Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children 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 And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
Saa aabnede jeg Munden, og han lod mig sluge Bogrullen
3 And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was 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 And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say 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 sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
Thi du sendes til Israels Folk, ikke til et Folk med dybt Maal og tungt Mæle,
6 Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear 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 children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
Men Israels Hus vil ikke høre dig, thi de vil ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har haarde Pander og stive Hjerter.
8 See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.
Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt haardt som deres Ansigter og din Pande haard som deres Pander;
9 Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
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 Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.
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 And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.
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 I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.
Saa løftede Aanden mig, og jeg hørte bag mig Larmen af et vældigt Jordskælv, da HERRENS Herlighed hævede sig fra sit Sted,
13 And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.
og Suset af de levende Væseners Vinger, der rørte hverandre, og samtidig Lyden af Hjulene og Larmen af Jordskælvet.
14 And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on 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 Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.
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 And 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 children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.
Menneskesøn! Jeg sætter dig til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
18 When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make 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 give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.
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 Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make 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 say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
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 the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk 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 Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
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 came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up 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 But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:
Og du, Menneskesøn, se, man skal lægge Baand paa dig og binde dig, saa du ikke kan gaa ud iblandt dem;
26 And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.
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 have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
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.
