Ezekiel 22
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
Og du Menneskesøn! vil du dømme, vil du dømme den blodskyldige Stad? ja, kundgør den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder!
3 [Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
Og du skal sige: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Det er en Stad, som udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Tid skal komme, og som gør sig Afguder til at besmitte sig ved.
4 You have become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
Du er bleven skyldig ved dit Blod, som du har udøst, og har besmittet dig med de Afguder, som du har gjort, saa at du bragte dine Dage til at nærme sig og naaede dine Aar: Derfor har jeg gjort dig til Forhaanelse iblandt Hedningerne og til Spot for alle Landene.
5 People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
Baade de, som ere nær, og de, som ere langt fra dig, skulle spotte dig, du med det besmittede Navn og med den store Forstyrrelse!
6 Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
Se, Israels Fyrster, hver efter sin Arms Styrke, vare hos dig for at udøse Blod.
7 Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
Man ringeagtede Fader og Moder hos dig, man handlede med Vold imod den fremmede i din Midte, man forfordelte den faderløse og Enken hos dig.
8 You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
Du foragtede mine Helligdomme og vanhelligede mine Sabbater.
9 Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
Bagvadskere var der hos dig, paa det de kunde udøse Blod; og man holdt Maaltid paa Bjergene hos dig, man gjorde skændige Ting i din Midte.
10 There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
Man har blottet en Faders Blusel hos dig; man har krænket Kvinden i hendes Svaghed hos dig.
11 There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
Og man har bedrevet Vederstyggelighed med sin Næstes Hustru, og man har vanæret sin Sønnekone med Skændsel, og man har krænket sin Søster, sin Faders Datter, hos dig.
12 There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
De toge Skænk hos dig for at udøse Blod; du tog Aager og Overgivt og forfordelte din Næste ved Undertrykkelse, men mig glemte du, siger den Herre, Herre.
13 So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
Og se, jeg har slaaet mine Hænder sammen over din Vinding, som du har gjort dig, og for din Blodskyld, som er i din Midte.
14 When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
Mon dit Hjerte skal kunne holde Stand? mon dine Hænder skulle beholde Styrke paa de Dage, naar jeg vil handle med dig? jeg, Herren, jeg har talt det og vil gøre det.
15 I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
Og jeg vil adsprede dig iblandt Hedningerne og strø dig over Landene og bortskaffe din Urenhed fra dig,
16 When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Og du skal være vanhelliget ved dig selv for Hedningernes Øjne og fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
17 Yahweh [also] said to me,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
18 “You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
Du Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de ere alle Kobber og Tin og Jern og Bly midt i en Ovn, Sølvslagger ere de blevne.
19 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre, Herre, fordi I alle ere blevne til Slagger, derfor se, jeg vil samle eder midt i Jerusalem.
20 People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting you.
Ligesom man samler Sølv og Kobber og Jern og Bly og Tin midt i en Ovn for at oppuste Ild derover, til at smelte det: Saaledes vil jeg samle eder i min Vrede og i min Harme og lægge eder ind og smelte eder.
21 [It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
Ja, jeg vil samle eder og oppuste min Vredes Ild over eder, og I skulle smeltes derinde.
22 as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] on you.”
Ligesom Sølv smeltes midt i en Ovn, saa skulle I smeltes i dens Midte, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg, Herren, jeg har udøst min Harme over eder.
23 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
24 “You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
Du Menneskesøn! sig til det: Du er et Land, som ikke er renset, som ikke har faaet Regn paa Vredens Dag.
25 Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
Dets Profeter have sammensvoret sig i dets Midte, de ere som en brølende Løve, der røver Rov; de fortære Sjæle, tage Gods og dyrebare Ting, gøre mange til Enker derudi.
26 Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
Dets Præster forgribe sig paa min Lov og vanhellige mine Helligdomme, de gøre ingen Forskel imellem helligt og vanhelligt, og Forskellen imellem rent og urent gøre de ikke bekendt; og de lukke deres Øjne for mine Sabbater, og jeg vanhelliges midt iblandt dem.
27 Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
Dets Fyrster i dets Midte ere som Ulve, der røve Rov, saa at de udøse Blod, ødelægge Sjæle for at gøre sig Vinding.
28 Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
Og dets Profeter anstryge dem med løs Kalk, idet de bringe dem forfængelige Syner og spaa Løgn for dem, sigende: „Saa siger den Herre, Herre‟; skønt Herren ikke har talt.
29 The Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
Folket i Landet undertrykke de ved Vold, de røve Rov og forfordele den elendige og fattige og undertrykke den fremmede tværtimod Ret.
30 I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
Og jeg ledte efter en Mand iblandt dem, som vilde gærde et Gærde og staa i Gabet for mit Ansigt til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
31 So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, jeg gør Ende paa dem i min Fortørnelses Ild; jeg lader deres Vej falde tilbage paa deres Hoved, siger den Herre, Herre.
