Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw amongst them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Så løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig til Herrens huses østport, den der vender mod Øst. Og se, ved Indgangen til Porten var der fem og tyve Mænd, og jeg så iblandt dem Jaazanja, Azzurs Søn, og Pelatja, Benajas Søn, Folkets Fyrster.
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Og han sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn! Det er de Mænd, som pønser på Uret og lægger onde Råd op i denne By,
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
idet de siger: "Er Husene ikke nys bygget? Byen er Gryden, vi Kødet!"
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Profeter derfor imod dem, profeter, Menneskesøn!
5 The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Så faldt HERRENs Ånd på mig, og han sagde til mig: Sig: Så siger HERREN: Således taler I, Israels Hus; jeg kender godt, hvad der stiger op i eders Ånd.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
Mange har I dræbt i denne By; I har fyldt dens Gader med dræbte.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: De, som I dræbte og henslængte i dens Midte, de er Kødet, og Byen er Gryden; men eder vil jeg føre ud af den.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
I frygter for Sværd, og Sværd vil jeg bringe over eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgements amongst you.
Jeg vil føre eder ud af den og give eder i fremmedes Hånd, og jeg vil holde Dom over eder.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
For Sværd skal I falde; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder. Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
Byen skal ikke være eder en Gryde, og I skal ikke være Kødet deri; ved Israels Grænse vil jeg dømme eder.
12 You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
Og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, hvis Vedtægter I ikke fulgte, og hvis Lovbud I ikke levede efter, hvorimod I levede efter eders Nabofolks Lovbud. -
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Men medens jeg profeterede således, døde Pelatja, Benajas Søn. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt og råbte med høj Røst: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, vil du da helt udrydde Israels Rest?"
14 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Så kom HERRENs Ord til mig således:
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
Menneskesøn! Dine Brødre, dine Medfanger og alt Israels Hus, alle de, om hvem Jerusalems Indbyggere siger: "De er langt borte fra HERREN, os er Landet givet i Eje!" -
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off amongst the nations, and whereas I have scattered them amongst the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ja, jeg har ført dem langt bort blandt Folkene og spredt dem i Landene, og kun i ringe Måde var jeg dem en Helligdom i de Lande, hvor de kom hen.
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you Eretz-Israel.”
Men derfor skal du sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Jeg vil samle eder sammen fra Folkeslagene og sanke eder op i Landene, hvor I er spredt, og give eder Israels Jord.
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
Derhen skal de komme og fjerne alle dets væmmelige Guder og alle dets Vederstyggeligheder;
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
jeg giver dem et nyt Hjerte og indgiver dem en ny Ånd; jeg tager Stenhjertet ud af deres Legeme og giver dem et Kødhjerte,
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
for at de må følge mine Vedtægter og holde mine Lovbud og gøre efter dem. Så skal de være mit Folk, og jeg vil være deres Gud.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
Men hines Hjerter holder sig til deres væmmelige Guder og deres Vederstyggeligheder; dem gengælder jeg deres Færd, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Så løftede keruberne Vingerne og samtidig Hjulene; og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
23 The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Og HERRENs Herlighed steg op fra Byen og stillede sig på Bjerget østen for.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Kasdimah, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Derpå løftede Ånden mig og bragte mig ved Guds Ånd i Synet til de landflygtige i Kaldæa; og Synet, som jeg havde skuet, steg op og svandt bort.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
Så kundgjorde jeg de landflyggige alle de Ord, HERREN havde åbenbaret mig.
