Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom i det niende Aar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this selfsame day; the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this selfsame day.
Menneskesøn, opskriv dig Navnet paa denne Dag, Dagen i Dag, thi netop i Dag har Babels Konge kastet sig over Jerusalem.
3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Set on the caldron. Set it on, and also pour water into it.
Og tal i Lignelse til den genstridige Slægt og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Sæt Kedelen over, sæt den over; kom ogsaa Vand deri;
4 Gather the pieces of it into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
læg Kødstykker i, alle Haande gode Stykker, Kølle og Bov, fyld den med udsøgte Knogler;
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron. Make it boil well, yea, let the bones of it be boiled in the midst of it.
tag af Hjordens bedste Dyr og læg en Stabel Brænde under den; kog Stykkerne, saa ogsaa Knoglerne koges ud!
6 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece. No lot has fallen upon it.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen, den rustne Kedel, hvis Rust ikke er gaaet af. Stykke efter Stykke giver den fra sig; der kastes ikke Lod om dem;
7 For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon the bare rock. She did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust.
thi Blodet er endnu midt i Byen; den hældte det paa den nøgne Klippe og udgød det ikke paa Jorden for at dække det med Muld.
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
For at fremkalde Vrede, for at tage Hævn hældte jeg Blodet paa den nøgne Klippe uden at dække det.
9 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen! Nu vil ogsaa jeg gøre brændestabelen stor;
10 Heap on the wood; make the fire hot. Boil the flesh well, and make the broth thick. And let the bones be burned.
hent brænde i Mængde, lad Ilden lue og Kødet blive mørt, hæld Suppen ud og lad Benene brændes
11 Then set it empty upon the coals of it, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
og sæt Kedelen tom paa de glødende Kul, for at den kan blive saa hed, at Kobberet gløder og Urenheden smelter; Rusten skal svinde!
12 She has wearied herself with toil, yet her great scum does not go forth out of her, her scum by fire.
Møje har den kostet, men den megen Rust gik ikke af. I Ilden med Rusten!
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed thee and thou were not cleansed, thou shall not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest.
Fordi du er uren af Utugt, fordi du ikke kom af med din Urenhed, skønt jeg rensede dig, skal du ikke blive ren igen, før jeg har kølet min Harme paa dig.
14 I, Jehovah, have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will neither spare, nor will I relent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, they shall judge thee, says the lord Jehovah.
Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og det kommer! Jeg griber ind og opgiver det ikke, jeg skaaner ikke og angre ej heller; efter dine Veje og dine Gerninger vil jeg dømme dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
16 Son of man, behold, I take the desire of thine eyes away from thee with a stroke. Yet thou shall neither mourn nor weep. Neither shall thy tears run down.
Menneskesøn! Se, jeg tager dine Øjnes Lyst fra dig ved en brat Død; men du skal ikke klage eller græde; du skal ikke fælde Taarer;
17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind thy headdress upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet. And do not cover thy lips, and do not eat the bread of men.
suk i Stilhed og hold ikke Døde klage, bind Huen paa og tag Sko paa Fødderne, tilhyl ikke dit Skæg og spis ikke Sørgebrød!
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Tal saa om Morgenen til Folket! — Saa døde min Hustru om Aftenen, og næste Morgen gjorde jeg, som mig var paalagt.
19 And the people said to me, Will thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou do so?
Og da Folket sagde til mig: »Vil du ikke lade os vide, hvad det, du der gør, skal sige os?«
20 Then I said to them, The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
svarede jeg: »HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul has compassion. And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Sig til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil vanhellige min Helligdom, eders Hovmods Stolthed, eders Øjnes Lyst, eders Sjæles Længsel; og de Sønner og Døtre, I lod tilbage, skal falde for Sværdet!
22 And ye shall do as I have done. Ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Og I skal gøre, som jeg nu gør: I skal ikke tilhylle eders Skæg eller spise Sørgebrød;
23 And your coverings shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet. Ye shall not mourn nor weep, but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
eders Huer skal blive paa Hovederne og eders Sko paa Fødderne; I skal ikke klage eller græde, men svinde hen i eders Synder og sukke for hverandre.
24 Thus Ezekiel shall be to you a sign, according to all that he has done ye shall do. When this comes, then ye shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.
Ezekiel skal være eder et Tegn; naar det sker, skal I gøre, som han gør; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN, «
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that upon which they set their heart-their sons and their daughters-
Og du, Menneskesøn! Paa den Dag jeg tager deres Værn, deres herlige Fryd, deres Øjnes Lyst og deres Sjæles Længsel, deres Sønner og Døtre fra dem,
26 that in that day he who escapes shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
paa den Dag skal en Flygtning komme til dig og melde det for dine Ører;
27 In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him who is escaped, and thou shall speak, and no more be mute. So thou shall be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
paa den Dag skal din Mund aabnes, naar Flygtningen kommer, og du skal tale og ikke mere være stum; du skal være dem et Tegn; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
