< Ezekiel 33 >

1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
»Človeški sin, spregovori otrokom svojega ljudstva in jim reci: ›Ko privedem meč nad deželo, če ljudstvo dežele vzame človeka iz svojih obal in ga postavi za svojega stražarja.
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
Če ta zatrobi na šofar in posvari ljudstvo, kadar vidi nad deželo prihajati meč;
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
potem kdorkoli sliši zvok šofarja in ne sprejme svarila; če pride meč in ga vzame, bo njegova kri na njegovi lastni glavi.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Slišal je zvok šofarja in ni sprejel svarila; njegova kri bo nad njim. Toda kdor sprejme svarilo, bo rešil svojo dušo.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
Toda če stražar vidi prihajati meč, pa ne zatrobi na šofar in ljudstvo ni posvarjeno, če pride meč in vzame kateregakoli človeka izmed njih, je ta odvzet v svoji krivičnosti; toda njegovo kri bom zahteval iz stražarjeve roke.
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
Tako sem tebe, oh človeški sin, postavil [za] stražarja Izraelovi hiši; zato boš slišal besedo pri mojih ustih in jih posvaril v mojem imenu.
8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
Ko rečem zlobnemu: ›Oh zlobni človek, zagotovo boš umrl; ‹ če ne spregovoriš, da zlobnega posvariš pred njegovo potjo, bo ta zloben človek umrl v svoji krivičnosti, toda njegovo kri bom zahteval pri tvoji roki.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Vendar če posvariš zlobnega o njegovi poti, da se odvrne od nje; če se ta ne odvrne iz svoje poti, bo umrl v svoji krivičnosti; toda ti si rešil svojo dušo.
10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
Zato, oh ti, človeški sin, spregovori Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govorite, rekoč: ›Če so naši prestopki in naši grehi nad nami in v njih hiramo, kako bi potem živeli?‹
11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
Reci jim: › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nobenega zadovoljstva nimam v smrti zlobnega; temveč, da se zlobni odvrne od svoje poti in živi. Obrnite se, obrnite se od svojih zlih poti; kajti zakaj hočete umreti, oh hiša Izraelova?‹
12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
Zato ti, človeški sin, reci otrokom svojega ljudstva: ›Pravičnost pravičnega ga ne bo rešila na dan njegovega prestopka. Glede zlobnosti zlobnega, on s tem ne bo padel na dan, ko se obrne od svoje zlobnosti; niti pravični ne bo zmožen živeti po svoji pravičnosti na dan, ko greši.
13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
Ko bom rekel pravičnemu, da bo zagotovo živel; če ta zaupa svoji lastni pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost, se vse njegove pravičnosti ne bo spominjalo; toda zaradi svoje krivičnosti, ki jo je zagrešil, bo zaradi nje umrl.‹
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
Ponovno, kadar rečem zlobnemu: ›Ti boš zagotovo umrl; ‹ če se ta obrne od svojega greha in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno;
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
če zlobni povrne jamstvo, ponovno da, kar je naropal, se ravna po zakonih življenja, ne da bi zagrešil krivičnost; zagotovo bo živel, ne bo umrl.
16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
Nobeden izmed njegovih grehov, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bo omenjen. Storil je to, kar je zakonito in pravilno; zagotovo bo živel.‹
17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
Vendar otroci tvojega ljudstva pravijo: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Toda kar se tiče njih, njihova pot ni enakovredna.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
Ko se pravični obrne od svoje pravičnosti in grešno zagreši krivičnost, bo s tem torej umrl.
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
Toda če se zlobni odvrne od svoje zlobnosti in počne to, kar je zakonito in pravilno, bo s tem živel.
20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Oh vi, hiša Izraelova, vsakogar bom sodil po njegovih poteh.‹«
21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
In pripetilo se je v dvanajstem letu našega ujetništva, v desetem mesecu, na peti dan meseca, da je tisti, ki je pobegnil iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, prišel k meni, rekoč: »Mesto je udarjeno.«
22 Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
Torej Gospodova roka je bila nad menoj zvečer, prej, preden je prišel ta, ki je pobegnil. Odprl je moja usta, dokler ni oni zjutraj prišel k meni; in moja usta so bila odprta in nisem bil več nem.
23 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
»Človeški sin, tisti, ki poseljujejo opustošenosti dežele Izrael, govorijo, rekoč: ›Abraham je bil en in je podedoval deželo, toda nas je mnogo. Dežela nam je dana v dediščino.‹
25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vi jeste s krvjo in svoje oči povzdigujete k svojim malikom in prelivate kri; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
Stojite na svojem meču, počnete ogabnost in omadežujete, vsak ženo svojega soseda; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?‹
27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
Tako jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: › Kakor jaz živim, zagotovo bodo tisti, ki so v opustošenostih, padli pod mečem in kdor je na odprtem polju, ga bom izročil živalim, da bo požrt in tisti, ki so v utrdbah in votlinah, bodo umrli od kužne bolezni.
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
Kajti jaz bom deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno in pomp njene moči bo prenehal; in gore Izraelove bodo zapuščene, da nihče ne bo šel čeznje.
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
Potem bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno zaradi vseh njihovih ogabnosti, ki so jih zagrešili.
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
Tudi ti, človeški sin, otroci tvojega ljudstva še vedno govorijo zoper tebe pri zidovih in v vratih hiš in drug drugemu govorijo, vsak svojemu bratu, rekoč: ›Pridi, prosim te in poslušaj, kakšna je beseda, ki prihaja od Gospoda.‹
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
In k tebi pridejo kakor prihajajo ljudje in sedijo pred teboj kakor moje ljudstvo in slišijo tvoje besede, toda nočejo jih izpolnjevati, kajti s svojimi usti so pokazali mnogo ljubezni, toda njihovo srce gre za njihovo pohlepnostjo.
32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
In glej, ti si jim kakor zelo očarljiva pesem nekoga, ki ima prijeten glas in lahko dobro igra na glasbilo, kajti slišijo tvoje besede, toda po njih se ne ravnajo.
33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
In ko se to zgodi (glej, to bo prišlo), potem bodo vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.‹«
