Ezekiel 11
1 Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
Så løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig til Herrens huses østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg så iblandt dem Jaazanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.
2 The Lord told me, “Son of man, it's these men who are making evil plans and giving bad advice to the people in this city.
Og han sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser på Uret og lægger onde Råd op i denne By,
3 They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’
idet de siger: "Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!"
4 So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”
Profeter derfor imod dem, profeter, Menneskesøn!
5 The Spirit of the Lord came upon me and told me to say: This is what the Lord says: “People of Israel, that's what you're saying! I know what you're thinking inside!
Så faldt HERRENs Ånd på mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Så siger HERREN: Således taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Ånd.
6 You murder more and more people in this city. You've filled its streets with the dead!
Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.
7 So this is what the Lord God says: Those you've killed in this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I'm going to take you out of it.
Derfor, så 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're afraid of being killed by the sword, so I will bring invaders with swords to attack you, declares the Lord God.
I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
9 I'm going to take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners, and I'm going to carry out my sentence against you.
Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Hånd, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.
10 You will be killed by the sword, and I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel. Then you will 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 The city won't be like a pot for you, and you won't be the meat inside it either. I will punish you right up to 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 Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow my rules and you didn't keep my laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around 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 While I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. I fell facedown on the ground and shouted loudly, “Lord God, are you going to completely destroy what's left of the people of Israel?”
Men medens jeg profeterede således, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt og råbte med høj Røst: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?"
14 A message from Lord came to me, saying,
Så kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
15 “Son of man, your brothers, including your relatives, your fellow exiles, and all the other Israelites, are those the people of Jerusalem were referring to when they said, ‘They are far away from the Lord. This country was given to us and we are to own it.’
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 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Even though I sent them far away to live among the foreign nations, scattering them among the different countries, I have been taking care of them for a while in the countries where they went.
derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Måde var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.
17 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to gather you from the other nations and bring you back from the countries where you've been scattered, and I will return the country of Israel to you.
Men derfor skal du sige: Så 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 When they come back, they are going to get rid of all its offensive idols and disgusting practices from the country.
Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;
19 I will give them single-minded commitment and a whole new spirit. I will take away their hard-hearted attitude and replace it with one that is loving.
jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Ånd; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,
20 This way they can follow my rules, keep my regulations, and do what I say. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
for at de må følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Så skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
21 But for those who still choose to worship offensive idols and engage in disgusting practices, I will let them experience the consequences of their own actions, declares 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 Then the cherubim opened their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them, and with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
Så løftede keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
23 The glory of the Lord rose from inside the city and went over to the mountain to the east of the city.
Og HERRENs Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig på Bjerget østen for.
24 In the vision given to me by the Spirit of God, the Spirit picked me up and carried me back to Babylonia to where the exiles were. After the vision left me,
Derpå løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Ånd i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.
25 I explained to the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.
Så kundgjorde jeg de landflyggige alle de Ord, HERREN havde åbenbaret mig.
