Ezekiel 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Da kom HERRENs Ord til mig sååledes:
2 “You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
Mennesskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Jerusalem, lad din Tale strømme mod Helligdommen og profeter mod Israels Land!
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
Sig til Israels Land: Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig og drager mit Sværd af Skedn for at udrydde både retfærdige og gudløse af dig.
4 [what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
Fordi jeg vil udrydde både retfærdige og gudløse af dig, derfor skal mit Sværd fare af Skeden mod alt Kød fra Syd til Nord.
5 Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
Og alt Kød skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har draget mit Sværd at Skeden; det skal ikke vende tilbage!
6 Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
Men du, Menneskesøn, støn, støn for deres Øjne, som om dine Lænder skulde briste, i bitter Smerte!
7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
Og når de spørger: "Hvorfor stønner du?" så svar: "Over en Tidende; thi når den kommer, skal hvert Hjerte smelte, alle Hænder synke, hver Ånd sløves og alle Knæ flyde som Vand. Se, den kommer, den fuldbyrdes, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN."
8 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
9 “You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
Menneskesøn, profeter og sig: Så siger HERREN:
10 It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
Et Sværd, et Sværd er hvæsset og slebet blankt, hvæsset med Slagtning for Øje, blankt til at udsende Lyn..."
11 A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
Jeg gav en Slagter det, at han skal tage det fat; det er hvæsset og slebet for at gives en Drabsmand i Hænde,
12 [So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
Råb og vånd dig, Menneskesøn! Thi det kommet over mit Folk, over alle Israels Fyrster; sammen med mit Folk er de givet til Sværdet. Derfor slå dig på Hoften!
13 I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
14 So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
Og du, Menneskesøn, profeter og slå Hænderne sammen, gør Sværdet som to, ja, gør det som tre! Det er et dræbende Sværd, den store Hednings Sværd; indjag dem Rædsel dermed,
15 In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
at deres Hjerter må ængstes og mange må falde ved alle Porte. Jeg sætter dig til at slagte, du Sværd, som er gjort til at lyne, hvæsset til Slagtning.
16 Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
Indjag Rædsel både til højre og venstre, hvor din Od rettes hen!
17 Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
Også jeg vil slå Hænderne sammen og køle min Vrede. Jeg, HERREN, har talet!
18 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
19 “You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
Du, Menneskesøn, afsæt dig to Veje, ad hvilke Babels konges Sværd skal komme, således at begge udgår fra et og samme Land; og opstil en Vejviser der, hvor de to Byveje skilles,
20 [If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
så at Sværdet både kan komme til Rabba i Ammoniternes Land og til Juda og Jerusalem midt i Juda.
21 [When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
Thi Babels Konge står på Vejskellet, hvor de to Veje skilles, for at tage Varsler; han ryster Pilene", rådspørger Husguderne, ransager Leveren.
22 With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
I sin højre holder han Loddet "Jerusalem", at han skal åbne Munden til Skrig og løfte Røsten til Krigsråb, rejse Stormbukke mod Portene, opkaste Stormvold og bygge Belejringstårne.
23 The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
Ederne, svorne ved Gud, regnede de lige med falsk Spådom, men han bringer deres Brøde i Minde, for at de skal fanges.
24 Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I bringer eders Brøde i Minde, idet eders Overtrædelser åbenbares, så eders Synder bliver synlige i alt, hvad I gør, fordi I bringer eder i Minde ved dem, skal I fanges.
25 Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
Og du, gudløse Hedning, Israels Fyrste, hvis Time slår, når din Misgerning er fuldmoden,
26 And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
så siger den Herre HERREN: Bort med Hovedbindet, ned med kronen! Som det var, er det ikke mere! Op med det lave, ned med det høje!
27 [Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
Grushobe, Grushobe, Grushobe gør jeg det til. Ve det! Således skal det være, til han kommer, som har Retten til det; ham vil jeg give det.
28 “And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
Du, Menneskesøn, profeter således: Så siger den Herre HERREN om Ammoniterne og deres Hån! Og sig: Et Sværd, et Sværd er draget til at slagte hvæsset til at udsende Lyn,
29 [Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
medens man skuer dig Tomhed og spår dig Løgn, for at det skal lægges på de gudløse Hedningers Hals, hvis Time slår, når deres Misgerning er fuldmoden.
30 You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
Vend tilbage til din Borg! På det Sted, hvor du skabtes, i det Land, du stammer fra, vil jeg dømme dig.
31 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
Jeg vil udøse min Vrede over dig, blæse min Harmes Ild op imod dig og give dig i grumme Menneskers Hånd, som er Mestre i at tilintetgøre.
32 You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
Du skal blive Ildens Føde, dit Blod skal flyde i dit Land; du skal ikke kommes i Hu, thi jeg, HERREN, har talet.
