Ezekiel 3
1 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
Saa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn, slug hvad du her har for dig, slug denne Bogrulle og gaa saa hen og tal til Israels Hus!«
2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
Saa aabnede jeg Munden, og han lod mig sluge Bogrullen
3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
og sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn! Lad din Bug fortære den Bogrulle, jeg her giver dig, og fyld dine Indvolde dermed!« Og jeg slugte den, og den var sød som Honning i min Mund.
4 Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
Saa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn, gaa til Israels Hus og tal mine Ord til dem!
5 For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
Thi du sendes til Israels Folk, ikke til et Folk med dybt Maal og tungt Mæle,
6 not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
ikke til mange Haande Folkeslag med dybt Maal og tungt Mæle, hvis Tale du ikke fatter, hvis jeg sendte dig til dem, vilde de høre dig.
7 But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
Men Israels Hus vil ikke høre dig, thi de vil ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har haarde Pander og stive Hjerter.
8 Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt haardt som deres Ansigter og din Pande haard som deres Pander;
9 I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”
som Diamant, haardere end Flint gør jeg din Pande. Frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt!«
10 “Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
Videre sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn, alle mine Ord, som jeg taler til dig, skal du optage i dit Hjerte og høre med dine Ører;
11 Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
og gaa saa hen til dine landflygtige Landsmænd og tal til dem og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN! — hvad enten de saa hører eller ej!«
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’
Saa løftede Aanden mig, og jeg hørte bag mig Larmen af et vældigt Jordskælv, da HERRENS Herlighed hævede sig fra sit Sted,
13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.
og Suset af de levende Væseners Vinger, der rørte hverandre, og samtidig Lyden af Hjulene og Larmen af Jordskælvet.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.
Og Aanden løftede mig og førte mig bort, og jeg vandrede bitter og gram i Hu, idet HERRENS Haand var over mig med Vælde.
15 I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.
Saa kom jeg til de landflygtige i Tel-Abib, de, som boede ved Floden Kebar, og der sad jeg syv Dage iblandt dem og stirrede hen for mig.
16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Syv Dage senere kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.
Menneskesøn! Jeg sætter dig til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
18 If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
Naar jeg siger til den gudløse: »Du skal visselig dø!« og du ikke advarer ham eller for at bevare hans Liv taler til ham om at omvende sig fra sin gudløse Vej, saa skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
19 But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.
Advarer du derimod den gudløse, og han ikke omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og sin Vej, saa skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
20 Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
Og naar en retfærdig vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, og jeg lægger Anstød for ham, saa han dør, og du ikke har advaret ham, saa dør han for sin Synd, og den Retfærdighed, han har øvet, skal ikke tilregnes ham, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
21 But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
Har du derimod advaret den retfærdige mod at synde, og han ikke synder, saa skal samme retfærdige leve, fordi han lod sig advare, og du har reddet din Sjæl.
22 And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
Siden kom HERRENS Haand over mig der, og han sagde til mig: »Staa op og gaa ud i Dalen, der vil jeg tale med dig!«
23 So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.
Saa stod jeg op og gik ud i Dalen, og se, der stod HERRENS Herlighed, som jeg havde set den ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt.
24 Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
Men Aanden kom i mig og rejste mig paa mine Fødder. Saa talede han til mig og sagde: Gaa hjem og luk dig inde i dit Hus!
25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
Og du, Menneskesøn, se, man skal lægge Baand paa dig og binde dig, saa du ikke kan gaa ud iblandt dem;
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.
og din Tunge lader jeg hænge ved Ganen, saa du bliver stum og ikke kan være dem en Revser; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
Men naar jeg taler til dig, vil jeg aabne din Mund, og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN! Saa faar den, der vil høre, høre, og den, der ikke vil, faar lade være; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
