Ezekiel 36

1 Men du menneskesøn, profeter om Israels bjerge og sig: Israels bjerge, hør Herrens ord.

“And you, son of man, prophesy to mountains of Israel, and you have said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH!

2 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: "Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!"

Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also become our possession,

3 derfor skal du profetere og sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi man har higet og snappet efter eder fra alle Sider, for at I skulde tilfalde Resten af Folkene som Ejendom, og fordi I er kommet i Folkemunde,

therefore, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from all around, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And you are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report to the people.

4 derfor, Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene, Højene, kløfterne og Dalene, til de øde Tomter og de forladte Byer, som er blevet til Rov og til Spot for Resten af Folkene rundt om,

Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to ruins that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the surrounding nations,

5 derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, i brændende Nidkærhed vil jeg tale mod Resten af Folkene og mod hele Edom, som med al Hjertets Glæde og Sjælens Ringeagt udså sig mit Land til Ejendom for at drive indbyggerne bort og gøre det til Rov.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom—all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart—with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?

6 Profeter derfor om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfteme og Dalene: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg faler i Nidkærhed og Harme, fordi I bærer Folkenes Hån.

Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And you have said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, Because you have borne the shame of nations.

7 Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg løfter min Hånd og sværger: Sandelig, Folkene rundt om eder skal selv bære deres Hån.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own shame?

8 Og I, Israels Bjerge, skal skyde Grene og bære Frugt for mit Folk Israel, thi de skal snart komme hjem.

And you, O mountains of Israel, You give out your branch, And you bear your fruits for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.

9 Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsås;

For behold, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and sown.

10 jeg gør Mennesker, alt Israels Hus, mangfoldige på eder, Byerne skal bebos og Ruinerne genopbygges;

And I have multiplied men on you, All the house of Israel—all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the ruins are built.

11 jeg gør Mennesker og Dyr mangfoldige på eder, ja de skal blive mangfoldige og frugtbare; jeg lader eder bebos som i fordums Tider og gør det bedre for eder end i Fortiden; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And I have multiplied man and beast on you, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

12 Jeg lader Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, færdes på eder; de skal tage dig i Eje, og du skal være deres Arvelod og ikke mere gøre dem barnløse.

And I have caused man to walk over you—My people Israel, And they possess you, and you have been their inheritance, And you no longer add to bereave them.

13 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: "Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!"

Thus said Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you, You [are] a devourer of men, And you have been a bereaver of your nations,

14 derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

Therefore, you no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

15 Og jeg lader dig ikke mere høre Folkenes Hån, og du skal ikke mere bære Folkeslagenes Spot eller gøre dit Folk harnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And I do not proclaim the shame of the nations to you anymore, And you no longer bear the reproach of peoples, And your nations do not stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

16 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

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

17 Menneskesøn! Da Israels Slægt boedei deres Land, gjorde de det urent ved deres Færd og Gerninger; som en Kvindes renhed var deres Færd for mit Åsyn.

“Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, Their way has been as the uncleanness of a separated one before Me.

18 Så udøste jeg min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, de udgød i Landet, og fordi de gjorde det urent med deres Afgudsbilleder.

And I pour out My fury on them For the blood that they shed on the land, And they have defiled it with their idols.

19 Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.

And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.

20 Således kom de til Folkene: hvor de kom hen, vanærede de mit hellige Navn, idet man sagde om dem: "De der er HERRENs Folk, og dog måtte de ud af hans Land!"

And one goes to the nations to where they have gone, And they defile My holy Name by saying to them, These [are] the people of YHWH, And they have gone forth from His land.

21 Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.

And I have pity on My holy Name, That the house of Israel has defiled Among the nations to where they have gone in.

22 Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Det er ikke for eders Skyld, jeg griber ind, Israels Hus, men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, som I har vanæret blandt de Folk, I kom til.

Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: I am not working for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy Name That you have defiled Among the nations to where you have gone in.

23 Jeg vil hellige mit store Navn, som vanæres blandt Folkene, idet I har vanæret det iblandt dem; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, når jeg helliger mig på eder for deres Øjne.

And I have sanctified My great Name, That is profaned among the nations, That you have defiled in your midst, And the nations have known that I [am] YHWH, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.

24 Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.

And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you into your land,

25 Da stænker jeg rent Vand på eder, så I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.

And I have sprinkled clean water over you, And you have been clean; I cleanse you from all your uncleannesses, And from all your idols.

26 Jeg giver eder et nyt Hjerte, og en ny Ånd giver jeg i eders Indre; Stenhjertet tager jeg ud af eders Kød og giver eder et Kødhjerte.

And I have given a new heart to you, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to you.

27 Jeg giver min Ånd i eders Indre og virker, at I følger mine Vedtægter og tager Vare på at holde mine Lovbud,

And I give My Spirit in your midst, And I have done this, so that you walk in My statutes, And you keep My judgments, and have done them.

28 I skal bo i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre, og I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.

And you have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.

29 Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenbed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.

And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called to the grain, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine on you.

30 Jeg mangfoldiggør Træernes Frugter og Markens Afgrøde, for at I ikke mere skal tage en Hungersnøds Skændsel på eder blandt Folkene.

And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that you do not receive a reproach of famine among nations anymore.

31 Da skal I ihukomme eders onde Veje og eders Gerninger, som ikke var gode, og ledes ved eder selv over eders Misgerninger og Vederstyggeligheder.

And you have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.

32 Ikke for eders Skyld griber jeg ind, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, det være eder kundgjort! Skam jer og blues over eders Veje, Israels Hus!

I am not working for your sake, A declaration of Lord YHWH, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of your ways, O house of Israel.

33 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Den Dag jeg renser eder for alle eders Misgerninger, lader jeg Byerne bebos, og Ruinerne skal genopbygges;

Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the ruins have been built,

34 det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.

And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing by,

35 Da skal man sige: "Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og Byerne, som var omstyrtet, ødelagt og nedrevet, er befæstet og beboet."

And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Has been as the Garden of Eden, And the cities—the dried up, And the desolated, and the broken down, [And the] fortified have remained.

36 Og Folkene, der er tilhage rundt om eder, skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har opbygget de nedrevne Byer og tilplantet det ødelagte Land; jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.

And the nations who are left around you have known That I, YHWH, have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it].

37 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Også dette vil jeg gøre for Israels Hus på deres Bøn: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige som en Hjord af Mennesker;

Thus said Lord YHWH: Yet this I am inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them: I multiply them as a flock of men,

38 som en Hjord af Offerdyr, som Jerusalems Fårehjorde på dets Højtider skal de omstyrtede Byer blive fulde af Menneskehjorde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed times, So the dried up cities are full of flocks of man, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
