Ezekiel 5

1 “And as for you, son of man, obtain for yourself a sharp knife for shaving hair, and you shall take it and draw it across your head and across your beard. And you shall obtain for yourself a balance for weighing, and you shall divide the hair.

»Ti pa, človeški sin, si vzemi oster nož, vzemi si brivčevo britev in ji povzroči, da gre čez tvojo glavo in po tvoji bradi. Potem si vzemi tehtnico, da stehtaš in razdeliš lase.

2 A third part you shall burn with fire in the midst of the city, according to the completion of the days of the siege. And you shall take a third part, and you shall cut it with the knife all around. Yet truly, the other third, you shall scatter to the wind, for I will unsheathe the sword after them.

Z ognjem boš sežgal tretjino v sredi mesta, ko se dopolnijo dnevi obleganja. Vzel boš tretjino in okoli nje udarjal z nožem. Tretjino boš raztrosil v vetru, jaz pa bom za njimi izvlekel meč.

3 And you shall take from there a small number. And you shall bind them in the end of your cloak.

Od teh boš vzel malo po številu in jih povezal v krajce svojega oblačila.

4 And again, you shall take from them, and you shall throw them into the midst of the fire, and you shall burn them with fire. And from it, there shall go forth a fire to the entire house of Israel.”

Potem ponovno vzemi od teh in jih vrzi v sredo ognja in jih sežgi v ognju, kajti od teh bo prišel ogenj v vso Izraelovo hišo.«

5 Thus says the Lord God: “This is Jerusalem. I have placed her in the midst of the Gentiles and of the lands all around her.

Tako govori Gospod Bog: »To je [prestolnica] Jeruzalem. Postavil sem jo v sredo narodov in dežel, ki so naokoli nje.

6 And she has despised my judgments, so as to be more impious than the Gentiles, and my precepts, more so than the lands that are all around her. For they have cast aside my judgments, and they have not walked in my precepts.”

Moje sodbe je spremenila v zlobnost bolj kakor narodi in moje zakone bolj kakor dežele, ki so okoli nje, kajti zavrnili so moje sodbe in moje zakone; niso hodili v njih.«

7 For this reason, thus says the Lord God: “Since you have surpassed the Gentiles who are all around you, and have not walked in my precepts, and have not accomplished my judgments, and have not even acted in accord with the judgments of the Gentiles who are all around you:

Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Ker ste se pomnožili bolj kakor narodi, ki so okoli vas in niste hodili po mojih zakonih niti se niste držali mojih sodb niti niste delali glede na sodbe narodov, ki so naokoli vas, «

8 therefore, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, and I myself will accomplish judgments in your midst, in the sight of the Gentiles.

zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej jaz, celo jaz, sem zoper tebe in v tvoji sredi bom izvršil sodbe pred očmi narodov.

9 And I will do in you what I have not done before, and the likes of which I will not do again, because of all your abominations.

V tebi bom storil to, česar nisem storil in ne bom več storil temu podobnega, zaradi vseh tvojih ogabnosti.

10 Therefore, the fathers shall consume the sons in your midst, and the sons shall consume their fathers. And I will execute judgments in you, and I will winnow your entire remnant in every wind.

Zato bodo v tvoji sredi očetje jedli sinove in sinovi bodo jedli svoje očete. Izvršil bom sodbe v tebi in tvoj celotni preostanek bom razkropil na vse vetrove.

11 Therefore, as I myself live says the Lord God, because you have violated my sanctuary with all your offenses and with all your abominations, I also will break into pieces, and my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity.

Zato, kakor jaz živim, « govori Gospod Bog, »zagotovo, ker si moje svetišče omadeževala z vsemi svojimi ostudnimi stvarmi in z vsemi svojimi ogabnostmi, zato bom tudi jaz tebe zmanjšal; niti moje oko ne bo prizaneslo, niti ne bom imel nobenega usmiljenja.

12 One third part of you will die by pestilence or be consumed by famine in your midst. And one third part of you will fall by the sword all around you. Yet truly, one third part of you I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe the sword after them.

Tvoja tretjina bo umrla s kužno boleznijo in z lakoto bodo použiti v tvoji sredi. Tretjina bo padla pod mečem naokoli tebe, tretjino pa bom razkropil na vse vetrove in za njimi bom izvlekel meč.

13 And I will fulfill my fury, and I will cause my indignation to rest upon them, and I will be consoled. And they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my zeal, when I will have fulfilled my indignation in them.

Tako bo moja jeza dovršena in svoji razjarjenosti bom povzročil, da počiva nad njimi, jaz pa bom potolažen. Oni pa bodo vedeli, da sem jaz, Gospod, to govoril v svoji gorečnosti, ko sem svojo razjarjenost dovršil v njih.

14 And I will make you desolate, and a disgrace among the Gentiles, who are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.

Poleg tega te bom naredil opustošenje in grajo med narodi, ki so naokoli tebe, pred očmi vseh, ki hodijo mimo.

15 And you shall be a disgrace and a blasphemy, an example and an astonishment, among the Gentiles, who are all around you, when I will have executed judgments in you, in fury and in indignation and with rebukes of wrath.

Tako bo to graja in zbadljivka, poučevanje in osuplost narodom, ki so naokoli tebe, ko bom v tebi izvršil sodbe v jezi, v razjarjenosti in v besnih ukorih. Jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.

16 I, the Lord, have spoken. At that time, I will send among them the most grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send so that I may destroy you. And I will gather a famine over you, and I will crush the staff of bread among you.

Ko bom nanje poslal zle puščice lakote, ki bodo za njihovo uničenje in ki jih bom poslal, da vas uničijo; in jaz bom razširil lakoto nad vami in zlomil vašo oporo kruha.

17 And I will send among you famine and very harmful beasts, even unto utter ruin. And pestilence and blood shall pass through you. And I will bring the sword over you. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

Tako bom nad vas poslal lakoto in zle živali in te te bodo oropale in kužna bolezen in kri bosta šla skozte in nadte bom privedel meč. Jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.«
