Ezekiel 11

1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me to the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looks toward the rising of the sun. And behold, at the entrance to the gate were twenty-five men. And I saw, in their midst, Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

Poleg tega me je duh dvignil navzgor in me privedel k vzhodnim velikim vratom Gospodove hiše, ki so gledala proti vzhodu. Glej, pri vratih velikih vrat sem zagledal petindvajset mož; med njimi sem videl Jaazanjá, Azúrjevega sina in Pelatjája, Benajájevega sina, princa ljudstva.

2 And he said to me: “Son of man, these are men who devise iniquity. And they offer a wicked counsel in this city,

Potem mi je rekel: »Človeški sin, to so možje, ki snujejo vragolijo in dajejo zloben nasvet v tem mestu,

3 saying: ‘Was it so long ago that houses were being built? This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.’

ki pravijo: › To ni blizu; dajmo, gradimo hiše; to mesto je kotel in mi smo meso.‹

4 Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.”

Zato prerokuj zoper njih, prerokuj, oh človeški sin.«

5 And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me: “Speak: Thus says the Lord: So have you spoken, O house of Israel. And I know the thoughts of your heart.

In Gospodov Duh je padel name ter mi rekel: »Govori: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Tako ste rekli, oh Izraelova hiša; kajti poznam besede, ki pridejo v vaš um, vsako izmed njih.

6 You have killed very many in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.

Pomnožili ste svoje umorjene v tem mestu in njegove ulice ste napolnili z umorjenimi.‹

7 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have placed in its midst, these are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. And I will draw you out of its midst.

Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vaši umorjeni, ki ste jih položili v njegovi sredi, oni so meso in to mesto je kotel, toda jaz vas bom privedel iz njegove srede.

8 You have dread the sword, and so I will lead the sword over you, says the Lord God.

Bali ste se meča; pa bom nad vas privedel meč, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.

9 And I will cast you out of its midst, and I will give you over to the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments among you.

›Privedel vas bom iz njegove srede in vas izročil v roke tujcem in med vami bom izvršil sodbe.

10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

Pod mečem boste padli; sodil vas bom na Izraelovi meji, in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.

11 This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not be like meat in its midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.

To mesto ne bo vaš kotel niti ne boste meso v njegovi sredi; temveč vas bom jaz sodil na Izraelovi meji

12 And you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my precepts, and you have not accomplished my judgments. Instead, you have acted in accord with the judgments of the Gentiles, who are all around you.”

in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod, kajti niste živeli po mojih zakonih niti izvrševali mojih sodb, temveč ste počeli po navadah poganov, ki so naokoli vas.‹«

13 And it happened that, when I prophesied, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. And I fell upon my face, and I cried out with a loud voice, and I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you cause the consummation of the remnant of Israel?”

In pripetilo se je, ko sem prerokoval, da je Benajájev sin Pelatjája umrl. Potem sem padel na svoj obraz in jokal z močnim glasom ter rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Ali hočeš narediti popoln konec Izraelovemu preostanku?«

14 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

15 “Son of man, your brothers, the men among your close relatives, your brothers and the entire house of Israel, are all among those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: ‘Withdraw far from the Lord; the earth has been given to us as a possession.’

»Človeški sin, tvoji bratje, celó tvoji bratje, možje tvojega sorodstva in vsa celotna Izraelova hiša, ali so oni tisti, ki so jim prebivalci [prestolnice] Jeruzalem rekli: ›Spravite se daleč od Gospoda. Nam je dana ta dežela v posest.‹

16 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since I have caused them to be far away, among the Gentiles, and since I have dispersed them among the lands, I will be a little sanctuary for them within the lands to which they have gone.

Zato reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Čeprav sem jih vrgel daleč proč med pogane in čeprav sem jih razkropil med dežele, vendar jim bom kakor majhno svetišče v deželah, v katere bodo prišli.‹

17 Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and I will unite you, from the lands into which you were dispersed, and I will give the soil of Israel to you.

Zato reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Jaz vas bom celo zbral izmed ljudstev in vas zbral izmed dežel, kamor ste bili razkropljeni in jaz vam bom dal Izraelovo deželo.

18 And they shall go to that place, and they shall remove all the offenses and all its abominations from that place.

In prišli bodo tja in od tam bodo odvzeli vse njene ostudne stvari in vse njene ogabnosti.

19 And I will give them one heart. And I will distribute a new spirit to their interior. And I will take away the heart of stone from their body. And I will give them a heart of flesh.

Dal jim bom eno srce in znotraj vas bom položil novega duha; in odvzel bom kamnito srce iz njihovega mesa in jim dal meseno srce,

20 So may they may walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them. And so may they be my people, and I will be their God.

da se bodo lahko ravnali po mojih zakonih in se držali mojih odredb in jih izvajali in bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom njihov Bog.

21 But as for those whose heart walks after their offenses and abominations, I will set their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”

Toda glede tistih, čigar srce hodi za srcem njihovih ostudnih stvari in njihovih ogabnosti, bom njihovo pot poplačal na njihovih lastnih glavah, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.«

22 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

Potem so kerubi dvignili svoje peruti in kolesa poleg njih; in slava Izraelovega Boga je bila zgoraj nad njimi.

23 And the glory of the Lord ascended from the midst of the city and stood above the mountain, which is to the east of the city.

In Gospodova slava se je vzdignila iz srede mesta in se ustavila nad goro, ki je na vzhodni strani mesta.

24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me into Chaldea, to those of the transmigration, in a vision, in the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen was raised up, away from me.

Potem me je duh vzel gor in me v videnju, po Božjem Duhu, privedel v Kaldejo, k tem iz ujetništva. Tako se je videnje, ki sem ga videl, dvignilo od mene.

25 And I spoke, to those of the transmigration, all the words of the Lord that he had revealed to me.

Potem sem tistim iz ujetništva, spregovoril vse stvari, ki mi jih je Gospod pokazal.
