Ezekiel 20

1 And it was - in the year seventh in the fifth [month] on the ten of the month they came men from [the] elders of Israel to consult Yahweh and they sat down before me.

I det syvende Aar paa den tiende Dag i den femte Maaned kom nogle af Israels Ældste for at raadspørge HERREN, og de satte sig lige over for mig.

2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

Saa kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:

3 O son of humankind speak with [the] elders of Israel and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ to consult me [are] you coming [by] [the] life of me if I will let myself be consulted by you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Menneskesøn, tal til Israels Ældste og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Kommer I for at raadspørge mig? Saa sandt jeg lever: Jeg lader mig ikke raadspørge af eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

4 ¿ Will you judge them ¿ will you judge O son of humankind [the] abominations of ancestors their make known to them.

Vil du dømme dem, vil du dømme, Menneskesøn? Saa forehold dem deres Fædres Vederstyggeligheder

5 And you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day chose I Israel and I lifted up hand my to [the] offspring of [the] house of Jacob and I made myself known to them in [the] land of Egypt and I lifted up hand my to them saying I [am] Yahweh God your.

og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Dengang jeg udvalgte Israel, løftede jeg min Haand til Ed for Jakobs Hus's Afkom og gav mig til Kende for dem i Ægypten; jeg løftede min Haand for dem og svor: Jeg er HERREN eders Gud.

6 On the day that I lifted up hand my to them to bring out them from [the] land of Egypt to a land which I had selected for them flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.

Dengang løftede jeg min Haand og tilsvor dem, at jeg vilde føre dem ud af Ægypten til Landet, jeg havde givet dem, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, det dejligste af alle Lande.

7 And I said to them everyone [the] detestable things of eyes his throw away and by [the] idols of Egypt may not you make yourselves unclean I [am] Yahweh God your.

Og jeg sagde til dem: Enhver skal bortkaste sine væmmelige Guder, som hans Øjne hænger ved; og I maa ikke gøre eder urene ved Ægyptens Afgudsbilleder. Jeg, HERREN, er eders Gud!

8 And they rebelled against me and not they were willing to listen to me anyone [the] detestable things of eyes their not they threw away and [the] idols of Egypt not they forsook and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in [the] midst of [the] land of Egypt.

Men de var genstridige imod mig og vilde ikke høre mig; de bortkastede ikke deres væmmelige Guder, som deres Øjne hang ved, og lod ikke Ægyptens Afgudsbilleder fare. Saa tænkte jeg paa at udøse min Vrede over dem og køle min Harme paa dem midt i Ægypten.

9 And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which they [were] in midst of them which I had made myself known to them to eyes their by bringing out them from [the] land of Egypt.

For mit Navns Skyld greb jeg dog ind, at det ikke skulde vanæres for de Folks Øjne, blandt hvilke de levede, og i hvis Paasyn jeg havde aabenbaret mig for dem, idet jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten.

10 And I brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and I brought them into the wilderness.

Saa førte jeg dem ud af Ægypten og bragte dem ud i Ørkenen;

11 And I gave to them statutes my and judgments my I made known to them which he will do them the person and he will live by them.

og jeg gav dem mine Anordninger og kundgjorde dem mine Lovbud; det Menneske, som gør efter dem, skal leve ved dem.

12 And also sabbaths my I gave to them to become a sign between me and between them to know that I [am] Yahweh [who] sanctified them.

Ogsaa mine Sabbater gav jeg dem, for at de skulde være et Tegn mellem mig og dem, at det skal kendes, at jeg, HERREN, er den, som helliger dem.

13 And they rebelled against me [the] house of Israel in the wilderness in statutes my not they walked and judgments my they rejected which he will do them the person and he will live by them and sabbaths my they profaned exceedingly and I said to pour out rage my on them in the wilderness to make an end of them.

Men Israels Hus var genstridigt imod mig i Ørkenen; de vandrede ikke efter mine Anordninger, men lod haant om mine Lovbud — det Menneske, som gør efter dem, skal leve ved dem — og mine Sabbater vanhelligede de grovelig. Saa tænkte jeg paa at udøse min Vrede over dem i Ørkenen og tilintetgøre dem.

14 And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I had brought out them to eyes their.

For mit Navns Skyld greb jeg dog ind, at det ikke skulde vanæres for de Folks Øjne, i hvis Paasyn jeg havde ført dem ud.

15 And also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to not to bring them into the land which I had given flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.

Og jeg løftede min Haand for dem i Ørkenen og svor, at jeg ikke vilde føre dem ind i det Land, jeg havde givet dem, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, det dejligste af alle Lande,

16 Because judgments my they had rejected and statutes my not they had walked in them and sabbaths my they had profaned for after idols their heart their [was] walking.

fordi de lod haant om mine Lovbud og ikke vandrede efter mine Anordninger, men vanhelligede mine Sabbater; thi deres Hjerte holdt sig til deres Afgudsbilleder.

17 And it looked with compassion eye my on them from destroying them and not I made them complete destruction in the wilderness.

Jeg havde Medlidenhed med dem, saa jeg ikke tilintetgjorde dem; jeg gjorde ikke Ende paa dem i Ørkenen.

18 And I said to children their in the wilderness in [the] statutes of ancestors your may not you walk and judgments their may not you keep and by idols their may not you make yourselves unclean.

Saa sagde jeg til deres Sønner i Ørkenen: Følg ikke eders Fædres Anordninger, hold ikke deres Lovbud og gør eder ikke urene med deres Afgudsbilleder.

19 I [am] Yahweh God your in statutes my walk and judgments my keep and do them.

Jeg, HERREN, er eders Gud! Følg mine Anordninger og tag Vare paa at holde mine Lovbud;

20 And sabbaths my keep holy and they will become a sign between me and between you to know that I [am] Yahweh God your.

hold mine Sabbater hellige, saa de bliver et Tegn mellem mig og eder, at det maa kendes, at jeg, HERREN, er eders Gud.

21 And they rebelled against me the children in statutes my not they walked and judgments my not they kept to observe them which he will do them the person and he will live by them sabbaths my they profaned and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in the wilderness.

Men ogsaa Sønnerne var genstridige imod mig; de fulgte ikke mine Anordninger og tog ikke Vare paa at holde mine Lovbud — det Menneske, som gør efter dem, skal leve ved dem — og vanhelligede mine Sabbater. Saa tænkte jeg paa at udøse min Harme over dem og køle min Vrede paa dem i Ørkenen.

22 And I turned back hand my and I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I brought out them to eyes their.

Dog holdt jeg min Haand tilbage, og jeg greb ind for mit Navns Skyld, at det ikke skulde vanæres for de Folks Øjne, i hvis Paasyn jeg havde ført dem ud.

23 Also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them among the lands.

Jeg løftede min Haand for dem i Ørkenen og svor, at jeg vilde sprede dem blandt Folkene og udstrø dem i Landene,

24 Because judgments my not they had done and statutes my they had rejected and sabbaths my they had profaned and after [the] idols of parents their they had been eyes their.

fordi de ikke holdt mine Lovbud, men lod haant om mine Anordninger og vanhelligede mine Sabbater, og deres Øjne hang ved deres Fædres Afgudsbilleder.

25 And also I I gave to them statutes not good and judgments [which] not they will live by them.

Derfor gav jeg dem Anordninger, som ikke er gode, og Lovbud ved hvilke de ikke vandt Liv;

26 And I made unclean them by gifts their when made pass through every firstborn of a womb so that I may make appalled them so that this they may know that I [am] Yahweh.

jeg gjorde dem urene ved deres Gaver, idet de lod alt hvad der aabner Moders Liv, gaa igennem Ilden; thi jeg vilde have dem til at stivne af Rædsel, at de maatte kende, at jeg er HERREN.

27 Therefore speak to [the] house of Israel O son of humankind and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this they blasphemed me ancestors your when acted unfaithfully they against me unfaithfulness.

Derfor, Menneskesøn, tal til Israels Hus og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Eders Fædre haanede mig ydermere ved at være troløse imod mig.

28 And I brought them into the land which I had lifted up hand my to give it to them and they saw every hill high and every tree leafy and they sacrificed there sacrifices their and they presented there [the] provocation of offering their and they made there [the] odor of soothing their and they poured out there drink offerings their.

Jeg bragte dem til det Land jeg med løftet Haand havde svoret at give dem; men hver Gang de saa en høj Bakke eller et løvrigt Træ ofrede de der deres Slagtofre og bragte deres krænkende Offergave; der beredte de deres liflige Duft og udgød deres Drikofre.

29 And I said to them what? [is] the high place where you [are] the [ones who] go there and it has been called name its Bamah until the day this.

Da sagde jeg til dem: »Hvad er det for en Offerhøj, I gaar hen til?« Og derfor bærer den endnu den Dag i Dag Navnet Offerhøj.

30 Therefore say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ in [the] way? of ancestors your [are] you making yourselves unclean and after detestable things their [are] you? acting as prostitutes.

Sig derfor til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Gør I eder ikke urene paa eders Fædres Vis og boler med deres væmmelige Guder?

31 And when lift up gifts your when make pass children your in the fire you [are] making yourselves unclean to all idols your until this day and I will I let myself be consulted? by you O house of Israel [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if I will let myself be consulted by you.

Ja, naar I bringer eders Gaver, naar I lader eders Sønner gaa igennem Ilden, gør I eder den Dag i Dag urene til Ære for alle eders Afgudsbilleder — og saa skulde jeg lade mig raadspørge af eder, Israels Hus? Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg lader mig ikke raadspørge af eder!

32 And the [thing which] comes up on spirit your certainly not it will happen [that] which - you [are] saying we will be like the nations like [the] clans of the lands to serve wood and stone.

Hvad der er kommet op i eders Sind, skal visselig ikke ske; I siger: »Vi vil være som Folkene, som Slægterne i andre Lande og dyrke Træ og Sten!«

33 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out I will reign over you.

Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Med stærk Haand og udstrakt Arm og udøst Vrede vil jeg vise, at jeg er eders Konge.

34 And I will bring out you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out.

Med stærk Haand og udstrakt Arm og udøst Vrede vil jeg føre eder bort fra Folkeslagene og samle eder fra de Lande, hvor I er spredt,

35 And I will bring you into [the] wilderness of the peoples and I will enter into judgment with you there face to face.

og bringe eder til Folkeslagenes Ørken, og der vil jeg gaa i Rette med eder Ansigt til Ansigt.

36 Just as I entered into judgment with ancestors your in [the] wilderness of [the] land of Egypt so I will enter into judgment with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Som jeg gik i Rette med eders Fædre i Ægyptens Ørken, vil jeg gaa i Rette med eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

37 And I will make pass you under the rod and I will bring you in [the] bond of the covenant.

Jeg vil lade eder gaa under Staven og føre eder fuldtalligt frem.

38 And I will purge from you those [who] rebel and those [who] transgress against me from [the] land of sojournings their I will bring out them and into [the] land of Israel not he will go and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

Jeg vil fraskille dem, der var genstridige og faldt fra mig; jeg fører dem ud af deres Udlændigheds Land, men til Israels Land skal de ikke komme; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

39 And you O house of Israel thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh everyone idols his go serve and after if not you [will be] listening to me and [the] name of holiness my not you will profane again by gifts your and by idols your.

Men I, Israels Hus! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Gaa hen og dyrk hver sit Afgudsbillede, men siden skal I visselig høre min Røst og ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn med eders Offergaver og Afgudsbilleder.

40 For on [the] mountain of holiness my on [the] mountain of - [the] height of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh there they will serve me all [the] house of Israel all of it in the land there I will accept them and there I will seek contributions your and [the] choicest of gifts your with all holy things your.

Thi paa mit hellige Bjerg, paa Israels høje Bjerg, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, der skal hele Israels Hus i Landet tjene mig; der vil jeg vise dem mit Velbehag, og der vil jeg spørge efter eders Offerydelser og Førstegrødegaver, alt, hvad I vil hellige.

41 An odor of soothing I will accept you when bring out I you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will show myself holy among you to [the] eyes of the nations.

Ved den liflige Duft vil jeg vise eder mit Velbehag, naar jeg fører eder ud fra Folkeslagene og samler eder fra alle de Lande, hvor I er spredt, og jeg vil paa eder vise mig som den Hellige for Folkenes Øjne.

42 And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when bring I you into [the] land of Israel into the land which I lifted up hand my to give it to ancestors your.

Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg fører eder til Israels Jord, det Land, jeg med løftet Haand svor at give eders Fædre.

43 And you will remember there ways your and all practices your which you have made yourselves unclean by them and you will loathe faces your for all wicked deeds your which you have done.

Der skal I ihukomme eders Veje og alle de Gerninger, I gjorde eder urene med, saa I ledes ved eder selv for alt det onde, I øvede.

44 And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when do I with you for [the] sake of name my not according to ways your wicked and according to practices your corrupt O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg gør saaledes med eder for mit Navns Skyld, ikke efter eders onde Veje og skændige Gerninger, Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

45 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

46 O son of humankind set face your [the] direction south-ward and prophesy against [the] south and prophesy against [the] forest of the field [the] south.

Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Sønden og lad din Tale strømme sønderpaa og profeter mod Sydlandets Skov!

47 And you will say to [the] forest of the south hear [the] word of Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to kindle in you - a fire and it will consume in you every tree moist and every tree dry not it will be extinguished [the] flame of flame and they will be scorched by it all faces from [the] south [the] north towards.

Sig til Sydlandets Skov: Hør HERRENS Ord! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg sætter Ild paa dig, og den skal fortære alle Træer i dig, baade friske og tørre; den luende Ild skal ikke slukkes, og alle Ansigter skal svides fra Syd til Nord.

48 And they will see all flesh that I Yahweh I have kindled it not it will be extinguished.

Og alt Kød skal se, at jeg, HERREN, har tændt den; den skal ikke slukkes!

49 And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh they [are] saying of me ¿ not making a parable parables [is] he.

Da sagde jeg: »Ak, Herre, HERRE, de siger om mig, at jeg altid taler i Lignelser!«
