Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and you have said to them: When I bring a sword on a land, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him their 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 he has seen the sword coming against the land, And has blown with a horn, and has warned the people,
og han ser Sværdet komme over Landet og støder i Hornet og advarer Folket,
4 And the hearer has heard the voice of the horn, and he has not taken warning, And the sword comes in, and takes him away, His blood is on 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 voice of the horn he heard, And he has not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning has 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 And the watchman, when he sees the sword coming in, And he has not blown with a horn, And the people have not been warned, And a sword comes in, And takes away a soul from them, He is taken away in his iniquity, And I require his blood from the hand of the watchman.
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 And you, son of man, I gave you [as] a watchman for the house of Israel, And you have heard a word from My mouth, And you have warned 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 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one—you surely die, And you have not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, And I require his blood from your 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 And you, when you have warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he has not turned back from his way, He dies in his iniquity, And you have delivered your 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 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel: You have spoken correctly, saying, Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And we are wasting away in them, How, then, do 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 to them, [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I do not delight in the death of the wicked, But in the turning of the wicked from his way, and he has lived. Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways! Indeed, why do you 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 And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The righteousness of the righteous does not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He does not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
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 In My saying of the righteous: He surely lives, And—he has trusted on his righteousness, And he has done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he has done, He dies for it.
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 And in My saying to the wicked: You surely die, And—he has turned back from his sin, And has done judgment 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 (The wicked restores a pledge, he repays [for] plunder), He has walked in the statutes of life, So as not to do perversity, He surely lives—he does 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 sin—his sins that he has sinned—are not remembered against him, He has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives.
ingen af de Synder, han har gjort, skal tilregnes ham; han har gjort Ret og Skel, visselig skal han leve.
17 And the sons of your people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As for them—their way is not pondered.
Og saa siger dine Landsmænd: »Herrens Vej er ikke ret!« Men det er deres Vej, som ikke er ret.
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity—he dies for it.
Naar den retfærdige vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, skal han dø;
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he has done judgment and righteousness—he lives by them.
og naar den gudløse omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og gør Ret og Skel, skal han leve!
20 And you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered; I judge each of you according to his ways, 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 comes to pass, in the twelfth year—in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month—of our removal, one who is escaped from Jerusalem comes to me, saying, “The city has been struck.”
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 And the hand of YHWH has been to me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He opens my mouth until [his] coming to me in the morning, and my mouth is opened, and I have not been silent again.
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
24 “Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying, Abraham has been alone—and he possesses the land, and we [are] many—the land has been given to us for a possession.
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 to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: You eat with the blood, And you lift up your eyes to your idols, And you shed blood, Should you then inherit 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 You have stood on your sword, You have done abomination, You have each defiled the wife of his neighbor, Should you then 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 you say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—do they who [are] in the ruins not fall by the sword? And they who [are] on the face of the field, I have given for food to the beast, And they who are in strongholds and in caves die by 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 have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And the excellence of its strength has ceased, And mountains of Israel have been desolated, Without anyone passing through.
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 have known that I [am] YHWH, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
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 you, son of man, The sons of your people who are speaking about you, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken with one another, each with his brother, Saying, Please come in, And hear what the word [is] that comes out from YHWH.
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 they come in to you as the coming in of a people, And they sit before you—My people, And have heard your words, and they do not do them, For they are making unhealthy loves with their mouth, Their heart is going after their dishonest gain.
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 behold, you [are] as a singer of unhealthy loves to them, A beautiful voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard your words, and they are not doing them.
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 And in its coming in—behold, it has come, And they have known that a prophet has been in their midst!”
Men naar det kommer — og se, det kommer — skal de kende, at en Profet har været iblandt dem.
