.
2 Så åbnede jeg Munden, og han lod mig sluge Bogrullen
So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
3 og sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Lad din Bug fortære den Bogrulle, jeg her giver dig, og fyld dine Indvolde dermed!" Og jeg slugte den, og den var sød som Honning i min Mund.
your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
4 Så sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, gå til Israels Hus og tal mine Ord til dem!
And he said to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Thi du sendes til Israels Folk, ikke til et Folk med dybt Mål og tungt Mæle,
For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [but] to the house of Israel;
6 ikke til mange Hånde Folkeslag med dybt Mål og tungt Mæle, hvis Tale du ikke fatter, hvis jeg sendte dig til dem, vilde de høre dig.
neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.
7 Men Israels Hus vil ikke høre dig, thi de vil ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har hårde Pander og stive Hjerter.
But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
8 Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt hårdt som deres Ansigter og din Pande hård som deres Pander;
And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.
9 som Diamant, hårdere end Flint gør jeg din Pande. Frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt!"
And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
10 Videre sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, alle mine Ord, som jeg taler til dig, skal du optage i dit Hjerte og høre med dine Ører;
And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your ears.
11 og gå så hen til dine landflygtige Landsmænd og tal til dem og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN! - hvad enten de så hører eller ej!"
And go your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; whether they will hear, [or] whether they will forbear.
12 Så løftede Ånden mig, og jeg hørte bag mig Larmen af et vældigt Jordskælv, da HERRENs Herlighed hævede sig fra sit Sted,
Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the Lord from his place.
13 og Suset af de levende Væseners Vinger, der rørte hverandre, og samtidig Lyden af Hjulene og Larmen af Jordskælvet.
And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
14 Og Ånden løftede mig og førte mig bort, og jeg vandrede bitter og gram i Hu, idet HERRENs Hånd var over mig med Vælde.
And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.
15 Så kom jeg til de landflygtige i Tel-Abib, de, som boede ved Floden Kebar, og der sad jeg syv Dage iblandt dem og stirrede hen for mig.
Then I passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
16 Syv Dage senere kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
And after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,
17 Menneskesøn! Jeg sætter dig til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them from me.
18 Når jeg siger til den gudløse: "Du skal visselig dø!" og du ikke advarer ham eller for at bevare hans Liv taler til ham om at omvende sig fra sin gudløse Vej, så skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.
When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Advarer du derimod den gudløse, og han ikke omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og sin Vej, så skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your soul.
20 Og når en retfærdig vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, og jeg lægger Anstød for ham, så han dør, og du ikke har advaret ham, så dør han for sin Synd, og den Retfærdighed, han har øvet, skal ikke tilregnes ham, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.
And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Har du derimod advaret den retfærdige mod at synde, og han ikke synder, så skal samme retfærdige leve, fordi han lod sig advare, og du har reddet din Sjæl.
But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own soul.
22 Siden kom HERRENs Hånd over mig der, og han sagde til mig: "Stå op og gå ud i dalen, der vil jeg tale med dig!"
And the hand of the Lord came upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.
23 Så stod jeg op og gik ud i Dalen, og se, der stod HERRENs Herlighed, som jeg havde set denved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt.
And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: and I fell on my face.
24 Men Ånden kom i mig og rejste mig på mine Fødder. Så taIede han til mig og sagde: Gå hjem og luk dig inde i dit Hus!
Then the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your house.
25 Og du, Menneskesøn, se, man skal lægge Bånd på dig og binde dig, så du ikke kan gå ud iblandt dem;
And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.
26 og din Tunge lader jeg hænge ved Ganen, så du bliver stum og ikke kan være dem en Revser; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking house.
27 Men når jeg taler til dig, vil jeg åbne din Mund, og du skal sige til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN! Så får den, der vil høre, høre, og den, der ikke vil, får lade være; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking house.
