Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yes, you shall show her all her abominations.
Du Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Blodbyen? Saa forehold den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder
3 Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the middle of it, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Byen, der udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Time skal komme, og laver sig Afgudsbilleder for at gøre sig uren.
4 You are become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
Ved dine egne Folks Blod, som du har udgydt, har du paadraget dig Skyld, og ved de Afgudsbilleder du har lavet, er du blevet uren; du har bragt din Time nær og hidført dine Aars Frist. Derfor gør jeg dig til Haan for Folkene og til Spot for alle Lande;
5 Those that be near, and those that be far from you, shall mock you, which are infamous and much vexed.
fra nær og fjern skal man spotte dig, du, hvis Navn er skændet, og som er fuld af Larm.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in you to their power to shed blood.
Se, Israels Fyrster optræder hver og een egenmægtigt i dig og udøser Blod.
7 In you have they set light by father and mother: in the middle of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
Fader og Moder ringeagtes, den fremmede undertrykkes i dig, den faderløse og Enken lider Uret.
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Mine hellige Ting agter du ringe og vanhelliger mine Sabbater.
9 In you are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in the middle of you they commit lewdness.
Du har Æreskændere i din Midte, som bagtaler, saa der udøses Blod, og Folk, som spiser paa Bjergene. Utugt gaar i Svang i din Midte;
10 In you have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in you have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
i dig blottes Faderens Skam, og Kvinder krænkes i deres Urenheds Tid.
11 And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
Man øver Vederstyggelighed mod sin Næstes Hustru, man gør sin Sønnekone uren ved Utugt, man skænder i dig sin kødelige Søster.
12 In you have they taken gifts to shed blood; you have taken usury and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
I dig tager man Gave for at udøse Blod; du tager Aager og Opgæld, voldelig øver du Svig mod din Næste; og mig glemmer du, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the middle of you.
Men se, jeg slaar Hænderne sammen over den uredelige Vinding, du har skaffet dig, og over det Blod, der er udøst i dig.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
Kan dit Hjerte holde Stand, kan dine Hænder være faste i de Dage, da jeg tager fat paa dig? Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
15 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and will consume your filthiness out of you.
Jeg vil sprede dig blandt Folkene og udstrø dig i Landene og tage din Urenhed fra dig;
16 And you shall take your inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
jeg vil lade mig vanære ved dig for Folkenes Øjne; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
17 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the middle of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de er alle blevet Kobber, Tin, Jern og Bly i Smelteovnen; Sølvslagger er de blevet.
19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I alle er blevet til Slagger, derfor vil jeg samle eder i Jerusalem;
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
som man samler Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Bly og Tin i en Smelteovn og blæser til Ilden for at smelte det, saaledes vil jeg i min Vrede og Harme samle eder og kaste eder ind og smelte eder;
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the middle therof.
jeg vil samle eder og blæse min Vredes Ild op imod eder, saa I smeltes deri.
22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the middle thereof; and you shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury on you.
Som Sølv smeltes i Smelteovnen, skal I smeltes deri; og I skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har udøst min Vrede over eder.
23 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
24 Son of man, say to her, You are the land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.
Menneskesøn, sig til Landet: Du er et Land, der ikke faar Regn og Byger paa Vredens Dag,
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the middle thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the middle thereof.
hvis Fyrster er som brølende Løver paa Rov; de tilintetgør Sjæle, tilriver sig Gods og Guld, gør mange til Enker deri.
26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Præsterne øver Vold mod min Lov, vanhelliger mine hellige Ting og gør ikke Skel mellem det, der er helligt, og det, der ikke er helligt, lærer ikke Forskel mellem rent og urent og lukker Øjnene for mine Sabbater, saa jeg er blevet vanhelliget iblandt dem.
27 Her princes in the middle thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Fyrsterne er som Ulve paa Rov: de er ivrige efter at udøse Blod og tilintetgøre Menneskeliv for at skaffe sig Vinding.
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the LORD has not spoken.
Profeterne stryger over med Kalk, idet de skuer Tomhed og varsler Løgn og siger: »Saa siger den Herre HERREN!« uden at HERREN har talet.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
Det menige Folk øver Vold og gaar paa Rov, den arme og fattige gør de Uret, og den fremmede undertrykker de imod Lov og Ret.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Jeg søgte iblandt dem efter en, der vilde bygge en Mur og stille sig i Gabet for mit Aasyn til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed on their heads, says the Lord GOD.
Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, med min Harmes Ild tilintetgør jeg dem; deres Færd lader jeg komme over deres Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
