Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

Menneskesøn, profetér mod Israels Profeter, profetér og sig til dem, som profeterer efter deres eget Hjertes Tilskyndelse: Hør HERRENS Ord!

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Profeterne, de Daarer, som følger deres egen Aand uden at have skuet noget!

4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

Dine Profeter, Israel, er som Sjakaler i Ruiner.

5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

De stillede sig ikke i Murbruddet og byggede ikke en Mur om Israels Hus, saa det kunde staa sig i Striden paa HERRENS Dag.

6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

De skuede Tomhed og spaaede Løgn, idet de sagde: »Saa lyder det fra HERREN!« uden at HERREN havde sendt dem, og dog ventede de Ordet stadfæstet,

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, though ye say, The LORD saith it; although I have not spoken?

Var det ikke tomme Syner, I skuede, og Løgnespaadomme, I fremsatte? Og I siger: »Saa lyder det fra HERREN!« uden at jeg har talet.

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I forkynder Tomhed og skuer Løgn, se, derfor kommer jeg over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

9 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Jeg udrækker min Haand mod Profeterne, der skuer Tomhed og spaar Løgn; i mit Folks Samfund skal de ikke være, de skal ikke optages i Israels Hus's Mandtalsbog og ikke komme til Israels Land; og I skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HERREN.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar:

Fordi, ja fordi de vildleder mit Folk ved af forkynde Fred, hvor ingen Fred er, og naar det bygger en Væg, stryger den over med Kalk,

11 Say to them who daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

saa sig til dem, der stryger over med kalk: Skylregn skal komme, Isstykker skal falde og Stormvejr bryde løs,

12 Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the daubing with which ye have daubed it?

og naar saa Væggen styrter sammen, vil man da ikke spørge eder: »Hvor er Kalken, I strøg paa?«

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Og jeg lader et Stormvejr bryde løs i min Harme, og Skylregn skal komme i min Vrede og Isstykker i min Harme til Undergang;

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

og Væggen, som I strøg over med Kalk, river jeg ned og lader den styrte til Jorden, saa dens Grundvold blottes, og ved dens Fald skal I gaa til Grunde derinde; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar, and will say to you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

Jeg vil udtømme min Vrede over Væggen og dem, der strøg den over med Kalk, saa man skal sige til eder: »Hvor er Væggen, og hvor er de, som strøg den over,

16 That is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

Israels Profeter, som profeterede om Jerusalem og skuede Fredssyner for det, hvor ingen Fred var« — lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

Og du, Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod dit Folks Døtre, som profeterer efter deres eget Hjertes Tilskyndelse; profeter imod dem

18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew magic charms on all wrists, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come to you?

og sig: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ve dem, der syr Bind til alle Haandled og laver Slør til alle Hoveder efter hver Legemshøjde for at fange Sjæle! Dræber I Sjæle, der hører til mit Folk, og holder Sjæle i Live af Egennytte?

19 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

I, som vanhelliger mig for mit Folk for nogle Haandfulde Bygkorn og nogle Bidder Brød og saaledes dræber Sjæle, der ikke skulde dø, og holder Sjæle i Live, som ikke skulde leve, idet I lyver for mit Folk, som gerne hører paa Løgn!

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your magic charms, by which ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over eders Bind, med hvilke I fanger Sjæle, og river dem af eders Arme, og de Sjæle, I fanger, lader jeg slippe fri som Fugle;

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

og jeg sønderriver eders Slør og frier mit Folk af eders Haand, saa de ikke mere er Bytte i eders Haand; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

Fordi I ved Svig volder den retfærdiges Hjerte Smerte, skønt jeg ikke vilde volde ham Smerte, og styrker den gudløses Hænder, saa han ikke omvender sig fra sin onde Vej, at jeg kan holde ham i Live,

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

derfor skal I ikke mere skue Tomhed eller drive eders Spaadomskunst; jeg frier mit Folk af eders Haand; og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
