Ezekiel 13

1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:

2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the LORD’s word:

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

3 The Lord GOD says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who 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 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

Dine Profeter, Israel, er som Sjakaler i Ruiner.

5 You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day.

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 falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘The LORD says;’ but the LORD has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

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 Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘The LORD says;’ but 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 the Lord GOD says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says 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 “My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will 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 is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash.

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 Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it.

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

12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, won’t it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?”

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

13 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath 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 I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will 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 I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered 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 to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says 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 You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy 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, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves?

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 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against your magic bands, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls fly free, even the souls whom you ensnare like birds.

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 I will also tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand; and they will no longer be in your hand to be ensnared. Then you will 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 you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.

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 you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will 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.
