Jezekiel 14
1 And there came to me men of the people of Israel, of the elders, and sat before me.
Potem so prišli k meni nekateri izmed Izraelovih starešin in se usedli pred menoj.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
3 Son of man, these men have conceived their devices in their hearts, and have set before their faces the punishment of their iniquities: shall I indeed answer them?
»Človeški sin, ti možje so si v srcih postavljali malike in so si pred svoj obraz postavljali kamen spotike svoje krivičnosti; ali naj bi me oni potem sploh spraševali?«
4 Therefore speak to them, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Any man of the house of Israel, who shall conceive his devices in his heart, and shall set the punishment of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him [according to the things] in which his mind is entangled,
Zato jim govori in jim povej: »Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vsak mož iz Izraelove hiše, ki si v svojem srcu postavlja malike in pred svoj obraz polaga kamen spotike svoje krivičnosti in prihaja k preroku; jaz, Gospod, bom odgovoril tistemu, ki prihaja, glede na množico njegovih malikov,
5 that he should turn aside the house of Israel, according to their hearts that are estranged from me in their thoughts.
da bi Izraelovo hišo lahko ujel v njihovem lastnem srcu, ker so se zaradi svojih malikov vsi odtujili od mene.‹
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Be converted, and turn from your [evil] practices, and from all your sins, and turn your faces back again.
Zato reci Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Pokesajte se in odvrnite se od svojih malikov; odvrnite svoje obraze od vseh svojih ogabnosti.‹
7 For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him, [according to the things] wherein he is entangled.
Kajti vsakomur izmed Izraelove hiše, ali izmed tujca, ki začasno biva v Izraelu, ki se ločuje od mene in si v svojem srcu postavlja svoje malike in polaga kamen spotike svoje krivičnosti pred svoj obraz in prihaja k preroku, da bi od njega povprašal glede mene, mu bom jaz, Gospod, sam odgovoril.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Svoj obraz bom naravnal zoper tega moža in naredil ga bom za znamenje in pregovor in odrezal ga bom iz srede svojega ljudstva; in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.
9 And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out my hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Če pa je prerok zaveden, ko je govoril besedo, sem jaz, Gospod, zavedel tega preroka in jaz bom iztegnil svojo roko nanj in ga uničim iz srede svojega ljudstva Izraela.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:
Nosila bosta kazen svoje krivičnosti. Kazen preroka bo celo kakor kazen tistega, ki poizveduje k njemu;
11 that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, and that they may no more defile themselves with any of their transgressions: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, saith the Lord.
da Izraelova hiša ne bo več zašla od mene niti ne bo več oskrunjena z vsemi svojimi prestopki; temveč da bodo lahko moje ljudstvo in bom jaz lahko njihov Bog, govori Gospod Bog.‹«
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Gospodova beseda je prišla ponovno k meni, rekoč:
13 Son of man, if a land shall sin against me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast.
»Človeški sin, kadar dežela greši zoper mene z mučnimi prekršitvami, takrat bom nadnjo iztegnil svojo roko in zlomil bom njeno oporo kruha in nadnjo bom poslal lakoto in iz nje bom iztrebil človeka in žival.
14 And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noe, and Daniel, and Job, they [alone] should be delivered by their righteousness, saith the Lord.
Čeprav bi bili v njej ti trije možje: Noe, Daniel in Job, bi s svojo pravičnostjo rešili zgolj svoje lastne duše, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
15 If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it be ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts:
›Če povzročim ogabnim živalim, da gredo skozi deželo, jo oplenijo tako, da je ta zapuščena, da zaradi živali noben človek ne bo mogel iti skoznjo;
16 and [if] these three men should be in the midst of it, [as] I live, saith the Lord, neither sons nor daughters shall be saved, but these only shall be saved, and the land shall be destroyed.
čeprav bi bili ti trije možje v njej, kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›ne bodo osvobodili niti sinov niti hčera; samo oni sami bodo osvobojeni, toda dežela bo zapuščena.
17 Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast:
Ali če privedem meč nad to deželo in rečem: ›Meč, pojdi skozi to deželo; ‹ tako, da iz nje iztrebim ljudi in živali;
18 though these three men were in the midst of it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall not deliver sons or daughters, but they only shall be saved themselves.
čeprav bi bili ti trije možje v njej, kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›ne bi osvobodili niti sinov niti hčera; samo oni sami bi bili osvobojeni.
19 Or [if] again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast:
Ali če pošljem v to deželo kužno bolezen in če nanjo v krvi izlijem svojo razjarjenost, da iztrebim iz nje človeka in žival;
20 and should Noe, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, [as] I live, saith the Lord, there shall be left [them] neither sons nor daughters; [only] they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.
čeprav bi bili v njej Noe, Daniel in Job, kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›ne bi osvobodili niti sinov niti hčera, temveč bodo po svoji pravičnosti osvobodili zgolj svoje lastne duše.‹
21 Thus saith the Lord, And if I even send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgments, sword, and famine, and evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it man and beast;
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Koliko bolj, ko pošljem svoje štiri boleče sodbe nad Jeruzalem: meč, lakoto in ogabno zver in kužno bolezen, da iztrebim iz nje ljudi in živali?
22 yet, behold, [there shall be] men left in it, the escaped thereof, who [shall] lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they [shall] go forth to you, and ye shall see their ways and their thoughts: and ye shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] all the evils which I have brought upon it.
In vendar, glejte, bo tam ostal ostanek, ki bo izpeljan, tako sinov kakor hčera. Glejte, prišli bodo k vam in videli boste njihovo pot in njihova dejanja in potolaženi boste glede zla, ki sem ga privedel nad Jeruzalem, celó glede vsega, kar sem privedel nadenj.
23 And they shall comfort you, because ye shall see their ways and their thoughts: and ye shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, saith the Lord.
In potolažili vas bodo, ko boste videli njihove poti in njihova dejanja, in spoznali boste, da nisem brez vzroka storil vsega, kar sem storil v njem, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
