Ezekiel 17
1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,
K meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 Sonne of man, put foorth a parable and speake a prouerbe vnto the house of Israel,
»Človeški sin, zastavi uganko in Izraelovi hiši spregovori prispodobo
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, The great eagle with great wings, and long wings, and ful of fethers, which had diuers colours, came vnto Lebanon, and tooke the highest branch of the cedar,
in reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Velik orel, z velikimi perutmi, z dolgimi krili, polnimi peres, ki ima različne barve, je prišel k Libanonu in vzel najvišjo cedrovo mladiko.
4 And brake off the toppe of his twigge, and caried it into the land of marchants, and set it in a citie of marchants.
Odstrigel je vrh njenih mladih vej in ga prenesel v deželo preprodajanja; postavil ga je v mestu trgovcev.
5 Hee tooke also of the seede of the lande, and planted it in a fruitfull ground: hee placed it by great waters, and set it as a willowe tree.
Prav tako je vzel od semena dežele in ga zasadil na rodovitno polje. Namestil ga je ob velikih vodah in ga postavil kakor drevo vrbe.
6 And it budded vp, and was like a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward it, and the rootes thereof were vnder it: so it became a vine, and it brought foorth branches, and shot foorth buds.
To je raslo in postalo razraščajoča se trta nizke rasti, čigar mladike so se obrnile proti njemu in njene korenine so bile pod njim. Tako je postala trta in obrodila mladike in poganjala vejice.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers, and beholde, this vine did turne her rootes toward it, and spred foorth her branches toward it, that she might water it by the trenches of her plantation.
Tam je bil tudi drug velik orel, z velikimi perutmi in mnogimi peresi. In glej, ta trta je svoje korenine upognila proti njemu in svoje mladike poganjala proti njemu, da bi jo ta lahko zalival pri brazdah njenega nasada.
8 It was planted in a good soyle by great waters, that it should bring forth branches, and beare fruite, and be an excellent vine.
Zasajena je bila v dobri zemlji, ob velikih vodah, da bi lahko pognala mladike in da bi lahko obrodila sad, da bi bila lahko čedna trta.‹
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, Shall it prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes thereof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to drie? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof.
Reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali bo ta uspevala? Ali ji ne bo izruval njenih korenin in odrezal njen sad, da ovene? Ovenela bo pri vseh listih njenega izvira, celo brez velike moči ali mnogih ljudstev, da bi jo izruvali pri njenih koreninah.
10 Beholde, it was planted: but shall it prosper? shall it not be dried vp, and wither? when the East winde shall touch it, it shall wither in the trenches, where it grewe.
Da, glej, ko je vsajena, ali bo uspevala? Ali ne bo popolnoma ovenela, ko se je dotakne vzhodnik? Ovenela bo na brazdah, kjer je zrasla.‹«
11 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
12 Say now to this rebellious house, Know ye not, what these things meane? tell them, Behold, the King of Babel is come to Ierusalem, and hath taken the King thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babel,
»Reci torej uporni hiši: ›Mar ne veste kaj pomenijo te stvari?‹ Povej jim: ›Glejte, babilonski kralj je prišel v [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in zajel njenega kralja in njene prince in jih s seboj odvedel v Babilon
13 And hath taken one of the Kings seede, and made a couenant with him, and hath taken an othe of him: he hath also taken the princes of the land,
in zajel od kraljevega semena in z njim sklenil zavezo in od njega vzel prisego. Prav tako je zajel mogočneže dežele,
14 That the kingdome might be in subiection, and not lift it selfe vp, but keepe their couenant, and stand to it.
da bi bilo kraljestvo lahko ponižano, da se ne bi povzdigovalo, temveč da bi z ohranjanjem njegove zaveze lahko obstalo.
15 But he rebelled against him, and sent his ambassadours into Egypt, that they might giue him horses, and much people: shall hee prosper? shall he escape, that doeth such things? or shall he breake the couenant, and be deliuered?
Toda ta se je uprl zoper njega s pošiljanjem svojih predstavnikov v Egipt, da bi mu lahko dali konje in veliko ljudstva. Ali bo uspel? Ali bo pobegnil ta, ki dela takšne stvari? Mar bo prelomil zavezo in bo osvobojen?
16 As I liue, saith the Lord God, he shall die in the middes of Babel, in the place of the King, that had made him King, whose othe he despised, and whose couenant made with him, he brake.
Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bo na kraju, kjer prebiva kralj, ki ga je postavil [za] kralja, čigar prisego je preziral in čigar zavezo je prelomil, celó pri njem bo umrl v sredi Babilona.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mightie hoste, and great multitude of people, mainteine him in the warre, when they haue cast vp mounts, and builded ramparts to destroy many persons.
Niti ne bo faraon s svojo mogočno vojsko in svojim velikim spremstvom delal zanj v vojni, s postavljanjem okopov in gradnjo trdnjav, da iztrebi mnogo oseb,
18 For he hath despised the othe, and broken ye couenant (yet lo, he had giuen his hand) because he hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
ker je preziral prisego s prelamljanjem zaveze, ko je, glej, dal svojo roko in [vendar] storil vse te stvari; ne bo pobegnil.‹
19 Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, As I liue, I wil surely bring mine othe that he hath despised, and my couenant that he hath broken vpon his owne head.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: › Kakor jaz živim, zagotovo bo meni dano prisego, ki jo je preziral in mojo zavezo, ki jo je prelomil, celo to bom poplačal na njegovi lastni glavi.
20 And I wil spread my net vpon him, and he shalbe taken in my net, and I wil bring him to Babel, and will enter into iudgement with him there for his trespas that he hath committed against me.
Svojo mrežo bom razširil nad njim in ujet bo v mojo zanko in privedel ga bom v Babilon in tam se bom z njim pravdal zaradi njegovega prekrška, ki ga je prekršil zoper mene.
21 And all that flee from him with all his hoste, shall fall by the sword, and they that remaine, shalbe scattered towarde all the windes: and ye shall know that I the Lord haue spoken it.
Vsi njegovi ubežniki, z vsemi njegovimi četami, bodo padli pod mečem, tisti pa, ki preostanejo, bodo razkropljeni proti vsem vetrovom. In vedeli boste, da sem jaz, Gospod, to govoril.‹
22 Thus saith the Lord God, I wil also take off the top of this hie cedar, and wil set it, and cut off the top of the tender plant thereof, and I wil plant it vpon an hie mountaine and great.
Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Prav tako bom vzel od najvišje mladike na visoki cedri in jo bom posadil; od vrha njenih mladih vejic bom odstrigel eno nežno in jo zasadil na visoki in eminentni gori.
23 Euen in the hie mountaine of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughes and beare fruite, and be an excellent cedar, and vnder it shall remaine all birds, and euery foule shall dwell in the shadow of the branches thereof.
Na gori Izraelove višine jo bom zasadil in pognala bo veje in obrodila sad in postane čedna cedra. Pod njo bo prebivala vsa perjad od vsakega krila; v senci njenih mladik bodo prebivale.
24 And all the trees of the fielde shall knowe that I the Lord haue brought downe the hie tree, and exalted the lowe tree, that I haue dried vp the greene tree, and made the drie tree to florish: I the Lord haue spoken it, and haue done it.
Vsa drevesa polja bodo vedela, da sem jaz, Gospod, ponižal visoko drevo, povišal nizko drevo, posušil zeleno drevo in suhemu drevesu storil, da cveti. Jaz, Gospod, sem govoril in sem to storil.‹«
