< Ezekiel 37 >
1 The hand of Yahweh, being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain, —and the same 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 caused me to pass near them. round about on every side, —and lo! they were very many on the face of the plain, and lo! 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 Then said he unto me, Son of man. Can these bones, live? And I said My Lord Yahweh, thou, knowest!
Derpaa sagde han til mig: »Menneskesøn! kan disse Ben blive levende?« Jeg svarede: »Herre, HERRE, du ved det!«
4 Then said he unto me, Prophesy, over these bones, —and thou shalt say unto them, Ye bones so dry! hear ye the word of Yahweh!
Saa sagde han til mig: Profetér over disse Ben og sig til dem: I tørre Ben, hør HERRENS Ord!
5 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Unto these bones, — Lo! I am about to bring into you— spirit, and ye shall live;
Saa siger den Herre HERREN til disse Ben: Se, jeg bringer Aand i eder, saa I bliver levende.
6 Yea I will lay upon you—sinews, And bring up over you flesh. And cover over you—skin, And put in you—spirit And ye shall live, Then shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.
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 And when I prophesied as I was commanded, then was there a noise, as I prophesied and lo! a rattling, and the bones came near, each bone unto its own 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 when I looked, then lo! upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and there had spread over them skin above, but spirit, was there none within 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 said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit, Prophesy, Son of man. and thou shalt say unto the spirit. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh- From the four winds, come thou, O spirit, And breathe into these slain 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 And when I prophesied as he commanded me, then came into them the spirit, and they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceeding 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 said he unto me, Son of man. These bones, are all the house of Israel, — Lo! they are saying. Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope We are quite 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 thou shalt say unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo I myself am going to open your graves And will cause you to come up out of your graves. O my people, — And will bring you upon the soil 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 So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, — When I open your graves. And cause you to come up out of your graves O 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 spirit within you and ye shall live, And I will settle you upon your own soil, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh have spoken and have performed. Declareth Yahweh.
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 Yahweh came unto me saying:
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
16 Thou therefore Son of man Take thee one stick, and write upon it For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions, Then take thou another stick, and write upon it For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel his companions.
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 bring them near—the one to the other —for thee into one stick, - And they shall become united in thy hand.
Føj dem saa sammen til eet Stykke, saa de bliver eet i din Haand.
18 And when the sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, - Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to thee?
Og naar saa dine Landsmænd siger til dig: »Vil du ikke sige os, hvad du mener dermed?«
19 speak unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I, myself, am going to take the stick of Joseph. which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions, — And I will place them upon it even upon the stick of Judah. And will make of them one stick, And they shall become 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 whereon thou shalt write shall remain in thy hand before their eyes.
Og Træstykkerne, du skrev paa, skal være i din Haand, saa de kan se dem.
21 Therefore speak thou unto them Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I myself, am going to take the sons of Israel, from among the nations whither they have gone, — And I will gather them from every side, And will bring them in upon their own soil;
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 will make of them one nation in the land. among the mountains of Israel, And one king, shall they all have for king, —And they shall remain no longer two nations, Nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more.
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 Neither shall they defile themselves any more With their manufactured gods or With their detestable things, or With any of their transgressions, - But I will save them out of all their dwelling- places, wherein they have sinned, And I will cleanse them And they shall become my people, And I, will become 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 shall be king over them, And one shepherd, shall they all have, And in my regulations, shall they walk, And my statutes, shall they observe 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 shall dwell upon the land. which I gave to my servant- to Jacob, Wherein your fathers dwelt, — Yea they shall dwell thereupon. They, and their children and their children’s children Unto times age-abiding, And David my servant shall be prince unto them Unto times age-abiding.
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 solemnise to them a covenant of prosperity, A covenant age-abiding, shall it be with them, — And I will place them. And multiply them, And set my sanctuary in the midst of them. Unto times age-abiding.
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 habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God, - And they, shall become my people,
min Bolig skal være over dem; jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mit Folk.
28 So shall the nations know that I, Yahweh, am hallowing Israel, - When my sanctuary is in the midst of them Unto times age-abiding.
Og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, som helliger Israel, naar min Helligdom bliver i deres Midte evindelig.
