Ezekiel 11
1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
Saa løftede Aanden mig og bragte mig til HERRENS Hus's Østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg saa iblandt dem Ja'azanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.
2 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
Og han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser paa Uret og lægger onde Raad op i denne By,
3 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
idet de siger: «Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!»
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
Profetér derfor imod dem, profetér, Menneskesøn!«
5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
Saa faldt HERRENS Aand paa mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Saa siger HERREN: Saaledes taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Aand.
6 You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: De, som I dræbte og henslængte i dens Midte, de er Kødet, og Byen er Gryden; men eder vil jeg føre ud af den.
8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
9 I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Haand, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.
10 You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
For Sværd skal I falde; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder. Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
11 The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
Byen skal ikke være eder en Gryde, og I skal ikke være Kødet deri; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder.
12 Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, hvis Vedtægter I ikke fulgte, og hvis Lovbud I ikke levede efter, hvorimod I levede efter eders Nabofolks Lovbud. —
13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
Men medens jeg profeterede saaledes, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt og raabte med høj Røst: »Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?«
14 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Saa kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
15 “Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
Menneskesøn! Dine Brødre, dine Medfanger og alt Israels Hus, alle de, om hvem Jerusalems Indbyggere siger: »De er langt borte fra HERREN, os er Landet givet i Eje!« —
16 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
derfor skal du sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Maade var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.
17 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
Men derfor skal du sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil samle eder sammen fra Folkeslagene og sanke eder op i Landene, hvor I er spredt, og give eder Israels Jord.
18 When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;
19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Aand; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,
20 so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
for at de maa følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Saa skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
21 But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
Men hines Hjerter holder sig til deres væmmelige Guder og deres Vederstyggeligheder; dem gengælder jeg deres Færd, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
Saa løftede Keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
23 And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.
Og HERRENS Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig paa Bjerget østen for.
24 And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
Derpaa løftede Aanden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Aand i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.
25 I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
Saa kundgjorde jeg de landflygtige alle de Ord, HERREN havde aabenbaret mig.
