Ezekiel 3

1 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

Poleg tega mi je rekel: »Človeški sin, jej, kar najdeš. Pojej ta zvitek in pojdi, govori Izraelovi hiši.«

2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

Tako sem odprl svoja usta in dal mi je, da sem pojedel ta zvitek.

3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, stôri svojemu trebuhu, da jé in svojo notranjost napolni s tem zvitkom, ki ti ga dajem.« Potem sem to pojedel in v mojih ustih je bil zaradi sladkosti kakor med.

4 And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, pojdi, stopi k Izraelovi hiši in jim govori z mojimi besedami.

5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;

Kajti nisi poslan k ljudstvu tujega govora in trdega jezika, temveč k Izraelovi hiši,

6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.

ne k mnogim ljudstvom tujega govora in trdega jezika, katerih besed ne moreš razumeti. Zagotovo, če bi te poslal k njim, bi ti prisluhnili.

7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hard-hearted.

Toda Izraelova hiša ti ne bo hotela prisluhniti, kajti nočejo mi prisluhniti, kajti vsa Izraelova hiša je predrzna in trdosrčna.

8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

Glej, tvoj obraz sem otrdil zoper njihove obraze in tvoje čelo zoper njihova čela.

9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.

Kakor je diamant trši kakor kremen, [tako] sem naredil tvoje čelo. Ne boj se jih niti ne bodi zaprepaden ob njihovih pogledih, kajti uporna hiša so.«

10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.

Poleg tega mi je rekel: »Človeški sin, vse moje besede, ki ti jih bom govoril, sprejmi v svoje srce in poslušaj s svojimi ušesi.

11 And depart, go to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

Pojdi, stopi k tistim iz ujetništva, k otrokom svojega ljudstva in jim govori ter jim povej: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog, bodisi bodo poslušali ali bodisi se bodo zadržali.‹«

12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place.

Potem me je duh vzel gor in za seboj sem zaslišal glas velikega hitenja, rekoč: »Blagoslovljena bodi Gospodova slava iz njegovega kraja.«

13 [I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and the noise of a great rushing.

Slišal sem tudi šum peruti živih ustvarjenih bitij, ki so se dotikala druga druge in hrup koles nasproti njih in šum velikega hitenja.

14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

Tako me je duh dvignil in me odnesel in šel sem v grenkobi, v vročici svojega duha, toda Gospodova roka je bila močna nad menoj.

15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Kebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

Potem sem prišel k tistim iz ujetništva pri Tel Abíbu, ki prebivajo pri reki Kebár in se usedel, kjer so sedeli in osupel ostal tam med njimi sedem dni.

16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Pripetilo se je ob koncu sedmih dni, da je k meni prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

»Človeški sin, naredil sem te stražarja Izraelovi hiši, zato poslušaj besedo pri mojih ustih in jim daj svarilo od mene.

18 When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

Ko rečem zlobnemu: ›Gotovo boš umrl, ‹ pa mu ne daješ svarila niti ne govoriš, da zlobnega posvariš pred njegovo zlobno potjo, da bi rešil njegovo življenje, bo ta isti zlobni človek umrl v svoji krivičnosti, toda njegovo kri bom zahteval iz tvoje roke.

19 Yet if thou shalt warn the wicked, and he shall not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Vendar če posvariš zlobnega, pa se ta ne odvrne od svoje zlobnosti niti od svoje zlobne poti, bo umrl v svoji krivičnosti, toda ti si osvobodil svojo dušo.«

20 Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

Ponovno: »Kadar se pravičen človek odvrne od svoje pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost in predenj položim kamen spotike, bo umrl; ker mu nisi dal svarila, bo umrl v svojem grehu in njegove pravičnosti, ki jo je storil, se ne bo spominjalo, temveč bom njegovo kri zahteval iz tvoje roke.

21 Nevertheless if thou shalt warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Vendar če posvariš pravičnega človeka, da pravični ne greši in ta ne greši, bo zagotovo živel, ker je posvarjen; tudi ti si osvobodil svojo dušo.«

22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

Tam je bila nad menoj Gospodova roka in rekel mi je: »Vstani, pojdi naprej na ravnino in tam bom govoril s teboj.«

23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain; and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Kebar: and I fell on my face.

Potem sem vstal in odšel naprej na ravnino. Glej, tam je stala Gospodova slava kakor slava, ki sem jo videl pri reki Kebár, in padel sem na svoj obraz.

24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.

Potem je vame vstopil duh in me postavil na moja stopala in spregovoril z menoj ter mi rekel: »Pojdi, zapri se znotraj svoje hiše.

25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

Toda ti, oh človeški sin, glej, nate bodo dali vezi in te zvezali z njimi in ne boš šel ven mednje,

26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they [are] a rebellious house.

jaz pa bom tvoj jezik prilepil k nebu tvojih ust, da boš nem in jim ne boš grajavec, kajti uporna hiša so.

27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.

Toda ko jaz spregovorim s teboj, bom odprl tvoja usta in ti jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Kdor posluša, naj sliši, in kdor se zadrži, naj se zadržuje, kajti uporna hiša so.‹«
