Ezekiel 22

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Herrens ord kom til mig således:

Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

Du Menneskesøn! Vil du dømme Blodbyen? Så forehold den alle dens Vederstyggeligheder

Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

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.

Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all 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;

Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

fra nær og fjern skal man spotte dig, du, hvis Navn er skændet, og som er fuld af Larm.

Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

Se, Israels Fyrster optræder hver og een egenmægtigt i dig og udøser Blod.

In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

Fader og Moder ringeagtes, den fremmede undertrykkes i dig, den faderløse og Enken lider Uret.

Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

Mine hellige Ting agter du ringe og vanhelliger mine Sabbater.

In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

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;

In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

i dig blottes Faderens Skam, og Kvinder krænkes i deres Urenheds Tid.

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath 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.

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

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.

Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

Men se, jeg slår Hænderne sammen over den uredelige Vinding, du har skaffet dig, og over det Blod, der er udøst i dig.

Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD 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.

And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

Jeg vil sprede dig blandt Folkene og udstrø dig i Landene og tage din Urenhed fra dig;

And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

jeg vil lade mig vanære ved dig for Folkenes Øjne; og du skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Og HERRESs Ord kom til mig således:

Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even 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.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Fordi I alle er blevet til Slagger, derfor vil jeg samle eder i Jerusalem;

As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave 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;

Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.

jeg vil samle eder og blæse min Vredes Ild op imod eder, så I smeltes deri.

As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

Som Sølv smeltes i Smelteovnen, skal I smeltes deri; og I skal kende, atjeg, HERREN, har udøst min Vrede over eder.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Og HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

Menneskesøn, sig til Landet: Du er et Land, der ikke får Regn og Byger på Vredens Dag,

There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

hvis Fyrster er som brølende Løver på Rov; de tilintetgør Sjæle, tilriver sig Gods og Guld, gør mange til Enker deri.

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and 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.

Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

Fyrsterne er som Ulve på Rov: de er ivrige efter at udøse Blod og tilintetgøre Menneskeliv for at skaffe sig Vinding.

And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath 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.

The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger 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.

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

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.

Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

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.
