< Ezekiel 5 >
1 'And thou, son of man, take to thee a sharp weapon, the barber's razor thou dost take to thee, and thou hast caused [it] to pass over thy head, and over thy beard, and thou hast taken to thee weighing scales, and apportioned them.
Og du Menneskesøn tag dig et skarbt sværd, brug det som Ragekniv og lad det gå over dit Hoved og dit Skæg; tag dig så en Vægtskål og del Håret.
2 A third part with fire thou dost burn in the midst of the city, at the fulness of the days of the siege; and thou hast taken the third part, thou dost smite with a weapon round about it; and the third part thou dost scatter to the wind, and a weapon I draw out after them.
En Tredjedel skal du brænde i et Bål midt i Byen, når Belejringens Dage er omme; en Tredjedel skal du tage og slå den med Sværdet rundt om Byen; og en Tredjedel skal du sprede for Vinden; så drager jeg Sværdet bag dem.
3 And thou hast taken thence a few in number — and hast bound them in thy skirts;
Derefter skal du tage lidt deraf og svøbe det ind i din kappeflig;
4 and of them thou dost take again, and hast cast them unto the midst of the fire, and hast burned them in the fire — out of it cometh forth a fire unto all the house of Israel.
og deraf skal du atter tage noget og kaste det midt ind i Ilden og brænde det. Og du skal sige til hele Israels Hus:
5 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: this [is] Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations I have set her, And round about her [are] the lands.
Så siger den Herre HERREN: Dette er Jerusalem; jeg satte det midt iblandt Folkene, omgivet af lande.
6 And she changeth My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] round about her, For against My judgments they have kicked, And My statutes — they have not walked in them.
Men det var gudløst og genstridigt mod mine Lovbud mere end Folkene og mod mine Vedtægter mere end Landene rundt om; thi de lod hånt om mine Lovbud og vandrede ikke efter mine Vedtægter.
7 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, In My statutes ye have not walked, And My judgments ye have not done, According to the judgments of the nations That [are] round about you ye have not done.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I var mere genstridige end Folkene rundt om og ikke vandrede efter mine Vedtægter eller holdt mine Lovbud, men gjorde efter de omboende Folks Lovbud,
8 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, even I, And I have done in thy midst judgments, Before the eyes of the nations.
derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, jeg kommer over dig og holder Dom i din Midte for Folkenes Øjne.
9 And I have done in thee that which I have not done, And that which I do not its like again, Because of all thine abominations.
For alle dine Vederstyggeligheders Skyld vil jeg gøre med dig, hvad jeg aldrig har gjort og aldrig vil gøre Mage til.
10 Therefore fathers do eat sons in thy midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done in thee judgments, And have scattered all thy remnant to every wind.
Derfor skal Fædre æde deres Børn i din Midte og Børn deres Fædre; jeg holder Dom over dig, og alle, som er til Rest i dig, spreder jeg for alle Vinde.
11 Therefore, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah: Because My sanctuary thou hast defiled, With all thy detestable things, And with all thine abominations, Mine eye pitieth not, and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish?
Derfor, så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Sandelig, fordi du gjorde min Helligdom uren med alle dine væmmelige Guder og Vederstyggeligheder, vil jeg også støde dig fra mig uden Medynk eller Skånsel.
12 Thy third part — by pestilence they die, And by famine are consumed in thy midst, And the third part, by sword they fall round about thee, And the third part, to every wind I scatter, And a sword I draw out after them.
En Tredjedel af dig skal dø af Pest og omkomme af Hunger i din Midte, en Tredjedel skal falde for Sværdet rundt om dig, og en Tredjedel spreder jeg for alle Vinde og drager Sværdet bag dem.
13 And completed hath been Mine anger, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on them.
Min Vrede skal udtømme sig, og jeg vil køle min Harme på dem og tage Hævn, så de skal kende at jeg, HERREN, har talet i min Nidkærhed, når jeg udtømmer min Vrede over dem.
14 And I give thee for a waste, And for a reproach among nations that [are] round about thee, Before the eyes of every passer by.
Jeg gør dig til en Grushob og til Spot blandt Folkene rundt om, for Øjnene af enhver, som drager forbi.
15 And it hath been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that [are] round about thee, In My doing in thee judgments, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Du skal blive til Spot og Hån, til Advarsel og Rædsel for Folkene rundt om, når jeg holder Dom over dig i Vrede og Harme og harm fuld Revselse. Jeg, HERREN, har talet!
16 In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And famine I am adding upon you, And I have broken to you the staff of bread.
Når jeg sender Hungerens onde Pile mod eder, og de, som jeg sender for af ødelægge eder, volder Ødelæggelse, og jeg lader Hungeren tage til, da sønderbryder jeg Brødets Støttestav for eder
17 And I have sent on you famine and evil beasts, And they have bereaved thee, And pestilence and blood pass over on thee, And a sword I do bring in against thee, I, Jehovah, have spoken!'
og sender Hunger over eder og Rovdyr, som skal affolke dig; Pest og Blodsudgydelse skal hjemsøge dig, og jeg bringer Sværd over dig. Jeg, HERREN, har talet.
