Ezekiel 9
1 He cried also, in my hearing, with a loud voice, saying: Bring ye near the punishments of the city, every one his weapon of destruction in his hand.
Zaklical je tudi z močnim glasom v moja ušesa, rekoč: »Povzročite tistim, ki imajo zadolžitev nad mestom, da se približajo, celo vsak človek s svojim uničevalnim orožjem v svoji roki.«
2 And lo, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which looketh toward the north, every one with his slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ink-horn by his side; and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
In glej, šest mož je prišlo po poti višjih velikih vrat, ki ležijo proti severu in vsak mož s pokončevalnim orožjem v svoji roki; in en mož izmed njih je bil oblečen z lanenim platnom, s pisarskim rogom, s črnilom ob njegovi strani in vstopili so in obstali poleg bronastega oltarja.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub upon which it was to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink-horn by his side;
In slava Izraelovega Boga je odšla gor od keruba, nad katerim je bila, k hišnemu pragu. In zaklical je k možu, oblečenim z lanenim platnom, ki je imel pisarski rog s črnilom ob njegovi strani;
4 and Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that wail for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
in Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi skozi sredino mesta, skozi sredo [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in postavi znamenje na čela ljudi, ki vzdihujejo in ki jokajo zaradi vseh ogabnosti, ki se počno v njeni sredi.«
5 And to the others he said, in my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite! let not your eyes spare, neither have ye pity!
Drugim pa je rekel v mojem slišanju: »Pojdite za njim skozi mesto in udarite. Naj vaše oko ne prizanaša niti ne imejte usmiljenja.
6 The old man, the youth, the virgin, little children and women, slay and destroy; but come not near any one upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then began they at the elders that were before the house.
Popolnoma pobijte stare in mlade, tako device kakor majhne otroke in ženske, toda ne pridite blizu nobenemu človeku, na katerem je znamenje; in začnite pri mojem svetišču.« Potem so začeli pri starodavnih možeh, ki so bili pred hišo.
7 And he said to them, Pollute the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Rekel jim je: »Omadežujte hišo in napolnite dvore z umorjenimi. Pojdite naprej.« In odšli so naprej in morili v mestu.
8 And while they were smiting them, I alone was left; and I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the remnant of Israel, while thou pourest out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
In pripetilo se je, medtem ko so jih pobijali in sem ostal sam, da sem padel na svoj obraz in jokal ter rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Ali boš ves Izraelov preostanek uničil v izlivanju svoje razjarjenosti nad [prestolnico] Jeruzalem?«
9 And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, “Jehovah hath forsaken the land”; and, “Jehovah seeth not.”
Potem mi je rekel: »Krivičnost Izraelove in Judove hiše je silno velika in dežela je polna krvi in mesto polno perverznosti, kajti pravijo: › Gospod je zapustil zemljo in Gospod ne vidi.‹
10 Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity. Their way will I recompense upon their head.
In tudi kar se mene tiče, moje oko ne bo prizaneslo niti ne bom imel usmiljenja, temveč bom njihovo pot poplačal na njihovi glavi.«
11 And lo, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn by his side, returned answer, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
In glej, mož, oblečen z lanenim platnom, ki je imel ob svoji strani pisarski rog s črnilom, je poročal zadevo, rekoč: »Storil sem, kakor si mi zapovedal.«
