Ezekiel 34

1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who are shepherding themselves. Should not shepherds guard the flock?

Menneskesøn, profeter mod Israels Hyrder, profeter og sig til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Israels Hyrder, som røgtede sig selv! Skal Hyrderne ikke røgte Hjorden?

3 You eat the fatty portions and you dress in wool. You slaughter the fatlings of the flock. You do not shepherd at all.

I fortærede Mælken, med Ulden klædte I eder, de fede Dyr slagtede I, men Hjorden røgtede I ikke;

4 You have not strengthened those who have diseases, nor do you heal the ones who are ill. You do not bind up the ones who are broken, and you do not restore the outcasts or seek the lost. Instead, you rule over them through strength and violence.

de svage Dyr styrkede I ikke, de syge lægte I ikke, de sårede forbandt I ikke, de adsplittede bragte I ikke tilbage, de vildfarende opsøgte I ikke, men I styrede dem med Hårdhed og Grumhed.

5 Then they were scattered without a shepherd, and they became food for all the living beasts in the fields, after they were scattered.

Derfor spredtes de, eftersom der ingen Hyrde var, og blev til Æde for alle Markens vilde Dyr; ja, de spredtes.

6 My flock strays on all of the mountains and on every high hill, and it is dispersed over the entire surface of the earth. Yet no one is searching for them.

Min Hjord flakkede om på alle Bjerge og på hver en høj Banke, og over hele Jorden spredtes min Hjord, og ingen spurgte eller ledte efter dem.

7 Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

Derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENs Ord!

8 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—because my flock has become plunder and food for all the beasts in the fields, because there was no shepherd and none of my shepherds sought my flock, but the shepherds guarded themselves and did not shepherd my flock.

Så sandtjeg 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, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

derfor, I Hyrder, hør HERRENs Ord!

10 The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand. Then I will dismiss them from shepherding the flock; neither will the shepherds any longer shepherd themselves since I will take away my flock from their mouths, so that my flock will no longer be food for them.

Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg, kommer over Hyrderne og kræver min Hjord af deres Hånd, og jeg sætter dem fra at vogte min Hjord; Hyrderne skal ikke mere kunne røgte sig selv; jeg redder min Hjord af deres Gab, så den ikke skal tjene dem til Æde.

11 For the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I myself will seek out my flock and I will look after them,

Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil selv spørge efter min Hjord og tage mig af den.

12 like a shepherd seeking his flock on the day he is within the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will seek my flock, and I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.

Som en Hyrde tager sig af sin Hjord på Stormvejrets Dag, således tager jeg mig af min Hjord og redder den fra de Steder, hvorhen de spredtes på Skyernes og Mulmets Dag;

13 Then I will bring them out from among the peoples; I will gather them from the lands and bring them to their land. I will put them in pastures on the mountainsides of Israel, by the streams, and in every settlement in the land.

jeg fører dem bort fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra Landene og bringer dem til deres Land, og jeg, røgter dem på Israels Bjerge, i Kløfterne og på alle Landets beboede Steder.

14 I will put them in good pastures; the high mountains of Israel will be their grazing places. They will lie down there in good places for grazing, in abundant pastures, and they will graze on the mountains of Israel.

På gode Græsgange vil jeg vogte dem, og på Israels Bjerghøjder skal deres Græsmarker være; der skal de lejre sig på gode Græsmarker, og i fede Græsgange skal de græsse på Israels Bjerge.

15 I myself will shepherd my flock, and I myself will make them lie down—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—

Jeg vil selv røgte min Hjord og selv lade dem lejre sig, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

16 I will seek the lost and restore the outcast. I will bind up the broken sheep and heal the sick sheep but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd with justice.

De vildfarende Dyr vil jeg opsøge, de adsplittede vil jeg bringe tilbage, de sårede 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 So now you, my flock—this is what the Lord Yahweh says—behold, I will be a judge between sheep and sheep and between rams and male goats.

Og I, min Hjord! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg vil skifte. Ret mellem Får og Får, mellem Vædre og Bukke.

18 Is it not enough to feed on the good pasture, that you must trample down with your feet what is left of the pasture; and to drink from clear waters, that you must muddy the rivers with your feet?

Er det eder ikke nok at græsse på 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 Must my sheep eat what you have trampled with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?

Min Hjord må græsse, hvad I har nedtrampet, og drikke, hvad I har plumret med eders Fødder!

20 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this to them: Behold! I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the thin ones,

Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer for at skifte Ret mellem de fede og de magre Får.

21 for you have pushed them with your sides and shoulders, and you have gored all of the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them away from the land.

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 I will save my flock and they will no longer be plunder, and I will judge between one sheep and another!

derfor vil jeg hjælpe min Hjord, så den ikke mere skal blive til Rov, og skifte Ret mellem Får og Får.

23 I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will shepherd them, he will feed them, and he will be 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 For I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among them—I, Yahweh, have declared this.

Og jeg, HERREN, vil være deres Gud, og min Tjener David skal være Fyrste iblandt dem, så sandt jeg, HERREN, har talet.

25 Then I will make a covenant of peace with them and remove the evil wild animals from the land, so that they will live securely in the wilderness and safely sleep in the forests.

Jeg vil slutte en Fredspagt med dem og udrydde de vilde Dyr at Landet, så de trygt kan bo i Ørkenen og sove i Skovene.

26 I will also bring blessings on them and on the places around my hill, for I will send out showers in due season. These will be showers of blessing.

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 Then the trees of the field will produce their fruit, and the earth will yield its produce. My sheep will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I break the bars of their yoke, and when I rescue them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

Markens Træer skal give deres Frugt og Landet sin Afgrøde; trygt skal de bo på deres Jord, og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når jeg bryder Stængerne på deres Åg og frelser dem af deres Hånd, som gjorde dem til Trælle.

28 They will no longer be plunder for the nations, and the wild animals on the earth will no longer devour them. For they will live securely, and no one will frighten them.

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 For I will provide them a land known for its crops; so they will not be victims of famine in the land, and they will not bear the scorn of the nations.

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 Hån.

30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them. They are my people, the house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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 For you are my sheep, the flock of my pasture, and my people, and I am your God—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

I er min Hjord, I er den Hjord, jeg røgter, og jeg er eders Gud, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
