Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

2 Son of man. prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, —and say unto them who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Yahweh,

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

3 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Alas for the base prophets, —who follow their own spirit and have seen, nothing.

Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Profeterne, de Dårer, som følger deres egen Ånd uden at have skuet noget!

4 As jackals, among ruins, thy prophets O Israel have been.

Dine Profeter, Israel, er som Sjakaler i Ruiner.

5 Ye have not gone up into the breaches, Nor built a wall about the house of Israel, - to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.

De stillede sig ikke i Murbruddet og byggede ikke en Mur om Israels Hus, så det kunde stå sig i Striden på HERRENs Dag.

6 They have had Visions of falsehood, and Divinations of lies, Who say. Declareth Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not sent them, — Yet have they waited for a fulfilling of the word.

De skuede Tomhed og spåede Løgn, idet de sagde: "Så lyder det fra HERREN! " uden at HERREN havde sendt dem, og dog ventede de Ordet stadfæstet,

7 Is it not a Vision of falsehood, ye have seen, and a Divination of lies, ye have spoken, Since ye are saying. Declareth Yahweh! when I have not spoken?

Var det ikke tomme Syner, I skuede, og Løgnespådomme, I fremsatte? Og I siger: "Så lyder det fra HERREN!" uden at jeg har talet.

8 Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye have spoken falsehood, And have had visions of lies, Therefore behold me! against you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

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

9 So then my hand shall be against the prophets who have Visions of falsehood and who divine Divinations of lies— In the council of my people, shall they not be found. And in the register of the house of Israel, shall they not be written, And Upon the so of Israel, shall they not enter, — So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh,

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

10 Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, —and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating it with whitewash

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

11 Say thou unto them who are coating with whitewash It shall fall, - There hath come an overflowing rain And I will make hail-stones fall, And a tempestuous wind shall break it down.

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

12 Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the coating, wherewith ye coated it?

og når så Væggen styrter sammen, vil man da ikke spørge eder: "Hvor er Kalken, I strøg på?"

13 Therefore Thus saith my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind. in mine indignation, — And an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones in wrath to make an end;

Derfor, så 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 And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash And will bring it unto the ground So shall be discovered its foundation, Yea it shall fall And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

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

15 Thus will I bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you No more is the wall, And no more are they who were coating it:

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

16 to wit the prophets of Israel who are prophesying unto Jerusalem, and are seeing, on her behalf, visions of prosperity, — when there is no prosperity, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

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

17 And thou, Son of man Set thy face against the daughters of thy people, Those who are prophesying out of their own heart, — And prophesy thou 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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, — the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls: , ye keep alive.

og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve dem, der syr Bind til alle Håndled 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 Thus have ye profaned me unto my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, Putting to death the souls that should not die, and Keeping alive the souls that should not live, — By your lying to my people, who hearken to lies

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

20 Therefore, Thus saith my Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against your oracle-cases wherewith ye are hunting the souls to make them fly, And I will tear them off your arms, And let go the souls of them whose souls ye are hunting as birds;

Derfor, så 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 And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted; - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

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

22 Because of the paining of the heart of the righteous man with falsehood, whom, I, have not pained, — And strengthening the hands of the lawless man, that he should not turn from his wicked way. by letting him live

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

23 Therefore—of falsehood: , shall ye have no vision, And a divination: , shall ye not divine any more, — So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.

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