Ezekiel 12

1 Prav tako je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,

2 »Človeški sin, prebivaš v sredi uporne hiše, ki imajo oči, da vidijo, pa ne vidijo; imajo ušesa, da slišijo, pa ne slišijo, kajti uporna hiša so.

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

3 Zato, človeški sin, si pripravi stvari za selitev in se preseli podnevi, v njihovem pogledu; in preselil se boš iz svojega kraja na drug kraj, v njihovem pogledu. Morda bodo to preudarili, kajti uporna hiša so.

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee thy baggage for captivity, and move by day in their sight; and thou shalt move from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

4 Potem boš podnevi prinesel svoje stvari, v njihovem pogledu, kakor stvari za selitev, in zvečer boš šel naprej, v njihovem pogledu, kakor tisti, ki gredo naprej v ujetništvo.

Then shalt thou bring forth thy baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for captivity: and thou shalt go forth at evening in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

5 Prekoplji se skozi steno, v njihovem pogledu in tam odnesi ven.

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry them out through it.

6 V njihovem pogledu boš to nosil na svojih ramenih in to boš prenašal naprej v mraku. Pokril si boš svoj obraz, da ne vidiš tal, kajti postavil sem te za znamenje Izraelovi hiši.«

In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou mayest not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.

7 In storil sem tako, kakor mi je bilo zapovedano. Podnevi sem prinesel svoje stvari, kakor stvari za v ujetništvo, zvečer pa sem se s svojo roko prekopál skozi zid; to sem prinesel naprej v mraku in to sem nosil na svojem ramenu, v njihovem pogledu.

And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.

8 In zjutraj mi je prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:

And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,

9 »Človeški sin, ali ti ni Izraelova hiša, uporna hiša, rekla: ›Kaj delaš?‹

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What doest thou?

10 Povej jim: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›To breme zadeva princa v [prestolnici] Jeruzalem in vso Izraelovo hišo, ki so med njimi.‹

Say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

11 Reci: ›Jaz sem vaše znamenje. Kakor sem jaz storil, tako bo storjeno njim. Odselili se bodo in odšli v ujetništvo.

Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall move and go into captivity.

12 In princ, ki je med njimi, bo v mraku nosil na svojem ramenu in bo šel naprej. Prekopali bodo skozi zid, da bi tamkaj nosili ven skozi steno. Pokril si bo svoj obraz, da s svojimi očmi ne bo videl tal.

And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it: he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.

13 Tudi svojo mrežo bom razširil nad njim in zajet bo v mojo zanko, in privedel ga bom v Babilon, v deželo Kaldejcev; vendar je ne bo videl, čeprav bo tam umrl.

My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

14 In vse, ki so okoli njega, da mu pomagajo, bom razkropil proti vsakemu vetru in vse njegove čete; in za njimi bom izvlekel meč.

And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15 In spoznali bodo, da jaz sem Gospod, ko jih bom razkropil med narode in jih razpršil v dežele.

And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

16 Toda izločil bom peščico ljudi izmed njih pred mečem, pred lakoto in kužno boleznijo; da bodo med pogani, kamor pridejo, lahko razglasili vse svoje ogabnosti; in spoznali bodo, da jaz sem Gospod.‹«

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

17 Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

18 »Človeški sin, svoj kruh jej z drgetanjem in svojo vodo pij s trepetanjem in previdnostjo;

Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and anxious care;

19 in povej ljudstvu dežele: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog o prebivalcih [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in o Izraelovi deželi: ›Svoj kruh bodo jedli s previdnostjo in svojo vodo pili z osuplostjo, da bo njihova dežela lahko zapuščena od vseh, ki so v njej, zaradi nasilja vseh tistih, ki prebivajo v njej.

And say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with anxious care, and drink their water with horror, that her land may be desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all them that dwell in it.

20 In mesta, ki so naseljena, bodo opustošena in dežela bo zapuščena; in spoznali boste, da jaz sem Gospod.‹«

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

21 In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

22 »Človeški sin, kakšen je ta pregovor, ki ga imate v Izraelovi deželi, rekoč: ›Dnevi so podaljšani in vsako videnje odpove?‹

Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

23 Povej jim torej: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Temu pregovoru bom storil, da preneha in ne bodo ga več uporabljali kot pregovor v Izraelu; temveč jim reci: ›Blizu so dnevi in učinek vsakega videnja.

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

24 Kajti nobenih praznih videnj ne bo več niti laskajočih vedeževanj znotraj Izraelove hiše.

For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25 Kajti jaz sem Gospod. Jaz bom govoril in beseda, ki jo bom govoril, se bo izpolnila; ta se ne bo več odlagala, kajti v vaših dneh, oh uporna hiša, bom rekel besedo in jo izpolnil, govori Gospod Bog.‹«

For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

26 Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

27 »Človeški sin, glej, tisti iz Izraelove hiše pravijo: ›Videnje, ki ga on vidi, je za mnoge dni, ki pridejo in prerokuje o časih, ki so še daleč.‹

Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are distant.

28 Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Nobena izmed mojih besed se ne bo več odlagala, temveč se bo beseda, ki sem jo govoril, izpolnila, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.«

Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be further deferred, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
