Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
HERRENs Ord kom i det niende år på den tiende dag i den tiende Måned til mig således:
2 "Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
Menneskesøn, opskriv dig Navnet på denne Dag, Dagen i Dag, thi netop i Dag har Babels Konge kastet sig over Jerusalem.
3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD, "Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Og tal i Lignelse til den genstridige Slægt og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Sæt kedelen over, sæt den over; kom også Vand deri;
4 gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
læg Kødstykker i, alle Hånde gode Stykker, Kølle og Bov, fyld den med udsøgte Knogler;
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in its midst."'
tag af Hjordens bedste Dyr og læg en Stabel Brænde under den; kog Stykkerne, så også Knoglerne koges ud!
6 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust is not gone out of it. Take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen on it.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen, den rustne Kedel, hvis Rust ikke er gået af. Stykke efter Stykke giver den fra sig; der kastes ikke Lod om dem;
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
thi Blodet er endnu midti Byen; den hældte det på den nøgne Klippe og udgød det ikke på Jorden for at dække det med Muld.
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.'
For at fremkalde Vrede, for at tage Hævn hældte jeg Blodet på den nøgne klippe uden at dække det.
9 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Woe to the bloody city. I also will make the pile great.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Blodbyen! Nu vil også jeg gøre brændestabelen stor;
10 Pile on the wood, make the fire hot, boil the meat well, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.
hent brænde i Mængde, lad Ilden lue og Kødet blive mørt, hæld Suppen ud og lad Benene brændes
11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
og sæt kedelen tom på de glødende kul, for at den kan blive så hed, at Kobberet gløder og Urenheden smelter; Rusten skal svinde!
12 She has wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't go forth by fire.
Møje har den kostet, men den megen Rust gik ikke af. I Ilden med Rusten!
13 In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
Fordi du er uren af Utugt, fordi du ikke kom af med din Urenhed, skønt jeg rensede dig, skal du ikke blive ren igen, før jeg har kølet min Harme på dig.
14 I, the LORD, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,' says the LORD."
Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og det kommer! Jeg griber ind og opgiver det ikke, jeg skåner ikke og angre ej heller; efter dine Veje og dine Gerninger vil jeg dømme dig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
16 "Son of man, look, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
Menneskesøn! Se, jeg tager dine Øjnes Lyst fra dig ved en brat Død; men du skal ikke klage eller græde; du skal ikke fælde Tårer;
17 Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat men's bread."
suk i Stilhed og hold ikke Døde klage, bind Huen på og tag Sko på Fødderne, tilhyl ikke dit Skæg og spis ikke Sørgebrød!
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Tal så om Morgenen til Folket! - Så døde min Hustru om Aftenen, og næste Morgen gjorde jeg, som mig var pålagt.
19 The people said to me, "Won't you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?"
Og da Folket sagde til mig: "Vil du ikke lade os vide, hvad det, du der gør, skal sige os?"
20 Then I said to them, "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
svarede jeg: "HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
21 'Speak to the house of Israel, "Thus says the LORD: Look, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Sig til Israels Hus: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil vanhellige min Helligdom, eders Hovmods Stolthed, eders Øjnes Lyst, eders Sjæles Længsel; og de Sønner og Døtre, I lod tilbage, skal falde for Sværdet!
22 You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Og I skal gøre, som jeg nu gør: I skal ikke tilhylle eders Skæg eller spise Sørgebrød;
23 Your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
eders Huer skal blive på Hovederne og eders Sko på Fødderne; I skal ikke klage eller græde, men svinde hen i eders Synder og sukke for hverandre.
24 Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the LORD."'"
Ezekiel skal være eder et Tegn; når det sker, skal I gøre, som han gør; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN,"
25 "You, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,
Og du, Menneskesøn! På den Dag jeg tager deres Værn, deres herlige Fryd, deres Øjnes Lyst og deres Sjæles Længsel, deres Sønner og Døtre fra dem,
26 that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
på den Dag skal en Flygtning komme til dig og melde det for dine Ører;
27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
på den Dag skal din Mund åbnes, når Flygtningen kommer, og du skal tale og ikke mere være stum; du skal være dem et Tegn; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
