Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, 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 thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem today.
Menneskesøn, opskriv dig Navnet paa denne Dag, Dagen i Dag, thi netop i Dag har Babels Konge kastet sig over Jerusalem.
3 And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put 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 Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones.
læg Kødstykker i, alle Haande gode Stykker, Kølle og Bov, fyld den med udsøgte Knogler;
5 Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it.
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 God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot 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, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
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 And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered.
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 God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen! Nu vil ogsaa jeg gøre brændestabelen stor;
10 Heap together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed.
hent brænde i Mængde, lad Ilden lue og Kødet blive mørt, hæld Suppen ud og lad Benene brændes
11 Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it 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 Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire.
Møje har den kostet, men den megen Rust gik ikke af. I Ilden med Rusten!
13 Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
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: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord.
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 thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run down.
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 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
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 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had 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: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest?
Og da Folket sagde til mig: »Vil du ikke lade os vide, hvad det, du der gør, skal sige os?«
20 And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
svarede jeg: »HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
21 Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you 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 you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
Og I skal gøre, som jeg nu gør: I skal ikke tilhylle eders Skæg eller spise Sørgebrød;
23 You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with 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 Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
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, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, 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 In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee:
paa den Dag skal en Flygtning komme til dig og melde det for dine Ører;
27 In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you 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.
