Ezekiel 20
1 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.
And it happened that, in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, men from the elders of Israel arrived, so that they might inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.
2 Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
3 »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.
“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Have you arrived in order to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, says the Lord God.
4 Ali jih hočeš soditi, človeški sin, ali jih hočeš soditi? Povzroči jim, da spoznajo ogabnosti njihovih očetov
If you judge them, if you judge, O son of man, reveal to them the abominations of their fathers.
5 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; ‹
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and I lifted up my hand on behalf of the stock of the house of Jacob, and I appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and I lifted up my hand on their behalf, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God,’
6 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.
in that day, I lifted up my hand for their sake, so that I would lead them away from the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which was singular among all lands.
7 Potem sem jim rekel: ›Vsak mož naj odvrže ogabnosti svojih oči in ne omadežujte se z egiptovskimi maliki.‹ Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
And I said to them: ‘Let each one cast away the offenses of his eyes, and do not choose to defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’
8 ›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.
But they provoked me, and they were not willing to listen to me. Each one of them did not cast away the abominations of his eyes, nor did they leave behind the idols of Egypt. And so, I said that I would pour out my indignation upon them, and fulfill my wrath against them, in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 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.
But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I appeared to them, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt.
10 Zatorej sem jim velel, da gredo iz egiptovske dežele in jih privedel v divjino.
Therefore, I cast them out of the land of Egypt, and I led them away into the desert.
11 In dal sem jim svoje zakone in jim pokazal svoje sodbe, katere, če jih človek izpolnjuje, bo torej živel v njih.
And I gave them my precepts, and I revealed to them my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them.
12 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.
Moreover, I also gave to them my Sabbaths, so that these would be a sign between me and them, and so that they would know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
13 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.
But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert. They did not walk in my precepts, and they cast aside my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they grievously violated my Sabbaths. Therefore, I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, and that I would consume them.
14 Toda ravnal sem zaradi svojega imena, da le-to ne bi bilo oskrunjeno pred pogani, v katerem pogledu sem jih privedel ven.
But I acted for the sake of my name, lest it be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, in their sight.
15 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;
And so I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, so as not to lead them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, the foremost of all lands.
16 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.
For they cast aside my judgments, and they did not walk in my precepts, and they violated my Sabbaths. For their heart went after idols.
17 Kljub temu jim je moje oko prizaneslo pred tem, da bi jih uničil niti jim v divjini nisem storil konca.
Yet my eye was lenient concerning them, so that I did not utterly destroy them, nor did I consume them in the desert.
18 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.
Then I said to their sons in the wilderness: ‘Do not choose to advance by the precepts of your fathers, nor should you observe their judgments. And do not be defiled by their idols.
19 Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog; ravnajte se po mojih zakonih in držite se mojih sodb in jih izvršujte;
I am the Lord your God. Walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them.
20 in posvečujte moje šabate; in te bodo znamenje med menoj in vami, da boste lahko vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog.‹
And sanctify my Sabbaths, so that these may be a sign between me and you, and so that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’
21 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.‹
But their sons provoked me. They did not walk in my precepts. And they did not observe my judgments, so as to do them; for if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they violated my Sabbaths. And so, I threatened that I would pour out my fury upon them, and that I would fulfill my wrath among them in the desert.
22 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.
But I turned aside my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, before their eyes.
23 V divjini sem prav tako svojo roko vzdignil k njim, da bi jih razkropil med pogane in jih razpršil skozi dežele;
Again, I lifted up my hand against them, in the wilderness, so that I would disperse them among the nations, and scatter them among the lands.
24 ker niso izvrševali mojih sodb, temveč so prezirali moje zakone in skrunili moje šabate in njihove oči so bile za maliki njihovih očetov.
For they had not accomplished my judgments, and they had rejected my precepts, and they had violated my Sabbaths. And their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.
25 Zatorej sem jim prav tako izročil zakone, ki niso bili dobri in sodbe, po katerih naj ne bi živeli;
Therefore, I also gave them precepts that were not good, and judgments by which they shall not live.
26 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.‹
And I defiled them by their own gifts, when they offered everything that opened the womb, because of their offenses. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
27 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.
For this reason, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God. Yet also in this did your fathers blaspheme me, after they had spurned and despised me,
28 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.‹
though I had led them into the land, about which I lifted up my hand, so that I might give it to them: They saw every lofty hill and every leafy tree, and there they immolated their victims, and there they presented the provocation of their oblations, and there they stationed their sweet fragrances, and poured out their libations.
29 Potem sem jim rekel: ›Kaj je visok kraj, kamor greste?‹ In njegovo ime je imenovano Bama do današnjega dne.
And I said to them, ‘What is exalted about the place to which you go?’ And yet its name is called ‘Exalted,’ even to this day.
30 Zato reci Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ali ste oskrunjeni po načinu svojih očetov? In grešite vlačugarstvo po njihovih ogabnostih?
Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Certainly, you are defiled by the way of your fathers, and you have fornicated after their stumbling blocks.
31 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.
And you are being defiled by all of your idols, even to this day, by the oblation of your gifts, when you lead your sons through the fire. And should I respond to you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not answer you.
32 In to, kar prihaja v vaše misli, sploh ne bo, da pravite: ›Mi bomo kakor pogani, kakor družine dežel, da služimo lesu in kamnu.‹
And the plan of your mind will not occur, saying: ‘We will be like the Gentiles, and like the families of the earth, so that we worship what is wood and stone.’
33 › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo bom z mogočno roko in z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo vladal nad vami
As I live, says the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured forth.
34 in vas izpeljem izmed ljudstva in vas zberem iz dežel, po katerih ste razkropljeni, z mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z izlito razjarjenostjo.
And I will lead you away from the peoples. And I will gather you from the lands into which you were dispersed. I will reign over you with a powerful hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.
35 In jaz vas bom privedel v divjino ljudstev in tam se bom pravdal z vami iz obličja v obličje.
And I will lead you into the desert of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you, face to face.
36 Podobno kakor sem se pravdal z vašimi očeti v divjini egiptovske dežele, tako se bom pravdal z vami, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
Just as I contended in judgment against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so also will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord God.
37 ›In povzročil vam bom, da boste šli pod palico in privedel vas bom v vez zaveze
And I will subject you to my scepter, and I will lead you into the bonds of the covenant.
38 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.
And I will select, from among you, the transgressors and the impious. And I will lead them away from the land of their sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
39 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.
And as for you, house of Israel: thus says the Lord God: Walk, each one of you, after your idols and serve them. But if in this also you will not listen to me, and you continue to defile my holy name with your gifts and with your idols,
40 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.
on my holy mountain, on the exalted mountain of Israel, says the Lord God, there all the house of Israel shall serve me; all of them, I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there I will require your first-fruits, and the foremost of your tithes, with all your sanctifications.
41 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.
I will receive from you a fragrance of sweetness, when I will have led you away from the peoples, and gathered you from the lands into which you were dispersed. And I will be sanctified in you before the eyes of the nations.
42 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.
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have led you into the land of Israel, into the land about which I lifted up my hand, so that I would give it to your fathers.
43 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.
And there you shall remember your ways and all your wickedness, by which you have been defiled. And you will be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, over all your evil deeds which you did.
44 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.‹«
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have acted well toward you for the sake of my name, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your very great wickedness, O house of Israel, says the Lord God.”
45 Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
46 »Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti jugu in svojo besedo spusti proti jugu in prerokuj zoper gozd južnega polja;
“Son of man, set your face against the way of the south, and pour in drops toward Africa, and prophesy against the forest of the field of the meridian.
47 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.
And you shall say to the meridian forest: Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and I will burn up within you every green tree and every dry tree. The flame of the kindling will not be extinguished. And every face will be burned up within it, from the south, even to the north.
48 In vse meso bo videlo, da sem ga zanetil jaz, Gospod. Ta ne bo pogašen.‹«
And all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it, and that it will not be extinguished.”
49 Potem sem rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! O meni pravijo: ›Mar on ne govori prispodob?‹«
And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! They are saying about me: ‘Does this man not speak except through parables?’”
