Ezekiel 20

1 In pripetilo se je v sedmem letu, v petem mesecu, deseti dan meseca, da so določeni izmed Izraelovih starešin prišli, da bi povpraševali od Gospoda in se usedli pred menoj.

It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.

2 Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

3 »Človeški sin, govori Izraelovim starešinam in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste prišli, da povprašujete od mene? Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nočem biti povpraševan od vas.

"Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you."'

4 Ali jih hočeš soditi, človeški sin, ali jih hočeš soditi? Povzroči jim, da spoznajo ogabnosti njihovih očetov

Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;

5 in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Na dan, ko sem izbral Izraela in dvignil svojo roko k semenu Jakobove hiše in se jim dal spoznati v egiptovski deželi, ko sem vzdignil svojo roko k njim, rekoč: ›Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ‹

and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, 'I am Jehovah your God';

6 na dan, ko sem vzdignil svojo roko k njim, da jih privedem iz egiptovske dežele v deželo, ki sem jo odkril zanje, tekočo z mlekom in medom, ki je slava vseh dežel.

in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.

7 Potem sem jim rekel: ›Vsak mož naj odvrže ogabnosti svojih oči in ne omadežujte se z egiptovskimi maliki.‹ Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹

I said to them, 'Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God.'

8 ›Toda uprli so se zoper mene in me niso hoteli poslušati. Noben mož ni odvrgel ogabnosti svojih oči niti niso zapustili egiptovskih malikov. Tedaj sem rekel: ›Nanje bom izlil svojo razjarjenost, da dovršim svojo jezo zoper njih v sredi egiptovske dežele.

But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn't throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, med katerimi so bili, v čigar pogledu sem se jim dal spoznati v tem, da sem jih privedel iz egiptovske dežele.

But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

10 Zatorej sem jim velel, da gredo iz egiptovske dežele in jih privedel v divjino.

"'"So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

11 In dal sem jim svoje zakone in jim pokazal svoje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih.

I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.

12 Poleg tega sem jim dal tudi svoje šabate, da bodo znamenje med menoj in njimi, da bodo lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ki jih posvečujem.

Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

13 Toda Izraelova hiša se je uprla zoper mene v divjini. Niso hodili po mojih zakonih in prezirali so moje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih; in moje šabate so silno oskrunili. Potem sem rekel: ›V divjini bom nadnje izlil svojo razjarjenost, da jih použije.

But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

14 Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, v katerem pogledu sem jih privedel ven.

But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

15 Vendar sem prav tako vzdignil svojo roko k njim v divjini, da jih ne bom privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo dal, tekočo z mlekom in medom, katera je slava vseh dežel;

"'"Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the most beautiful of all lands;

16 zato ker so prezirali moje sodbe in niso hodili po mojih zakonih, temveč so oskrunili moje šabate, kajti njihovo srce je šlo za njihovimi maliki.

because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

17 Kljub temu jim je moje oko prizaneslo pred tem, da bi jih uničil niti jim v divjini nisem storil konca.

Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

18 Temveč sem njihovim otrokom v divjini rekel: ›Ne hodite po zakonih svojih očetov niti ne obeležujte njihovih sodb niti se ne omadežujte z njihovimi maliki.

"'"I said to their children in the wilderness, 'Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

19 Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ravnajte se po mojih zakonih in držite se mojih sodb in jih izvršujte;

I am Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;

20 in posvečujte moje šabate; in te bodo znamenje med menoj in vami, da boste lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹

and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Jehovah your God.'

21 Vendar so se otroci uprli zoper mene. Niso se ravnali po mojih zakonih niti se niso ravnali po mojih sodbah, da bi jih izpolnjevali, katere, če človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel po njih; oskrunjali so moje šabate. Potem sem rekel: ›Nadnje bom izlil svojo razjarjenost, da dovršim svojo jezo zoper njih v divjini.‹

But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

22 Kljub temu sem umaknil svojo roko in zaradi svojega imena storil, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred očmi poganov, v čigar očeh sem jih izpeljal.

Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

23 V divjini sem prav tako svojo roko vzdignil k njim, da bi jih razkropil med pogane in jih razpršil skozi dežele;

Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

24 ker niso izvrševali mojih sodb, temveč so prezirali moje zakone in skrunili moje šabate in njihove oči so bile za maliki njihovih očetov.

because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

25 Zatorej sem jim prav tako izročil zakone, ki niso bili dobri in sodbe, po katerih naj ne bi živeli;

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;

26 in oskrunil sem jih v njihovih lastnih darovih, s tem, da so počeli, da gre skozi ogenj vse, kar odpre maternico, da bi jih lahko naredil zapuščene, z namenom, da bi lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod.‹

and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah."'

27 Zatorej, človeški sin, govori Izraelovi hiši in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vendar so vaši očetje proti meni izrekali bogokletje v tem, da so zagrešili prekršek zoper mene.

"Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

28 Kajti ko sem jih privedel v deželo, za katero sem vzdignil svojo roko, da jim jo dam, takrat so videli vsak visok hrib in vsa debela drevesa in tam so darovali svoje klavne daritve in tam so predstavljali izzivanje svojega daru. Tam so tudi naredili svoje prijetne dišave in tam so izlivali svoje pitne daritve.‹

For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.

29 Potem sem jim rekel: ›Kaj je visok kraj, kamor greste?‹ In njegovo ime je imenovano Bama do današnjega dne.

Then I said to them, 'What does the high place where you go mean?' So its name is called Bamah to this day."'

30 Zato reci Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste oskrunjeni po načinu svojih očetov? In grešite vlačugarstvo po njihovih ogabnostih?

"Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you play the prostitute after their abominations?

31 Kajti ko darujete svoje darove, ko svojim sinovom povzročate, da gredo skozi ogenj, same sebe oskrunjate z vsemi svojimi maliki, celo do današnjega dne. In ali naj bom povpraševan od vas, oh Izraelova hiša? Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nočem biti povpraševan od vas.

And when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you;

32 In to, kar prihaja v vaše misli, sploh ne bo, da pravite: ›Mi bomo kakor pogani, kakor družine dežel, da služimo lesu in kamnu.‹

and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, 'We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.'

33 › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bom z mogočno roko in z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo vladal nad vami

As I live," says Jehovah, "surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:

34 in vas izpeljem izmed ljudstva in vas zberem iz dežel, po katerih ste razkropljeni, z mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo.

and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;

35 In jaz vas bom privedel v divjino ljudstev in tam se bom pravdal z vami iz obličja v obličje.

and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.

36 Podobno kakor sem se pravdal z vašimi očeti v divjini egiptovske dežele, tako se bom pravdal z vami, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.

Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you," says Jehovah.

37 ›In povzročil vam bom, da boste šli pod palico in privedel vas bom v vez zaveze

"I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

38 in izmed vas bom očistil upornike in tiste, ki so odpadli zoper mene. Izpeljal jih bom iz dežele, kjer začasno prebivajo in ne bodo vstopili v Izraelovo deželo in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.

and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Jehovah."

39 Glede vas, oh Izraelova hiša, ‹ tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Pojdite, služite vsak svojim malikom in tudi v prihodnje, če mi nočete prisluhniti. Toda ne skrunite več mojega svetega imena s svojimi darovi in svojimi maliki.

"'As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Jehovah: "Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.

40 Kajti na moji sveti gori, na gori Izraelove višine, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›tam mi bo [služila] vsa Izraelova hiša, vsi izmed njih v deželi mi [bodo] služili. Tam jih bom sprejel in tam bom zahteval vaše daritve in prve sadove vaših daritev, z vsemi vašimi svetimi stvarmi.

For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel," says Jehovah, "there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

41 Sprejel vas bom z vašim prijetnim vonjem, ko vas odvedem izmed ljudstev in vas zberem iz dežel, kamor ste bili razkropljeni; in jaz bom posvečen v vas pred pogani.

As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

42 In vedeli boste, da jaz sem Gospod, ko vas bom privedel v Izraelovo deželo, v deželo, za katero sem vzdignil svojo roko, da jo dam vašim očetom.

You shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.

43 In tam se boste spomnili svojih poti in vseh svojih dejanj, s katerimi ste bili omadeževani; in gnusili se boste samim sebi, v svojem lastnem pogledu, zaradi vseh svojih hudobij, ki ste jih storili.

There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.

44 In spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod, ko z vami postopam zaradi svojega imena, ne glede na vaše zlobne poti niti ne glede na vaša izprijena početja, oh vi, hiša Izraelova, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«

You shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel," says Jehovah.'"

45 Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

46 »Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti jugu in svojo besedo spusti proti jugu in prerokuj zoper gozd južnega polja;

"Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

47 in reci južnemu gozdu: ›Poslušaj Gospodovo besedo: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glej, v tebi bom zanetil ogenj in ta bo v tebi pogoltnil vsako zeleno drevo in vsako suho drevo. Plameneč ogenj ne bo pogašen in vsi obrazi, od juga do severa, bodo v njem ožgani.

and tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus says Jehovah, "Look, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.

48 In vse meso bo videlo, da sem ga zanetil jaz, Gospod. Ta ne bo pogašen.‹«

All flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."'"

49 Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! O meni pravijo: ›Mar on ne govori prispodob?‹«

Then I said, "Ah, Jehovah. They say of me, 'Isn't he a speaker of parables?'"
