Jezekiel 20
1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, on the fifteenth day of the month, there came men of the elders of the house of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.
In pripetilo se je v sedmem letu, v petem mesecu, deseti dan meseca, da so določeni izmed Izraelovih starešin prišli, da bi povpraševali od Gospoda in se usedli pred menoj.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
3 Son of man, speak to the elders of the house of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Are ye come to enquire of me? [As] I live, I will not be enquired of by you, saith the Lord.
»Človeški sin, govori Izraelovim starešinam in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste prišli, da povprašujete od mene? Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nočem biti povpraševan od vas.
4 Shall I utterly take vengeance on them, son of man? testify to them of the iniquities of their fathers:
Ali jih hočeš soditi, človeški sin, ali jih hočeš soditi? Povzroči jim, da spoznajo ogabnosti njihovih očetov
5 and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; From the day that I chose the house of Israel, and became known to the seed of the house of Jacob, and was known to them in the land of Egypt, and helped them with my hand, saying, I am the Lord your God;
in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Na dan, ko sem izbral Izraela in dvignil svojo roko k semenu Jakobove hiše in se jim dal spoznati v egiptovski deželi, ko sem vzdignil svojo roko k njim, rekoč: ›Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ‹
6 in that day I helped them with my hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into the land which I prepared for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is abundant beyond every land.
na dan, ko sem vzdignil svojo roko k njim, da jih privedem iz egiptovske dežele v deželo, ki sem jo odkril zanje, tekočo z mlekom in medom, ki je slava vseh dežel.
7 And I said to them, Let every one cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the devices of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Potem sem jim rekel: ›Vsak mož naj odvrže ogabnosti svojih oči in ne omadežujte se z egiptovskimi maliki.‹ Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
8 But they revolted from me, and would not hearken to me: they cast not away the abominations of their eyes, and forsook not the devices of Egypt: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my wrath upon them in the midst of Egypt.
›Toda uprli so se zoper mene in me niso hoteli poslušati. Noben mož ni odvrgel ogabnosti svojih oči niti niso zapustili egiptovskih malikov. Tedaj sem rekel: ›Nanje bom izlil svojo razjarjenost, da dovršim svojo jezo zoper njih v sredi egiptovske dežele.
9 But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they are, among whom I was made known to them in their sight, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, med katerimi so bili, v čigar pogledu sem se jim dal spoznati v tem, da sem jih privedel iz egiptovske dežele.
10 And I brought them into the wilderness.
Zatorej sem jim velel, da gredo iz egiptovske dežele in jih privedel v divjino.
11 And I gave them my commandments, and made known to them mine ordinances, all which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them.
In dal sem jim svoje zakone in jim pokazal svoje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih.
12 And I gave them my sabbaths, that they should be for a sign between me and them, that they should know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.
Poleg tega sem jim dal tudi svoje šabate, da bodo znamenje med menoj in njimi, da bodo lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ki jih posvečujem.
13 And I said to the house of Israel in the wilderness, Walk ye in my commandments: but they walked not [in them], and they rejected mine ordinances, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them; and they grievously profaned my sabbaths: and I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Toda Izraelova hiša se je uprla zoper mene v divjini. Niso hodili po mojih zakonih in prezirali so moje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih; in moje šabate so silno oskrunili. Potem sem rekel: ›V divjini bom nadnje izlil svojo razjarjenost, da jih použije.
14 But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned before the Gentiles, before whose eyes I brought them out.
Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, v katerem pogledu sem jih privedel ven.
15 But I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness once for all, that I would not bring them into the land which I gave them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is sweeter than all lands:
Vendar sem prav tako vzdignil svojo roko k njim v divjini, da jih ne bom privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo dal, tekočo z mlekom in medom, katera je slava vseh dežel;
16 because they rejected mine ordinances, and walked not in my commandments, but profaned my sabbaths, and went after the imaginations of their hearts.
zato ker so prezirali moje sodbe in niso hodili po mojih zakonih, temveč so oskrunili moje šabate, kajti njihovo srce je šlo za njihovimi maliki.
17 Yet mine eyes spared them, so as [not] to destroy them utterly, and I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.
Kljub temu jim je moje oko prizaneslo pred tem, da bi jih uničil niti jim v divjini nisem storil konca.
18 And I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk not ye in the customs of your fathers, and keep not their ordinances, and have no fellowship with their practices, nor defile yourselves [with them].
Temveč sem njihovim otrokom v divjini rekel: ›Ne hodite po zakonih svojih očetov niti ne obeležujte njihovih sodb niti se ne omadežujte z njihovimi maliki.
19 I [am] the Lord your God; walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;
Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ravnajte se po mojih zakonih in držite se mojih sodb in jih izvršujte;
20 and hallow my sabbaths, and let them be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.
in posvečujte moje šabate; in te bodo znamenje med menoj in vami, da boste lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
21 But they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them.
Vendar so se otroci uprli zoper mene. Niso se ravnali po mojih zakonih niti se niso ravnali po mojih sodbah, da bi jih izpolnjevali, katere, če človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel po njih; oskrunjali so moje šabate. Potem sem rekel: ›Nadnje bom izlil svojo razjarjenost, da dovršim svojo jezo zoper njih v divjini.‹
22 But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight.
Kljub temu sem umaknil svojo roko in zaradi svojega imena storil, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred očmi poganov, v čigar očeh sem jih izpeljal.
23 I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles, [and] disperse them in the countries;
V divjini sem prav tako svojo roko vzdignil k njim, da bi jih razkropil med pogane in jih razpršil skozi dežele;
24 because they kept not mine ordinances, and rejected my commandments, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes went after the imaginations of their fathers.
ker niso izvrševali mojih sodb, temveč so prezirali moje zakone in skrunili moje šabate in njihove oči so bile za maliki njihovih očetov.
25 So I gave them commandments [that were] not good, and ordinances in which they should not live.
Zatorej sem jim prav tako izročil zakone, ki niso bili dobri in sodbe, po katerih naj ne bi živeli;
26 And I will defile them by their [own] decrees, when I pass through upon every one that opens the womb, that I may destroy them.
in oskrunil sem jih v njihovih lastnih darovih, s tem, da so počeli, da gre skozi ogenj vse, kar odpre maternico, da bi jih lahko naredil zapuščene, z namenom, da bi lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod.‹
27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord: Hitherto have your fathers provoked me in their trespasses in which they transgressed against me.
Zatorej, človeški sin, govori Izraelovi hiši in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vendar so vaši očetje proti meni izrekali bogokletje v tem, da so zagrešili prekršek zoper mene.
28 Whereas I brought them into the land concerning which I lifted up mine hand to give it them; and they looked upon every high hill, and every shady tree, and they sacrificed there to their gods, and offered there sweet-smelling savour, and there they poured out their drink-offerings.
Kajti ko sem jih privedel v deželo, za katero sem vzdignil svojo roko, da jim jo dam, takrat so videli vsak visok hrib in vsa debela drevesa in tam so darovali svoje klavne daritve in tam so predstavljali izzivanje svojega daru. Tam so tudi naredili svoje prijetne dišave in tam so izlivali svoje pitne daritve.‹
29 And I said to them, What is Abama, that ye go in thither? and they called its name Abama, until this day.
Potem sem jim rekel: ›Kaj je visok kraj, kamor greste?‹ In njegovo ime je imenovano Bama do današnjega dne.
30 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Do ye pollute yourselves with the iniquities of your fathers, and do ye go a-whoring after their abominations,
Zato reci Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste oskrunjeni po načinu svojih očetov? In grešite vlačugarstvo po njihovih ogabnostih?
31 and [do ye pollute yourselves] with the first-fruits of your gifts, in the offerings wherewith ye pollute yourselves in all your imaginations, until this day; and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord, I will not answer you, neither shall this thing come upon your spirit.
Kajti ko darujete svoje darove, ko svojim sinovom povzročate, da gredo skozi ogenj, same sebe oskrunjate z vsemi svojimi maliki, celo do današnjega dne. In ali naj bom povpraševan od vas, oh Izraelova hiša? Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nočem biti povpraševan od vas.
32 And it shall not be as ye say, We will be as the nations, and as the tribes of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.
In to, kar prihaja v vaše misli, sploh ne bo, da pravite: ›Mi bomo kakor pogani, kakor družine dežel, da služimo lesu in kamnu.‹
33 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a high arm, and with outpoured wrath:
› Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bom z mogočno roko in z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo vladal nad vami
34 I will bring you out from the nations, and will take you out of the lands wherein ye were dispersed, with a strong hand, and with a high arm, and with outpoured wrath.
in vas izpeljem izmed ljudstva in vas zberem iz dežel, po katerih ste razkropljeni, z mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, and will plead with you there face to face.
In jaz vas bom privedel v divjino ljudstev in tam se bom pravdal z vami iz obličja v obličje.
36 As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I judge you, saith the Lord.
Podobno kakor sem se pravdal z vašimi očeti v divjini egiptovske dežele, tako se bom pravdal z vami, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
37 And I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will bring you in by number.
›In povzročil vam bom, da boste šli pod palico in privedel vas bom v vez zaveze
38 And I will separate from among you the ungodly and the revolters; for I will lead them forth out of their place of sojourning, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord, [even] the Lord.
in izmed vas bom očistil upornike in tiste, ki so odpadli zoper mene. Izpeljal jih bom iz dežele, kjer začasno prebivajo in ne bodo vstopili v Izraelovo deželo in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.
39 And [as to] you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord; Put away each one his [evil] practices, and hereafter if ye hearken to me, then shall ye no more profane my holy name by your gifts and by devices.
Glede vas, oh Izraelova hiša, ‹ tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Pojdite, služite vsak svojim malikom in tudi v prihodnje, če mi nočete prisluhniti. Toda ne skrunite več mojega svetega imena s svojimi darovi in svojimi maliki.
40 For upon my holy mountain, on the high mountain, saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, there shall all the house of Israel serve me for ever: and there will I accept [you], and there will I have respect to your first-fruits, and the first-fruits of your offerings, in all your holy things.
Kajti na moji sveti gori, na gori Izraelove višine, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›tam mi bo [služila] vsa Izraelova hiša, vsi izmed njih v deželi mi [bodo] služili. Tam jih bom sprejel in tam bom zahteval vaše daritve in prve sadove vaših daritev, z vsemi vašimi svetimi stvarmi.
41 I will accept you with a sweet-smelling savour, when I bring you out from the nations, and take you out of the countries wherein ye have been dispersed; and I will be sanctified among you in the sight of the nations.
Sprejel vas bom z vašim prijetnim vonjem, ko vas odvedem izmed ljudstev in vas zberem iz dežel, kamor ste bili razkropljeni; in jaz bom posvečen v vas pred pogani.
42 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.
In vedeli boste, da jaz sem Gospod, ko vas bom privedel v Izraelovo deželo, v deželo, za katero sem vzdignil svojo roko, da jo dam vašim očetom.
43 And ye shall there remember your ways, and your devices wherewith ye defiled yourselves; and ye shall bewail yourselves for all your wickedness.
In tam se boste spomnili svojih poti in vseh svojih dejanj, s katerimi ste bili omadeževani; in gnusili se boste samim sebi, v svojem lastnem pogledu, zaradi vseh svojih hudobij, ki ste jih storili.
44 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have done thus to you, that my name may not be profaned in your evil ways, and in your corrupt devices, saith the Lord.
In spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod, ko z vami postopam zaradi svojega imena, ne glede na vaše zlobne poti niti ne glede na vaša izprijena početja, oh vi, hiša Izraelova, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
45 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
46 Son of man, set thy face against Thaeman, and look toward Darom, and prophesy against the chief forest of Nageb,
»Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti jugu in svojo besedo spusti proti jugu in prerokuj zoper gozd južnega polja;
47 and thou shalt say to the forest of Nageb, Hear the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord; Behold, I [will] kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame that is kindled shall not be quenched, and every face shall be scorched with it from the south to the north.
in reci južnemu gozdu: ›Poslušaj Gospodovo besedo: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glej, v tebi bom zanetil ogenj in ta bo v tebi pogoltnil vsako zeleno drevo in vsako suho drevo. Plameneč ogenj ne bo pogašen in vsi obrazi, od juga do severa, bodo v njem ožgani.
48 And all flesh shall know that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
In vse meso bo videlo, da sem ga zanetil jaz, Gospod. Ta ne bo pogašen.‹«
49 And I said, Not so, O Lord God! they say to me, Is not this that is spoken a parable?
Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! O meni pravijo: ›Mar on ne govori prispodob?‹«
