Ezekiel 20
1 Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me.
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.
2 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
3 Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me.
»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.
4 Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers,
Ali jih hočeš soditi, človeški sin, ali jih hočeš soditi? Povzroči jim, da spoznajo ogabnosti njihovih očetov
5 And say to them, This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I took Israel for myself, when I made an oath to the seed of the family of Jacob, and I gave them knowledge of myself in the land of Egypt, saying to them with an oath, I am the Lord your God;
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; ‹
6 In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:
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.
7 And I said to them, Let every man among you put away the disgusting things to which his eyes are turned, and do not make yourselves unclean with the images of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
Potem sem jim rekel: ›Vsak mož naj odvrže ogabnosti svojih oči in ne omadežujte se z egiptovskimi maliki.‹ Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
8 But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt.
›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.
9 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.
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.
10 So I made them go out of the land of Egypt and took them into the waste land.
Zatorej sem jim velel, da gredo iz egiptovske dežele in jih privedel v divjino.
11 And I gave them my rules and made clear to them my orders, which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him.
In dal sem jim svoje zakone in jim pokazal svoje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih.
12 And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord.
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.
13 But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them.
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.
14 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, v katerem pogledu sem jih privedel ven.
15 And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;
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;
16 Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images.
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.
17 But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land.
Kljub temu jim je moje oko prizaneslo pred tem, da bi jih uničil niti jim v divjini nisem storil konca.
18 And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images:
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.
19 I am the Lord your God; be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them:
Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ravnajte se po mojih zakonih in držite se mojih sodb in jih izvršujte;
20 And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.
in posvečujte moje šabate; in te bodo znamenje med menoj in vami, da boste lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
21 But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.
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.‹
22 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
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.
23 Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;
V divjini sem prav tako svojo roko vzdignil k njim, da bi jih razkropil med pogane in jih razpršil skozi dežele;
24 Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers.
ker niso izvrševali mojih sodb, temveč so prezirali moje zakone in skrunili moje šabate in njihove oči so bile za maliki njihovih očetov.
25 And further, I gave them rules which were not good and orders in which there was no life for them;
Zatorej sem jim prav tako izročil zakone, ki niso bili dobri in sodbe, po katerih naj ne bi živeli;
26 I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.
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.‹
27 For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.
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.
28 For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out.
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.‹
29 Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day.
Potem sem jim rekel: ›Kaj je visok kraj, kamor greste?‹ In njegovo ime je imenovano Bama do današnjega dne.
30 For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works?
Zato reci Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste oskrunjeni po načinu svojih očetov? In grešite vlačugarstvo po njihovih ogabnostih?
31 And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.
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.
32 And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone;
In to, kar prihaja v vaše misli, sploh ne bo, da pravite: ›Mi bomo kakor pogani, kakor družine dežel, da služimo lesu in kamnu.‹
33 By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you:
› Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bom z mogočno roko in z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo vladal nad vami
34 And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose:
in vas izpeljem izmed ljudstva in vas zberem iz dežel, po katerih ste razkropljeni, z mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo.
35 And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.
In jaz vas bom privedel v divjino ljudstev in tam se bom pravdal z vami iz obličja v obličje.
36 As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.
Podobno kakor sem se pravdal z vašimi očeti v divjini egiptovske dežele, tako se bom pravdal z vami, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
37 And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:
›In povzročil vam bom, da boste šli pod palico in privedel vas bom v vez zaveze
38 Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
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.
39 As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images.
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.
40 For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things.
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.
41 I will take pleasure in you as in a sweet smell, when I take you out from the peoples and get you together from the countries where you have been sent in flight; and I will make myself holy in you before the eyes of the nations.
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.
42 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you into the land of Israel, into the country which I made an oath to give to your fathers.
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.
43 And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.
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.
44 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you in hand for the honour of my name, and not for your evil ways or your unclean doings, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
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.‹«
45 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
46 Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;
»Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti jugu in svojo besedo spusti proti jugu in prerokuj zoper gozd južnega polja;
47 And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
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.
48 And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.
In vse meso bo videlo, da sem ga zanetil jaz, Gospod. Ta ne bo pogašen.‹«
49 Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?
Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! O meni pravijo: ›Mar on ne govori prispodob?‹«
