Ezekiel 37
1 There has been a hand of YHWH on me, and He takes me forth in [the] Spirit of YHWH, and places me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
Herrens Haand kom over mig, og Herren førte mig i Aanden ud og nedlod mig midt i en Dal, og den var fuld af Ben.
2 and He causes me to pass over by them, all around, and behold, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and behold—very dry.
Og han lod mig gaa forbi dem trindt omkring, og se, der laa saare mange oven paa Jorden i Dalen, og se, de vare saare tørre.
3 And He says to me, “Son of man, do these bones live?” And I say, “O Lord YHWH, You have known.”
Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! mon disse Ben kunne blive levende? Og jeg sagde: Herre, Herre! du ved det.
4 And He says to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones, and you have said to them, O dry bones, hear a word of YHWH!
Og han sagde til mig: Spaa om disse Ben og sig til dem: I tørre Ben, hører Herrens Ord!
5 Thus said Lord YHWH to these bones: Behold, I am bringing a spirit into you, and you have lived,
Saa siger den Herre, Herre til disse Ben: Se, jeg vil lade komme Aand i eder, og I skulle blive levende.
6 and I have given sinews on you, and cause flesh to come up on you, and covered you over with skin, and given a spirit in you, and you have lived, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Og jeg vil lægge Sener paa eder og lade Kød komme over eder og overdrage eder med Hud og bringe Aand i eder, at I blive levende; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
7 And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise as I am prophesying, and behold, a rushing, and the bones draw near, bone to its bone.
Og jeg spaaede, som mig var befalet, og der kom en Lyd, der jeg spaaede, og se, der blev en Raslen, og Benene nærmede sig, det ene Ben til det andet.
8 And I beheld, and behold, sinews [are] on them, and flesh has come up, and skin covers them over above—and there is no spirit in them.
Og jeg saa, og se, der kom Sener og Kød paa dem, og der trak sig en Hud der ovenover; men der var ikke Aand i dem.
9 And He says to me: “Prophesy to the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and you have said to the Spirit, Thus said Lord YHWH: Come in from the four winds, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they live.”
Og han sagde til mig: Spaa over Aanden, spaa, du Menneskesøn! og sig til Aanden: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Kom, du Aand! fra de fire Vejr, og aand paa disse ihjelslagne, at de blive levende.
10 And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit comes into them, and they live, and stand on their feet—a very, very great force.
Og jeg spaaede, som han befalede mig, og Aanden kom i dem, og de bleve levende og stode paa deres Fødder, en saare stor Hær.
11 And He says to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they are saying, Our bones have dried up, And our hope has perished, We have been cut off by ourselves.
Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! disse Ben ere Israels hele Hus; se, det siger: Vore Ben ere blevne tørre, og vor Forhaabning er borte, det er forbi med os!
12 Therefore, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you into the land of Israel.
Derfor spaa, og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg oplader eders Grave og fører eder op af eders Grave, mit Folk! og bringer eder til Israels Land.
13 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.
Og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg oplader eders Grave, og naar jeg fører eder op af eders Grave, mit Folk!
14 And I have given My Spirit in you, and you have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And you have known that I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it], A declaration of YHWH.”
Og jeg vil sende min Aand i eder, at I blive levende, og jeg vil bosætte eder i eders Land, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg Herren, jeg har talt det og gjort det, siger Herren.
15 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
16 “And you, son of man, take one stick for yourself, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,
Og du Menneskesøn! tag dig et Stykke Træ og skriv derpaa: „For Juda og for hans Medbrødre af Israels Børn‟; og tag et andet Stykke Træ og skriv derpaa: „For Josef‟ — det er Efraims Træ — „og for hele Israels Hus, hans Medbrødre‟,
17 and bring them near to one another, to you, for one stick, and they have become one in your hand.
og føj dem sammen, det ene til det andet, for dig til eet Stykke Træ, saa at de blive til eet i din Haand.
18 And when sons of your people speak to you, saying, Do you not declare to us what these [are] to you?
Og naar dit Folks Børn sige til dig: Vil du ikke give os til Kende, hvad du mener med disse Ting:
19 Speak to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them to him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.
Da sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg vil tage Josefs Træ, som er i Efraims Haand, og Israels Stammer, hans Medbrødre, som jeg sætter derpaa, samt Judas Træ, og jeg vil gøre dem til eet Stykke Træ, og de skulle være eet i min Haand.
20 And the sticks on which you write have been in your hand before your eyes,
Og de Stykker Træ, som du skriver paa, skulle være i din Haand for deres Øjne;
21 and speak to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations to where they have gone, And have gathered them from all around, And I have brought them into their land.
og tal til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg tager Israels Børn ud fra Hedningerne, hvor de vandre, og jeg vil samle dem trindt omkring fra og lade dem komme til deres Land.
22 And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no longer as two nations, Nor are they divided anymore into two kingdoms again.
Og jeg vil gøre dem til eet Folk i Landet paa Israels Bjerge, og een Konge skal være Konge for dem alle, og de skulle ikke ydermere være tvende Folk og ej ydermere dele sig i to Riger fremdeles.
23 Nor are they defiled anymore with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God.
De skulle ej heller mere besmitte sig ved deres Afguder og ved deres Vederstyggeligheder eller ved nogen af alle deres Overtrædelser; eg jeg vil fri dem for alle deres Boliger, i hvilke de have syndet, og rense dem; og de skulle være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud,
24 And My servant David [is] king over them, And they all have one shepherd, And they go in My judgments, And they keep My statutes, and have done them.
Og min Tjener David skal være Konge over dem, og der skal være een Hyrde for dem alle, og de skulle vandre efter mine Bud, holde mine Skikke og gøre efter dem.
25 And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son’s sons—for all time, And My servant David [is] their prince for all time.
Og de skulle bo i Landet, som jeg har givet min Tjener Jakob, i hvilket eders Fædre boede; og de skulle bo der, de og deres Børn og deres Børnebørn til evig Tid, og David min Tjener skal være deres Fyrste evindelig.
26 And I have made a covenant of peace with them, It is a perpetual covenant with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst for all time.
Og jeg vil slutte en Freds Pagt med dem, det skal være dem en evig Pagt, og jeg vil bosætte dem og gøre dem mangfoldige og sætte min Helligdom midt iblandt dem evindelig.
27 And My dwelling place has been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.
Og min Bolig skal være hos dem, og jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skulle være mit Folk.
28 And the nations have known that I, YHWH, am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst for all time!”
Og Hedningerne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, som helliger Israel, naar min Helligdom bliver midt iblandt dem evindelig.
