Ezekiel 20
1 Almost seven years [King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been captured and taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the fifth [of that year], some Israeli elders came to me to [if I had a message for them] from Yahweh.
In pripetilo se je v sedmem letu, v petem mesecu, deseti dan meseca, da so določeni izmed Izraelovih starešin prišli, da bi povpraševali od Gospoda in se usedli pred menoj.
2 Then Yahweh gave me a message. [He said, ]
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
3 “You human, speak to the Israeli elders and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [say that] you have come to ask if there is any message from me [RHQ], but [as surely] as I am alive, I will [answer you if] you ask [to tell you] anything.’
»Človeški sin, govori Izraelovim starešinam in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste prišli, da povprašujete od mene? Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nočem biti povpraševan od vas.
4 If you are [RHQ] willing to warn them, remind them of the detestable things that their ancestors did.
Ali jih hočeš soditi, človeški sin, ali jih hočeš soditi? Povzroči jim, da spoznajo ogabnosti njihovih očetov
5 Then say to them, ‘On the day that I chose [you] Israeli [to belong to me], with my hand lifted up, I made a solemn promise to your [while they were still] in Egypt. I said to them, “I am Yahweh, your God.
in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Na dan, ko sem izbral Izraela in dvignil svojo roko k semenu Jakobove hiše in se jim dal spoznati v egiptovski deželi, ko sem vzdignil svojo roko k njim, rekoč: ›Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ‹
6 I will bring you out of Egypt and lead you to a land that I have chosen for you. It is a very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.
na dan, ko sem vzdignil svojo roko k njim, da jih privedem iz egiptovske dežele v deželo, ki sem jo odkril zanje, tekočo z mlekom in medom, ki je slava vseh dežel.
7 Each of you must get rid of the disgusting idols that you loved [IDM], and do not defile yourselves [worshiping] those [that you saw] in Egypt. I, Yahweh your God, [am saying this to you].”’
Potem sem jim rekel: ›Vsak mož naj odvrže ogabnosti svojih oči in ne omadežujte se z egiptovskimi maliki.‹ Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
8 But they rebelled against me. They would not pay attention to me. They did not get rid of the disgusting idols they loved, and they did not reject those [that they saw] in Egypt. So because I was angry with them, I said that I would punish [MTY] them in Egypt.
›Toda uprli so se zoper mene in me niso hoteli poslušati. Noben mož ni odvrgel ogabnosti svojih oči niti niso zapustili egiptovskih malikov. Tedaj sem rekel: ›Nanje bom izlil svojo razjarjenost, da dovršim svojo jezo zoper njih v sredi egiptovske dežele.
9 But for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something in order that I would not be dishonored by the people of the nations who would see it when I brought my people out of Egypt.
Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, med katerimi so bili, v čigar pogledu sem se jim dal spoznati v tem, da sem jih privedel iz egiptovske dežele.
10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the desert.
Zatorej sem jim velel, da gredo iz egiptovske dežele in jih privedel v divjino.
11 I gave them [all] my laws and decrees [DOU], in order that they would obey them, and as a result they would live [for a long time].
In dal sem jim svoje zakone in jim pokazal svoje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih.
12 Also, I established the Sabbath/rest days to be a symbol between us to show that I, Yahweh, had caused them to be set [from the other nations].
Poleg tega sem jim dal tudi svoje šabate, da bodo znamenje med menoj in njimi, da bodo lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ki jih posvečujem.
13 But the Israeli people rebelled against me in the desert. They did not obey my commands [DOU]; they rejected them, even though they tell people who obey them that they will live [for a long time], and they profaned the Sabbath days. So I said that I would get rid of them in the desert, and that would show that I was very angry with them.
Toda Izraelova hiša se je uprla zoper mene v divjini. Niso hodili po mojih zakonih in prezirali so moje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih; in moje šabate so silno oskrunili. Potem sem rekel: ›V divjini bom nadnje izlil svojo razjarjenost, da jih použije.
14 But [again], for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something else in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen me bring my people out of Egypt.
Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, v katerem pogledu sem jih privedel ven.
15 I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would not take them into the land that [had promised to] give them, a land that was very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.
Vendar sem prav tako vzdignil svojo roko k njim v divjini, da jih ne bom privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo dal, tekočo z mlekom in medom, katera je slava vseh dežel;
16 The reason that I promised that was because they rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and (desecrated/refused to rest on) the Sabbath days. [They did that] because they [SYN] were devoted [worshiping] their idols.
zato ker so prezirali moje sodbe in niso hodili po mojih zakonih, temveč so oskrunili moje šabate, kajti njihovo srce je šlo za njihovimi maliki.
17 But, I still pitied them and did not get rid of [all of] them in the desert.
Kljub temu jim je moje oko prizaneslo pred tem, da bi jih uničil niti jim v divjini nisem storil konca.
18 I said to their children, ‘Do not do the things that your parents continually did, or defile yourselves [worshiping] their idols.
Temveč sem njihovim otrokom v divjini rekel: ›Ne hodite po zakonih svojih očetov niti ne obeležujte njihovih sodb niti se ne omadežujte z njihovimi maliki.
19 I am Yahweh your God. Carefully obey [DOU] my laws and commands.
Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ravnajte se po mojih zakonih in držite se mojih sodb in jih izvršujte;
20 Respect my Sabbath days, in order that by doing that [PRS], it will remind you that you belong to me, Yahweh your God.’
in posvečujte moje šabate; in te bodo znamenje med menoj in vami, da boste lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
21 But their children [also] rebelled against me. They did not carefully obey my laws [DOU], [even though] the people who obey them will live [for a long time]; and they profaned the Sabbath days. So again I said that by getting rid of them in the desert, I would show that I was very angry with them.
Vendar so se otroci uprli zoper mene. Niso se ravnali po mojih zakonih niti se niso ravnali po mojih sodbah, da bi jih izpolnjevali, katere, če človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel po njih; oskrunjali so moje šabate. Potem sem rekel: ›Nadnje bom izlil svojo razjarjenost, da dovršim svojo jezo zoper njih v divjini.‹
22 But I did not do that [IDM]. [Again, ] for the sake of my own reputation, I [decided to] do something in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen it when I brought my people out [of Egypt].
Kljub temu sem umaknil svojo roko in zaradi svojega imena storil, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred očmi poganov, v čigar očeh sem jih izpeljal.
23 I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would cause them to be scattered among [many] nations [DOU],
V divjini sem prav tako svojo roko vzdignil k njim, da bi jih razkropil med pogane in jih razpršil skozi dežele;
24 because they had rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and desecrated the Sabbath days, and they had eagerly [to worship] the idols that their [had worshiped].
ker niso izvrševali mojih sodb, temveč so prezirali moje zakone in skrunili moje šabate in njihove oči so bile za maliki njihovih očetov.
25 I also allowed them to obey laws that were not good, and laws that would not enable them to live [a long time if they obeyed them].
Zatorej sem jim prav tako izročil zakone, ki niso bili dobri in sodbe, po katerih naj ne bi živeli;
26 I allowed them to become unacceptable to me by their sacrificing their firstborn children in the fire. I did that in order that they would be horrified, and in order that they would know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
in oskrunil sem jih v njihovih lastnih darovih, s tem, da so počeli, da gre skozi ogenj vse, kar odpre maternico, da bi jih lahko naredil zapuščene, z namenom, da bi lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod.‹
27 Therefore, you human, speak to the Israeli people. Say this to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you]: This is one way that your ancestors dishonored me by turning away from me.
Zatorej, človeški sin, govori Izraelovi hiši in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vendar so vaši očetje proti meni izrekali bogokletje v tem, da so zagrešili prekršek zoper mene.
28 After I brought them into the land that I had solemnly promised to give to them, every time that they saw a high hill or a [big] green tree, they offered [to idols] there. They made offerings to them, and that caused me to become angry. They presented to those idols their fragrant burning incense, and poured out wine offerings to them.
Kajti ko sem jih privedel v deželo, za katero sem vzdignil svojo roko, da jim jo dam, takrat so videli vsak visok hrib in vsa debela drevesa in tam so darovali svoje klavne daritve in tam so predstavljali izzivanje svojega daru. Tam so tudi naredili svoje prijetne dišave in tam so izlivali svoje pitne daritve.‹
29 [Then] I asked them, “Who [RHQ] [told you to worship at] a shrine like this, here on this hilltop?” So they are still called “hilltop shrines”.’
Potem sem jim rekel: ›Kaj je visok kraj, kamor greste?‹ In njegovo ime je imenovano Bama do današnjega dne.
30 Therefore, say this to the Israeli people [MTY]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You are going to [RHQ] defile yourselves like your ancestors did by strongly [to worship] their disgusting [statues of idols].
Zato reci Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste oskrunjeni po načinu svojih očetov? In grešite vlačugarstvo po njihovih ogabnostih?
31 When you sacrifice your children in the fire, you are still continuing to make yourselves unacceptable to me [worshiping] your many idols. You Israeli people, should I allow you to [what I want you to do]? I, Yahweh the Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, [I will not answer] if you inquire.'
Kajti ko darujete svoje darove, ko svojim sinovom povzročate, da gredo skozi ogenj, same sebe oskrunjate z vsemi svojimi maliki, celo do današnjega dne. In ali naj bom povpraševan od vas, oh Izraelova hiša? Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nočem biti povpraševan od vas.
32 You say, ‘We want to be like the [other] nations, like the [other] people-groups in the world. We want to [idols made of] wood and [like they do].’ But what you want will never happen.
In to, kar prihaja v vaše misli, sploh ne bo, da pravite: ›Mi bomo kakor pogani, kakor družine dežel, da služimo lesu in kamnu.‹
33 [I], Yahweh your Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, I will use my great power [DOU, MTY] to rule over you, and show that I am angry with you.
› Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bom z mogočno roko in z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo vladal nad vami
34 With my great power I will gather you from the places to which you have been scattered,
in vas izpeljem izmed ljudstva in vas zberem iz dežel, po katerih ste razkropljeni, z mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo.
35 and I will bring you to a [that is surrounded] by [other] nations. There, while I am looking at you, I will judge you.
In jaz vas bom privedel v divjino ljudstev in tam se bom pravdal z vami iz obličja v obličje.
36 I will punish you, like I punished your ancestors in the desert near Egypt.
Podobno kakor sem se pravdal z vašimi očeti v divjini egiptovske dežele, tako se bom pravdal z vami, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
37 I will count you [MTY] as you walk by, and I will force you to obey the agreement that I made with you.
›In povzročil vam bom, da boste šli pod palico in privedel vas bom v vez zaveze
38 I will get rid of those people among you who rebel [DOU] against me. Although I will bring them out [Babylonia], where they are now living, they will not enter Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
in izmed vas bom očistil upornike in tiste, ki so odpadli zoper mene. Izpeljal jih bom iz dežele, kjer začasno prebivajo in ne bodo vstopili v Izraelovo deželo in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.
39 As for you Israeli people [MTY], this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'Go and worship your idols now [IRO], each of you. But [afterwards], you will [surely] heed me and no longer dishonor me [MTY] by taking gifts to your idols.
Glede vas, oh Izraelova hiša, ‹ tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Pojdite, služite vsak svojim malikom in tudi v prihodnje, če mi nočete prisluhniti. Toda ne skrunite več mojega svetega imena s svojimi darovi in svojimi maliki.
40 [I], Yahweh your Lord, declare that there on my sacred hill, [Zion], that high hill in Israel, you will bring gifts to me, and I will accept them. I will require you to bring to me gifts and offerings there, and your sacrifices that are dedicated to me.
Kajti na moji sveti gori, na gori Izraelove višine, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›tam mi bo [služila] vsa Izraelova hiša, vsi izmed njih v deželi mi [bodo] služili. Tam jih bom sprejel in tam bom zahteval vaše daritve in prve sadove vaših daritev, z vsemi vašimi svetimi stvarmi.
41 When I bring you out from the [other] nations [DOU] to which you have been scattered, I will accept [as though you were] fragrant incense. By doing that, I will show the people of other nations that I have set you apart to belong to me.
Sprejel vas bom z vašim prijetnim vonjem, ko vas odvedem izmed ljudstev in vas zberem iz dežel, kamor ste bili razkropljeni; in jaz bom posvečen v vas pred pogani.
42 Then, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I solemnly promised with my hand lifted up that I would give to your ancestors, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].
In vedeli boste, da jaz sem Gospod, ko vas bom privedel v Izraelovo deželo, v deželo, za katero sem vzdignil svojo roko, da jo dam vašim očetom.
43 And [in Israel] you will remember how you conducted your lives [previously, you will remember] the actions that caused you to become unacceptable to me, and you will hate/despise yourselves for all the evil things that you have done.
In tam se boste spomnili svojih poti in vseh svojih dejanj, s katerimi ste bili omadeževani; in gnusili se boste samim sebi, v svojem lastnem pogledu, zaradi vseh svojih hudobij, ki ste jih storili.
44 When I act toward you Israeli people to protect my reputation, and not [just] because of your evil deeds and corrupt behavior, you Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].' That is what Yahweh the Lord declares.”
In spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod, ko z vami postopam zaradi svojega imena, ne glede na vaše zlobne poti niti ne glede na vaša izprijena početja, oh vi, hiša Izraelova, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
45 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
46 “You human, turn toward the south. Preach about what will happen to that dry land, to the forest there.
»Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti jugu in svojo besedo spusti proti jugu in prerokuj zoper gozd južnega polja;
47 Say to the forest in the [part of Israel]: 'Listen to this message that Yahweh the Lord is saying [about you]: “I am about to start a fire in your midst, and it will burn up all your trees, [both] the green trees and the withered/dry trees. Nothing will extinguish the blazing flames. And the fire will scorch the faces of everyone [who lives] in that area, from the south to the north.
in reci južnemu gozdu: ›Poslušaj Gospodovo besedo: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glej, v tebi bom zanetil ogenj in ta bo v tebi pogoltnil vsako zeleno drevo in vsako suho drevo. Plameneč ogenj ne bo pogašen in vsi obrazi, od juga do severa, bodo v njem ožgani.
48 Everyone will see that it is I, Yahweh, who have lit this fire, and no one will [be able to] put it out.” '”
In vse meso bo videlo, da sem ga zanetil jaz, Gospod. Ta ne bo pogašen.‹«
49 Then I said, “Yahweh, my Lord, [when I tell things like this to people, they do not believe me]. They say about me, ‘He is only telling parables.’”
Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! O meni pravijo: ›Mar on ne govori prispodob?‹«
