Ezekiel 7

1 Og HERRENs Ord kom til mig således

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

2 Du, Menneskesøn, sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Israels Land: Enden kommer, Enden kommer over Landet vidt og bredt!

Thou therefore O son of man. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, To the so of Israel, there is an end, - The end hath come upon the four skirts of the land.

3 Nu kommer Enden over dig, og jeg sender min Vrede imod dig og dømmer dig efter dine Veje og gengælder dig alle dine Vederstyggeigheder.

Now is the end upon thee, Therefore will I send mine anger against thee, And judge thee according to thy ways, - And lay upon thee all thine abominations;

4 Jeg viser dig ingen Medynk eller Skånsel, men gengælder dig dine Veje, og dine Vederstyggeligheder skal blive i din Midte; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And mine eye shall not shield thee. Neither will I pity, —. For thy ways—upon thee, will I lay. And thine abominations in thy midst, shall be found, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

5 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ulykke følger på Ulykke; se, det kommer!

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh: A calamity, a sole calamity, lo! it hath come.

6 Enden kommer, Enden kommer; den er vågnet og tager Sigte på dig; se, det kommer!

An end hath come, Come hath the end It hath roused itself up against thee, — Lo! it hath come.

7 Turen kommer til dig, som bor i Landet; Tiden er inde, Dagen er nær, en Dag med Rædsel og ikke med Frydeskrig på Bjergene.

The circle hath come round unto thee. O inhabitant of the land, - The time, hath come, The day of consternation, hath drawn near. And not the joyful shout of the mountains.

8 Nu udøser jeg snart min Harme over dig og udtømmer min Vrede på dig, dømmer dig efter dine Veje og gengælder dig alle dine Vederstyggeligheder.

Now shortly, will I pour out mine indignation upon thee, And will bring to an end mine anger against thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, - And will lay upon thee all thine abominations.

9 Jeg viser dig ingen Medynk eller Skånsel, men gengælder dig dine Veje, og dine Vederstyggeligheder skal blive i din Midte; og I skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, er den, som slår.

And mine eye shall not shield thee Neither will I have pity, — According to thy ways, unto thee will I render, And thine abominations, in thy midst shall be found, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh am smiting.

10 Se, Dagen! Se, det kommer; Turen kommer til dig"! Riset blomstrer, Overmodet grønnes.

Lo! the day, Lo! it hath come, The circle, hath gone forth, The sceptre, hath blossomed, Insolence hath sprouted:

11 Vold rejser sig til et Ris over Gudløshed; der bliver intet tilbage af dem, intet af deres larmende Hob, intet af deres Gods, og der er ingen Herlighed iblandt dem.

Violence hath risen up as a sceptre of lawlessness, —There are none of them And none of their multitude And none of their throngs And no lamentation over them.

12 Tiden er inde, Dagen er nær; Køberen skal ikke glæde sig og Sælgeren ikke sørge, thi Vrede kommer over al den larmende Hob derinde.

The time hath come. The day hath arrived, The buyer, let him not rejoice, and The seller, let him not mourn, — For indignation, is against all her multitude.

13 Thi Sælgeren skal ikke vende tilbage til det solgte, om han end bliver i Live; thi Synet om al den larmende Hob derinde tages ikke tilbage, og ingen skal styrke sit Liv ved sin Misgerning.

For the seller, unto that which is to be sold, shall not return, though yet among the living, were their life, for the vision is against all her multitude. He shall not return, And, no man, by his punishment, shall strengthen, his life.

14 Man støder i Hornet og gør alt rede, men ingen drager i krig; thi min Vrede kommer over al den larmende Hob derinde.

They have blown the trumpet, even to make All ready, Yet is there none going to the battle; For mine indignation is against all her multitude.

15 Sværd ude og Pest og Hunger inde! De, der er i Marken, omkommer for Sværd, og dem, der er i Byen, fortærer Hunger og Pest.

The sword without, and Pestilence and famine within, — He that is in the field by the sword, shall die, and He that is in the city famine or pestilence shall devour him;

16 Og selv om nogle af dem undslipper og når op i Bjergene som Kløfternes Duer, skal de alle dø, hver for sin Misgerning.

While they who escape of them shall escape and become on the mountains as the doves of the valleys, all of them cooing, —each one in his punishment.

17 Alle Hænder er slappe, alle Knæ flyder som Vand.

All hands shall be unnerved; and All knees shall be weak as water,

18 De klæder sig i Sæk, og Rædsel omhyller dem; alle Ansigter er skamfulde, alle Hoveder skaldede.

Therefore shall they gird themselves with sackcloth, And shuddering shall cover them, -And in all faces, shall be paleness, And in all their heads, baldness.

19 Deres Sølv kaster de ud på Gaden, deres Guld regnes for Snavs; deres Sølv og Guld kan ikke redde dem på HERRENs Vredes Dag; de kan ikke stille deres Hunger eller fylde deres Bug dermed, thi det var dem Årsag til Skyld.

Their silver into the streets, shall they cast and Their gold for throwing away, shall serve, Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh, Their craving, shall they not satisfy, and Their belly, shall they not fill, For a stumbling-block, hath their iniquity become.

20 I dets strålende Pragt satte de deres Stolthed, og deres vederstyggelige Billeder, deres væmmelige Guder, lavede de deraf: derfor gør jeg det til Snavs for dem.

When, the beauty of his own ornament, he had, in majesty, placed, Then, the images, of their abominations Their detestable things, Made they therein, — For this cause have I delivered it up to them for removal;

21 Jeg giver det som Bytte i de fremmedes Hånd og som Rov til de mest gudløse på Jorden, og de skal vanhellige det.

Yea I will deliver it Into the hand of foreigners for a prey, And to the lawless ones of the earth for a spoil, And they will profane it;

22 Jeg vender mit Åsyn fra dem og man skal vanhellige mit Kleodie, Ransmænd skal trænge ind og vanhellige det.

And I will turn away my face from them, And they will profane my cherished place, —Yea there will enter it violent men Who will profane it.

23 Gør Lænkerne rede! Thi Landet er fuldt af Blodskyld og Byen af Vold.

Prepare thou a chain, — For, the land, is full of the crime of bloodshed, And, the city, is full of violence.

24 Jeg henter de værste af Folkene, og de skal tage Husene i Eje; jeg gør Ende på de mægtiges Stolthed, og deres Helligdomme skal vanhelliges.

So then I will bring in the wicked ones of the nations, And they shall take possession of their houses, —And I will cause to cease the pomp of the strong ones, And their holy places shall be profaned.

25 Der opstår Angst; man søger Redning, men finder den ikke.

Destruction, hath entered, - And they shall seek welfare and there be none.

26 Uheld følger på Uheld, Rygte på Rygte; man skal tigge Profeten om et Syn, Præsten kommer til kort med Vejledning og de Ældste med Råd.

Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And report after report shall arise, Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And law shall perish from priest. And counsel from elders.

27 Kongen sørger, Fyrsten hyller sig i Rædsel, og Landboernes Hænder lammes af Forfærdelse. Jeg gør med dem efter deres Færd og dømmer dem, som de fortjener; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

The king, shall mourn and, The chief, shall clothe himself with astonishment, and, the hands of the people of the land, shall be wrung in anguish, — After their own way, will I deal with them and, With their own sentences, will I sentence them, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
