Ezekiel 13

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

2 'Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah:

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

3 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.

Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve Profeterne, de Dårer, som følger deres egen Ånd uden at have skuet noget!

4 As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.

Dine Profeter, Israel, er som Sjakaler i Ruiner.

5 Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.

De stillede sig ikke i Murbruddet og byggede ikke en Mur om Israels Hus, så det kunde stå sig i Striden på HERRENs Dag.

6 They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.

De skuede Tomhed og spåede Løgn, idet de sagde: "Så lyder det fra HERREN! " uden at HERREN havde sendt dem, og dog ventede de Ordet stadfæstet,

7 A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?

Var det ikke tomme Syner, I skuede, og Løgnespådomme, I fremsatte? Og I siger: "Så lyder det fra HERREN!" uden at jeg har talet.

8 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

Derfor, så 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 hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

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

10 Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk.

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

11 Say to those daubing with chalk — It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend,

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

12 And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?

og når så Væggen styrter sammen, vil man da ikke spørge eder: "Hvor er Kalken, I strøg på?"

13 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury — to consume.

Derfor, så 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 And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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

15 And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;

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

16 The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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

17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,

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

18 And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature — to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive?

og sig: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Ve dem, der syr Bind til alle Håndled 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 Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people — hearkening to lies.

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

20 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.

Derfor, så 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 And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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

22 Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive,

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

23 Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!'

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