Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of YHWH was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of YHWH, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
HERRENS Haand kom over mig, og han førte mig i Aanden ud og satte mig midt i Dalen. Den var fuld af Ben;
2 And he led me walk all around among them. And look, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and look, they were very dry.
og han førte mig rundt omkring dem, og se, de laa i store Mængder ud over Dalen, og se, de var aldeles tørre.
3 And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "YHWH, you know."
Derpaa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn! kan disse Ben blive levende?« Jeg svarede: »Herre, HERRE, du ved det!«
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of YHWH.'
Saa sagde han til mig: Profetér over disse Ben og sig til dem: I tørre Ben, hør HERRENS Ord!
5 Thus says YHWH to these bones: 'Look, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
Saa siger den Herre HERREN til disse Ben: Se, jeg bringer Aand i eder, saa I bliver levende.
6 And I will put tendons on you, and make flesh grow on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am YHWH.'"
Jeg lægger Sener om eder, lader Kød vokse frem paa eder, overtrækker eder med Hud og indgiver eder Aand, saa I bliver levende; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a sound, and look, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Saa profeterede jeg, som mig var paalagt, og der hørtes en Lyd, da jeg profeterede, og se, der hørtes Raslen, og Benene nærmede sig hverandre.
8 And I watched, and look, there were tendons on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them. But there was no breath in them.
Og jeg skuede, og se, der kom Sener paa dem, Kød voksede frem, og de blev overtrukket med Hud, men der var ingen Aand i dem.
9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath, 'Thus says YHWH: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these corpses, that they may live.'"
Saa sagde han til mig: Profetér og tal til Aanden, profetér, du Menneskesøn, og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Aand, kom fra de fire Verdenshjørner og blæs paa disse dræbte, at de maa blive levende!
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Da profeterede jeg, som han bød mig, og Aanden kom i dem, og de blev levende og rejste sig paa deres Fødder, en saare, saare stor Hær.
11 Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they say, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are completely cut off.'
Derpaa sagde han til mig: Menneskesøn! Disse Ben er alt Israels Hus. Se, de siger: »Vore Ben er tørre, vort Haab er svundet, det er ude med os!«
12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: Look, I will open your graves and will raise you from your graves, my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel.
Profetér derfor og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg aabner eders Grave og fører eder ud af dem, mit Folk, og bringer eder til Israels Land;
13 And you will know that I am YHWH, when I have opened your graves and raise you up out of your graves, my people.
og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg aabner eders Grave og fører eder ud af dem, mit Folk.
14 And I will put my breath in you and you will live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I am YHWH; I have spoken it and I will do it,' says YHWH."
Jeg indgiver eder min Aand, saa I bliver levende, og jeg bosætter eder i eders Land; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN; jeg har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det, lyder det fra HERREN.
15 And the word of YHWH came again to me, saying,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
16 "And you, son of man, take one stick and write on it, 'For Judah, and the people of Israel associated with him.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.'
Du, Menneskesøn, tag dig et Stykke Træ og skriv derpaa: Juda og hans Medbrødre blandt Israeliterne! Tag saa et andet Stykke Træ og skriv derpaa: Josef — Efraims Træ — og hans Medbrødre, alt Israels Hus!
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
Føj dem saa sammen til eet Stykke, saa de bliver eet i din Haand.
18 And when your people ask you, saying, 'Will you not tell us what these things mean?'
Og naar saa dine Landsmænd siger til dig: »Vil du ikke sige os, hvad du mener dermed?«
19 tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them on it, that is, on the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick, and they will be one in my hand."'
sig saa til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg tager Josefs Træ, som var i Efraims Haand, og Israels Stammer, hans Medbrødre, og føjer dem til Judas Træ og gør dem til eet Stykke og de skal blive eet i Judas Haand.
20 And the sticks on which you write on will be in your hand in front of them.
Og Træstykkerne, du skrev paa, skal være i din Haand, saa de kan se dem.
21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says YHWH: Look, I am going to take the people of Israel from among the nations where they are gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them into their own land.
Tal saa til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg henter Israeliterne fra Folkene, til hvilke de vandrede hen, og samler dem alle Vegne fra og bringer dem til deres Land.
22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over them, and they will no longer be two nations, and no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
Jeg gør dem til eet Folk i Landet paa Israels Bjerge; og de skal alle have en og samme Konge og ikke mere være to Folk eller delt i to Riger.
23 And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all their unfaithfulness in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And will they be my people, and I will be their God.
De skal ikke mere gøre sig urene ved deres Afgudsbilleder og væmmelige Guder eller alle deres Overtrædelser, og jeg vil frelse dem fra alt deres Frafald, hvormed de forsyndede sig, og rense dem, og de skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
24 "'"And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one shepherd. And they will walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Min Tjener David skal være Konge over dem, og alle skal de have en og samme Hyrde. De skal følge mine Lovbud og holde mine Vedtægter og gøre efter dem.
25 And they will live in the land that I gave to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.
De skal bo i det Land, jeg gav min Tjener Jakob, der hvor deres Fædre boede; de skal bo der til evig Tid, de, deres Børn og Børnebørn; og min Tjener David skal være deres Fyrste evindelig.
26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will give to them and increase their numbers, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forever.
Jeg slutter en Fredspagt med dem, en evig Pagt skal det være; og jeg gør dem mangfoldige og sætter min Helligdom i deres Midte evindelig;
27 And my dwelling place will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
min Bolig skal være over dem; jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mit Folk.
28 Then the nations will know that I am YHWH who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forever."'"
Og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, som helliger Israel, naar min Helligdom bliver i deres Midte evindelig.
