Ezekiel 18
1 Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,
2 »Kaj mislite, da uporabljate ta pregovor glede Izraelove dežele, rekoč: ›Očetje so jedli kislo grozdje, zobje otrok pa so skominasti?‹
What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
3 Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nič več ne boste imeli priložnosti, da v Izraelu uporabljate ta pregovor.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Glejte, vse duše so moje; kakor očetova duša, tako je tudi sinova duša moja. Duša, ki greši, ta bo umrla.
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
5 Toda če je človek pravičen in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno
But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
6 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,
and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her separation;
7 in ni nikogar zatiral, temveč je dolžniku povrnil njegovo jamstvo, ni nikogar oplenil z nasiljem, svoj kruh dajal lačnemu in nagega pokrival z obleko;
and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
8 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,
he that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
9 hodil po mojih zakonih in se držal mojih sodb, da pravilno postopa; ta je pravičen, zagotovo bo živel, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
10 ›Če zaplodi sina ta, ki je ropar, prelivalec krvi in ki dela podobno katerikoli izmed teh stvari
If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth any one of these things,
11 in ki ne dela katerokoli izmed teh dolžnosti, temveč je celo jedel po gorah in omadeževal ženo svojega soseda,
and that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife,
12 zatiral revnega in pomoči potrebnega, plenil z nasiljem, ni povračal jamstva in svoje oči povzdigoval k malikom, zagrešil ogabnost,
hath wronged the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
13 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.
hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations: he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
14 Torej glej, če zaplodi sina, ki vidi vse grehe svojega očeta, ki jih je storil in preudarja in ne dela temu podobno,
Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doth not such like,
15 da ni jedel po gorah niti svojih oči ni povzdigoval k malikom Izraelove hiše, ni omadeževal žene svojega soseda
that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife,
16 niti nobenega ni zatiral, ni zadrževal jamstva niti ni plenil z nasiljem, temveč je svoj kruh dajal lačnemu in nagega pokrival z obleko,
neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
17 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.
that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
18 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.
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
19 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.
Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
20 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.
The soul that sinneth, it 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 upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 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.
But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 Vsi njegovi prestopki, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bodo omenjeni. V svoji pravičnosti, ki jo je storil, bo živel.
None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
23 Ali imam sploh kakšno zadovoljstvo, da bi zlobni umrl?‹ govori Gospod Bog: › in ne, da bi se vrnil iz svojih poti in živel?
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord GOD: and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
24 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.
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni primerna.‹ Poslušaj sedaj, oh Izraelova hiša; mar moja pot ni primerna? Ali niso vaše poti neprimerne?
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 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.
When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 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.
Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Ker preudarja in se odvrača proč od vseh svojih prestopkov, ki jih je zagrešil, bo zagotovo živel, ne bo umrl.
Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Vendar Izraelova hiša pravi: ›Gospodova pot ni primerna.‹ Oh Izraelova hiša, mar moje poti niso primerne? Ali niso vaše poti neprimerne?
Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 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.
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 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?
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereto ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Kajti jaz nimam nobenega zadovoljstva v smrti tistega, ki umira, ‹ govori Gospod Bog: ›zatorej se obrnite in živite.‹
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
