Ezekiel 36
1 And thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:
Men du, Menneskesøn, profetér om Israels Bjerge og sig: Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENS Ord.
2 Thus saith the Lord God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance.
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: »Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!«
3 Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and trodden under foot on every side, and made an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are become the subject of the talk, and the reproach of the people:
derfor skal du profetere og sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi man har higet og snappet efter eder fra alle Sider, for at I skulde tilfalde Resten af Folkene som Ejendom, og fordi I er kommet i Folkemunde,
4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about.
derfor, Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENS Ord: Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfterne og Dalene, til de øde Tomter og de forladte Byer, som er blevet til Rov og til Spot for Resten af Folkene rundt om,
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste.
derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, i brændende Nidkærhed vil jeg tale mod Resten af Folkene og mod hele Edom, som med al Hjertets Glæde og Sjælens Ringeagt udsaa sig mit Land til Ejendom for at drive Indbyggerne bort og gøre det til Rov.
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles.
Profeter derfor om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfterne og Dalene: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg taler i Nidkærhed og Harme, fordi I bærer Folkenes Haan.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg løfter min Haand og sværger: Sandelig, Folkene rundt om eder skal selv bære deres Haan.
8 But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.
Og I, Israels Bjerge, skal skyde Grene og bære Frugt for mit Folk Israel, thi de skal snart komme hjem.
9 For lo I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown.
Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsaas;
10 And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired.
jeg gør Mennesker, alt Israels Hus, mangfoldige paa eder, Byerne skal bebos og Ruinerne genopbygges;
11 And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
jeg gør Mennesker og Dyr mangfoldige paa eder, ja de skal blive mangfoldige og frugtbare; jeg lader eder bebos som i fordums Tider og gør det bedre for eder end i Fortiden; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
12 And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them.
Jeg lader Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, færdes paa eder; de skal tage dig i Eje, og du skal være deres Arvelod og ikke mere gøre dem barnløse.
13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: »Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!«
14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, nor destroy thy nation any more, saith the Lord God:
derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.
Og jeg lader dig ikke mere høre Folkenes Haan, og du skal ikke mere bære Folkeslagenes Spot eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.
Menneskesøn! Da Israels Slægt boede i deres Land, gjorde de det urent ved deres Færd og Gerninger; som en Kvindes renhed var deres Færd for mit Aasyn.
18 And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.
Saa udøste jeg min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, de udgød i Landet, og fordi de gjorde det urent med deres Afgudsbilleder.
19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices.
Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.
20 And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.
Saaledes kom de til Folkene: hvor de kom hen, vanærede de mit hellige Navn, idet man sagde om dem: »De der er HERRENS Folk, og dog maatte de ud af hans Land!«
21 And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.
Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.
22 Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went.
Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Det er ikke for eders Skyld, jeg griber ind, Israels Hus, men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, som I har vanæret blandt de Folk, I kom til.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Jeg vil hellige mit store Navn, som vanæres blandt Folkene, idet I har vanæret det iblandt dem; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, naar jeg helliger mig paa eder for deres Øjne.
24 For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.
25 And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
Da stænker jeg rent Vand paa eder, saa I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.
26 And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
Jeg giver eder et nyt Hjerte, og en ny Aand giver jeg i eders Indre; Stenhjertet tager jeg ud af eders Kød og giver eder et Kødhjerte.
27 And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
Jeg giver min Aand i eders Indre og virker, at I følger mine Vedtægter og tager Vare paa at holde mine Lovbud,
28 And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
I skal bo i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre, og I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
29 And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.
Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenhed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the held, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
Jeg mangfoldiggør Træernes Frugter og Markens Afgrøde, for at I ikke mere skal tage en Hungersnøds Skændsel paa eder blandt Folkene.
31 And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.
Da skal I ihukomme eders onde Veje og eders Gerninger, som ikke var gode, og ledes ved eder selv over eders Misgerninger og Vederstyggeligheder.
32 It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.
Ikke for eders Skyld griber jeg ind, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, det være eder kundgjort! Skam jer og blues over eders Veje, Israels Hus!
33 Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Den Dag jeg renser eder for alle eders Misgerninger, lader jeg Byerne bebos, og Ruinerne skal genopbygges;
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,
det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.
35 They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.
Da skal man sige: »Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og Byerne, som var omstyrtet, ødelagt og nedrevet, er befæstet og beboet.«
36 And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.
Og Folkene, der er tilbage rundt om eder, skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har opbygget de nedrevne Byer og tilplantet det ødelagte Land; jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
37 Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ogsaa dette vil jeg gøre for Israels Hus paa deres Bøn: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige som en Hjord af Mennesker;
38 As a holy dock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
som en Hjord af Offerdyr, som Jerusalems Faarehjorde paa dets Højtider skal de omstyrtede Byer blive fulde af Menneskehjorde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
