Ezekiel 21
1 In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 »Človeški sin, naravnaj svoj obraz proti Jeruzalemu in spusti svojo besedo proti svetim krajem in prerokuj zoper Izraelovo deželo
“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuaries; prophesy against the land of Israel.
3 in reci Izraelovi deželi: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe in izvlekel bom svoj meč iz nožnice in iz tebe bom iztrebil pravičnega in zlobnega.
Say to the land of Israel, 'Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you! I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous person and the wicked person from you!
4 Ker bom iz tebe iztrebil pravičnega in zlobnega, bo zato moj meč šel iz nožnice zoper vse meso od juga do severa,
In order for me to cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you, my sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
5 da bo lahko vse meso vedelo, da sem jaz, Gospod, izvlekel svoj meč iz nožnice. Ta se ne bo več vrnil.
Then all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have drawn my sword from its sheath. It will no longer hold back!'
6 Zdihuj torej, ti, človeški sin, s trganjem svojih ledij; in z grenkim vzdihom pred njihovimi očmi.
As for you, son of man, groan as your loins break! In bitterness groan before their eyes!
7 In zgodilo se bo, ko ti bodo rekli: ›Zakaj vzdihuješ?‹ da boš odgovoril: ›Zaradi novic, ker le-te prihajajo.‹ In vsako srce se bo stopilo in vse roke bodo slabotne in vsak duh bo medlel in vsa kolena bodo šibka kakor voda. Glej, to prihaja in se bo zgodilo, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.«
Then it will happen that they will ask you, 'For what reason are you groaning?' Then you will say, 'Because of the news that is coming, for every heart will faint away, and every hand will falter! Every spirit will grow faint, and every knee will flow like water. Behold! It is coming and it will be like this!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
8 Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
9 »Človeški sin, prerokuj in reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Reci: ›Meč, meč je nabrušen in tudi zglajen.
“Son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord says this: “Say: A sword! A sword! It will be sharpened and polished!
10 Nabrušen je, da naredi boleč pokol; zglajen je, da se lahko lesketa. Naj bi se mi potem razveseljevali? Ta zaničuje palico mojega sina kakor vsako drevo.
It will be sharpened in order to engage in great slaughter! It will be polished in order to be like lightning! Should we rejoice in my son's scepter? The coming sword hates every such rod!
11 In on ga je dal zgladiti, da bi lahko z njim rokoval. Ta meč je nabrušen in zglajen, da ga da v roko ubijalca.
So the sword will be given to be polished, and then to be grasped by the hand! The sword is sharpened and it is polished and it is to be given into the hand of the one who kills!”'”
12 Jokaj in tuli, človeški sin, kajti ta bo nad mojim ljudstvom, ta bo nad Izraelovimi princi. Strahote zaradi meča bodo nad mojim ljudstvom. Udari torej na svoje stegno.
Call for help and lament, son of man! For that sword has come against my people! It is against all the leaders of Israel. They are thrown against the sword with my people. Therefore, slap your thigh!
13 Ker je to preizkušnja in kaj če meč zaničuje celo palico? To ne bo več, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
For there is a trial, but what if the scepter does not last?—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
14 ›Ti torej, človeški sin, prerokuj in zaploskaj s svojima rokama in naj bo meč tretjič podvojen, meč umorjenih. To je meč velikih ljudi, ki so umorjeni, ki vstopa v njihove skrivne sobe.
Now you, son of man, prophesy and hit your two hands together, for the sword will attack even a third time! A sword for the ones to be slaughtered! It is a sword for the many to be slaughtered, piercing them everywhere!
15 Konico meča sem naravnal zoper vsa njihova velika vrata, da bo njihovo srce lahko slabelo in [bodo] njihovi propadi pomnoženi. Ah! Narejen je [da se] lesketa, zavit je za pokol.
In order to melt their hearts and to multiply their fallen, I have set the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Ah! It is made like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter.
16 Pojdi eno pot ali drugo, ali na desno ali na levo, kamor je naravnan tvoj obraz.
You, sword! Strike to the right! Strike to the left! Go wherever your face is turned.
17 Tudi jaz bom plosknil s svojima rokama in bom umiril svojo razjarjenost. Jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.‹«
For I will also hit my two hands together, and then I will bring my fury to rest! I, Yahweh, declare it!”
18 Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
19 »Tudi ti, človeški sin, si določi dve poti, da bo lahko prišel meč babilonskega kralja. Obe bosta izšli iz ene dežele in izberi kraj, izberi ga ob začetku poti v mesto.
“Now you, son of man, assign two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to come. The two roads will start in the same land, and a signpost will mark one of them as leading to a city.
20 Določi pot, da lahko pride meč v Rabo Amóncev in v Juda in zaščiteno [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
Mark one road for the Babylonian army to come to Rabbah, the city of the Ammonites. Mark the other to lead the army to Judah and the city of Jerusalem, which is fortified.
21 Kajti babilonski kralj je stal pri razpotju poti, ob začetku dveh poti, da uporabi vedeževanje. Svoje puščice je posvetlil, posvetoval se je z družinskimi maliki, gledal je v jetra.
For the king of Babylon will stop at the crossroads, at the junction, in order to practice divination. He will shake some arrows and ask direction from some idols and he will examine a liver.
22 Pri njegovi desni roki je bilo vedeževanje za [prestolnico] Jeruzalem, da določi častnike, da odpre usta v pokol, da povzdigne glas s kričanjem, da določi oblegovalne ovne proti velikim vratom, da nasuje nasip in da zgradi utrdbo.
In his right hand will be an omen about Jerusalem, to set battering rams against it, to open his mouth to order the slaughter, to sound a war cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect siege towers.
23 In to jim bo kakor napačno vedeževanje v njihovem pogledu, tistim, ki so prisegli prisege, toda v spomin bo priklical krivičnost, da bodo lahko zajeti.‹
It will seem to be a useless omen in the eyes of the ones in Jerusalem, those who had sworn an oath to the Babylonians! But the king will accuse them of violating their treaty in order to besiege them!
24 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ker ste storili, da se bo spominjalo vaše krivičnosti v tem, da so vaši prestopki odkriti, tako da se pri vseh vaših dejanjih pojavijo vaši grehi; ker jaz pravim, da ste prišli v spomin, boste zajeti z roko.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have made your guilt to be remembered, making your transgressions to be revealed, so that in all your actions your sins will be seen— because you have done this you will be taken in hand.
25 In ti, oskrunjen, zloben Izraelov princ, katerega dan je prišel, ko se krivičnosti naredi konec, ‹
As for you, profane and wicked ruler of Israel, whose day of punishment has come, and whose time of committing iniquity has ended,
26 tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Odstrani diadem in snemi krono. To ne bo [več] isto. Povišaj tistega, ki je nizek in ponižaj tistega, ki je visok.
the Lord Yahweh says this to you: Remove the turban and take off the crown! Things will no longer be the same! Exalt the lowly and humble the exalted!
27 Jaz bom to preobrnil, preobrnil, preobrnil in tega ne bo nič več, dokler ne pride tisti, katerega pravica je to in njemu jo bom izročil.‹
A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until the one comes who is assigned to execute judgment.
28 Ti pa, človeški sin, prerokuj in reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog glede Amóncev in glede njihove graje; celo reci: ›Meč, meč je izvlečen. Za pokol je zglajen, da použiva zaradi lesketanja.
So you, son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to the people of Ammon concerning their coming disgrace: A sword, a sword is drawn! It is sharpened for the slaughter in order to devour, so it will be like lightning!
29 Medtem ko zate vidijo ničnost, medtem ko ti vedežujejo laž, da te privedejo nad vratove tistih, ki so umorjeni izmed zlobnih, katerih dan je prišel, ko bo njihova krivičnost končana.
While prophets see empty visions for you, while they perform rituals to come up with lies for you, this sword will lie on the necks of the wicked who are about to be killed, whose day of punishment has come and whose time of iniquity is about to end.
30 Ali mu bom povzročil, da se vrne v svojo nožnico? Sodil te bom na kraju, kjer si bil ustvarjen, v deželi tvojega rojstva.
Return the sword to its sheath. In the place of your creation, in the land of your origin, I will judge you!
31 In nate bom izlil svoje ogorčenje in zoper tebe bom pihal v ognju svojega besa in te izročil v roko brutalnežev in veščih, da uničujejo.
I will pour out my indignation on you! I will fan the fire of my rage against you and put you into the hand of cruel men, craftsmen of destruction!
32 Ti boš za gorivo ognju; tvoja kri bo v sredi dežele; ne bo se te več spominjalo, kajti jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.‹«
You will become fuel for the fire! Your blood will be in the midst of the land. You will not be remembered, for I, Yahweh have declared this!'”
