< Ezekiel 21 >
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
»Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti Jeruzalemu in spusti svojo besedo proti svetim krajem in prerokuj zoper Izraelovo deželo
3 and tell the land of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
in reci Izraelovi deželi: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe in izvlekel bom svoj meč iz nožnice in iz tebe bom iztrebil pravičnega in zlobnega.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the Negev to the north:
Ker bom iz tebe iztrebil pravičnega in zlobnega, bo zato moj meč šel iz nožnice zoper vse meso od juga do severa,
5 and all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more."'
da bo lahko vse meso vedelo, da sem jaz, Gospod, izvlekel svoj meč iz nožnice. Ta se ne bo več vrnil.
6 "Sigh therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your thighs and with bitterness you will sigh before their eyes.
Zdihuj torej, ti, človeški sin, s trganjem svojih ledij; in z grenkim vzdihom pred njihovimi očmi.
7 It shall be, when they tell you, 'Why do you sigh?' that you shall say, 'Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: look, it comes, and it shall be done, says the LORD.'"
In zgodilo se bo, ko ti bodo rekli: ›Zakaj vzdihuješ?‹ da boš odgovoril: ›Zaradi novic, ker le-te prihajajo.‹ In vsako srce se bo stopilo in vse roke bodo slabotne in vsak duh bo medlel in vsa kolena bodo šibka kakor voda. Glej, to prihaja in se bo zgodilo, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.«
8 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
9 "Son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says the LORD: Say, "A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;
»Človeški sin, prerokuj in reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Reci: ›Meč, meč je nabrušen in tudi zglajen.
10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? The rod of my son, it condemns every tree.
Nabrušen je, da naredi boleč pokol; zglajen je, da se lahko lesketa. Naj bi se mi potem razveseljevali? Ta zaničuje palico mojega sina kakor vsako drevo.
11 It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer."'
In on ga je dal zgladiti, da bi lahko z njim rokoval. Ta meč je nabrušen in zglajen, da ga da v roko ubijalca.
12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.
Jokaj in tuli, človeški sin, kajti ta bo nad mojim ljudstvom, ta bo nad Izraelovimi princi. Strahote zaradi meča bodo nad mojim ljudstvom. Udari torej na svoje stegno.
13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no more?" says the LORD.
Ker je to preizkušnja in kaj če meč zaničuje celo palico? To ne bo več, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
14 "You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their rooms.
›Ti torej, človeški sin, prerokuj in zaploskaj s svojima rokama in naj bo meč tretjič podvojen, meč umorjenih. To je meč velikih ljudi, ki so umorjeni, ki vstopa v njihove skrivne sobe.
15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: Ah. It is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
Konico meča sem naravnal zoper vsa njihova velika vrata, da bo njihovo srce lahko slabelo in [bodo] njihovi propadi pomnoženi. Ah! Narejen je [da se] lesketa, zavit je za pokol.
16 'Gather yourselves together, go to the right, set yourselves in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.'
Pojdi eno pot ali drugo, ali na desno ali na levo, kamor je naravnan tvoj obraz.
17 I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, the LORD, have spoken it."
Tudi jaz bom plosknil s svojima rokama in bom umiril svojo razjarjenost. Jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.‹«
18 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
19 "Also, you son of man, appoint two ways that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
»Tudi ti, človeški sin, si določi dve poti, da bo lahko prišel meč babilonskega kralja. Obe bosta izšli iz ene dežele in izberi kraj, izberi ga ob začetku poti v mesto.
20 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem, the fortified.
Določi pot, da lahko pride meč v Rabo Amóncev in v Juda in zaščiteno [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
Kajti babilonski kralj je stal pri razpotju poti, ob začetku dveh poti, da uporabi vedeževanje. Svoje puščice je posvetlil, posvetoval se je z družinskimi maliki, gledal je v jetra.
22 In his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
Pri njegovi desni roki je bilo vedeževanje za [prestolnico] Jeruzalem, da določi častnike, da odpre usta v pokol, da povzdigne glas s kričanjem, da določi oblegovalne ovne proti velikim vratom, da nasuje nasip in da zgradi utrdbo.
23 It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
In to jim bo kakor napačno vedeževanje v njihovem pogledu, tistim, ki so prisegli prisege, toda v spomin bo priklical krivičnost, da bodo lahko zajeti.‹
24 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ker ste storili, da se bo spominjalo vaše krivičnosti v tem, da so vaši prestopki odkriti, tako da se pri vseh vaših dejanjih pojavijo vaši grehi; ker jaz pravim, da ste prišli v spomin, boste zajeti z roko.
25 "'You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
In ti, oskrunjen, zloben Izraelov princ, katerega dan je prišel, ko se krivičnosti naredi konec, ‹
26 thus says the LORD: "Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this shall be no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high."
tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Odstrani diadem in snemi krono. To ne bo [več] isto. Povišaj tistega, ki je nizek in ponižaj tistega, ki je visok.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.'
Jaz bom to preobrnil, preobrnil, preobrnil in tega ne bo nič več, dokler ne pride tisti, katerega pravica je to in njemu jo bom izročil.‹
28 "You, son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says the LORD concerning the people of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say, "A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
Ti pa, človeški sin, prerokuj in reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog glede Amóncev in glede njihove graje; celo reci: ›Meč, meč je izvlečen. Za pokol je zglajen, da použiva zaradi lesketanja.
29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Medtem ko zate vidijo ničnost, medtem ko ti vedežujejo laž, da te privedejo nad vratove tistih, ki so umorjeni izmed zlobnih, katerih dan je prišel, ko bo njihova krivičnost končana.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, will I judge you.
Ali mu bom povzročil, da se vrne v svojo nožnico? Sodil te bom na kraju, kjer si bil ustvarjen, v deželi tvojega rojstva.
31 I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
In nate bom izlil svoje ogorčenje in zoper tebe bom pihal v ognju svojega besa in te izročil v roko brutalnežev in veščih, da uničujejo.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be remembered no more: for I, the LORD, have spoken it."'"
Ti boš za gorivo ognju; tvoja kri bo v sredi dežele; ne bo se te več spominjalo, kajti jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.‹«
