Ezekiel 9
1 He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Og han raabte for mine Øren med høj Røst og sagde: I, som holde Vagt over Staden! kommer hid, hver med sit ødelæggende Vaaben i sin Haand.
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
Og se, der kom seks Mand ad Vejen fra den øverste Port, som vender imod Norden, og hver havde sit knusende Vaaben i sin Haand; men der var een Mand midt iblandt dem, klædt i Linklæder, med et Skriveredskab ved Hoften; og de gik ind og stode ved Siden af Kobberalteret.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
Og Israels Guds Herlighed hævede sig op fra Keruben, over hvilken den var, hen til Husets Dørtærskel; og han kaldte ad den Mand, som var klædt i Linklæderne og som havde Skriveredskabet ved Hoften.
4 And the LORD said to him, Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the middle thereof.
Og Herren sagde til ham: Gak midt igennem Staden, midt igennem Jerusalem, og sæt et Tegn paa Panden af de Mænd, som sukke og jamre over alle de Vederstyggeligheder, som ske i dens Midte.
5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go you after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have you pity:
Og til de andre sagde han for mine Øren: Gaar igennem Staden efter ham, og slaar ned; eders Øjne skulle ikke spare, og I skulle ikke skaane.
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man on whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Gamle Mænd, unge Karle og Jomfruer og smaa Børn og Kvinder skulle I slaa ihjel, saa at de udryddes; men rører ikke nogen, paa hvem Tegnet er, og begynder fra min Helligdom af! Og de begyndte med de gamle Mænd, som vare foran Huset.
7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go you forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Og han sagde til dem: Besmitter Huset og fylder Forgaarden med ihjelslagne; gaar derpaa ud; og de gik ud og sloge ihjel i Staden.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your fury on Jerusalem?
Og det skete, der de ihjelsloge dem, og jeg blev tilbage, da faldt jeg ned paa mit Ansigt og raabte og sagde: Ak, Herre, Herre! vil du da ødelægge alt det, som er blevet tilovers af Israel, idet du udøser din Harme over Jerusalem?
9 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD has forsaken the earth, and the LORD sees not.
Og han sagde til mig: Israels og Judas Hus's Misgerning er over al Maade stor, og Landet er fyldt med Blodskyld, og Staden er fuld af Retskrænkelse; thi de sige: Herren har forladt Landet, og Herren ser det ikke.
10 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way on their head.
Og jeg! — mit Øje skal heller ikke spare, og jeg vil ikke skaane; men jeg vil lade deres Vej falde tilbage paa deres Hoved.
11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
Og se, den Mand, som var klædt i Linklæderne, og som havde Skriveredskaber ved Hoften, bragte Svar tilbage og sagde: Jeg har gjort, ligesom du befalede mig.
