2 Menneskesøn, tal til dine Landsmænd og sig: Når jeg fører Sværdet over et Land, og Folket i Landet tager en af sin Midte og gør ham til deres Vægter,
2 “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, ‘If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman,
6 Men når Vægteren ser Sværdet komme og ikke støder i Hornet, så at Folket ikke advares, og Sværdet kommer og over en af dem bort, så rives han vel bort for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af Vægterens Hånd.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman’s hand.’
8 Når jeg siger til den gudløse: "Du skal visselig dø!" og du ikke taler for at advare ham mod hans Vej, så skal den gudløse vel dø for sin Misgerning, men hans Blod vil jeg kræve af din Hånd.
8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand.
9 Advarer du derimod den gudløse mod hans Vej, for at han skal omvende sig fra den, og han ikke omvender sig, så skal han dø for sin Misgerning, men du har reddet din Sjæl.
9 But if you on your part warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life.
10 Og du, Menneskesøn, sig til Israels Hus: I siger: "Vore Overtrædelser og Synder tynger os, og vi svinder hen i dem, hvor kan vi da leve?"
10 “Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus you have spoken, saying, “Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we are rotting away in them; how then can we survive?”’
11 Sig til dem: Så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Jeg har ikke Lyst til den gudløses Død, men til at han omvender sig fra sin Vej, at han må leve! Vend om, vend om fra eders onde Veje Hvorfor vil I dø, Israels Hus?
11 Say to them, ‘As I live!’ declares the Lord God, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’
12 Men du, Menneskesøn, sig til dine Landsmænd: Den retfærdiges Retfærdighed skal ikke redde ham, den Dag han synder, og den gudløses Gudløshed skal ikke fælde ham, den Dag han omvender sig fra sin Gudløshed, og en retfærdig skal ikke blive i Live ved sin Retfærdighed, den Dag han gør Synd.
12 And you, son of man, say to your fellow citizens, ‘The righteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous man will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’
13 Når jeg siger til den retfærdige: "Du skal visselig leve!" og han stoler på sin Retfærdighed og øver Uret, så skal intet af hans Retfærdighed tilregnes ham, men han skal dø for den Uret, han øver.
13 When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has committed he will die.
15 idet han giver Pant tilbage, godtgør, hvad han har ranet, og følger Livets Bud uden at øve Uret, så skal han leve og ikke dø;
15 if a wicked man restores a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
22 Men HERRENs Hånd var kommet over mig, om Aftenen før Flygtningen kom, og han åbnede min Mund, før han kom til mig om Morgenen; så åbnedes min Mund, og jeg var ikke mere stum.
22 Now the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before the refugees came. And He opened my mouth at the time they came to me in the morning; so my mouth was opened and I was no longer speechless.
24 Menneskesøn! De, der bor i Ruinerne i Israels Land, siger: "Abraham var kun een og fik dog Landet i eje; vi er mange, og os er Landet givet i Eje!"
24 “Son of man, they who live in these waste places in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one, yet he possessed the land; so to us who are many the land has been given as a possession.’
25 Sig derfor til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: I spiser Kød med Blod i, løfter eders Blik til eders Afgudsbilleder og udgyder Blod, og så vil I have Landet i Eje!
25 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols as you shed blood. Should you then possess the land?
27 Således skal du sige til dem: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Så sandt jeg lever: De i Ruinerne skal falde for Sværdet; dem i åbent Land giver jeg de vilde Dyr til Æde, og, de i Klippeborgene og Hulerne skal dø af Pest.
27 Thus you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword, and whoever is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of pestilence.
30 Og du, Menneskesøn, se, dine Landsmænd taler om dig langs Murene og i Husdørene, den ene til den anden, hver til sin Broder, og siger: "Kom og hør, hvad det er for et ord, der udgår fra HERREN!"
30 “But as for you, son of man, your fellow citizens who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, ‘Come now and hear what the message is which comes forth from the Lord.’
31 Og de kommer til dig, som var der Opløb, og sætter sig lige over for dig for at høre dine Ord. Men de gør ikke derefter; thi der er Løgn i deres Mund, og deres Hjerte higer efter Vinding.
31 They come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their gain.
32 Og se, du er dem som en, der synger en Elskovssang med liflig Røst og er dygtig til at spille; de hører dine Ord, men gør ikke derefter.
32 Behold, you are to them like a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not practice them.
