Ezekiel 11

1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east-gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes 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 Then said he to me, Son of man, these [are] the men that devise mischief, and give 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 Who say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the caldron, and we [are] the flesh.

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 said to me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, [every one of] them.

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 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled its streets with the slain.

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

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they [are] the flesh, and this [city is] the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

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 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the LORD GOD.

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

9 And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

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

10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye 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] shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it; [but] I will judge you in the border 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 ye shall know that I [am] the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that [are] 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 came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end 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 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

15 Son of man, thy brethren, [even] thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, [are] they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Retire far from the LORD: to us is this land given in 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 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

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 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

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 come thither, and they shall take away from thence all its detestable things, and all its abominations.

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 put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and 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 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall 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 them] whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith 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 Then the cherubim raised their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.

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 went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which [is] on the east side of the city.

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

24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up 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 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.

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