Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, If there be a land over which I bring the sword, and the people of the land take a man from among themselves, and appoint him unto themselves for a watchman;
Menneskesøn, tal til dine Landsmænd og sig: Naar jeg fører Sværdet over et Land, og Folket i Landet tager en af sin Midte og gør ham til deres Vægter,
3 And if he see the sword coming over the land, and blow the cornet, and warn the people;
og han ser Sværdet komme over Landet og støder i Hornet og advarer Folket,
4 And whosoever heareth the sound of the cornet, and taketh no warning; and the sword cometh, and taketh him away: his blood shall be upon his own head.
men den, der hører Hornets Klang, ikke lader sig advare, og Sværdet kommer og river ham bort, da kommer hans Blod over hans Hoved.
5 The sound of the cornet hath he heard, and he hath taken no warning; his blood shall be upon him. But had he taken warning he would have delivered his soul.
Han hørte Hornets Klang uden at lade sig advare, hans Blod kommer over hans Hoved; men den, som har advaret, har reddet sin Sjæl.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the cornet, so that the people be not warned, and the sword cometh, and taketh away from among them some person: this one is taken away for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from the watchman's hand.
Men naar Vægteren ser Sværdet komme og ikke støder i Hornet, saa at Folket ikke advares, og Sværdet kommer og over en af dem bort, saa rives han vel bort for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af Vægterens Haand.
7 But as for thee, O son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: so that when thou hearest a word from my mouth, thou shalt warn them from me.
Men dig, Menneskesøn, har jeg sat til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked one, thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way: that wicked one shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from thy hand.
Naar jeg siger til den gudløse: »Du skal visselig dø!« og du ikke taler for at advare ham mod hans Vej, saa skal den gudløse vel dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou hast indeed warned the wicked of his way to turn away from it, and he do not turn from his way: he shall certainly die for his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Advarer du derimod den gudløse mod hans Vej, for at han skal omvende sig fra den, og han ikke omvender sig, saa skal han dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
10 But thou, O son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, Thus do ye speak, saying, Truly our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them do we pine away: how then shall we live?
Og du, Menneskesøn, sig til Israels Hus: I siger: »Vore Overtrædelser og Synder tynger os, og vi svinder hen i dem, hvor kan vi da leve?«
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but in the return of the wicked from his way that he may live: return ye, return ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Sig til dem: Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg har ikke Lyst til den gudløses Død, men til at han omvender sig fra sin Vej, at han maa leve! Vend om, vend om fra eders onde Veje Hvorfor vil I dø, Israels Hus?
12 But thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him on the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not stumble through it on the day that he returneth from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live through the other on the day that he sinneth.
Men du, Menneskesøn, sig til dine Landsmænd: Den retfærdiges Retfærdighed skal ikke redde ham, den Dag han synder, og den gudløses Gudløshed skal ikke fælde ham, den Dag han omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed, og en retfærdig skal ikke blive i Live ved sin Retfærdighed, den Dag han gør Synd.
13 When I say of the righteous, that he shall surely live, and he trusteth to his own righteousness, and committeth what is wrong: all his righteous deeds shall not be remembered, and for his wrong that he hath committed, —through this shall he die.
Naar jeg siger til den retfærdige: »Du skal visselig leve!« og han stoler paa sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, saa skal intet af hans Retfærdighed tilregnes ham, men han skal dø for den Uret, han øver.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and he turneth from his sin, and executeth justice and righteousness;
Og naar jeg siger til den gudløse: »Du skal visselig dø!« og han omvender sig fra sin Synd og gør Ret og Skel,
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, make restitution for what he hath robbed, walk in the statutes of life, so as not to do any wrong: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
idet han giver Pant tilbage, godtgør, hvad han har ranet, og følger Livets Bud uden at øve Uret, saa skal han leve og ikke dø;
16 All his sins that he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: justice and righteousness hath he executed, he shall surely live.
ingen af de Synder, han har gjort, skal tilregnes ham; han har gjort Ret og Skel, visselig skal han leve.
17 Yet say the children of thy people, The way of the Lord is not equitable: while, as to them, their way is not equitable.
Og saa siger dine Landsmænd: »Herrens Vej er ikke ret!« Men det er deres Vej, som ikke er ret.
18 When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and doth what is wrong, he shall even die therefore.
Naar den retfærdige vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, skal han dø;
19 And when the wicked returneth from his wickedness, and executeth justice and righteousness, he shall surely live therefore.
og naar den gudløse omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og gør Ret og Skel, skal han leve!
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. Every one after his own ways will I judge you, O house of Israel.
Og dog siger I: »Herrens Vej er ikke ret!« Jeg vil dømme eder hver især efter eders Veje, Israels Hus.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month after our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem, saying, The city hath been smitten.
I vor Landflygtigheds ellevte Aar paa den femte Dag i den tiende Maaned kom en Flygtning fra Jerusalem til mig med det Bud: »Byen er indtaget!«
22 Now the inspiration of the Lord was come upon me in the evening, before the coming of the one who had escaped; and he had opened my mouth, before he was come to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was not kept dumb any more.
Men HERRENS Haand var kommet over mig, om Aftenen før Flygtningen kom, og han aabnede min Mund, før han kom til mig om Morgenen; saa aabnedes min Mund, og jeg var ikke mere stum.
23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
24 Son of man, they that dwell in these ruins in the land of Israel say as followeth, But one man was Abraham, and he obtained the land as an inheritance; and as we are many, the land must [surely] be given to us for an inheritance.
Menneskesøn! De, der bor i Ruinerne i Israels Land, siger: »Abraham var kun een og fik dog Landet i eje; vi er mange, og os er Landet givet i Eje!«
25 Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, By the blood do ye eat, and your eyes do you lift up toward your idols, and blood do ye shed: and ye expect to possess the land?
Sig derfor til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: I spiser Kød med Blod i, løfter eders Blik til eders Afgudsbilleder og udgyder Blod, og saa vil I have Landet i Eje!
26 Ye depend upon your sword, ye commit abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife: and ye expect to possess the land?
I støtter eder til eders Sværd, I øver Vederstyggelighed, I gør hverandres Hustruer urene, og saa vil I have Landet i Eje!
27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As I live, surely those that are in the ruined places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts that they may devour him, and those that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die through the pestilence.
Saaledes skal du sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Saa sandt jeg lever: De i Ruinerne skal falde for Sværdet; dem i aabent Land giver jeg de vilde Dyr til Æde, og de i Klippeborgene og Hulerne skal dø af Pest.
28 And I will render the land desolate and wasted, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, with none to pass through them.
Jeg, gør Landet til Ørk og Ødemark, dets stolte Herlighed faar Ende, og Israels Bjerge skal ligge øde, saa ingen færdes der;
29 And they shall experience that I am the Lord, when I render the land desolate and wasted, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
og de, skal kende, at Jeg er HERREN, naar jeg gør Landet til Ørk og Ødemark for alle de Vederstyggeligheder, de har øvet.
30 And thou, son of man, [there are] the children of thy people, who are talking about thee by the walls and in the entrances of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Do come, and hear what the word is which cometh forth from the Lord.
Og du, Menneskesøn, se, dine Landsmænd taler om dig langs Murene og i Husdørene, den ene til den anden, hver til sin Broder, og siger: »Kom og hør, hvad det er for et Ord, der udgaar fra HERREN!«
31 And then they come unto thee as the people come, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but do not execute them; for as merry songs they carry them in their mouth, while their heart goeth after their unlawful gains.
Og de kommer til dig, som var der Opløb, og sætter sig lige over for dig for at høre dine Ord. Men de gør ikke derefter; thi der er Løgn i deres Mund, og deres Hjerte higer efter Vinding.
32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a merry song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well: and [thus] they hear thy words, but execute them not.
Og se, du er dem som en, der synger en Elskovssang med liflig Røst og er dygtig til at spille; de hører dine Ord, men gør ikke derefter.
33 But when it cometh to pass, [lo, it will come, ] then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
Men naar det kommer — og se, det kommer — skal de kende, at en Profet har været iblandt dem.
