Ezekiel 14
1 And men among the elders of Israel came to me, and they sat down before me.
Nogle af Israels ældste kom til mig og satte sig lige over for mig.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Saa kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes;
3 “Son of man, these men have placed their uncleanness in their hearts, and they have stationed the scandal of their iniquities before their face. So why should I respond when they inquire of me?
Menneskesøn! Disse Mænd har lukket deres Afgudsbilleder ind i deres Hjerte og stillet det, der blev dem Aarsag til Skyld, for deres Ansigt — skulde jeg lade mig raadspørge af dem?
4 Because of this, speak to them, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: The man, the man of the house of Israel, who places his uncleanness in his heart, and who stations the scandal of his iniquities before his face, and who approaches a prophet, so as to inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him in accord with the multitude of his uncleannesses,
Tal derfor med dem og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Hver den af Israels Hus, som lukker sine Afgudsbilleder ind i sit Hjerte og sættet det, der blev dem Aarsag til Skyld, for sit Ansigt og saa kommer til Profeten, ham vil jeg, HERREN, selv svare trods hans mange Afgudsbilleder
5 so that the house of Israel may be seized within their own heart, by which they have withdrawn from me to all their idols.
for at gribe Israels Hus i Hjertet, fordi de faldt fra mig med alle deres Afgudsbilleder.
6 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Be converted, and withdraw from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.
Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Vend om, vend eder bort fra eders Afgudsbilleder og vend eders Ansigt bort fra alle eders Vederstyggeligheder!
7 For the man, the man of the house of Israel, and the new arrival among the converts who may be in Israel, if he is alienated from me, and he sets his idols in his heart, and he stations the scandal of his iniquity before his face, and he approaches the prophet, so that he may inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him through myself.
Thi hver den af Israels Hus og af de fremmede, der bor i Israel, som skiller sig fra mig og lukker sine Afgudsbilleder ind i sit Hjerte og sætter det, der blev ham Aarsag til Skyld, for sit Ansigt og saa kommer til Profeten, for at denne skal raadspørge mig for ham, ham vil jeg, HERREN, selv svare;
8 And I will set my face against that man, and I will make him an example and a proverb. And I will perish him from the midst of my people. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
jeg retter mit Aasyn mod den Mand og gør ham til Tegn og Mundheld og udrydder ham af mit Folk; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
9 And when a prophet has gone astray and has spoken a word: I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. And I will extend my hand over him, and I will wipe him away from the midst of my people, Israel.
Men lader Profeten sig lokke til at sige et Ord, saa er det mig, HERREN, der har lokket ham, og jeg udrækker min Haand imod ham og udrydder ham af mit Folk Israel.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity. In accord with the iniquity of the one who inquires, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
De skal begge bære deres Skyld, Spørgeren og Profeten skal være lige skyldige,
11 So may the house of Israel no longer go astray from me, nor be polluted by all their transgressions. Instead, may they be my people, and may I be their God, says the Lord of hosts.”
for at Israels Hus ikke mere skal fare vild fra mig og blive urent ved alle sine Overtrædelser; da skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
13 “Son of man, when a land will have sinned against me, so that it transgresses grievously, I will extend my hand over it, and I will crush the staff of its bread. And I will send a famine upon it, and I will destroy from it both man and beast.
Menneskesøn! Naar et Land troløst synder imod mig, og jeg udrækker min Haand imod det og bryder Brødets Støttestav for det og sender Hungersnød over det og udrydder Folk og Fæ,
14 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver their own souls by their justice, says the Lord of hosts.
og disse tre Mænd var i dets Midte: Noa, Daniel og Job, saa skulde kun de tre redde deres Liv ved deres Retfærdighed, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 And if I also lead in very harmful beasts upon the land, so that I devastate it, and it becomes impassable, so that no one may cross through it because of the beasts,
Eller lader jeg Rovdyr fare igennem Landet og gøre det folketomt, saa det bliver øde og ingen tør gaa derigennem for de vilde Dyr,
16 if these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters. But only they themselves will be delivered, for the land shall be desolated.
og disse tre Mænd var i dets Midte — saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: De skulde ikke redde deres Sønner eller Døtre; de selv alene skulde reddes, men Landet maatte blive øde.
17 Or if I lead in the sword upon that land, and if I say to the sword, ‘Pass through the land,’ and so I destroy from it both man and beast,
Eller lader jeg Sværdet komme over dette Land og siger: »Sværdet skal fare igennem Landet!« og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf,
18 and if these three men were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters, but only they themselves will be delivered.
og disse tre Mænd var i dets Midte — saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: De skulde ikke redde deres Sønner eller Døtre; de selv alene skulde reddes.
19 Then, if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and I pour out my indignation upon it with blood, so that I take away from it both man and beast,
Eller sender jeg Pest over dette Land og udgyder min Harme over det med Blod og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf,
20 and if Noah, and Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither son, nor daughter, but they will deliver only their own souls by their justice.
og Noa, Daniel og Job var i dets Midte — saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: De skulde ikke redde Søn eller Datter; de selv alene skulde redde deres Liv ved deres Retfærdighed.
21 For thus says the Lord God: Even though I will send upon Jerusalem my four most grievous judgments, sword and famine and harmful beasts and pestilence, so that I destroy from it both man and beast,
Men saa siger den Herre HERREN: Og dog, naar jeg sender mine fire grumme Straffedomme, Sværd, Hunger, Rovdyr og Pest, over Jerusalem for at udrydde Folk og Fæ deraf,
22 yet still there shall be left within it some who will be saved, who shall lead away their own sons and daughters. Behold, they will enter to you, and you will see their way and their accomplishments. And you shall be consoled concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, concerning all the things that I have brought to bear upon it.
se, da skal der levnes en Flok undslupne, som fører Sønner og Døtre ud derfra; se, de skal drage hid til eder, og I skal se deres Færd og Gerninger; da skal I trøste eder over den Ulykke, jeg har bragt over Jerusalem, alt det, jeg har bragt over det.
23 And they shall console you, when you see their ways and their accomplishments. And you shall know that I have not acted to no purpose in all that I have done within it, says the Lord God.”
De skal være eder en Trøst, naar I ser deres Færd og Gerninger, og I skal skønne, at jeg ikke uden Grund gjorde alt, hvad jeg lod det times, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
