Ezekiel 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Då kom Herrens ord til meg; han sagde:
2 “You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
Menneskjeson! Snu di åsyn mot Jerusalem og preika mot heilagdomarne og spå mot Israelslandet!
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
Og du skal segja til Israelslandet: So segjer Herren: Sjå, eg skal finna deg og draga sverdet utor slira og rydja ut or deg rettferdige og ugudleg.
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.
Sidan eg vil rydja ut or deg rettferdig og ugudleg, so skal sverdet mitt fara utor slira mot alt kjøt frå sud 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 kjøt skal sanna at eg, Herren, hev drege sverdet mitt or slira, det vert innatt-stunge.
6 Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
Og du, menneskjeson, sukka! Du skal sukka framfor augo deira so det knakar i dine lender - i såran sut.
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 dei då segjer med deg: «Kvifor sukkar du?» då skal du segja: «For ei fretnad; for han kjem. Då vil kvart eit hjarta bråna og alle hender siga, og kvar ei ånd dovna og alle kne verta som vatn. Sjå, det kjem, og det hender, segjer Herren, Herren.»
8 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
Og Herrens ord kom til meg; han sagde:
9 “You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
Menneskjeson! Spå og seg: So segjer Herren: Seg: Eit sverd, eit sverd, kvest, ja, blenkt og.
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.
Til å halda slagting med er det kvest, og til å blikta som eldingen er det blenkt. Eller skulde me fegnast, du min sons ætt, som vanvyrder alt tre?
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.
Og han let det blenkjast til eit handyvle; dette sverdet er kvest og blenkt, med det er etla åt dråpsmanns hand.
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].
Ropa og barma deg, menneskjeson! For det er åt mitt folk, det er åt alle fyrstar i Israel; etla åt sverdet er dei med mitt folk. Difor, slå deg på lendi!
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.
For prøva er komi, og kven skulde ho råka, um ikkje den ætti som vanvyrder tukt? segjer Herren, 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, menneskjeson! Spå og slå i hop henderne! Tvifelt, ja trifelt kjem sverdet: sverdet til å stinga menner, sverd til å stinga den store, det møter deim alle stader.
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.
Til eit bliktande sverd sette eg det imot alle portarne deira, so hjarto skal bråna og støytesteinarne verta mange. Å, det er gjort til å ljona, kvest til å slagta med.
16 Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
Tak deg på tak, sverd, hogg til høgre! Snu deg, hogg til vinstre! Kvar so eggi di snur!
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.’”
Då skal eg og slå i hop henderne mine og svala min harm. Eg, Herren, hev tala.
18 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Og Herrens ord kom til meg; han sagde:
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.
Og du, menneskjeson! Gjer deg tvo vegar som sverdet åt Babel-kongen kann fara fram på! Frå eitt land skal dei ganga ut båe. Laga so til ein vegvisar, laga honom til der vegarne tek av til kvar ein by!
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.
Du skal gjera ein veg som sverdet kann fara fram på til Rabba åt Ammons-sønerne, og ein til Juda, inn i Jerusalem, borgbyen.
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].
For Babel-kongen stend attmed vegemotet, der som båe vegarne tek til, og driv på med spaning; han rister pilerne, spør husgudarne, skodar på livri.
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 høgre handi fær han luten «Jerusalem», at han skal setja upp murstangarar, lata upp munnen med tynar-rop, lata herrop ljoma, setja upp murstangarar mot portarne, kasta upp umlægringsvoll, byggja åtaksmurar.
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.
Men dei tykkjer det er berre fåfengd spådom; dei hev då lovnadseidar i mengd. Men han minner um misgjerning, so dei skal verta tekne.
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].’
Difor, so segjer Herren, Herren: Etter di de hev drege dykkar misgjerning fram or gløymsla, med di dykkar brot vert openberra, so dykkar syndar vert synberre i alle dykkar verk - etter di de kjem fram or gløymsla, skal de verta tekne med handi.
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 vanheilage gudløysing, Israels fyrste, din dag er komen når misgjerningi ein gong lyt enda.
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.
So segjer Herren, Herren: Tak huva av, lyft kruna ned! Det som er, skal ikkje vera; det låge skal upp, det høge skal ned.
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].’”
I koll, i koll, i koll vil eg støyta det; det skal ikkje vera gjort med det heller - til dess han kjem som retten hev, han som eg vil gjeva 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.
Og, du menneskjeson, spå og seg: So segjer Herren, Herren um Ammons-sønerne og um deira svivyrding: Og du skal segja: Eit sverd, eit sverd er drege, blenkt til å slagta med, til å tyna, til å ljona,
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].
medan dei ser fåfengde syner og spår deg lygn, so du kann verta lagd attmed halsarne åt daudedømde gudløysingar som dagen er komen åt, når misgjerningi ein gong lyt enda.
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.
Stikk i slira ditt sverd! På den staden der du er skapt, i det landet du er ætta ifrå, vil eg døma deg.
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.
Eg vil renna utyver deg min harm, min vreideloge vil eg blåsa imot deg og gjeva deg i henderne på villmenner, meistrar i tynarverk.
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.” '”
Elden skal øyda deg, ditt blod skal verta utrent midt i landet, ingen skal koma deg i meir hug; for eg, Herren, hev tala.
