Ezekiel 5

1 Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cutting instrument, a barber’s razor, shalt thou take thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin, —and shalt take the balances for weighing, and shalt 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 in the fire, shalt thou burn in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled, —and thou shalt take a third part, thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it, and a third part, shalt thou scatter to the wind, and, a sword, will I, make bare 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 thou shalt take from thence, a few in number, —and shalt bind them in thy skirts;

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

4 and of them, again take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire, -therefrom, shall go forth a fire unto all the 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, saith My Lord, Yahweh, This, is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations, I placed her, — and of the countries round about her;

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

6 But she hath changed my regulations into lawlessness, more than the nations, And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her, For my regulations, have they rejected, And in my statutes, have they not walked.

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 Therefore, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh. Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you, In my statutes, have not walked. And my regulations, have not done, And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you, have not done:

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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I am against thee, even I, Therefore will I, execute in thy midst, judgments, in the eyes of the nations;

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

9 Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed, And like unto which I will not execute again, - Because of all thine abominations.

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

10 Therefore, fathers will eat sons in thy midst, And sons will eat fathers, — And I will execute upon thee judgments, And will scatter the whole remnant of thee, to 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 live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, — Surely because my sanctuary, thou hast defiled, with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations Even I also, will cut off, and mine eye, shall not spare, Yea even I will not 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 The third part of thee by pestilence, shall die, and by famine, be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword, shall fall round about thee, - And the third part to every wind, will I scatter, and a sword, will I make bare 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 So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation, to find rest, upon them, and will console myself, - And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, upon 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 deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, —in the eyes of every passer-by.

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

15 So shall it become a reproach and an insult a warning and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, —in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:

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 In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, —and famine, will I increase upon you, and will break for you the staff of bread.

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 So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee, —and pestilence and blood, shall pass through thee, —and a sword, will I bring in upon thee, I Yahweh, 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.«
