< Jezekiel 33 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
»Človeški sin, spregovori otrokom svojega ljudstva in jim reci: ›Ko privedem meč nad deželo, če ljudstvo dežele vzame človeka iz svojih obal in ga postavi za svojega stražarja.
3 and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
Če ta zatrobi na šofar in posvari ljudstvo, kadar vidi nad deželo prihajati meč;
4 and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
potem kdorkoli sliši zvok šofarja in ne sprejme svarila; če pride meč in ga vzame, bo njegova kri na njegovi lastni glavi.
5 Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
Slišal je zvok šofarja in ni sprejel svarila; njegova kri bo nad njim. Toda kdor sprejme svarilo, bo rešil svojo dušo.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from amongst them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
Toda če stražar vidi prihajati meč, pa ne zatrobi na šofar in ljudstvo ni posvarjeno, če pride meč in vzame kateregakoli človeka izmed njih, je ta odvzet v svoji krivičnosti; toda njegovo kri bom zahteval iz stražarjeve roke.
7 And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
Tako sem tebe, oh človeški sin, postavil [za] stražarja Izraelovi hiši; zato boš slišal besedo pri mojih ustih in jih posvaril v mojem imenu.
8 When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Ko rečem zlobnemu: ›Oh zlobni človek, zagotovo boš umrl; ‹ če ne spregovoriš, da zlobnega posvariš pred njegovo potjo, bo ta zloben človek umrl v svoji krivičnosti, toda njegovo kri bom zahteval pri tvoji roki.
9 But if you forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
Vendar če posvariš zlobnega o njegovi poti, da se odvrne od nje; če se ta ne odvrne iz svoje poti, bo umrl v svoji krivičnosti; toda ti si rešil svojo dušo.
10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
Zato, oh ti, človeški sin, spregovori Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govorite, rekoč: ›Če so naši prestopki in naši grehi nad nami in v njih hiramo, kako bi potem živeli?‹
11 Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
Reci jim: › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nobenega zadovoljstva nimam v smrti zlobnega; temveč, da se zlobni odvrne od svoje poti in živi. Obrnite se, obrnite se od svojih zlih poti; kajti zakaj hočete umreti, oh hiša Izraelova?‹
12 Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
Zato ti, človeški sin, reci otrokom svojega ljudstva: ›Pravičnost pravičnega ga ne bo rešila na dan njegovega prestopka. Glede zlobnosti zlobnega, on s tem ne bo padel na dan, ko se obrne od svoje zlobnosti; niti pravični ne bo zmožen živeti po svoji pravičnosti na dan, ko greši.
13 When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
Ko bom rekel pravičnemu, da bo zagotovo živel; če ta zaupa svoji lastni pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost, se vse njegove pravičnosti ne bo spominjalo; toda zaradi svoje krivičnosti, ki jo je zagrešil, bo zaradi nje umrl.‹
14 And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgement and justice,
Ponovno, kadar rečem zlobnemu: ›Ti boš zagotovo umrl; ‹ če se ta obrne od svojega greha in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno;
15 and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.
če zlobni povrne jamstvo, ponovno da, kar je naropal, se ravna po zakonih življenja, ne da bi zagrešil krivičnost; zagotovo bo živel, ne bo umrl.
16 None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgement and righteousness; by them shall he live.
Nobeden izmed njegovih grehov, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bo omenjen. Storil je to, kar je zakonito in pravilno; zagotovo bo živel.‹
17 Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
Vendar otroci tvojega ljudstva pravijo: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Toda kar se tiče njih, njihova pot ni enakovredna.
18 When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
Ko se pravični obrne od svoje pravičnosti in grešno zagreši krivičnost, bo s tem torej umrl.
19 And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgement and righteousness, he shall live by them.
Toda če se zlobni odvrne od svoje zlobnosti in počne to, kar je zakonito in pravilno, bo s tem živel.
20 And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Oh vi, hiša Izraelova, vsakogar bom sodil po njegovih poteh.‹«
21 And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
In pripetilo se je v dvanajstem letu našega ujetništva, v desetem mesecu, na peti dan meseca, da je tisti, ki je pobegnil iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, prišel k meni, rekoč: »Mesto je udarjeno.«
22 Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
Torej Gospodova roka je bila nad menoj zvečer, prej, preden je prišel ta, ki je pobegnil. Odprl je moja usta, dokler ni oni zjutraj prišel k meni; in moja usta so bila odprta in nisem bil več nem.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
24 Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
»Človeški sin, tisti, ki poseljujejo opustošenosti dežele Izrael, govorijo, rekoč: ›Abraham je bil en in je podedoval deželo, toda nas je mnogo. Dežela nam je dana v dediščino.‹
Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vi jeste s krvjo in svoje oči povzdigujete k svojim malikom in prelivate kri; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?
Stojite na svojem meču, počnete ogabnost in omadežujete, vsak ženo svojega soseda; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?‹
27 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
Tako jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: › Kakor jaz živim, zagotovo bodo tisti, ki so v opustošenostih, padli pod mečem in kdor je na odprtem polju, ga bom izročil živalim, da bo požrt in tisti, ki so v utrdbah in votlinah, bodo umrli od kužne bolezni.
28 And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.
Kajti jaz bom deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno in pomp njene moči bo prenehal; in gore Izraelove bodo zapuščene, da nihče ne bo šel čeznje.
29 And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
Potem bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno zaradi vseh njihovih ogabnosti, ki so jih zagrešili.
30 And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.
Tudi ti, človeški sin, otroci tvojega ljudstva še vedno govorijo zoper tebe pri zidovih in v vratih hiš in drug drugemu govorijo, vsak svojemu bratu, rekoč: ›Pridi, prosim te in poslušaj, kakšna je beseda, ki prihaja od Gospoda.‹
31 They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
In k tebi pridejo kakor prihajajo ljudje in sedijo pred teboj kakor moje ljudstvo in slišijo tvoje besede, toda nočejo jih izpolnjevati, kajti s svojimi usti so pokazali mnogo ljubezni, toda njihovo srce gre za njihovo pohlepnostjo.
32 And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
In glej, ti si jim kakor zelo očarljiva pesem nekoga, ki ima prijeten glas in lahko dobro igra na glasbilo, kajti slišijo tvoje besede, toda po njih se ne ravnajo.
33 But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
In ko se to zgodi (glej, to bo prišlo), potem bodo vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.‹«
