Ezekiel 18
1 The word of YHWH came to me again, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 "What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?'
»Kaj mislite, da uporabljate ta pregovor glede Izraelove dežele, rekoč: ›Očetje so jedli kislo grozdje, zobje otrok pa so skominasti?‹
3 As I live, says YHWH, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nič več ne boste imeli priložnosti, da v Izraelu uporabljate ta pregovor.
4 Look, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.
Glejte, vse duše so moje; kakor očetova duša, tako je tudi sinova duša moja. Duša, ki greši, ta bo umrla.
5 "But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
Toda če je človek pravičen in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno
6 and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,
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 and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
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8 he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
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 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says YHWH.
hodil po mojih zakonih in se držal mojih sodb, da pravilno postopa; ta je pravičen, zagotovo bo živel, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
10 "If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
›Če zaplodi sina ta, ki je ropar, prelivalec krvi in ki dela podobno katerikoli izmed teh stvari
11 and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
in ki ne dela katerokoli izmed teh dolžnosti, temveč je celo jedel po gorah in omadeževal ženo svojega soseda,
12 has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
zatiral revnega in pomoči potrebnega, plenil z nasiljem, ni povračal jamstva in svoje oči povzdigoval k malikom, zagrešil ogabnost,
13 has given forth on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be on him.
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, look, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;
Torej glej, če zaplodi sina, ki vidi vse grehe svojega očeta, ki jih je storil in preudarja in ne dela temu podobno,
15 who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
da ni jedel po gorah niti svojih oči ni povzdigoval k malikom Izraelove hiše, ni omadeževal žene svojega soseda
16 neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
niti nobenega ni zatiral, ni zadrževal jamstva niti ni plenil z nasiljem, temveč je svoj kruh dajal lačnemu in nagega pokrival z obleko,
17 who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely 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 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, look, he shall die in his iniquity.
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 "Yet you say, 'Why doesn't the son bear the iniquity of the father?' When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
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 The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
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 "But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not 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 his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Vsi njegovi prestopki, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bodo omenjeni. V svoji pravičnosti, ki jo je storil, bo živel.
23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?" says YHWH; "and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
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 when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
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 "'Yet you say, "The way of YHWH is not equal." Hear now, house of Israel: "Is my way not equal? Aren't your ways unequal?"
Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni primerna.‹ Poslušaj sedaj, oh Izraelova hiša; mar moja pot ni primerna? Ali niso vaše poti neprimerne?
26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it; in his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
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 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
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 he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ker preudarja in se odvrača proč od vseh svojih prestopkov, ki jih je zagrešil, bo zagotovo živel, ne bo umrl.
29 Yet the house of Israel says, "The way of YHWH is not fair." "House of Israel, aren't my ways fair? Aren't your ways unfair?"
Vendar Izraelova hiša pravi: ›Gospodova pot ni primerna.‹ Oh Izraelova hiša, mar moje poti niso primerne? Ali niso vaše poti neprimerne?
30 "'Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,' says YHWH. 'Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house 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 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,' says YHWH: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
Kajti jaz nimam nobenega zadovoljstva v smrti tistega, ki umira, ‹ govori Gospod Bog: ›zatorej se obrnite in živite.‹
