Ezekiel 14
1 And some of the ancients of Israel came to me, and sat 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:
Så kom HERRENs Ord til mig således;
3 Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me?
Menneskesøn! Disse Mænd har lukket deres Afgudsbilleder ind i deres Hjerte og stillet det, der blev dem Årsag til Skyld, for deres Ansigt - skulde jeg lade mig rådspørge af dem?
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:
Tal derfor med dem og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Hver den af Israels Hus, som lukker sine Afgudsbilleder ind i sit Hjerte og sættet det, der blev dem Årsag til Skyld, for sit Ansigt og så kommer til Profeten, ham vil jeg, HERREN, selv svare trods hans mange Afgudsbilleder
5 That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols.
for at gribe Israels Hus i Hjertet, fordi de faldt fra mig med alle deres Afgudsbilleder.
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Be converted, and depart from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Vend om, vend eder bort fra eders Afgudsbilleder og vend eders Ansigt bort fra alle eders Vederstyggeligheder!
7 For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by 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 Årsag til Skyld, for sit Ansigt og så kommer til Profeten, for at denne skal rådspørge mig for ham, ham vil jeg, HERREN, selv svare;
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
jeg retter mit Åsyn 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 the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off from the midst of my people Israel.
Men lader Profeten sig lokke til at sige et Ord, så er det mig, HERREN, der har lokket ham, og jeg udrækker min Hånd imodham og udrydder ham af mit Folk Israel.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
De skal begge bære deres Skyld, Spørgeren og Profeten skal være lige skyldige,
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith 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 således:
13 Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it.
Menneskesøn! Når et Land troløst synder imod mig, og jeg udrækker min Hånd imod det og bryder Brødets Støttestav for det og sender Hungersnød over det og udrydder Folk og Fæ,
14 And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts.
og disse tre Mænd var i dets Mtidte: Noa, Daniel og Job, så skulde kun de tre redde deres Liv ved deres Retfærdighed, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts:
Eller lader jeg Rovdyr fare igennem Landet og gøre det folketomt, så det bliver øde og ingen tør gå derigennem for de vilde Dyr,
16 If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate.
og disse tre Mænd var i dets Midte - så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: De skulde ikke redde deres Sønner eller Døtre; de selv alene skulde reddes, men Landet måtte blive øde.
17 Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it:
Eller lader jeg Sværdet komme over dette Land og siger: "Sværdet skal fare igennem Landet!" og udrydder Folk og Fæ deraf,
18 And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered.
og disse tre Mænd var i dets Midte - så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: De skulde ikke redde deres Sønner eller Døtre; de selv alene skulde reddes.
19 Or if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation upon it in blood, to cut off from it 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 Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice.
og Noa, Daniel og Job var i dets Midte - så 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 saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast,
Men så siger den Herre HERREN: Og dog, når jeg sender mine fire grumme Straffedomme, Sværd, Hunger, Rovdyr og Pest, over Jerusalem for at udrydde Folk og Fæ deraf,
22 Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought 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 comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
De skal være eder en Trøst, når 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.
