Ezekiel 9

1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, "Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand."

Zaklical je tudi z močnim glasom v moja ušesa, rekoč: »Povzročite tistim, ki imajo zadolžitev nad mestom, da se približajo, celo vsak človek s svojim uničevalnim orožjem v svoji roki.«

2 Look, six men came from the way of the Upper Gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in their midst clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.

In glej, šest mož je prišlo po poti višjih velikih vrat, ki ležijo proti severu in vsak mož s pokončevalnim orožjem v svoji roki; in en mož izmed njih je bil oblečen z lanenim platnom, s pisarskim rogom, s črnilom ob njegovi strani in vstopili so in obstali poleg bronastega oltarja.

3 The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side.

In slava Izraelovega Boga je odšla gor od keruba, nad katerim je bila, k hišnemu pragu. In zaklical je k možu, oblečenim z lanenim platnom, ki je imel pisarski rog s črnilom ob njegovi strani;

4 The LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in its midst."

in Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi skozi sredino mesta, skozi sredo [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in postavi znamenje na čela ljudi, ki vzdihujejo in ki jokajo zaradi vseh ogabnosti, ki se počno v njeni sredi.«

5 To the others he said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him, and strike: do not let your eye spare, neither have pity;

Drugim pa je rekel v mojem slišanju: »Pojdite za njim skozi mesto in udarite. Naj vaše oko ne prizanaša niti ne imejte usmiljenja.

6 kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but do not come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary." Then they began at the old men that were before the house.

Popolnoma pobijte stare in mlade, tako device kakor majhne otroke in ženske, toda ne pridite blizu nobenemu človeku, na katerem je znamenje; in začnite pri mojem svetišču.« Potem so začeli pri starodavnih možeh, ki so bili pred hišo.

7 He said to them, "Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth." They went forth, and struck in the city.

Rekel jim je: »Omadežujte hišo in napolnite dvore z umorjenimi. Pojdite naprej.« In odšli so naprej in morili v mestu.

8 It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, "Ah, LORD. Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?"

In pripetilo se je, medtem ko so jih pobijali in sem ostal sam, da sem padel na svoj obraz in jokal ter rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Ali boš ves Izraelov preostanek uničil v izlivanju svoje razjarjenosti nad [prestolnico] Jeruzalem?«

9 Then he said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion: for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD doesn't see.'

Potem mi je rekel: »Krivičnost Izraelove in Judove hiše je silno velika in dežela je polna krvi in mesto polno perverznosti, kajti pravijo: › Gospod je zapustil zemljo in Gospod ne vidi.‹

10 As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head."

In tudi kar se mene tiče, moje oko ne bo prizaneslo niti ne bom imel usmiljenja, temveč bom njihovo pot poplačal na njihovi glavi.«

11 Look, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, "I have done as you have commanded me."

In glej, mož, oblečen z lanenim platnom, ki je imel ob svoji strani pisarski rog s črnilom, je poročal zadevo, rekoč: »Storil sem, kakor si mi zapovedal.«
