Ezekiel 13

1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, 'Hear the word of Jehovah:

Menneskesøn, profetér mod Israels Profeter, profetér og sig til dem, som profeterer efter deres eget Hjertes Tilskyndelse: Hør HERRENS Ord!

3 Thus says Jehovah, "Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing.

Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Profeterne, de Daarer, som følger deres egen Aand uden at have skuet noget!

4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

Dine Profeter, Israel, er som Sjakaler i Ruiner.

5 You have not gone up into the breaches, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah."

De stillede sig ikke i Murbruddet og byggede ikke en Mur om Israels Hus, saa det kunde staa sig i Striden paa HERRENS Dag.

6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, "Jehovah says"; but Jehovah has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

De skuede Tomhed og spaaede Løgn, idet de sagde: »Saa lyder det fra HERREN!« uden at HERREN havde sendt dem, og dog ventede de Ordet stadfæstet,

7 "Haven't you seen a false vision, and haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, "Jehovah says"; but I have not spoken?

Var det ikke tomme Syner, I skuede, og Løgnespaadomme, I fremsatte? Og I siger: »Saa lyder det fra HERREN!« uden at jeg har talet.

8 Therefore thus says Jehovah: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, look, I am against you, says Jehovah.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I forkynder Tomhed og skuer Løgn, se, derfor kommer jeg over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

9 My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

Jeg udrækker min Haand mod Profeterne, der skuer Tomhed og spaar Løgn; i mit Folks Samfund skal de ikke være, de skal ikke optages i Israels Hus's Mandtalsbog og ikke komme til Israels Land; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, 'Peace'; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, look, they plaster it with whitewash:

Fordi, ja fordi de vildleder mit Folk ved af forkynde Fred, hvor ingen Fred er, og naar det bygger en Væg, stryger den over med Kalk,

11 tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind break out.

saa sig til dem, der stryger over med kalk: Skylregn skal komme, Isstykker skal falde og Stormvejr bryde løs,

12 Look, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, 'Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?'

og naar saa Væggen styrter sammen, vil man da ikke spørge eder: »Hvor er Kalken, I strøg paa?«

13 "'"Therefore thus says Jehovah: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Og jeg lader et Stormvejr bryde løs i min Harme, og Skylregn skal komme i min Vrede og Isstykker i min Harme til Undergang;

14 So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

og Væggen, som I strøg over med Kalk, river jeg ned og lader den styrte til Jorden, saa dens Grundvold blottes, og ved dens Fald skal I gaa til Grunde derinde; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, 'The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;

Jeg vil udtømme min Vrede over Væggen og dem, der strøg den over med Kalk, saa man skal sige til eder: »Hvor er Væggen, og hvor er de, som strøg den over,

16 to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,'"' says Jehovah."

Israels Profeter, som profeterede om Jerusalem og skuede Fredssyner for det, hvor ingen Fred var« — lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

17 "You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,

Og du, Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod dit Folks Døtre, som profeterer efter deres eget Hjertes Tilskyndelse; profeter imod dem

18 and say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls. Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve dem, der syr Bind til alle Haandled og laver Slør til alle Hoveder efter hver Legemshøjde for at fange Sjæle! Dræber I Sjæle, der hører til mit Folk, og holder Sjæle i Live af Egennytte?

19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies."

I, som vanhelliger mig for mit Folk for nogle Haandfulde Bygkorn og nogle Bidder Brød og saaledes dræber Sjæle, der ikke skulde dø, og holder Sjæle i Live, som ikke skulde leve, idet I lyver for mit Folk, som gerne hører paa Løgn!

20 "'Therefore thus says Jehovah: "Look, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over eders Bind, med hvilke I fanger Sjæle, og river dem af eders Arme, og de Sjæle, I fanger, lader jeg slippe fri som Fugle;

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

og jeg sønderriver eders Slør og frier mit Folk af eders Haand, saa de ikke mere er Bytte i eders Haand; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

22 Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

Fordi I ved Svig volder den retfærdiges Hjerte Smerte, skønt jeg ikke vilde volde ham Smerte, og styrker den gudløses Hænder, saa han ikke omvender sig fra sin onde Vej, at jeg kan holde ham i Live,

23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am Jehovah."'"

derfor skal I ikke mere skue Tomhed eller drive eders Spaadomskunst; jeg frier mit Folk af eders Haand; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
