Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Herrens ord kom til mig således:
2 “You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
Du Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Blodbyen? Så forehold den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder
3 You shall say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Byen, der udøser Blod i sin Midte, for at dens Time skal komme, og laver sig Afgudsbilleder for at gøre sig uren.
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
Ved dine egne Folks Blod, som du har udgydt, har du pådraget dig Skyld, og ved de Afgudsbilleder du har lavet, er du blevet uren; du har bragt din Time nær og hidført dine Års Frist. Derfor gør jeg dig til Hån for Folkene og til Spot for alle Lande;
5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
fra nær og fjern skal man spotte dig, du, hvis Navn er skændet, og som er fuld af Larm.
6 “‘“Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
Se, Israels Fyrster optræder hver og een egenmægtigt i dig og udøser Blod.
7 In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
Fader og Moder ringeagtes, den fremmede undertrykkes i dig, den faderløse og Enken lider Uret.
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Mine hellige Ting agter du ringe og vanhelliger mine Sabbater.
9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you.
Du har Æreskændere i din Midte, som bagtaler, så der udøses Blod, og Folk, som spiser på Bjergene. Utugt går i Svang i din Midte;
10 In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
i dig blottes Faderens Skam, og Kvinder krænkes i deres Urenheds Tid.
11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
Man øver Vederstyggelighed mod sin Næstes Hustru, man gør sin Sønnekone uren ved Utugt, man skænder i dig sin kødelige Søster.
12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord Yahweh.
I dig tager man Gave for at udøse Blod; du tager Åger og Opgæld, voldelig øver du Svig mod din Næste; og mig glemmer du, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
13 “‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
Men se, jeg slår Hænderne sammen over den uredelige Vinding, du har skaffet dig, og over det Blod, der er udøst i dig.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it.
Kan dit Hjerte holde Stand, kan dine Hænder være faste i de Dage, da jeg tager fat på dig? Jeg, HERREN, har talet, og jeg fuldbyrder det.
15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
Jeg vil sprede dig blandt Folkene og udstrø dig i Landene og tage din Urenhed fra dig;
16 You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”
jeg vil lade mig vanære ved dig for Folkenes Øjne; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
17 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Og HERRESs Ord kom til mig således:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
Menneskesøn! Israels Hus er blevet mig til Slagger; de er alle blevet Kobber, Tin, Jern og Bly i Smelteovnen; Sølvslagger er de blevet.
19 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I alle er blevet til Slagger, derfor vil jeg samle eder i Jerusalem;
20 As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.
som man samler Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Bly og Tin i en Smelteovn og blæser til Ilden for at smelte det, således vil jeg i min Vrede og Harme samle eder og kaste eder ind og smelte eder;
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it.
jeg vil samle eder og blæse min Vredes Ild op imod eder, så I smeltes deri.
22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
Som Sølv smeltes i Smelteovnen, skal I smeltes deri; og I skal kende, atjeg, HERREN, har udøst min Vrede over eder.
23 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
24 “Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on in the day of indignation.’
Menneskesøn, sig til Landet: Du er et Land, der ikke får Regn og Byger på Vredens Dag,
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
hvis Fyrster er som brølende Løver på Rov; de tilintetgør Sjæle, tilriver sig Gods og Guld, gør mange til Enker deri.
26 Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned among them.
Præsterne øver Vold mod min Lov, vanhelliger mine hellige Ting og gør ikke Skel mellem det, der er helligt, og det, der ikke er helligt, lærer ikke Forskel mellem rent og urent og lukker Øjnene for mine Sabbater, så jeg er blevet vanhelliget iblandt dem.
27 Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
Fyrsterne er som Ulve på Rov: de er ivrige efter at udøse Blod og tilintetgøre Menneskeliv for at skaffe sig Vinding.
28 Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,’ when Yahweh has not spoken.
Profeterne stryger over med Kalk, idet de skuer Tomhed og varsler Løgn og siger: "Så siger den Herre HERREN!" uden at HERREN har talet.
29 The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
Det menige Folk øver Vold og går på Rov, den arme og fattige gør de Uret, og den fremmede undertrykker de imod Lov og Ret.
30 “I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
Jeg søgte iblandt dem efter en, der vilde bygge en Mur og stille sig i Gabet for mit Åsyn til Værn for Landet, at jeg ikke skulde ødelægge det; men jeg fandt ingen.
31 Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Derfor udøser jeg min Vrede over dem, med min Harmes Ild tilintetgør jeg dem; deres Færd lader jeg komme over deres Hoved, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
