Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
Du Menneskesøn! spaa imod Israels Hyrder, spaa, og sig til dem, til Hyrderne: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ve Israels Hyrder, som ere deres egne Vogtere! skulle ikke Hyrderne være Faarenes Vogtere?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool. Ye kill the fatlings, but ye do not feed the sheep.
I æde Fedmen og klæde eder med Ulden, I slagte det fede, men Faarene vogte I ikke.
4 Ye have not strengthened the diseased, nor have ye healed that which was sick, nor have ye bound up that which was broken, nor have ye brought back that which was driven away, nor have ye sought that which was lost, but ye have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
Det svage styrkede I ikke, og det syge lægede I ikke, og det, som havde lidt Brud, forbandt I ikke, og det fordrevne førte I ikke tilbage, og det, som var tabt, ledte I ikke efter; men med Haardhed og med Grumhed herskede I over dem.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Og de bleve adspredte, fordi de havde ingen Hyrde, og de ere blevne til Føde for alle vilde Dyr paa Marken; saa bleve de adspredte.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill. Yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none who searched or sought.
Mine Faar fare vild paa alle Bjergene og paa alle fremragende Høje, ja, mine Faar ere adspredte over det ganske Land, og der er ingen, som spørger, og ingen, som leder efter dem.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
Derfor, I Hyrder, hører Herrens Ord!
8 As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely inasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep,
Saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: Fordi mine Faar ere blevne til Rov, og mine Faar ere blevne til Føde for alle vilde Dyr paa Marken, eftersom de ingen Hyrde havde, og mine Hyrder ikke søgte mine Faar; men Hyrderne bleve deres egne Vogtere og vogtede ikke mine Faar:
9 therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
Derfor, I Hyrder, hører Herrens Ord!
10 Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more, and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod Hyrderne og kræver mine Faar af deres Haand og lader dem blive fri for at vogte Faarene, saa Hyrderne ikke mere skulle være deres egne Vogtere; og jeg vil redde mine Faar af deres Mund, og de skulle ikke være dem til Føde.
11 For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, da vil jeg, jeg spørge efter mine Faar og se efter dem.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Som en Hyrde ser efter sin Hjord paa den Dag, han er midt iblandt sine Faar, som ere adspredte, saaledes vil jeg se efter mine Faar og føre dem frelste hjem fra alle de Steder, hvorhen de vare adspredte paa Sky og Mørkhedsdag.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Og jeg vil føre dem ud fra Folkene og samle dem fra Landene og føre dem ind i deres Land; og jeg vil vogte dem paa Israels Bjerge, i Dalene, og hvor de bo i Landet.
14 I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold shall be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Paa en god Græsgang vil jeg lade dem græsse, og deres Overdrev skal være paa Israels høje Bjerge; der skulle de ligge paa et godt Overdrev, og paa en fed Græsgang skulle de græsse over Israels Bjerge.
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah.
Jeg vil selv vogte mine Faar og selv lade dem hvile, siger den Herre, Herre.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.
Efter det, som er tabt, vil jeg lede, og det fordrevne vil jeg føre tilbage, og det, som har lidt Brud, vil jeg forbinde, og det syge vil jeg styrke, men det fede og det stærke vil jeg ødelægge, jeg vil vogte det med Retfærdighed.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats.
Og I, mine Faar! saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg dømmer imellem Lam og Lam, imellem fædrene og Bukkene.
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture, and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Mon det er eder for lidet, at I afgræsse den gode Græsgang, saa at I skulle træde det, som bliver tilovers af eders Græsgang, ned med eders Fødder? eller at I drikke det klarede Vand, saa at I skulle plumre det, som bliver tilovers, med eders Fødder?
19 And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Og mine Faar — skylle de græsse paa det, som er nedtraadt med eders Fødder? eller drikke det, som er plumret med eders Fødder?
20 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre til dem: Se, jeg, jeg vil dømme imellem det fede Lam og imellem det magre Lam.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
Fordi I med Side og Bov støde og med eders Horn stange alle de svage, indtil I have faaet dem adspredte og jagede udenfor,
22 therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.
derfor vil jeg frelse mine Faar, og de skulle ikke ydermere være til Rov, og jeg, vil dømme imellem Lam og Lam.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Og jeg vil lade een Hyrde staa frem for dem, og han skal vogte dem, nemlig min Tjener David; han, han skal vogte dem, og han skal være dem en Hyrde.
24 And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
Og jeg Herren, jeg vil være deres Gud, og min Tjener David skal være en Fyrste midt iblandt dem; jeg Herren, jeg har talt det.
25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Og jeg vil slutte med dem en Fredens Pagt og lade onde Dyr forsvinde af Landet, saa at de kunne bo tryggelig i Ørken og sove i Skovene.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Og jeg vil gøre dem og de Steder, som ere trindt omkring min Høj, til en Velsignelse; og jeg vil lade Regnen falde i rette Tid, det skal være Velsignelses Regnstrømme.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them.
Og Træet paa Marken skal give sin Frugt, og Jorden skal give sin Grøde, og de skulle være trygge i deres Land, og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg bryder deres Rykkende Aag og redder dem af deres Haand, som brugte dem til Trælle.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them, but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
Og de skulle ikke ydermere være et Rov for Hedningerne, og intet vildt Dyr paa Jorden skal opæde dem; men de skulle bo tryggelig, og der skal ingen forfærde dem.
29 And I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall no more be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.
Og jeg vil fremkalde en Plantning for dem til Navnkundighed, og de skulle ikke ydermere bortrives af Hunger i Landet og ej mere bære Hedningernes Forhaanelse.
30 And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the lord Jehovah.
Og de skulle fornemme, at jeg Herren, deres Gud, er med dem, og at de ere mit Folk, Israels Hus, siger den Herre, Herre.
31 And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the lord Jehovah.
Og I, mine Faar, min Græsgangs Faar, I ere Mennesker; jeg er eders Gud, siger den Herre, Herre.
