Ezekiel 33
1 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Menneskesøn, tal til dine Landsmænd og sig: Når jeg fører Sværdet over et Land, og Folket i Landet tager en af sin Midte og gør ham til deres Vægter,
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man out of their whole number, and set him for their watchman,
3 og han ser Sværdet komme over Landet og støder i Hornet og advarer Folket,
and he seeth the sword coming on the land, and bloweth the trumpet, and warneth the people,
4 men den, der hører Hornets Klang, ikke lader sig advare, og Sværdet kommer og river ham bort, da kommer hans Blod over hans Hoved.
then whoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, and the sword cometh and taketh him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Han hørte Hornets klang uden at lade sig advare, hans Blod kommer over hans Hoved; men den, som har advaret, har reddet sin Sjæl.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning. His blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall save his life.
6 Men når Vægteren ser Sværdet komme og ikke støder i Hornet, så at Folket ikke advares, og Sværdet kommer og over en af dem bort, så rives han vel bort for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af Vægterens Hånd.
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword come and take away any person from among them, he is taken away for his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 Men dig, Menneskesøn, har jeg sat til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel, that thou shouldst hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 Når jeg siger til den gudløse: "Du skal visselig dø!" og du ikke taler for at advare ham mod hans Vej, så skal den gudløse vel dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.
When I say to the wicked, “O wicked man, thou shalt surely die!” and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.
9 Advarer du derimod den gudløse mod hans Vej, for at han skal omvende sig fra den, og han ikke omvender sig, så skal han dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
Yet if thou warn the wicked of his way, to turn from it, and he turneth not from his way, he shall die for his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thyself.
10 Og du, Menneskesøn, sig til Israels Hus: I siger: "Vore Overtrædelser og Synder tynger os, og vi svinder hen i dem, hvor kan vi da leve?"
Thou, therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Rightly do ye say, “Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them we pine away. How then can we live?”
11 Sig til dem: Så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg har ikke Lyst til den gudløses Død, men til at han omvender sig fra sin Vej, at han må leve! Vend om, vend om fra eders onde Veje Hvorfor vil I dø, Israels Hus?
Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways! for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 Men du, Menneskesøn, sig til dine Landsmænd: Den retfærdiges Retfærdighed skal ikke redde ham, den Dag han synder, og den gudløses Gudløshed skal ikke fælde ham, den Dag han omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed, og en retfærdig skal ikke blive i Live ved sin Retfærdighed, den Dag han gør Synd.
Thou also, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and through his wickedness shall not the wicked man fall in the day when he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live in the day when he sinneth.
13 Når jeg siger til den retfærdige: "Du skal visselig leve!" og han stoler på sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, så skal intet af hans Retfærdighed tilregnes ham, men han skal dø for den Uret, han øver.
When I say concerning the righteous, “He shall surely live,” and he trusteth in his righteousness, and doeth iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered, but for his iniquity which he hath committed shall he die.
14 Og når jeg siger til den gudløse: "Du skal visselig dø!" og han omvender sig fra sin Synd og gør Ret og Skel,
Again, when I say concerning the wicked, “He shall surely die,” and he turneth from his sin, and doeth that which is just and right,
15 idet han giver Pant tilbage, godtgør, hvad han har ranet, og følger Livets Bud uden at øve Uret, så skal han leve og ikke dø;
and the wicked restoreth the pledge, giveth back that which he hath taken by violence, and walketh in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 ingen af de Synder, han har gjort, skal tilregnes ham; han har gjort Ret og Skel, visselig skal han leve.
None of his sins which he hath committed shall be mentioned to him; he hath done that which is just and right; he shall surely live.
17 Og så siger dine Landsmænd: "Herrens Vej er ikke ret!" Men det er deres Vej, som ikke er ret.
And yet the sons of thy people say, “The way of the Lord is not right!” But it is their way which is not right.
18 Når den retfærdige vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, skal han dø;
When the righteous man turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he dieth because of it.
19 og når den gudløse omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og gør Ret og Skel, skal han leve!
And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth that which is just and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Og dog siger I: "Herrens Vej er ikke ret!" Jeg vil dømme eder hver især efter eders Veje, Israels Hus.
And yet ye say, “The way of the Lord is not right!” O house of Israel, I will judge you every one according to his ways!
21 I vor Landflygtigheds ellevte År på den femte Dag i den tiende Måned kom en Flygtning fra Jerusalem til mig med det Bud: "Byen er indtaget!"
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city is smitten!”
22 Men HERRENs Hånd var kommet over mig, om Aftenen før Flygtningen kom, og han åbnede min Mund, før han kom til mig om Morgenen; så åbnedes min Mund, og jeg var ikke mere stum.
Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening before he that had escaped came; and he opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; he opened my mouth, so that I was no longer dumb.
23 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
24 Menneskesøn! De, der bor i Ruinerne i Israels Land, siger: "Abraham var kun een og fik dog Landet i eje; vi er mange, og os er Landet givet i Eje!"
Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes in the land of Israel say, “Abraham was but one, and he inherited the land; but we are many; to us is the land given for an inheritance.”
25 Sig derfor til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: I spiser Kød med Blod i, løfter eders Blik til eders Afgudsbilleder og udgyder Blod, og så vil I have Landet i Eje!
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and life up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land?
26 I støtter eder til eders Sværd, I øver Vederstyggelighed, I gør hverandres Hustruer urene, og så vil I have Landet i Eje!
Ye trust to your swords, ye commit abomination, and ye defile, every one, his neighbor's wife; and shall ye possess the land?
27 Således skal du sige til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Så sandt jeg lever: De i Ruinerne skal falde for Sværdet; dem i åbent Land giver jeg de vilde Dyr til Æde, og, de i Klippeborgene og Hulerne skal dø af Pest.
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open country will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the forts and caves shall fall by the pestilence.
28 Jeg, gør Landet til Ørk og Ødemark, dets stolte Herlighed får Ende, og Israels Bjerge skal ligge øde, så ingen færdes der;
And I will make the land an utter desolation; and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
29 og de, skal kende, at Jeg er HERREN, når jeg gør Landet til Ørk og Ødemark for alle de Vederstyggeligheder, de har øvet.
Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land an utter desolation, on account of all the abominations which they practise.
30 Og du, Menneskesøn, se, dine Landsmænd taler om dig langs Murene og i Husdørene, den ene til den anden, hver til sin Broder, og siger: "Kom og hør, hvad det er for et ord, der udgår fra HERREN!"
As for thee, O son of man, the sons of thy people speak concerning thee by the walls, and in the doors of houses; and speak one to another, every man to his neighbor, saying, “Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that goeth forth from Jehovah.”
31 Og de kommer til dig, som var der Opløb, og sætter sig lige over for dig for at høre dine Ord. Men de gør ikke derefter; thi der er Løgn i deres Mund, og deres Hjerte higer efter Vinding.
And they come to thee, as the people assembleth, and they sit before thee, as my people, and they hear thy words: but will not do them; for with their mouth they do what is lovely, but their heart goeth after gain.
32 Og se, du er dem som en, der synger en Elskovssang med liflig Røst og er dygtig til at spille; de hører dine Ord, men gør ikke derefter.
And behold, thou art to them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear thy words, but do them not.
33 Men når det kommer - og se, det kommer - skal de kende, at en Profet har været iblandt dem.
But when this cometh to pass, (and behold, it shall come to pass, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
