Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
K meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 “Son of man, propose an enigma and describe a parable to the house of Israel,
»Človeški sin, zastavi uganko in Izraelovi hiši spregovori prispodobo
3 and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: A large eagle, with great wings and elongated pinions, full of feathers with many colors, came to Lebanon. And he took the kernel of the cedar.
in reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Velik orel, z velikimi perutmi, z dolgimi krili, polnimi peres, ki ima različne barve, je prišel k Libanonu in vzel najvišjo cedrovo mladiko.
4 He tore off the summit of its branches, and he transported it to the land of Canaan; he placed it in a city of merchants.
Odstrigel je vrh njenih mladih vej in ga prenesel v deželo preprodajanja; postavil ga je v mestu trgovcev.
5 And he took from the seed of the land and placed it in the ground for seed, so that it might take firm root above many waters; he placed it at the surface.
Prav tako je vzel od semena dežele in ga zasadil na rodovitno polje. Namestil ga je ob velikih vodah in ga postavil kakor drevo vrbe.
6 And when it had germinated, it increased into a more extensive vine, low in height, with its branches facing toward itself. And its roots were underneath it. And so, it became a vine, and sprouted branches, and produced shoots.
To je raslo in postalo razraščajoča se trta nizke rasti, čigar mladike so se obrnile proti njemu in njene korenine so bile pod njim. Tako je postala trta in obrodila mladike in poganjala vejice.
7 And there was another large eagle, with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine seemed to bend its roots towards him, extending its branches toward him, so that he might irrigate it from the garden of its germination.
Tam je bil tudi drug velik orel, z velikimi perutmi in mnogimi peresi. In glej, ta trta je svoje korenine upognila proti njemu in svoje mladike poganjala proti njemu, da bi jo ta lahko zalival pri brazdah njenega nasada.
8 It had been planted in a good land, above many waters, so that it would produce branches and bear fruit, so that it would become a large vine.
Zasajena je bila v dobri zemlji, ob velikih vodah, da bi lahko pognala mladike in da bi lahko obrodila sad, da bi bila lahko čedna trta.‹
9 Speak: Thus says the Lord God: What if it does not prosper? Should he not pull up its roots, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches that it has produced, and let it wither, though he is without a strong arm and without many people to pull it up by the root?
Reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali bo ta uspevala? Ali ji ne bo izruval njenih korenin in odrezal njen sad, da ovene? Ovenela bo pri vseh listih njenega izvira, celo brez velike moči ali mnogih ljudstev, da bi jo izruvali pri njenih koreninah.
10 Behold, it has been planted. What if it does not prosper? Should it not be dried up when the burning wind touches it, and should it not wither in the garden of its germination?”
Da, glej, ko je vsajena, ali bo uspevala? Ali ne bo popolnoma ovenela, ko se je dotakne vzhodnik? Ovenela bo na brazdah, kjer je zrasla.‹«
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
12 “Say to the provoking house: Do you not know what these things signify? Say: Behold, the king of Babylon arrives in Jerusalem. And he will take away its king and princes, and he will lead them away to himself in Babylon.
»Reci torej uporni hiši: ›Mar ne veste kaj pomenijo te stvari?‹ Povej jim: ›Glejte, babilonski kralj je prišel v [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in zajel njenega kralja in njene prince in jih s seboj odvedel v Babilon
13 And he will take one from the offspring of the king, and he will strike a pact with him and receive an oath from him. Moreover, he will take away the strong ones of the land,
in zajel od kraljevega semena in z njim sklenil zavezo in od njega vzel prisego. Prav tako je zajel mogočneže dežele,
14 so that it may be a lowly kingdom, and may not lift itself up, and may instead keep his pact and serve it.
da bi bilo kraljestvo lahko ponižano, da se ne bi povzdigovalo, temveč da bi z ohranjanjem njegove zaveze lahko obstalo.
15 But, withdrawing from him, he sent messengers to Egypt, so that it would give him horses and many people. Should he who has done these things prosper and obtain safety? And should he who has broken the pact go free?
Toda ta se je uprl zoper njega s pošiljanjem svojih predstavnikov v Egipt, da bi mu lahko dali konje in veliko ljudstva. Ali bo uspel? Ali bo pobegnil ta, ki dela takšne stvari? Mar bo prelomil zavezo in bo osvobojen?
16 As I live, says the Lord God, in the place of the king, who appointed him as king, whose oath he has made void, and whose pact he has broken, under which he was living with him, in the midst of Babylon, he shall die.
Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bo na kraju, kjer prebiva kralj, ki ga je postavil [za] kralja, čigar prisego je preziral in čigar zavezo je prelomil, celó pri njem bo umrl v sredi Babilona.
17 And not with a great army, nor with many people will Pharaoh undertake a battle against him, when he will cast up ramparts and build defenses, in order to put to death many souls.
Niti ne bo faraon s svojo mogočno vojsko in svojim velikim spremstvom delal zanj v vojni, s postavljanjem okopov in gradnjo trdnjav, da iztrebi mnogo oseb,
18 For he has despised an oath, in that he broke the pact. And behold, he had given his hand. And so, since he has done all these things, he shall not escape.
ker je preziral prisego s prelamljanjem zaveze, ko je, glej, dal svojo roko in [vendar] storil vse te stvari; ne bo pobegnil.‹
19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: As I live, I will place upon his head the oath that he has spurned and the pact that he has betrayed.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: › Kakor jaz živim, zagotovo bo meni dano prisego, ki jo je preziral in mojo zavezo, ki jo je prelomil, celo to bom poplačal na njegovi lastni glavi.
20 And I will spread my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him into Babylon, and I will judge him there for the transgression by which he has despised me.
Svojo mrežo bom razširil nad njim in ujet bo v mojo zanko in privedel ga bom v Babilon in tam se bom z njim pravdal zaradi njegovega prekrška, ki ga je prekršil zoper mene.
21 And all his fugitives, with all his procession, will fall by the sword. Then the remainder will be scattered into every wind. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Vsi njegovi ubežniki, z vsemi njegovimi četami, bodo padli pod mečem, tisti pa, ki preostanejo, bodo razkropljeni proti vsem vetrovom. In vedeli boste, da sem jaz, Gospod, to govoril.‹
22 Thus says the Lord God: “I myself will take from the kernel of the exalted cedar, and I will establish it. I will tear off a tender twig from the top of its branches, and I will plant it on a mountain, lofty and exalted.
Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Prav tako bom vzel od najvišje mladike na visoki cedri in jo bom posadil; od vrha njenih mladih vejic bom odstrigel eno nežno in jo zasadil na visoki in eminentni gori.
23 On the sublime mountains of Israel, I will plant it. And it shall spring forth in buds and bear fruit, and it shall be a great cedar. And all the birds will live under it, and every bird will make its nest under the shadow of its branches.
Na gori Izraelove višine jo bom zasadil in pognala bo veje in obrodila sad in postane čedna cedra. Pod njo bo prebivala vsa perjad od vsakega krila; v senci njenih mladik bodo prebivale.
24 And all the trees of the regions will know that I, the Lord, have brought low the sublime tree, and have exalted the lowly tree, and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I, the Lord, have spoken and acted.”
Vsa drevesa polja bodo vedela, da sem jaz, Gospod, ponižal visoko drevo, povišal nizko drevo, posušil zeleno drevo in suhemu drevesu storil, da cveti. Jaz, Gospod, sem govoril in sem to storil.‹«
