Ezekiel 36
1 "You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.
Men du menneskesøn, profeter om Israels bjerge og sig: Israels bjerge, hør Herrens ord.
2 Thus says Jehovah: "Because the enemy has said against you, 'Aha.' and, 'The ancient high places are ours in possession'"';
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi Fjenden sagde om eder: "Ha! Ørkener for stedse! De er blevet vor Ejendom!"
3 therefore prophesy, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people";
derfor skal du profetere og sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi man har higet og snappet efter eder fra alle Sider, for at I skulde tilfalde Resten af Folkene som Ejendom, og fordi I er kommet i Folkemunde,
4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah: "Thus says Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
derfor, Israels Bjerge, hør HERRENs Ord: Så siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene, Højene, kløfterne og Dalene, til de øde Tomter og de forladte Byer, som er blevet til Rov og til Spot for Resten af Folkene rundt om,
5 therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.'"'
derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, i brændende Nidkærhed vil jeg tale mod Resten af Folkene og mod hele Edom, som med al Hjertets Glæde og Sjælens Ringeagt udså sig mit Land til Ejendom for at drive indbyggerne bort og gøre det til Rov.
6 "Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
Profeter derfor om Israels Land og sig til Bjergene, Højene, Kløfteme og Dalene: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg faler i Nidkærhed og Harme, fordi I bærer Folkenes Hån.
7 therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: 'I have sworn, saying, "Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame."
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg løfter min Hånd og sværger: Sandelig, Folkene rundt om eder skal selv bære deres Hån.
8 "'"'But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
Og I, Israels Bjerge, skal skyde Grene og bære Frugt for mit Folk Israel, thi de skal snart komme hjem.
9 For, look, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and you shall be tilled and sown;
Thi se, jeg kommer og vender mig til eder, og I skal dyrkes og tilsås;
10 and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;
jeg gør Mennesker, alt Israels Hus, mangfoldige på eder, Byerne skal bebos og Ruinerne genopbygges;
11 and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
jeg gør Mennesker og Dyr mangfoldige på eder, ja de skal blive mangfoldige og frugtbare; jeg lader eder bebos som i fordums Tider og gør det bedre for eder end i Fortiden; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.'"
Jeg lader Mennesker, mit Folk Israel, færdes på eder; de skal tage dig i Eje, og du skal være deres Arvelod og ikke mere gøre dem barnløse.
13 "'Thus says Jehovah: "Because they say to you, 'You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation';
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi de siger til dig: "Du er en Menneskeæder, som gør dit Folk barnløst!"
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more," says Jehovah;
derfor skal du ikke mere æde Mennesker eller gøre dit Folk barnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
15 "neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more," says Jehovah.'"
Og jeg lader dig ikke mere høre Folkenes Hån, og du skal ikke mere bære Folkeslagenes Spot eller gøre dit Folk harnløst, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
16 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
Menneskesøn! Da Israels Slægt boedei deres Land, gjorde de det urent ved deres Færd og Gerninger; som en Kvindes renhed var deres Færd for mit Åsyn.
18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
Så udøste jeg min Vrede over dem for det Blods Skyld, de udgød i Landet, og fordi de gjorde det urent med deres Afgudsbilleder.
19 and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
Jeg spredte dem blandt Folkene, og de strøedes ud i Landene; efter deres Færd og Gerninger dømte jeg dem.
20 When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, 'These are the people of Jehovah, and are gone forth out of his land.'
Således kom de til Folkene: hvor de kom hen, vanærede de mit hellige Navn, idet man sagde om dem: "De der er HERRENs Folk, og dog måtte de ud af hans Land!"
21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
Da ynkedes jeg over mit hellige Navn, som Israels Hus vanærede blandt de Folk, de kom til.
22 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says Jehovah: "I do not do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.
Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Det er ikke for eders Skyld, jeg griber ind, Israels Hus, men for mit hellige Navns Skyld, som I har vanæret blandt de Folk, I kom til.
23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah when I magnify myself among you before their eyes.
Jeg vil hellige mit store Navn, som vanæres blandt Folkene, idet I har vanæret det iblandt dem; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, når jeg helliger mig på eder for deres Øjne.
24 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Jeg vil hente eder fra Folkene, samle eder fra alle Lande og bringe eder til eders Land.
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Da stænker jeg rent Vand på eder, så I bliver rene; jeg renser eder for al eders Urenhed og alle eders Afgudsbilleder.
26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Jeg giver eder et nyt Hjerte, og en ny Ånd giver jeg i eders Indre; Stenhjertet tager jeg ud af eders Kød og giver eder et Kødhjerte.
27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Jeg giver min Ånd i eders Indre og virker, at I følger mine Vedtægter og tager Vare på at holde mine Lovbud,
28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
I skal bo i det Land, jeg gav eders Fædre, og I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Jeg frelser eder fra al eders Urenbed; jeg kalder Kornet frem og mangfoldiggør det og sender ikke mere Hungersnød over eder.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
Jeg mangfoldiggør Træernes Frugter og Markens Afgrøde, for at I ikke mere skal tage en Hungersnøds Skændsel på eder blandt Folkene.
31 Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Da skal I ihukomme eders onde Veje og eders Gerninger, som ikke var gode, og ledes ved eder selv over eders Misgerninger og Vederstyggeligheder.
32 Nor for your sake do I this," says Jehovah, "be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel."'
Ikke for eders Skyld griber jeg ind, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, det være eder kundgjort! Skam jer og blues over eders Veje, Israels Hus!
33 "Thus says Jehovah: 'In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Den Dag jeg renser eder for alle eders Misgerninger, lader jeg Byerne bebos, og Ruinerne skal genopbygges;
34 The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
det ødelagte Land skal dyrkes, i Stedet for at det har været en Ødemark for alles Øjne, som kom forbi.
35 They shall say, "This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited."
Da skal man sige: "Dette Land, som var ødelagt, er blevet som Edens Have, og Byerne, som var omstyrtet, ødelagt og nedrevet, er befæstet og beboet."
36 Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, Jehovah, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.'"
Og Folkene, der er tilhage rundt om eder, skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har opbygget de nedrevne Byer og tilplantet det ødelagte Land; jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
37 "Thus says Jehovah: 'For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Også dette vil jeg gøre for Israels Hus på deres Bøn: Jeg vil gøre dem mangfoldige som en Hjord af Mennesker;
38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
som en Hjord af Offerdyr, som Jerusalems Fårehjorde på dets Højtider skal de omstyrtede Byer blive fulde af Menneskehjorde; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
