< Ezekiel 33 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 Son of man, give a word to the children of your people, and say to them, When I make the sword come on a land, if the people of the land take a man from among their number and make him their watchman:
»Človeški sin, spregovori otrokom svojega ljudstva in jim reci: ›Ko privedem meč nad deželo, če ljudstvo dežele vzame človeka iz svojih obal in ga postavi za svojega stražarja.
3 If, when he sees the sword coming on the land, by sounding the horn he gives the people news of their danger;
Če ta zatrobi na šofar in posvari ljudstvo, kadar vidi nad deželo prihajati meč;
4 Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.
potem kdorkoli sliši zvok šofarja in ne sprejme svarila; če pride meč in ga vzame, bo njegova kri na njegovi lastni glavi.
5 On hearing the sound of the horn, he did not take note; his blood will be on him; for if he had taken note his life would have been safe.
Slišal je zvok šofarja in ni sprejel svarila; njegova kri bo nad njim. Toda kdor sprejme svarilo, bo rešil svojo dušo.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not give a note on the horn, and the people have no word of the danger, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them; he will be taken away in his sin, but I will make the watchman responsible for his blood.
Toda če stražar vidi prihajati meč, pa ne zatrobi na šofar in ljudstvo ni posvarjeno, če pride meč in vzame kateregakoli človeka izmed njih, je ta odvzet v svoji krivičnosti; toda njegovo kri bom zahteval iz stražarjeve roke.
7 So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel; and you are to give ear to the word of my mouth and give them news from me of their danger.
Tako sem tebe, oh človeški sin, postavil [za] stražarja Izraelovi hiši; zato boš slišal besedo pri mojih ustih in jih posvaril v mojem imenu.
8 When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly overtake you; and you say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way; death will overtake that evil man in his evil-doing, but I will make you responsible for his blood.
Ko rečem zlobnemu: ›Oh zlobni človek, zagotovo boš umrl; ‹ če ne spregovoriš, da zlobnega posvariš pred njegovo potjo, bo ta zloben človek umrl v svoji krivičnosti, toda njegovo kri bom zahteval pri tvoji roki.
9 But if you make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way for the purpose of turning him from it, and he is not turned from his way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, but your life will be safe.
Vendar če posvariš zlobnega o njegovi poti, da se odvrne od nje; če se ta ne odvrne iz svoje poti, bo umrl v svoji krivičnosti; toda ti si rešil svojo dušo.
10 And you, son of man, say to the children of Israel, You say, Our wrongdoing and our sins are on us and we are wasting away in them; how then may we have life?
Zato, oh ti, človeški sin, spregovori Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govorite, rekoč: ›Če so naši prestopki in naši grehi nad nami in v njih hiramo, kako bi potem živeli?‹
11 Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and has life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death, O children of Israel?
Reci jim: › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nobenega zadovoljstva nimam v smrti zlobnega; temveč, da se zlobni odvrne od svoje poti in živi. Obrnite se, obrnite se od svojih zlih poti; kajti zakaj hočete umreti, oh hiša Izraelova?‹
12 And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.
Zato ti, človeški sin, reci otrokom svojega ljudstva: ›Pravičnost pravičnega ga ne bo rešila na dan njegovega prestopka. Glede zlobnosti zlobnega, on s tem ne bo padel na dan, ko se obrne od svoje zlobnosti; niti pravični ne bo zmožen živeti po svoji pravičnosti na dan, ko greši.
13 When I say to the upright that life will certainly be his; if he puts his faith in his righteousness and does evil, not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory; but in the evil he has done, death will overtake him.
Ko bom rekel pravičnemu, da bo zagotovo živel; če ta zaupa svoji lastni pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost, se vse njegove pravičnosti ne bo spominjalo; toda zaradi svoje krivičnosti, ki jo je zagrešil, bo zaradi nje umrl.‹
14 And when I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; if he is turned from his sin and does what is ordered and right;
Ponovno, kadar rečem zlobnemu: ›Ti boš zagotovo umrl; ‹ če se ta obrne od svojega greha in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno;
15 If the evil-doer lets one who is in his debt have back what is his, and gives back what he had taken by force, and is guided by the rules of life, doing no evil; life will certainly be his, death will not overtake him.
če zlobni povrne jamstvo, ponovno da, kar je naropal, se ravna po zakonih življenja, ne da bi zagrešil krivičnost; zagotovo bo živel, ne bo umrl.
16 Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in mind against him: he has done what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his.
Nobeden izmed njegovih grehov, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bo omenjen. Storil je to, kar je zakonito in pravilno; zagotovo bo živel.‹
17 But the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: when it is they whose way is not equal.
Vendar otroci tvojega ljudstva pravijo: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Toda kar se tiče njih, njihova pot ni enakovredna.
18 When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him in it.
Ko se pravični obrne od svoje pravičnosti in grešno zagreši krivičnost, bo s tem torej umrl.
19 And when the evil man, turning away from his evil-doing, does what is ordered and right, he will get life by it.
Toda če se zlobni odvrne od svoje zlobnosti in počne to, kar je zakonito in pravilno, bo s tem živel.
20 And still you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, I will be your judge, giving to everyone the reward of his ways.
Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Oh vi, hiša Izraelova, vsakogar bom sodil po njegovih poteh.‹«
21 Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The town has been taken.
In pripetilo se je v dvanajstem letu našega ujetništva, v desetem mesecu, na peti dan meseca, da je tisti, ki je pobegnil iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, prišel k meni, rekoč: »Mesto je udarjeno.«
22 Now the hand of the Lord had been on me in the evening, before the man who had got away came to me; and he made my mouth open, ready for his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was open and I was no longer without voice.
Torej Gospodova roka je bila nad menoj zvečer, prej, preden je prišel ta, ki je pobegnil. Odprl je moja usta, dokler ni oni zjutraj prišel k meni; in moja usta so bila odprta in nisem bil več nem.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
24 Son of man, those who are living in these waste places in the land of Israel say, Abraham was but one, and he had land for his heritage: but we are a great number; the land is given to us for our heritage.
»Človeški sin, tisti, ki poseljujejo opustošenosti dežele Izrael, govorijo, rekoč: ›Abraham je bil en in je podedoval deželo, toda nas je mnogo. Dežela nam je dana v dediščino.‹
25 For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: You take your meat with the blood, your eyes are lifted up to your images, and you are takers of life: are you to have the land for your heritage?
Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vi jeste s krvjo in svoje oči povzdigujete k svojim malikom in prelivate kri; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?
26 You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?
Stojite na svojem meču, počnete ogabnost in omadežujete, vsak ženo svojega soseda; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?‹
27 This is what you are to say to them: The Lord has said, By my life, truly, those who are in the waste places will be put to the sword, and him who is in the open field I will give to the beasts for their food, and those who are in the strong places and in holes in the rocks will come to their death by disease.
Tako jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: › Kakor jaz živim, zagotovo bodo tisti, ki so v opustošenostih, padli pod mečem in kdor je na odprtem polju, ga bom izročil živalim, da bo požrt in tisti, ki so v utrdbah in votlinah, bodo umrli od kužne bolezni.
28 And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder, and the pride of her strength will come to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through.
Kajti jaz bom deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno in pomp njene moči bo prenehal; in gore Izraelove bodo zapuščene, da nihče ne bo šel čeznje.
29 Then they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a waste and a cause of wonder, because of all the disgusting things which they have done,
Potem bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno zaradi vseh njihovih ogabnosti, ki so jih zagrešili.
30 And as for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, saying to one another, Come now, give ear to the word which comes from the Lord.
Tudi ti, človeški sin, otroci tvojega ljudstva še vedno govorijo zoper tebe pri zidovih in v vratih hiš in drug drugemu govorijo, vsak svojemu bratu, rekoč: ›Pridi, prosim te in poslušaj, kakšna je beseda, ki prihaja od Gospoda.‹
31 And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.
In k tebi pridejo kakor prihajajo ljudje in sedijo pred teboj kakor moje ljudstvo in slišijo tvoje besede, toda nočejo jih izpolnjevati, kajti s svojimi usti so pokazali mnogo ljubezni, toda njihovo srce gre za njihovo pohlepnostjo.
32 And truly you are to them like a love song by one who has a very pleasing voice and is an expert player on an instrument: for they give ear to your words but do them not.
In glej, ti si jim kakor zelo očarljiva pesem nekoga, ki ima prijeten glas in lahko dobro igra na glasbilo, kajti slišijo tvoje besede, toda po njih se ne ravnajo.
33 And when this comes about (see, it is coming), then it will be clear to them that a prophet has been among them.
In ko se to zgodi (glej, to bo prišlo), potem bodo vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.‹«
