Jezekiel 9
1 And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, The judgment of the city has drawn nigh; and each had the weapons of destruction in his hand.
Zaklical je tudi z močnim glasom v moja ušesa, rekoč: »Povzročite tistim, ki imajo zadolžitev nad mestom, da se približajo, celo vsak človek s svojim uničevalnim orožjem v svoji roki.«
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the high gate that looks toward the north, and each one's axe was in his hand; and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with a long robe down to the feet, and a sapphire girdle was on his loins: and they came in and stood near the brazen altar.
In glej, šest mož je prišlo po poti višjih velikih vrat, ki ležijo proti severu in vsak mož s pokončevalnim orožjem v svoji roki; in en mož izmed njih je bil oblečen z lanenim platnom, s pisarskim rogom, s črnilom ob njegovi strani in vstopili so in obstali poleg bronastega oltarja.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel, that was upon them, went up from the cherubs to the porch of the house. And he called the man that was clothed with the long robe, who had the girdle on his loins;
In slava Izraelovega Boga je odšla gor od keruba, nad katerim je bila, k hišnemu pragu. In zaklical je k možu, oblečenim z lanenim platnom, ki je imel pisarski rog s črnilom ob njegovi strani;
4 And said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them.
in Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi skozi sredino mesta, skozi sredo [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in postavi znamenje na čela ljudi, ki vzdihujejo in ki jokajo zaradi vseh ogabnosti, ki se počno v njeni sredi.«
5 And he said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and smite: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy.
Drugim pa je rekel v mojem slišanju: »Pojdite za njim skozi mesto in udarite. Naj vaše oko ne prizanaša niti ne imejte usmiljenja.
6 Slay utterly old man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go ye not nigh any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in the house.
Popolnoma pobijte stare in mlade, tako device kakor majhne otroke in ženske, toda ne pridite blizu nobenemu človeku, na katerem je znamenje; in začnite pri mojem svetišču.« Potem so začeli pri starodavnih možeh, ki so bili pred hišo.
7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and go out and fill the ways with dead bodies, and smite.
Rekel jim je: »Omadežujte hišo in napolnite dvore z umorjenimi. Pojdite naprej.« In odšli so naprej in morili v mestu.
8 And it came to pass as they were smiting, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Alas, O Lord! wilt thou destroy the remnant of Israel, in pouring out thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
In pripetilo se je, medtem ko so jih pobijali in sem ostal sam, da sem padel na svoj obraz in jokal ter rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Ali boš ves Izraelov preostanek uničil v izlivanju svoje razjarjenosti nad [prestolnico] Jeruzalem?«
9 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Juda is become very exceedingly great: for the land is filled with many nations, and the city is filled with iniquity and uncleanness: because they have said, The Lord has forsaken the earth, The Lord looks not upon [it].
Potem mi je rekel: »Krivičnost Izraelove in Judove hiše je silno velika in dežela je polna krvi in mesto polno perverznosti, kajti pravijo: › Gospod je zapustil zemljo in Gospod ne vidi.‹
10 Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have any mercy: I have recompensed their ways upon their heads.
In tudi kar se mene tiče, moje oko ne bo prizaneslo niti ne bom imel usmiljenja, temveč bom njihovo pot poplačal na njihovi glavi.«
11 And, behold, the man clothed with the long robe, and girt with the girdle about his loins, answered and said, I have done as thou didst command me.
In glej, mož, oblečen z lanenim platnom, ki je imel ob svoji strani pisarski rog s črnilom, je poročal zadevo, rekoč: »Storil sem, kakor si mi zapovedal.«
