Ezekiel 22
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “And you, son of man, do you judge? Do you judge the city of blood? Then you have caused it to know all its abominations,
Og du Menneskesøn! vil du dømme, vil du dømme den blodskyldige Stad? ja, kundgør den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder!
3 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it has made idols on it for defilement.
Og du skal sige: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Det er en Stad, som udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Tid skal komme, og som gør sig Afguder til at besmitte sig ved.
4 You have been guilty by your blood that you have shed, And you have been defiled by your idols that you have made, And you cause your days to draw near, And have come to your years, Therefore I have given you [for] a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
Du er bleven skyldig ved dit Blod, som du har udøst, og har besmittet dig med de Afguder, som du har gjort, saa at du bragte dine Dage til at nærme sig og naaede dine Aar: Derfor har jeg gjort dig til Forhaanelse iblandt Hedningerne og til Spot for alle Landene.
5 The near and the far-off from you scoff at you, O defiled of name—abounding in trouble.
Baade de, som ere nær, og de, som ere langt fra dig, skulle spotte dig, du med det besmittede Navn og med den store Forstyrrelse!
6 Behold, princes of Israel—each according to his arm Have been in you to shed blood.
Se, Israels Fyrster, hver efter sin Arms Styrke, vare hos dig for at udøse Blod.
7 They have made light of father and mother in you, They dealt oppressively to a sojourner in your midst, They oppressed fatherless and widow in you.
Man ringeagtede Fader og Moder hos dig, man handlede med Vold imod den fremmede i din Midte, man forfordelte den faderløse og Enken hos dig.
8 You have despised My holy things, And you have defiled My Sabbaths.
Du foragtede mine Helligdomme og vanhelligede mine Sabbater.
9 Men of slander have been in you to shed blood, And they have eaten on the mountains in you, They have done wickedness in your midst.
Bagvadskere var der hos dig, paa det de kunde udøse Blod; og man holdt Maaltid paa Bjergene hos dig, man gjorde skændige Ting i din Midte.
10 One has uncovered the nakedness of a father in you, They humbled the menstruous woman in you.
Man har blottet en Faders Blusel hos dig; man har krænket Kvinden i hendes Svaghed hos dig.
11 And each has done abomination with the wife of his neighbor, And each has defiled his daughter-in-law through wickedness, And each has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
Og man har bedrevet Vederstyggelighed med sin Næstes Hustru, og man har vanæret sin Sønnekone med Skændsel, og man har krænket sin Søster, sin Faders Datter, hos dig.
12 They have taken a bribe to shed blood in you, You have taken usury and increase, And cut off your neighbor by oppression, And you have forgotten Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH!
De toge Skænk hos dig for at udøse Blod; du tog Aager og Overgivt og forfordelte din Næste ved Undertrykkelse, men mig glemte du, siger den Herre, Herre.
13 And behold, I have struck My hand, Because of your dishonest gain that you have gained, And for your blood that has been in your midst.
Og se, jeg har slaaet mine Hænder sammen over din Vinding, som du har gjort dig, og for din Blodskyld, som er i din Midte.
14 Does your heart stand—are your hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken and have done [it].
Mon dit Hjerte skal kunne holde Stand? mon dine Hænder skulle beholde Styrke paa de Dage, naar jeg vil handle med dig? jeg, Herren, jeg har talt det og vil gøre det.
15 And I have scattered you among nations, And have spread you out among lands, And consumed your uncleanness out of you.
Og jeg vil adsprede dig iblandt Hedningerne og strø dig over Landene og bortskaffe din Urenhed fra dig,
16 And you have been defiled in yourself Before the eyes of nations, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Og du skal være vanhelliget ved dig selv for Hedningernes Øjne og fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
17 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has been for dross to Me, All of them [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace—silver has been dross,
Du Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de ere alle Kobber og Tin og Jern og Bly midt i en Ovn, Sølvslagger ere de blevne.
19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have all become dross, Therefore, behold, I am gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem,
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre, fordi I alle ere blevne til Slagger, derfor se, jeg vil samle eder midt i Jerusalem.
20 A gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin, Into the midst of a furnace—to blow fire on it, to melt it, So I gather in My anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
Ligesom man samler Sølv og Kobber og Jern og Bly og Tin midt i en Ovn for at oppuste Ild derover, til at smelte det: Saaledes vil jeg samle eder i min Vrede og i min Harme og lægge eder ind og smelte eder.
21 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And you have been melted in its midst.
Ja, jeg vil samle eder og oppuste min Vredes Ild over eder, og I skulle smeltes derinde.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So you are melted in its midst, And you have known that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury on you.”
Ligesom Sølv smeltes midt i en Ovn, saa skulle I smeltes i dens Midte, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg, Herren, jeg har udøst min Harme over eder.
23 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
24 “Son of man, say to it, You [are] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.
Du Menneskesøn! sig til det: Du er et Land, som ikke er renset, som ikke har faaet Regn paa Vredens Dag.
25 A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, As a roaring lion tearing prey; They have devoured the soul, They have taken wealth and glory, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
Dets Profeter have sammensvoret sig i dets Midte, de ere som en brølende Løve, der røver Rov; de fortære Sjæle, tage Gods og dyrebare Ting, gøre mange til Enker derudi.
26 Its priests have wronged My law, And they defile My holy things, They have not made separation between holy and common, And they have not made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, And I am pierced in their midst.
Dets Præster forgribe sig paa min Lov og vanhellige mine Helligdomme, de gøre ingen Forskel imellem helligt og vanhelligt, og Forskellen imellem rent og urent gøre de ikke bekendt; og de lukke deres Øjne for mine Sabbater, og jeg vanhelliges midt iblandt dem.
27 Its princes [are] as wolves in its midst, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.
Dets Fyrster i dets Midte ere som Ulve, der røve Rov, saa at de udøse Blod, ødelægge Sjæle for at gøre sig Vinding.
28 And its prophets have coated with chalk for them, Seeing a vain thing, and divining a lie for them, Saying, Thus said Lord YHWH, And YHWH has not spoken.
Og dets Profeter anstryge dem med løs Kalk, idet de bringe dem forfængelige Syner og spaa Løgn for dem, sigende: „Saa siger den Herre, Herre‟; skønt Herren ikke har talt.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder away violently, And have oppressed humble and needy, And oppressed the sojourner without judgment.
Folket i Landet undertrykke de ved Vold, de røve Rov og forfordele den elendige og fattige og undertrykke den fremmede tværtimod Ret.
30 And I seek from them a man making a wall, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have found none.
Og jeg ledte efter en Mand iblandt dem, som vilde gærde et Gærde og staa i Gabet for mit Ansigt til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
31 And I pour out My indignation on them, I have consumed them by [the] fire of My wrath, I have put their way on their own head, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, jeg gør Ende paa dem i min Fortørnelses Ild; jeg lader deres Vej falde tilbage paa deres Hoved, siger den Herre, Herre.
