Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “Son of man, what you have found, eat. Eat this scroll, then go speak to the house of Israel.”
Så sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, slug hvad du her har for dig, slug denne Bogrulle og gå så hen og tal til Israels Hus!"
2 So I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
Så åbnede jeg Munden, og han lod mig sluge Bogrullen
3 He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I have given to you!” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
og sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Lad din Bug fortære den Bogrulle, jeg her giver dig, og fyld dine Indvolde dermed!" Og jeg slugte den, og den var sød som Honning i min Mund.
4 Then he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.
Så sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, gå til Israels Hus og tal mine Ord til dem!
5 For you are not being sent to a people of strange speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
Thi du sendes til Israels Folk, ikke til et Folk med dybt Mål og tungt Mæle,
6 not to many peoples of strange speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
ikke til mange Hånde Folkeslag med dybt Mål og tungt Mæle, hvis Tale du ikke fatter, hvis jeg sendte dig til dem, vilde de høre dig.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me. So all the house of Israel is strong browed and hard hearted.
Men Israels Hus vil ikke høre dig, thi de vil ikke høre mig; thi hele Israels Hus har hårde Pander og stive Hjerter.
8 Behold! I have made your face as stubborn as their faces and your brow as hard as their brows.
Se, jeg gør dit Ansigt hårdt som deres Ansigter og din Pande hård som deres Pander;
9 I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint! Do not fear them or be discouraged by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.”
som Diamant, hårdere end Flint gør jeg din Pande. Frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt!"
10 Then he said to me, “Son of man, all the words that I announce to you—take them into your heart and hear them with your ears!
Videre sagde han til mig: "Menneskesøn, alle mine Ord, som jeg taler til dig, skal du optage i dit Hjerte og høre med dine Ører;
11 Then go to the captives, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says,' whether they will listen or not.”
og gå så hen til dine landflygtige Landsmænd og tal til dem og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN! - hvad enten de så hører eller ej!"
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place!”
Så løftede Ånden mig, og jeg hørte bag mig Larmen af et vældigt Jordskælv, da HERRENs Herlighed hævede sig fra sit Sted,
13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels that were with them, and the sound of a great earthquake.
og Suset af de levende Væseners Vinger, der rørte hverandre, og samtidig Lyden af Hjulene og Larmen af Jordskælvet.
14 The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went with bitterness in my spirit's rage, for the hand of Yahweh was powerfully pressing on me!
Og Ånden løftede mig og førte mig bort, og jeg vandrede bitter og gram i Hu, idet HERRENs Hånd var over mig med Vælde.
15 So I went to the captives at Tel Aviv who lived along the Kebar Canal, and I stayed there among them for seven days, overwhelmed in amazement.
Så kom jeg til de landflygtige i Tel-Abib, de, som boede ved Floden Kebar, og der sad jeg syv Dage iblandt dem og stirrede hen for mig.
16 Then it happened after seven days that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Syv Dage senere kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, so listen to the word from my mouth, and give them my warning.
Menneskesøn! Jeg sætter dig til Vægter for Israels Hus; hører du et Ord af min Mund, skal du advare dem fra mig.
18 When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand.
Når jeg siger til den gudløse: "Du skal visselig dø!" og du ikke advarer ham eller for at bevare hans Liv taler til ham om at omvende sig fra sin gudløse Vej, så skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.
19 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked deeds, then he will die for his sin, but you will have rescued your own life.
Advarer du derimod den gudløse, og han ikke omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed og sin Vej, så skal samme gudløse dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
20 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and I will not call to mind the righteous deeds that he performed, but I will require his blood from your hand.
Og når en retfærdig vender sig fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, og jeg lægger Anstød for ham, så han dør, og du ikke har advaret ham, så dør han for sin Synd, og den Retfærdighed, han har øvet, skal ikke tilregnes ham, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.
21 But if you warn the righteous man to stop sinning so that he no longer sins, he will surely live since he was warned; and you will have rescued your own life.”
Har du derimod advaret den retfærdige mod at synde, og han ikke synder, så skal samme retfærdige leve, fordi han lod sig advare, og du har reddet din Sjæl.
22 So the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Arise! Go out into the plain, and I will speak with you there!”
Siden kom HERRENs Hånd over mig der, og han sagde til mig: "Stå op og gå ud i dalen, der vil jeg tale med dig!"
23 I arose and went out into the plain, and there the glory of Yahweh was staying, like the glory that I had seen beside the Kebar Canal; so I fell on my face.
Så stod jeg op og gik ud i Dalen, og se, der stod HERRENs Herlighed, som jeg havde set denved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt.
24 The Spirit came to me and stood me up on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, “Go and shut yourself up within your house,
Men Ånden kom i mig og rejste mig på mine Fødder. Så taIede han til mig og sagde: Gå hjem og luk dig inde i dit Hus!
25 for now, son of man, they will place ropes upon you and tie you so you cannot go out among them.
Og du, Menneskesøn, se, man skal lægge Bånd på dig og binde dig, så du ikke kan gå ud iblandt dem;
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you will be mute, and you will not be able to rebuke them, since they are a rebellious house.
og din Tunge lader jeg hænge ved Ganen, så du bliver stum og ikke kan være dem en Revser; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth so you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.' The one who will hear will hear; the one who will not listen will not listen, for they are a rebellious house!”
Men når jeg taler til dig, vil jeg åbne din Mund, og du skal sige til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN! Så får den, der vil høre, høre, og den, der ikke vil, får lade være; thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
