Ezekiel 11

1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of Yahweh's house, facing east, and behold, in the doorway of the gate there were twenty-five men. I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people, among them.

Så løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig til Herrens huses østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg så iblandt dem Jaazanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.

2 God said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who decide wicked plans in this city.

Og han sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser på Uret og lægger onde Råd op i denne By,

3 They are saying, 'The time to build houses is not now; this city is the pot, and we are the meat.'

idet de siger: "Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!"

4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”

Profeter derfor imod dem, profeter, Menneskesøn!

5 Then the Spirit of Yahweh fell on me and he said for me to say: This is what Yahweh says, “That is what you are saying, house of Israel; for I know what goes through your mind.

Så faldt HERRENs Ånd på mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Så siger HERREN: Således taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Ånd.

6 You have multiplied the people you have killed in this city and filled its streets with them.

Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.

7 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: The people you have killed, whose bodies you have laid in the midst of Jerusalem, are the meat, and this city is the pot. But you are going to be brought out from the midst of this city.

Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: De, som I dræbte og henslængte i dens Midte, de er Kødet, og Byen er Gryden; men eder vil jeg føre ud af den.

8 You have feared the sword, so I am bringing the sword upon you—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.

I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

9 I will bring you out of the midst of the city, and put you into the hands of foreigners, for I will bring judgment against you.

Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Hånd, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.

10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel so you will know that I am Yahweh.

For Sværd skal I falde; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder. Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

11 This city will not be your cooking pot, nor will you be the meat within her midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.

Byen skal ikke være eder en Gryde, og I skal ikke være Kødet deri; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder.

12 Then you will know that I am Yahweh, the one whose statutes you have not walked in and whose decrees you have not carried out. Instead, you have carried out the decrees of the nations that surround you.”

Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, hvis Vedtægter I ikke fulgte, og hvis Lovbud I ikke levede efter, hvorimod I levede efter eders Nabofolks Lovbud. -

13 It came about that as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah, died. So I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?”

Men medens jeg profeterede således, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt og råbte med høj Røst: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?"

14 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Så kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:

15 “Son of man, your brothers! Your brothers! The men of your clan and all the house of Israel! All of them are those of whom it is said by those living in Jerusalem, 'They are far away from Yahweh! This land was given to us as our possession.'

Menneskesøn! Dine Brødre, dine Medfanger og alt Israels Hus, alle de, om hvem Jerusalems Indbyggere siger: "De er langt borte fra HERREN, os er Landet givet i Eje!" -

16 Therefore say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Though I have removed them far off among the nations, and though I have scattered them among the lands, yet I have been a sanctuary for them for a little while in the lands where they have gone.'

derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Måde var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.

17 Therefore say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you from the lands where you were scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.'

Men derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil samle eder sammen fra Folkeslagene og sanke eder op i Landene, hvor I er spredt, og give eder Israels Jord.

18 Then they will go there and remove every detestable thing and every abomination from that place.

Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;

19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take out the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,

jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Ånd; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,

20 so that they will walk in my statutes, they will carry out my decrees and do them. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.

for at de må følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Så skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.

21 But to those who walk with affection toward their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their conduct on their own heads—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”

Men hines Hjerter holder sig til deres væmmelige Guder og deres Vederstyggeligheder; dem gengælder jeg deres Færd, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

22 The cherubim lifted up their wings and the wheels that were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high up over them.

Så løftede keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.

23 Then the glory of Yahweh went up from within the midst of the city and stood on the mountain to the east of the city.

Og HERRENs Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig på Bjerget østen for.

24 The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into Chaldea, to the exiles, in the vision from the Spirit of God, and the vision that I had seen went up from upon me.

Derpå løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Ånd i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.

25 Then I declared to the exiles all the things of Yahweh that I had seen.

Så kundgjorde jeg de landflyggige alle de Ord, HERREN havde åbenbaret mig.
