< Ezekiel 11 >
1 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.
Saa løftede Aanden mig og bragte mig til HERRENS Hus's Østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg saa iblandt dem Ja'azanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.
2 And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,
Og han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser paa Uret og lægger onde Raad op i denne By,
3 Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.
idet de siger: «Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!»
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man.
Profetér derfor imod dem, profetér, Menneskesøn!«
5 And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.
Saa faldt HERRENS Aand paa mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Saa siger HERREN: Saaledes taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Aand.
6 You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: De, som I dræbte og henslængte i dens Midte, de er Kødet, og Byen er Gryden; men eder vil jeg føre ud af den.
8 You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God.
I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
9 And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you.
Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Haand, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.
10 You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
For Sværd skal I falde; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder. Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
11 This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel.
Byen skal ikke være eder en Gryde, og I skal ikke være Kødet deri; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder.
12 And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my commandments, and have not done my judgments, but you have done according to the judgments of the nations that; are round about you.
Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, hvis Vedtægter I ikke fulgte, og hvis Lovbud I ikke levede efter, hvorimod I levede efter eders Nabofolks Lovbud. —
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God: wilt thou make an end of all the remnant of Israel?
Men medens jeg profeterede saaledes, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt og raabte med høj Røst: »Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?«
14 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Saa kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
15 Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, thy kinsmen, and all the house of Israel, all they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get ye far from the Lord, the land is given in possession to us.
Menneskesøn! Dine Brødre, dine Medfanger og alt Israels Hus, alle de, om hvem Jerusalems Indbyggere siger: »De er langt borte fra HERREN, os er Landet givet i Eje!« —
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because I have removed them far off among the Gentiles, and because I have scattered them among the countries: I will be to them a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
derfor skal du sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Maade var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.
17 Therefore speak to them: Thus saith the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Men derfor skal du sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil samle eder sammen fra Folkeslagene og sanke eder op i Landene, hvor I er spredt, og give eder Israels Jord.
18 And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the scandals, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;
19 And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:
jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Aand; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,
20 That they may walk in my commandments, and keep my judgments, and do them: and that they may be my people, and I may be their God.
for at de maa følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Saa skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
21 But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God.
Men hines Hjerter holder sig til deres væmmelige Guder og deres Vederstyggeligheder; dem gengælder jeg deres Færd, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
22 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
Saa løftede Keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood over the mount that is on the east side of the city.
Og HERRENS Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig paa Bjerget østen for.
24 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God: and the vision which I had seen was taken up from me.
Derpaa løftede Aanden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Aand i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.
25 And I spoke to them of the captivity all the words of the Lord, which he had shewn me.
Saa kundgjorde jeg de landflygtige alle de Ord, HERREN havde aabenbaret mig.
