Ezekiel 14
1 Now certain men of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
Og der kom Mænd af Israels Ældste til mig og sade for mit Ansigt.
2 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face; shall I hear them when they inquire of me?
Du Menneskesøn! disse Mænd have givet deres Afguder Plads i deres Hjerte, og hvad der var dem Anstød til at synde, have de stillet for deres Ansigt; skulde jeg vel lade mig adspørge for dem?
4 Therefore speak with them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, —I, Jehovah, will answer him according to the multitude of his idols;
Derfor tal med dem, og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Enhver Mand af Israels Hus, som giver sine Afguder Plads i sit Hjerte og stiller, hvad der var ham Anstød til at synde, for sit Ansigt og saa kommer til Profeten: For ham vil jeg, Herren, lade mig bringe til at svare desangaaende, nemlig angaaende hans Afguders Mangfoldighed,
5 that I may lay hold of the house of Israel in their hearts, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
for at jeg kan gribe Israels Hus ved deres Hjerte, fordi de vege fra mig alle sammen ved deres Afguder.
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye, even turn yourselves from your idols, and from all your abominations turn ye your faces!
Derfor sig til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Omvender eder, og vender eder bort fra eders Afguder, ja, vender eders Ansigter bort fra alle eders Vederstyggeligheder!
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me through him, —I, Jehovah, will answer him by myself.
Thi naar en Mand af Israels Hus eller af de fremmede, som opholde sig i Israel, skiller sig fra mig og giver sine Afguder Plads i sit Hjerte og stiller, hvad der var ham Anstød til at synde, for sit Ansigt og saa kommer til Profeten for at adspørge mig for sig: Ham vil jeg, Herren, lade mig bringe til at give et Svar fra mig selv.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Og jeg vil rette mit Ansigt imod denne Mand og ødelægge ham, at han bliver til et Tegn og til et Ordsprog, og jeg vil udrydde ham af mit Folks Midte; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
9 And when the prophet is deceived when he speaketh anything, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Men naar Profeten lader sig overtale og taler noget, da har jeg, Herren, ladet denne Profet overtales; og jeg vil udrække min Haand over ham og ødelægge ham ud af mit Folk Israels Midte.
10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that inquireth of him;
Og de skulle bære deres Misgerning; som hans Misgerning er, der adspørger, saa skal Profetens Misgerning være,
11 that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
for at de af Israels Hus ikke mere skulle fare vild fra mig ej heller besmitte sig mere med nogen af deres Overtrædelser; men de skulle være mit Folk, og jeg skal være deres Gud, siger den Herre, Herre.
12 Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
13 Son of man, when a land sinneth against me, and grievously transgresseth, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
Du Menneskesøn! naar et Land synder imod mig, saa at det bliver troløst imod mig, og jeg udrækker min Haand over det og formindsker Brøds Forraad for det, og jeg sender Hunger i det og udrydder Menneske og Fæ deraf,
14 though these three men were in it, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
men der var disse tre Mænd, Noa, Daniel Og Job derudi: Da skulde disse alene redde deres Sjæl ved deres Retfærdighed, siger den Herre, Herre.
15 When I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, and it be desolate so that none passeth through it because of the beasts,
Naatr jeg lader vilde Dyr gaa igennem Landet, og de berøve Folk deres Børn, og det blev øde, saa at ingen gaar der igennem for Dyrenes Skyld,
16 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.
men hine tre Mænd vare derudi, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: De skulde hverken redde Sønner eller Døtre; de selv alene skulde reddes, men Landet vorde øde.
17 Or when I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land so that I cut off from it man and beast,
Eller naar jeg lader Sværdet komme over det samme Land, og jeg siger: Sværd! du skal fare igennem Landet, og jeg udrydder Menneske og Fæ deraf,
18 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.
men hine tre Mænd vare derudi, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: De skulde ikke redde Sønner eller Døtre; men de alene skulde reddes.
19 Or when I send a pestilence upon that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
Eller naar jeg sender Pest i det samme Land og udøser min Harme over det med Blod, saa at jeg udrydder Menneske og Fæ deraf,
20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness.
men Noa, Daniel og Job vare derudi, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: De skulde hverken redde Søn eller Datter; men de skulde redde deres egen Sjæl ved deres Retfærdighed.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more, when I send my four grievous judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: Meget mere, naar jeg sender mine fire grumme Straffedomme over Jerusalem, nemlig: Sværd og Hunger og vilde Dyr og Pest for at udrydde Menneske og Fæ deraf,
22 Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings, and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all which I have brought upon her.
og se, der bliver nogle undkomne tilovers, som bortføres, Sønner og Døtre: Se, de skulle gaa ud til eder, og I skulle se deres Vej og deres Gerninger; og I skulle trøste eder over den Ulykke, som jeg lod komme over Jerusalem, ja, alt det, som jeg lod komme over den.
23 They shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings; and ye shall know that not without cause I have done all that I have done to her, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Og de skulle trøste eder, naar I se deres Vej og deres Gerninger; og I skulle erkende, at jeg intet har gjort uden Grund af alt det, som jeg gjorde derudi, siger den Herre, Herre.
