Ezekiel 22
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
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.
Du Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Blodbyen? Saa forehold 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 sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Byen, der udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Time skal komme, og laver sig Afgudsbilleder for at gøre sig uren.
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].
Ved dine egne Folks Blod, som du har udgydt, har du paadraget dig Skyld, og ved de Afgudsbilleder du har lavet, er du blevet uren; du har bragt din Time nær og hidført dine Aars Frist. Derfor gør jeg dig til Haan for Folkene og til Spot for alle Lande;
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.
fra nær og fjern skal man spotte dig, du, hvis Navn er skændet, og som er fuld af Larm.
6 Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
Se, Israels Fyrster optræder hver og een egenmægtigt i dig og udøser Blod.
7 Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
Fader og Moder ringeagtes, den fremmede undertrykkes i dig, den faderløse og Enken lider Uret.
8 You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
Mine hellige Ting agter du ringe og vanhelliger 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.
Du har Æreskændere i din Midte, som bagtaler, saa der udøses Blod, og Folk, som spiser paa Bjergene. Utugt gaar i Svang 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.
i dig blottes Faderens Skam, og Kvinder krænkes i deres Urenheds Tid.
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.
Man øver Vederstyggelighed mod sin Næstes Hustru, man gør sin Sønnekone uren ved Utugt, man skænder i dig sin kødelige Søster.
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.
I dig tager man Gave for at udøse Blod; du tager Aager og Opgæld, voldelig øver du Svig mod din Næste; og mig glemmer du, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
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.
Men se, jeg slaar Hænderne sammen over den uredelige Vinding, du har skaffet dig, og over det Blod, der er udøst i dig.
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.
Kan dit Hjerte holde Stand, kan dine Hænder være faste i de Dage, da jeg tager fat paa dig? Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
15 I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
Jeg vil sprede dig blandt Folkene og udstrø dig i Landene og tage 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].’”
jeg vil lade mig vanære ved dig for Folkenes Øjne; og du skal kende, 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.
Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de er alle blevet Kobber, Tin, Jern og Bly i Smelteovnen; Sølvslagger er de blevet.
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 HERREN: Fordi I alle er blevet til Slagger, derfor vil jeg samle eder 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.
som man samler Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Bly og Tin i en Smelteovn og blæser til Ilden for at smelte det, saaledes vil jeg i min Vrede og Harme samle eder og kaste 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,
jeg vil samle eder og blæse min Vredes Ild op imod eder, saa I smeltes deri.
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.”
Som Sølv smeltes i Smelteovnen, skal I smeltes deri; og I skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, har udøst min Vrede over eder.
23 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Og HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
24 “You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
Menneskesøn, sig til Landet: Du er et Land, der ikke faar Regn og Byger 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].
hvis Fyrster er som brølende Løver paa Rov; de tilintetgør Sjæle, tilriver sig Gods og Guld, gør mange til Enker deri.
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.
Præsterne øver Vold mod min Lov, vanhelliger mine hellige Ting og gør ikke Skel mellem det, der er helligt, og det, der ikke er helligt, lærer ikke Forskel mellem rent og urent og lukker Øjnene for mine Sabbater, saa jeg er blevet vanhelliget 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.
Fyrsterne er som Ulve paa Rov: de er ivrige efter at udøse Blod og tilintetgøre Menneskeliv for at skaffe 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.
Profeterne stryger over med Kalk, idet de skuer Tomhed og varsler Løgn og siger: »Saa siger den Herre HERREN!« uden at HERREN har talet.
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].
Det menige Folk øver Vold og gaar paa Rov, den arme og fattige gør de Uret, og den fremmede undertrykker de imod Lov og 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.
Jeg søgte iblandt dem efter en, der vilde bygge en Mur og stille sig i Gabet for mit Aasyn 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, med min Harmes Ild tilintetgør jeg dem; deres Færd lader jeg komme over deres Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
