Jezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom i det niende Aar paa den tiende Dag i den tiende Maaned til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, write for thyself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.
Menneskesøn, opskriv dig Navnet paa denne Dag, Dagen i Dag, thi netop i Dag har Babels Konge kastet sig over Jerusalem.
3 And speak a parable to the provoking house, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Set on the caldron, and 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 and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,
læg Kødstykker i, alle Haande gode Stykker, Kølle og Bov, fyld den med udsøgte Knogler;
5 [which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.
tag af Hjordens bedste Dyr og læg en Stabel Brænde under den; kog Stykkerne, saa ogsaa Knoglerne koges ud!
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord; O bloody city, the caldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by 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; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;
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 my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.
For at fremkalde Vrede, for at tage Hævn hældte jeg Blodet paa den nøgne Klippe uden at dække det.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen! Nu vil ogsaa jeg gøre brændestabelen stor;
10 and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;
hent brænde i Mængde, lad Ilden lue og Kødet blive mørt, hæld Suppen ud og lad Benene brændes
11 and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum 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 and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.
Møje har den kostet, men den megen Rust gik ikke af. I Ilden med Rusten!
13 Her scum shall become shameful, because thou didst defile thyself: and what if thou shalt be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?
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 the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge thee, saith the Lord, according to thy ways, and according to thy devices: therefore will I judge thee according to thy bloodshed, and according to thy devices will I judge thee, thou unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.
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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
16 Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thine eyes by violence: thou shalt not lament, neither shalt thou weep.
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 Thou shalt groan for blood, and have mourning upon thy loins; thy hair shall not be braided upon thee, and thy sandals [shall be] on thy feet; thou shalt in no wise be comforted by their lips, and thou shalt 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 And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.
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, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are that thou doest?
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 the Lord came to me, saying,
svarede jeg: »HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom ye have left, 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 be comforted at their mouth, and ye shall not 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 hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall ye at all lament or weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.
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 And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall ye do, when these things shall come; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
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 their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, 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 that escapes shall come to thee, to tell [it] thee in 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 that escapes; thou shalt speak, and shalt be no longer dumb: and thou shalt be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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.
