Ezekiel 18
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 “What's this proverb you people are quoting about the country of Israel: ‘The fathers ate the unripe grapes, but their children got the sour taste’?
»Kaj mislite, da uporabljate ta pregovor glede Izraelove dežele, rekoč: ›Očetje so jedli kislo grozdje, zobje otrok pa so skominasti?‹
3 As I live, declares the Lord God, you won't quote this proverb in Israel any more.
Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nič več ne boste imeli priložnosti, da v Izraelu uporabljate ta pregovor.
4 Can't you see that everyone belongs to me? Whether parents or children, they are all mine. It's the person who sins who will die.
Glejte, vse duše so moje; kakor očetova duša, tako je tudi sinova duša moja. Duša, ki greši, ta bo umrla.
5 Take the example of a man who is a good person, doing what is fair and right.
Toda če je človek pravičen in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno
6 He doesn't go to the pagan shrines in the mountains to eat a religious meal, or worship Israel's idols. He doesn't have sex with someone else's wife or with a woman during her period.
in ni jedel po gorah, niti ni svojih oči povzdigoval k malikom Izraelove hiše, niti ni omadeževal žene svojega soseda, niti ni prišel blizu ženski, ki ima menstruacijo,
7 He doesn't exploit anyone. He gives back what a debtor has given him as security. He doesn't rob others. He feeds the hungry and clothes the naked.
in ni nikogar zatiral, temveč je dolžniku povrnil njegovo jamstvo, ni nikogar oplenil z nasiljem, svoj kruh dajal lačnemu in nagega pokrival z obleko;
8 He doesn't lend with interest or make a profit from loans. He refuses to do wrong and makes sure he's truly fair in his decisions between people.
ta, ki ni dajal za obresti, niti ni jemal nobenega dobička, ki je svojo roko umikal pred krivičnostjo, izvrševal pošteno sodbo med možem in možem,
9 He follows my rules and keeps my regulations faithfully. Such a man lives by what's right and he will certainly live, declares the Lord God.
hodil po mojih zakonih in se držal mojih sodb, da pravilno postopa; ta je pravičen, zagotovo bo živel, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
10 What if that man has a son who is a violent criminal, who kills and does do such evil things just listed
›Če zaplodi sina ta, ki je ropar, prelivalec krvi in ki dela podobno katerikoli izmed teh stvari
11 even though the father doesn't act like that at all. The son goes to the pagan shrines in the mountains to eat a religious meal. He has sex with someone else's wife.
in ki ne dela katerokoli izmed teh dolžnosti, temveč je celo jedel po gorah in omadeževal ženo svojega soseda,
12 He exploits the poor and those in need. He robs others, and he doesn't give back what a debtor has given him as security. He worships idols. He commits disgusting sins.
zatiral revnega in pomoči potrebnega, plenil z nasiljem, ni povračal jamstva in svoje oči povzdigoval k malikom, zagrešil ogabnost,
13 He lends with interest and makes a profit from loans. Is someone like this going to live? No, he won't! Because he has done all these offensive things, he will die for certain, and he will be responsible for his own death.
dajal za obresti in jemal donos. Ali bo potem živel? Ta ne bo živel. Počenjal je vse te ogabnosti; zagotovo bo umrl; njegova kri bo na njem.
14 Now what if this man has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed. He sees them but doesn't do the same.
Torej glej, če zaplodi sina, ki vidi vse grehe svojega očeta, ki jih je storil in preudarja in ne dela temu podobno,
15 He doesn't go to the pagan shrines in the mountains to eat a religious meal, or worship Israel's idols. He doesn't have sex with someone else's wife.
da ni jedel po gorah niti svojih oči ni povzdigoval k malikom Izraelove hiše, ni omadeževal žene svojega soseda
16 He doesn't exploit anyone. He doesn't demand security for a loan. He doesn't rob others. He feeds the hungry and clothes the naked.
niti nobenega ni zatiral, ni zadrževal jamstva niti ni plenil z nasiljem, temveč je svoj kruh dajal lačnemu in nagega pokrival z obleko,
17 He refuses to do wrong and does not charge interest or make a profit on loans. He keeps my regulations and follows my laws. A man like that won't die because of his father's sins, he will certainly live!
ki je zadrževal svoje roke pred [zatiranjem] revnega, ki ni prejemal obresti niti donosa, [ki je] izvrševal moje sodbe, hodil po mojih zakonih; ta ne bo umrl zaradi krivičnosti svojega očeta; zagotovo bo živel.
18 But his father will die for his own sins, because he exploited others, robbed his relatives, and did wrong to his own people.
Kar se tiče njegovega očeta, ker je kruto zatiral, svojega brata plenil z nasiljem in med svojim ljudstvom počel to kar ni dobro, glej, celo ta bo umrl v svoji krivičnosti.
19 You ask, ‘Why shouldn't the son pay for his father's sins?’ If the son has done what is fair and right, keeping all my laws, then he'll live, he won't be punished.
Vendar vi pravite: ›Zakaj? Ali sin ne nosi očetove krivičnosti? Kadar je sin storil, kar je zakonito in pravilno in se je držal vseh mojih zakonov in jih izvršil, bo zagotovo živel.
20 It's the person who sins who will die. A son won't pay for his father's sins, and a father won't pay for his son's sins. The good consequences of living right will come to those who are good; the evil consequences of wickedness will come to those who are evil.
Duša, ki greši, ta bo umrla. Sin ne bo nosil očetove krivičnosti niti ne bo oče nosil sinove krivičnosti. Pravičnost pravičnega bo na njem in zlobnost zlobnega bo na njem.
21 However, if someone who is wicked stops sinning and keeps my laws, doing what is fair and right, they will certainly live—they won't die.
Toda če se bo zlobni obrnil od vseh svojih grehov, ki jih je zagrešil in se držal vseh mojih zakonov in storil to, kar je zakonito in pravilno, bo zagotovo živel, ne bo umrl.
22 None of their sins will be held against them. Because they are now doing what's right, they will live.
Vsi njegovi prestopki, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bodo omenjeni. V svoji pravičnosti, ki jo je storil, bo živel.
23 Do I like it when wicked people die? declares the Lord God. Of course not—I would be delighted if they stopped sinning and lived!
Ali imam sploh kakšno zadovoljstvo, da bi zlobni umrl?‹ govori Gospod Bog: › in ne, da bi se vrnil iz svojih poti in živel?
24 But if someone who is living according to what's right stops and does wrong, doing the same offensive things as the wicked, will that person live? Of course not! In fact, all the good things they did previously will be forgotten. That person will die because of their betrayal of me and the sins they've committed.
Toda ko se pravični obrne proč od svoje pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost in počne glede na vse ogabnosti, ki jih počne zloben človek, ali bo živel? Vsa njegova pravičnost, ki jo je storil, ne bo omenjena. V svojem prekršku, ki ga je prekršil in v svojem grehu, ki ga je zagrešil, v njima bo umrl.
25 Even so you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ People of Israel, listen to me! Is it what I'm doing that isn't right? Isn't it what you're doing that isn't right?
Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni primerna.‹ Poslušaj sedaj, oh Izraelova hiša; mar moja pot ni primerna? Ali niso vaše poti neprimerne?
26 If someone who lives according to what's right stops doing right and does wrong, they will die. They will die because of wrong things they've done.
Ko se pravičen človek obrne proč od svoje pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost in umira v njiju; zaradi svoje krivičnosti, ki jo je storil, bo umrl.
27 But if someone wicked stops doing wrong and does what is fair and right, they will save their life.
Ponovno, kadar se zloben človek obrne proč od svoje zlobnosti, ki jo je zagrešil in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno, bo svojo dušo rešil živo.
28 Because they thought about it and gave up their wicked ways, they will certainly live—they won't die.
Ker preudarja in se odvrača proč od vseh svojih prestopkov, ki jih je zagrešil, bo zagotovo živel, ne bo umrl.
29 But the people of Israel say, ‘The Lord's way isn't right.’ Are my ways unfair, people of Israel? Isn't it your ways that aren't fair?
Vendar Izraelova hiša pravi: ›Gospodova pot ni primerna.‹ Oh Izraelova hiša, mar moje poti niso primerne? Ali niso vaše poti neprimerne?
30 Consequently I'm going to judge you, people of Israel! I will judge each of you depending on what you've done, declares the Lord God. Repent and stop rebelling so that your sins won't bring you down.
Zatorej vas bom sodil, oh Izraelova hiša, vsakogar glede na njegove poti, ‹ govori Gospod Bog. Pokesajte se in se obrnite od vseh svojih prestopkov; tako krivičnost ne bo vaš propad.
31 Get rid of all your rebellious sins! Change your way of thinking and have a new spirit. Why do you want to die, people of Israel?
Od sebe odvrzite vse svoje prestopke, s katerimi ste se pregrešili in si naredite novo srce in novega duha, kajti zakaj hočete umreti, oh hiša Izraelova?
32 I don't like it when anybody dies, declares the Lord God. So repent so you can live!”
Kajti jaz nimam nobenega zadovoljstva v smrti tistega, ki umira, ‹ govori Gospod Bog: ›zatorej se obrnite in živite.‹
