Ezekiel 44

1 And he turned me back, toward the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary, which looked toward the east. And it was closed.

Potem me je privedel nazaj po poti velikih vrat zunanjega svetišča, ki gledajo proti vzhodu; in ta so bila zaprta.

2 And the Lord said to me: “This gate will be closed; it will not be opened. And man shall not cross through it. For the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it, and it shall be closed

Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Ta velika vrata bodo zaprta, ne bodo odprta in noben človek ne bo vstopil skoznje; ker je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, vstopil skoznje, zato bodo zaprta.

3 to the prince. The prince himself will sit at it, so that he may eat bread before the Lord; he will enter by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and he will depart by the same way.”

Ta so za princa; princ bo sedel v njih, da jé kruh pred Gospodom; vstopil bo po poti preddverja teh velikih vrat in ven bo šel po isti poti.«

4 And he led me in, along the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house. And I saw, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. And I fell upon my face.

Potem me je privedel po poti severnih velikih vrat pred hišo. Pogledal sem in glej, Gospodova slava je napolnila Gospodovo hišo in padel sem na svoj obraz.

5 And the Lord said to me: “Son of man, set within your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I am speaking to you about all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord and about all its laws. And set your heart upon the ways of the temple, along all the exits of the sanctuary.

Gospod mi je rekel: »Človeški sin, dobro zaznamuj in glej s svojimi očmi in poslušaj s svojimi ušesi vse, kar ti rečem glede vseh odredb Gospodove hiše in vse njegove postave; in dobro zaznamuj vhod hiše, z vsakim vstopanjem v svetišče.

6 And you shall say to the house of Israel, which provokes me: Thus says the Lord God: Let all your wicked deeds be sufficient for you, O house of Israel.

Upornim boš rekel, celó Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Oh vi, Izraelova hiša, naj vam bo dovolj vseh vaših ogabnosti

7 For you bring in foreign sons, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, so that they may be in my sanctuary and may defile my house. And you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood, yet you have broken my covenant by all your wicked deeds.

v tem, da ste v moje svetišče privedli tujce, neobrezane v srcu in neobrezane v mesu, da bi bili v mojem svetišču, da ga oskrunijo, celó mojo hišo, ko darujete moj kruh, tolščo in kri in zaradi vseh vaših ogabnosti so prelamljali mojo zavezo.

8 And you have not observed the precepts of my sanctuary, yet you have stationed observers of my vigil in my sanctuary for yourselves.

Vi niste skrbeli za moje svete stvari, temveč ste si zase postavili čuvaje moje zadolžitve v mojem svetišču.‹

9 Thus says the Lord God: Any foreigner, any foreign son who is in the midst of the sons of Israel, who is uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall not enter into my sanctuary.

Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Noben tujec, neobrezan v srcu niti neobrezan v mesu, izmed kateregakoli tujca, ki je med Izraelovimi otroki, ne bo vstopil v moje svetišče.

10 And as for the Levites, they have withdrawn far away from me, in the errors of the sons of Israel, and they have gone astray from me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.

Lévijevci, ki so šli daleč proč od mene, ko je Izrael zašel, ki so zašli proč od mene, za svojimi maliki; oni bodo torej nosili svojo krivdo.

11 They will be caretakers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers at the gates of the house, and ministers to the house. They will slay the holocausts and the victims of the people. And they will stand before them, so that they may minister to them.

Vendar bodo služabniki v mojem svetišču in imeli bodo zadolžitev pri velikih vratih hiše in služili bodo hiši. Klali bodo žgalno daritev in klavno daritev za ljudstvo in stali bodo pred njimi, da jim služijo.

12 But because they ministered to them in the sight their idols, and they became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, for this reason, I have lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord God, and they will bear their iniquity.

Ker so jim služili pred njihovimi maliki in Izraelovi hiši povzročili, da pade v krivičnost; zatorej sem proti njim vzdignil svojo roko, ‹ govori Gospod Bog ›in nosili bodo svojo krivičnost.

13 And they shall not draw near to me, so as to exercise the priesthood for me, and they shall not approach to any of my holy things, which are near the Holy of Holies. Instead, they will bear their shame and their wicked deeds, which they committed.

In ne bodo mi prišli blizu, da bi mi opravljali duhovniško službo niti da bi se približali katerikoli izmed mojih svetih stvari na najsvetejšem kraju, temveč bodo nosili svojo sramoto in svoje ogabnosti, ki so jih zagrešili.

14 And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all its ministries and for all that will be done within it.

Toda naredil jih bom čuvaje oskrbe hiše, za vso njeno službo in za vse, kar bo v njej storjeno.

15 But the priests and the Levites who are the sons of Zadok, who observed the ceremonies of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw near to me, so that they may minister for me. And they shall stand in my sight, so that they may offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.

Toda duhovniki Lévijevcev, Cadókovi sinovi, ki so skrbeli za moje svetišče, ko so Izraelovi otroci zašli od mene, mi bodo prišli blizu, da bi mi služili in stali bodo pred menoj, da mi darujejo tolščo in kri, ‹ govori Gospod Bog:

16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table, so that they may minister for me, and so that they may observe my ceremonies.

›Vstopali bodo v moje svetišče in se približali moji mizi, da bi mi služili in skrbeli za mojo zadolžitev.

17 And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. Neither shall anything woolen be placed over them, when they minister within the gates of the inner and the outer court.

In zgodilo se bo, ko vstopajo pri velikih vratih notranjega dvora, da bodo oblečeni s platnenimi oblačili; in nobena volna ne bo prišla nanje, medtem ko služijo pri velikih vratih notranjega dvora in znotraj.

18 They shall have linen bands on their heads, and linen undergarments over their loins, and they shall not be girded so as to sweat.

Na svojih glavah bodo imeli platnene klobučke in na svojih ledjih bodo imeli kratke platnene hlače; ne bodo se opasovali s čimerkoli, kar povzroča znojenje.

19 And when they go forth to the outer court to the people, they shall strip off their vestments, in which they ministered, and they shall place them in the storeroom of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments. And they shall not sanctify the people in their vestments.

Ko gredo naprej, na skrajni dvor, celó na skrajni dvor ljudstva, bodo odložili svoja oblačila, v katerih so služili in jih položili v svete sobe in nadeli si bodo druga oblačila in ljudstva ne bodo posvetili s svojimi oblačili.

20 Now they shall not shave their heads, and they shall not grow long hair. Instead, they shall trim the hair of their heads.

Niti si ne bodo brili svojih glav niti ne bodo pustili pramenom, da zrastejo dolgi. Svoje glave si bodo zgolj strigli.

21 And no priest shall drink wine, when he will be entering into the inner court.

Niti ne bo katerikoli duhovnik pil vina, ko vstopa na notranji dvor.

22 And they shall not take as wife a widow or one who has been divorced. Instead, they shall take virgins from the offspring of the house of Israel. But they may also take a widow, if she is the widow of a priest.

Niti si za svoje žene ne bodo jemali vdove, niti tiste, ki je odslovljena, temveč si bodo jemali device od semena Izraelove hiše ali vdovo, ki je imela poprej duhovnika.

23 And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and defiled, and they shall distinguish for them between clean and unclean.

Moje ljudstvo bodo učili razliko med svetim in oskrunjenim in jim povzročili, da razpoznavajo med nečistim in čistim.

24 And when there has been a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and they shall judge. They shall observe my laws and my precepts, in all my solemnities, and they shall sanctify my Sabbaths.

V polemiki bodo razsojali in sodili jo bodo glede na moje sodbe in držali se bodo mojih postav in mojih zakonov in vseh mojih pravil, v vseh mojih zborih; in posvečevali bodo moje šabate.

25 And they shall not enter to a dead person, lest they be defiled, except to father or mother, or son or daughter, or brother, or to a sister who does not have another man. By these, they may become unclean.

Ne bodo prišli k nobeni mrtvi osebi, da se omadežujejo, razen za očeta ali za mater ali za sina, ali za hčer, za brata ali za sestro, ki nima soproga, se lahko omadežujejo.

26 And after he will have been cleansed, they shall number for him seven days.

Potem ko je očiščen, mu bodo prišteli sedem dni.

27 And on the day when he enters into the sanctuary, to the inner court, so that he may minister to me in the sanctuary, he shall make an offering because of his offense, says the Lord God.

Na dan, ko gre v svetišče, na notranji dvor, da služi v svetišču, bo daroval svojo daritev za greh, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.

28 And there shall be no inheritance for them. I am their inheritance. And you shall not give them any possession in Israel. For I am their possession.

›To jim bo za dediščino: jaz sem njihova dediščina. Ne boste jim dali posesti v Izraelu. Jaz sem njihova posest.

29 They shall eat the victim both for sin and for offenses. And every vowed offering in Israel shall be theirs.

Jedli bodo jedilno daritev in daritev za greh in daritev za prestopek in vsaka posvečena stvar v Izraelu bo njihova.

30 And the first-fruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations out of all that is offered, shall belong to the priests. And you shall give the first-fruits of your foods to the priest, so that he may return a blessing to your house.

Prvo izmed vseh prvih sadov od vseh stvari in vsaka daritev od vsega, od vsake vrste izmed vaših daritev, bo duhovnikova. Prav tako boste dali duhovniku prvo od svojega testa, da bo lahko povzročil, da v tvoji hiši počiva blagoslov.

31 The priests shall not consume anything which has died on its own, or which was seized by a beast, whether from the fowl or the cattle.”

Duhovniki ne bodo jedli od česarkoli, kar je umrlo samo od sebe ali je bilo raztrgano, naj bo to perjad ali žival.
