Ezekiel 14
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Og der kom Mænd af Israels Ældste til mig og sade for mit Ansigt.
2 And the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Du Menneskesøn! disse Mænd have givet deres Afguder Plads i deres Hjerte, og hvad der var dem Anstød til at synde, have de stillet for deres Ansigt; skulde jeg vel lade mig adspørge for dem?
4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Yhwh will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Derfor tal med dem, og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Enhver Mand af Israels Hus, som giver sine Afguder Plads i sit Hjerte og stiller, hvad der var ham Anstød til at synde, for sit Ansigt og saa kommer til Profeten: For ham vil jeg, Herren, lade mig bringe til at svare desangaaende, nemlig angaaende hans Afguders Mangfoldighed,
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
for at jeg kan gribe Israels Hus ved deres Hjerte, fordi de vege fra mig alle sammen ved deres Afguder.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Derfor sig til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Omvender eder, og vender eder bort fra eders Afguder, ja, vender eders Ansigter bort fra alle eders Vederstyggeligheder!
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I Yhwh will answer him by myself:
Thi naar en Mand af Israels Hus eller af de fremmede, som opholde sig i Israel, skiller sig fra mig og giver sine Afguder Plads i sit Hjerte og stiller, hvad der var ham Anstød til at synde, for sit Ansigt og saa kommer til Profeten for at adspørge mig for sig: Ham vil jeg, Herren, lade mig bringe til at give et Svar fra mig selv.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Yhwh.
Og jeg vil rette mit Ansigt imod denne Mand og ødelægge ham, at han bliver til et Tegn og til et Ordsprog, og jeg vil udrydde ham af mit Folks Midte; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I Yhwh have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Men naar Profeten lader sig overtale og taler noget, da har jeg, Herren, ladet denne Profet overtales; og jeg vil udrække min Haand over ham og ødelægge ham ud af mit Folk Israels Midte.
10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
Og de skulle bære deres Misgerning; som hans Misgerning er, der adspørger, saa skal Profetens Misgerning være,
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Yhwh.
for at de af Israels Hus ikke mere skulle fare vild fra mig ej heller besmitte sig mere med nogen af deres Overtrædelser; men de skulle være mit Folk, og jeg skal være deres Gud, siger den Herre, Herre.
12 The word of Yhwh came again to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
Du Menneskesøn! naar et Land synder imod mig, saa at det bliver troløst imod mig, og jeg udrækker min Haand over det og formindsker Brøds Forraad for det, og jeg sender Hunger i det og udrydder Menneske og Fæ deraf,
14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord Yhwh.
men der var disse tre Mænd, Noa, Daniel Og Job derudi: Da skulde disse alene redde deres Sjæl ved deres Retfærdighed, siger den Herre, Herre.
15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Naatr jeg lader vilde Dyr gaa igennem Landet, og de berøve Folk deres Børn, og det blev øde, saa at ingen gaar der igennem for Dyrenes Skyld,
16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
men hine tre Mænd vare derudi, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: De skulde hverken redde Sønner eller Døtre; de selv alene skulde reddes, men Landet vorde øde.
17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Eller naar jeg lader Sværdet komme over det samme Land, og jeg siger: Sværd! du skal fare igennem Landet, og jeg udrydder Menneske og Fæ deraf,
18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
men hine tre Mænd vare derudi, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: De skulde ikke redde Sønner eller Døtre; men de alene skulde reddes.
19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Eller naar jeg sender Pest i det samme Land og udøser min Harme over det med Blod, saa at jeg udrydder Menneske og Fæ deraf,
20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
men Noa, Daniel og Job vare derudi, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: De skulde hverken redde Søn eller Datter; men de skulde redde deres egen Sjæl ved deres Retfærdighed.
21 For thus saith the Lord Yhwh; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Meget mere, naar jeg sender mine fire grumme Straffedomme over Jerusalem, nemlig: Sværd og Hunger og vilde Dyr og Pest for at udrydde Menneske og Fæ deraf,
22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
og se, der bliver nogle undkomne tilovers, som bortføres, Sønner og Døtre: Se, de skulle gaa ud til eder, og I skulle se deres Vej og deres Gerninger; og I skulle trøste eder over den Ulykke, som jeg lod komme over Jerusalem, ja, alt det, som jeg lod komme over den.
23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Og de skulle trøste eder, naar I se deres Vej og deres Gerninger; og I skulle erkende, at jeg intet har gjort uden Grund af alt det, som jeg gjorde derudi, siger den Herre, Herre.
