Ezekiel 34
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 “You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
Menneskesøn, profeter mod Israels Hyrder, profeter og sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Israels Hyrder, som røgtede sig selv! Skal Hyrderne ikke røgte Hjorden?
3 [It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
I fortærede Mælken, med Ulden klædte I eder, de fede Dyr slagtede I, men Hjorden røgtede I ikke;
4 You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
de svage Dyr styrkede I ikke, de syge lægte I ikke, de saarede forbandt I ikke, de adsplittede bragte I ikke tilbage, de vildfarende opsøgte I ikke, men I styrede dem med Haardhed og Grumhed.
5 So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
Derfor spredtes de, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr; ja, de spredtes.
6 My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
Min Hjord flakkede om paa alle Bjerge og paa hver en høj Banke, og over hele Jorden spredtes min Hjord, og ingen spurgte eller ledte efter dem.
7 Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
Derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENS Ord!
8 As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
Saa sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Fordi min Hjord blev til Rov, fordi min Hjord blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og Hyrderne ikke spurgte efter min Hjord, og fordi Hyrderne røgtede sig selv og ikke min Hjord,
9 Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENS Ord!
10 I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg, kommer over Hyrderne og kræver min Hjord af deres Haand, og jeg sætter dem fra at vogte min Hjord; Hyrderne skal ikke mere kunne røgte sig selv; jeg redder min Hjord af deres Gab, saa den ikke skal tjene dem til Æde.
11 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
Thi saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil selv spørge efter min Hjord og tage mig af den.
12 Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
Som en Hyrde tager sig af sin Hjord paa Stormvejrets Dag, saaledes tager jeg mig af min Hjord og redder den fra de Steder, hvorhen de spredtes paa Skyernes og Mulmets Dag;
13 I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
jeg fører dem bort fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra Landene og bringer dem til deres Land, og jeg, røgter dem paa Israels Bjerge, i Kløfterne og paa alle Landets beboede Steder.
14 [It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
Paa gode Græsgange vil jeg vogte dem, og paa Israels Bjerghøjder skal deres Græsmarker være; der skal de lejre sig paa gode Græsmarker, og i fede Græsgange skal de græsse paa Israels Bjerge.
15 I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
Jeg vil selv røgte min Hjord og selv lade dem lejre sig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
16 I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
De vildfarende Dyr vil jeg opsøge, de adsplittede vil jeg bringe tilbage, de saarede vil jeg forbinde de svage vil jeg styrke, og de fede og kraftige vil jeg vogte; jeg vil røgte dem, som det er ret.
17 And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
Og I, min Hjord! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil skifte. Ret mellem Faar og Faar, mellem Vædre og Bukke.
18 It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
Er det eder ikke nok at græsse paa den bedste Græsgang, siden I nedtramper, hvad der er levnet af eders Græsgange? Er det eder ikke nok at drikke det klare Vand, siden I med eders Fødder plumrer, hvad der er levnet?
19 [It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
Min Hjord maa græsse, hvad I har nedtrampet, og drikke, hvad I har plumret med eders Fødder!
20 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer for at skifte Ret mellem de fede og de magre Faar.
21 [who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
Fordi I med Side og Skulder skubbede alle de svage Dyr bort og stangede dem med eders Horn, til I fik dem drevet ud,
22 But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
derfor vil jeg hjælpe min Hjord, saa den ikke mere skal blive til Rov, og skifte Ret mellem Faar og Faar.
23 And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
Jeg sætter een Hyrde over dem, min Tjener David, og han skal vogte dem; han skal vogte dem, og han skal være deres Hyrde.
24 I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Og jeg, HERREN, vil være deres Gud, og min Tjener David skal være Fyrste iblandt dem, saa sandt jeg, HERREN, har talet.
25 I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
Jeg vil slutte en Fredspagt med dem og udrydde de vilde Dyr at Landet, saa de trygt kan bo i Ørkenen og sove i Skovene.
26 I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
Og jeg gør dem og Landet rundt om min Høj til Velsignelse, og jeg sender Regn i rette Tid, mine Byger skal blive til Velsignelse.
27 The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Markens Træer skal give deres Frugt og Landet sin Afgrøde; trygt skal de bo paa deres Jord, og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, naar jeg bryder Stængerne paa deres Aag og frelser dem af deres Haand, som gjorde dem til Trælle.
28 [Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
Ikke mere skal de blive til Rov for Folkene, og Landets vilde Dyr skal ikke æde dem; trygt skal de bo, uden at nogen skræmmer dem.
29 I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
Jeg lader en Fredens Plantning vokse op for dem, og ingen skal rives bort af Hunger i Landet, og de skal ikke mere bære Folkenes Haan.
30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
De skal kende, at jeg, HERREN deres Gud, er med dem, og at de er mit Folk, Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
31 [It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
I er min Hjord, I er den Hjord, jeg røgter, og jeg er eders Gud, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
