Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
2 'Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land — when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
Du Menneskesøn! tal til dit Folks Børn, og sig til dem: Naar jeg skulde føre Sværd over et Land, og Folk i Landet toge een Mand iblandt sig og gjorde ham til deres Vægter,
3 And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people,
og han saa Sværdet komme over Landet og blæste i Trompeten og advarede Folket;
4 And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his head.
og den, som da hørte Trompetens Lyd, dog ikke vilde lade sig advare, og Sværdet kom og tog ham bort; Saa, skal hans Blod være over hans Hoved.
5 The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
Han hørte Trompetens Lyd og lod sig ikke advare, hans Blod skal være over ham; men havde han ladet sig advare, vilde han have reddet sit Liv.
6 And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them — a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require.
Men naar Vægteren saa Sværdet komme og ej blæste i Trompeten, og Folket ej advaredes, og Sværdet kom og tog en Sjæl bort af dem: Saa blev han vel borttagen for sin Misgernings Skyld, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af Vægterens Haand.
7 And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
Og du, Menneskesøn! jeg har sat dig til Vægter for Israels Hus, at, naar du hører et Ord af min Mund, du skal advare dem paa mine Vegne.
8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one — thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He — the wicked — in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
Naar jeg siger til den ugudelige: Du ugudelige skal visselig dø, og du ikke taler for at advare den ugudelige for hans Vej, da skal han, den ugudelige, vel dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Haand.
9 And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.
Men naar du advarer den ugudelige for hans Vej, at han skal omvende sig derfra, og han, dog ikke omvender sig fra sin Vej, da skal han dø for sin Misgerning, men du skal have din Sjæl frelst.
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How, then, do we live?
Og du Menneskesøn! sig til Israels Hus: I sige saaledes: Vore Overtrædelser og vore Synder ere over os, og vi hensvinde under dem; hvorledes kunne vi da leve?
11 Say unto them, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But — in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye die, O house of Israel?
Sig til dem: Saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre: Jeg har ikke Behag i den ugudeliges Død, men deri, at den ugudelige omvender sig fra sin Vej, at han maa leve; vender om, vender om fra eders onde Veje! hvorfor ville I dog dø, Israels Hus?
12 And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
Og du Menneskesøn! sig til dit Folks Børn: Den retfærdiges Retfærdighed skal ikke redde ham paa hans Overtrædelses Dag, og den ugudelige skal ikke falde for sin Ugudelighed paa den Dag, han omvender sig fra sin Ugudelighed, og den retfærdige skal ikke kunne leve derved, paa den Dag han synder.
13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And — he hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
Naar jeg siger om den retfærdige: Han skal visselig leve, og han forlader sig paa sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, da skal ingen af hans retfærdige Gerninger ihukommes; men han skal dø i sin Uretfærdighed, som han gjorde.
14 And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And — he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
Og naar jeg siger til den ugudelige: Du skal visselig dø, og han omvender sig fra sin Synd og gør Ret og Retfærdighed,
15 (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth, ) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth — he doth not die.
saa at den ugudelige giver Pant tilbage, betaler det, han har røvet, vandrer efter Livets Bud og ikke gør Uret, da skal han visselig leve, han skal ikke dø.
16 None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
Ingen af hans Synder, som han har begaaet, skal kommes ham i Hu; han har gjort Ret og Retfærdighed, han skal Visselig leve.
17 And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As to them — their way is not pondered.
Dog sige dit Folks Børn: Herrens Vej er ikke rigtig; men det er dem selv, hvis Vej ikke er rigtig.
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity — he dieth for it.
Naar den retfærdige vender om fra sin Retfærdighed og gør Uret, da skal han dø derfor.
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth.
Og naar den ugudelige vender om fra sin Ugudelighed og gør Ret og Retfærdighed, da skal han leve derved.
20 And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
Og dog sige I: Herrens Vej er ikke rigtig; jeg skal dømme eder, Israels Hus! hver efter hans Veje.
21 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year — in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month — of our removal, come in unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, 'The city hath been smitten.'
Og det skete i det tolvte Aar, i den tiende Maaned, paa deri femte Dag i Maaneden efter vor Bortførelse, da kom een til mig, som var undkommen fra Jerusalem, og sagde: Staden er indtagen.
22 And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.
Og Herrens Haand var kommen over mig om Aftenen, før den undslupne kom, og han oplod min Mund, inden denne kom til mig om Morgenen; saa oplodes min Mund, og jeg var ikke ydermere stum.
23 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
24 'Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham — and he possesseth the land, and we [are] many — to us hath the land been given for a possession.
Du Menneskesøn! de, som bo paa disse øde Steder i Israels Land, sige saaledes: Abraham var een og ejede Landet, og vi ere mange, os er Landet givet til Ejendom.
25 Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!
Derfor sig til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: I æde Kød tillige med Blod og opløfte eders Øjne til eders Afguder og udøse Blod! og I skulle eje Landet!
26 Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
I stole paa eders Sværd, I gøre Vederstyggeligheder og vanære hver sin Næstes Hustru; og I skulle eje Landet.
27 Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die.
Saaledes skal du sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Saa sandt jeg lever, de, som ere paa de øde Steder, skulle falde for Sværdet, og den, som er paa Marken, ham har jeg givet til de vilde Dyr, at de skulle æde ham, og de, som ere i Fæstningerne og i Hulerne, skulle dø af Pest.
28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.
Og jeg vil gøre Landet til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk, og dets Magts Stolthed skal ophøre; og Israels Bjerge skulle ligge øde, at ingen skal gaa over dem.
29 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
Saa skulle de fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg gør Landet til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk, formedelst alle deres Vederstyggeligheder, som de have gjort.
30 And thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother, Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that cometh out from Jehovah.
Og du Menneskesøn! dit Folks Børn tale indbyrdes om dig ved Væggene og i Husdørene, og den ene taler med den anden, hver med sin Broder, sigende: Kære, kommer og hører, hvad det er for et Ord, som udgaar fra Herren.
31 And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee — My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.
Og de skulle komme til dig, som et Folk kommer, og sidde for dit Ansigt som mit Folk, og de skulle høre dine Ord og ikke gøre efter dem; men det, der er behageligt i deres Mund, gøre de, og deres Hjerte gaar efter deres egen Fordel.
32 And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.
Og se, du er dem som en behagelig Sanger, der har en dejlig Røst; og som kan spille smukt; derfor skulle de høre dine Ord, men dog ikke gøre efter dem.
33 And in its coming in — lo, it hath come, And they have known that a prophet hath been in their midst!'
Men naar det kommer — se, det kommer! — da skulle de fornemme, at der har været en Profet midt iblandt dem.
