¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹Og Herrens ord kom til mig således:

²Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,

²Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Israels Bjerge, profeter imod dem

³and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

³og sig: Israels Bjerge, hør den Herre HERRENs Ord! Så siger den Herre HERREN til Bjergene og Højene, til Kløfterne og Dalene: Se, jeg sender Sværd over eder og tilintetgør eders Offerhøje.

⁴Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

⁴Eders Altre skal ødelægges, eders Solstøtter sønderbrydes, og eders dræbte lader jeg segne foran eders Afgudsbilleder;

⁵I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

⁵jeg kaster Israeliternes Lig hen for deres Afgudsbilleder og strør eders Ben rundt om eders Altre.

⁶In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

⁶Overalt hvor I bor, skal Byerne lægges øde og Offerhøjene gå til Grunde, for at eders Altre kan lægges øde og gå til Grunde, eders Afudsbilleder sønderbrydes og udryddes, eders Solstøtter hugges om og eders Værker tilintetgøres.

⁷The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁷Mandefald skal ske iblandt eder, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.

⁸Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.

⁸Men en Rest lader jeg blive tilbage, idet nogle af eder undslipper fra Sværdet blandt Folkene, når I spredes i Landene,

⁹Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

⁹og de undslupne skal komme mig i Hu blandt Folkene, hvor de er Fanger; jeg sønderbryder deres bolerske Hjerter, som faldt fra mig, og deres bolerske Øjne, som hang ved deres Afgudsbilleder; og de skal væmmes ved sig selv over alt det onde, de har gjort, over alle deres Vederstyggeligheder.

¹⁰They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.

¹⁰Og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN; det var ikke tomme Ord, når jeg talede om at gøre den Ulykke på dem.

¹¹Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

¹¹Så siger den Herre HERREN: Slå Hænderne sammen, stamp med Foden og råb Ve over alle Israels Huses grimme Vederstyggeligheder! De skal falde for Sværd, Hunger og Pest.

¹²He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.

¹²Den, som er langt borte, skal dø af Pest; den, som er nær, skal falde for Sværd; og den, som levnes og reddes, skal dø af Hunger; således udtømmer jeg min Vrede over dem.

¹³You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.

¹³De skal kende, at jeg er HERREN, når deres dræbte ligger midt iblandt deres Afgudsbilleder rundt om deres Altre på hver høj Bakke, på alle Bjergenes Tinder, under hvert grønt Træ og hver løvrig Eg, der, hvor de opsendte liflig Duft til deres Afgudsbilleder.

¹⁴I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁴Jeg udrækker Hånden imod dem og gør Landet øde og tomt lige fra Ørkenen til Ribla, overalt hvor de bor; og de skal kende, at jeg er HERREN.
