< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
Menneskesøn, profeter mod Israels Hyrder, profeter og sig til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Israels Hyrder, som røgtede sig selv! Skal Hyrderne ikke røgte Hjorden?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.
I fortærede Mælken, med Ulden klædte I eder, de fede Dyr slagtede I, men Hjorden røgtede I ikke;
4 The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
de svage Dyr styrkede I ikke, de syge lægte I ikke, de sårede forbandt I ikke, de adsplittede bragte I ikke tilbage, de vildfarende opsøgte I ikke, men I styrede dem med Hårdhed og Grumhed.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Derfor spredtes de, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr; ja, de spredtes.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.
Min Hjord flakkede om på alle Bjerge og på hver en høj Banke, og over hele Jorden spredtes min Hjord, og ingen spurgte eller ledte efter dem.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
Derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENs Ord!
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,
Så sandtjeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Fordi min Hjord blev til Rov, fordi min Hjord blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og Hyrderne ikke spurgte efter min Hjord, og fordi Hyrderne røgtede sig selv og ikke min Hjord,
9 — therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENs Ord!
10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg, kommer over Hyrderne og kræver min Hjord af deres Hånd, og jeg sætter dem fra at vogte min Hjord; Hyrderne skal ikke mere kunne røgte sig selv; jeg redder min Hjord af deres Gab, så den ikke skal tjene dem til Æde.
11 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.
Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil selv spørge efter min Hjord og tage mig af den.
12 As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Som en Hyrde tager sig af sin Hjord på Stormvejrets Dag, således tager jeg mig af min Hjord og redder den fra de Steder, hvorhen de spredtes på Skyernes og Mulmets Dag;
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.
jeg fører dem bort fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra Landene og bringer dem til deres Land, og jeg, røgter dem på Israels Bjerge, i Kløfterne og på alle Landets beboede Steder.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
På gode Græsgange vil jeg vogte dem, og på Israels Bjerghøjder skal deres Græsmarker være; der skal de lejre sig på gode Græsmarker, og i fede Græsgange skal de græsse på Israels Bjerge.
15 I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Jeg vil selv røgte min Hjord og selv lade dem lejre sig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
16 I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.
De vildfarende Dyr vil jeg opsøge, de adsplittede vil jeg bringe tilbage, de sårede vil jeg forbinde de svage vil jeg styrke, og de fede og kraftige vil jeg vogte; jeg vil røgte dem, som det er ret.
17 And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.
Og I, min Hjord! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil skifte. Ret mellem Får og Får, mellem Vædre og Bukke.
18 Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?
Er det eder ikke nok at græsse på den bedste Græsgang, siden I nedtramper, hvad der er levnet af eders Græsgange? Er det eder ikke nok at drikke det klare Vand, siden I med eders Fødder plumrer, hvad der er levnet?
19 And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Min Hjord må græsse, hvad I har nedtrampet, og drikke, hvad I har plumret med eders Fødder!
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer for at skifte Ret mellem de fede og de magre Får.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
Fordi I med Side og Skulder skubbede alle de svage Dyr bort og stangede dem med eders Horn, til I fik dem drevet ud,
22 — I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
derfor vil jeg hjælpe min Hjord, så den ikke mere skal blive til Rov, og skifte Ret mellem Får og Får.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Jeg sætter een Hyrde over dem, min Tjener David, og han skal vogte dem; han skal vogte dem, og han skal være deres Hyrde.
24 And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
Og jeg, HERREN, vil være deres Gud, og min Tjener David skal være Fyrste iblandt dem, så sandt jeg, HERREN, har talet.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Jeg vil slutte en Fredspagt med dem og udrydde de vilde Dyr at Landet, så de trygt kan bo i Ørkenen og sove i Skovene.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.
Og jeg gør dem og Landet rundt om min Høj til Velsignelse, og jeg sender Regn i rette Tid, mine Byger skal blive til Velsignelse.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.
Markens Træer skal give deres Frugt og Landet sin Afgrøde; trygt skal de bo på deres Jord, og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg bryder Stængerne på deres Åg og frelser dem af deres Hånd, som gjorde dem til Trælle.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.
Ikke mere skal de blive til Rov for Folkene, og Landets vilde Dyr skal ikke æde dem; trygt skal de bo, uden at nogen skræmmer dem.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more.
Jeg lader en Fredens Plantning vokse op for dem, og ingen skal rives bort af Hunger i Landet, og de skal ikke mere bære Folkenes Hån.
30 And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
De skal kende, at jeg, HERREN deres Gud, er med dem, og at de er mit Folk, Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN
31 And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
I er min Hjord, I er den Hjord, jeg røgter, og jeg er eders Gud, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
