Ezekiel 22
1 Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 »Torej, človeški sin, ali boš sodil, ali boš sodil krvoločno mesto? Da, pokazal mu boš vse njegove ogabnosti.
“So, son of man, are you ready to judge them? Are you ready to judge the people of this city that have caused so much bloodshed? Make them face all the disgusting things they've done,
3 Potem reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Mesto v svoji sredi preliva kri, da lahko pride njegov čas in zoper sebe izdeluje malike, da se omadežuje.
and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You are a city who has caused your own doom by murdering people within your walls, and by making idols to worship that made you unclean.
4 Postalo si krivo v svoji krvi, ki si jo prelilo; in omadeževalo si se s svojimi maliki, ki si jih naredilo; in svojim dnevom si povzročilo, da so se približali in prišlo si celó k svojim letom. Zato sem te naredil za grajo poganom in zasmeh vsem deželam.
You are guilty of murder, and you have made yourself unclean by the idols you've made. You have shortened your lives—your time is up! That's why other people taunt you—everyone mocks you.
5 Tisti, ki so blizu in tisti, ki so daleč od tebe, te bodo zasmehovali, ki so neslavni in precej nadležni.
People far and near will laugh at you, you corrupt city full of confusion!
6 Glej, Izraelovi princi, vsak je bil v tebi k njihovi moči, da preliva kri.
Look at how all of your leaders in Israel use their power to murder.
7 V tebi so prezirali očeta in mater. V tvoji sredi so z zatiranjem postopali s tujcem. V tebi so nadlegovali osirotelega in vdovo.
You despise your parents. You exploit the foreigners who live with you, and you mistreat orphans and widows.
8 Preziralo si moje svete stvari in oskrunilo moje šabate.
You detest my holy things and violate my Sabbaths.
9 V tebi so ljudje, ki prenašajo govorice, da prelijejo kri; in v tebi jedo po gorah. V tvoji sredi zagrešujejo nespodobnost.
Living among you are people who falsely accuse others in order to put them to death. You also have those who eat religious meals at pagan shrines in the mountains, and commit immoral acts within the city.
10 V tebi so odkrili nagoto svojih očetov. V tebi so ponižali tisto, ki je bila oddvojena zaradi oskrunitve.
Some of those living in the city have sex with their father's wives or with women during their period.
11 In nekdo je zagrešil ogabnost z ženo svojega soseda; in drugi je opolzko omadeževal svojo snaho; in drugi je v tebi ponižal svojo sestro, hčer svojega očeta.
You're home to evil men. One does disgusting things with someone else's wife. Another seduces his daughter-in-law, while another rapes his sister, the daughter of his own father.
12 V tebi so jemali darila, da prelijejo kri. Jemalo si obresti in donos in z izsiljevanjem si lakomno pridobivalo od svojih sosedov in si me pozabilo, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
Your people take money to murder others. You charge interest and make a profit on loans, and use extortion to get money from your neighbors. You have forgotten all about me, declares the Lord God.
13 ›Glej, zato sem udaril svojo roko ob tvoj nepošten dobiček, ki si ga naredilo in pri tvoji krvi, ki je bila v tvoji sredi.
So watch out! I clap my hands in condemnation at your dishonest profiteering and at all your murders.
14 Ali tvoje srce lahko prenese, ali so tvoje roke lahko močne v dneh, ko bom obračunal s teboj? Jaz, Gospod sem to govoril in bom to storil.
Are you going to be so brave, and will you be strong enough to defend yourselves when it comes time for me to deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I'm going to act.
15 In razkropil te bom med pogane in te razpršil v dežele in iz tebe použil tvojo umazanost.
I'm going to scatter you among the nations and the different countries. I will put a stop to your unclean acts.
16 In vzelo boš svojo dediščino v sebi, pred očmi poganov in vedelo boš, da jaz sem Gospod.‹«
For when everyone else sees how you've made yourselves unclean, then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
17 In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 »Človeški sin, Izraelova hiša mi je postala žlindra. Vsi so bron, kositer, železo in svinec v sredi talilne peči; so celó srebrova žlindra.
“Son of man, the people of Israel have ended up like the impurities left over from refining metal. They're all like copper, tin, iron, and lead in the furnace—they are just the impurities left from refining silver.
19 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ker ste vsi postali žlindra, glejte, zato vas bom zbral v sredi [prestolnice] Jeruzalem.
So this is what the Lord God says: Because all of you have ended up like impurities, watch as I collect you together in Jerusalem.
20 Kakor oni zbirajo srebro in bron in železo in svinec in kositer v sredi talilne peči, da nanjo pihajo ogenj, da to raztalijo; tako vas bom jaz zbral v svoji jezi in svoji razjarjenosti in vas bom pustil tam in vas raztalil.
In the same way a refiner collects silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin and puts them in the blast furnace to melt them with fire, I'm going to collect you in my burning anger, and keep you there until I melt you.
21 Da, zbral vas bom in pihal nad vas v ognju svojega besa in vi boste raztaljeni v njeni sredi.
I'm going to collect you all together and blast you with the fire of my anger, and you'll be melted there in the city.
22 Kakor je srebro raztaljeno v sredi talilne peči, tako boste raztaljeni v njeni sredi in spoznali boste, da sem jaz, Gospod, nad vas izlil svojo razjarjenost.‹«
Just as silver is melted in a furnace, so you'll be melted in the city. Then you will realize that I, the Lord, have made you experience my anger.”
23 In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
24 »Človeški sin, reci ji: ›Ti si dežela, ki ni očiščena niti ni nanjo deževalo na dan ogorčenja.
“Son of man, tell the city of Jerusalem, at the time of punishment, you are a country that has not been made clean, a place where no rain has fallen,
25 Tam je zarota njenih prerokov v njeni sredi, podobna rjovenju leva, željnega plena. Požrli so duše, vzeli so zaklad in dragocene stvari; v njeni sredi so naredili mnogo vdov.
Her leaders conspire together and it's like watching a roaring lion ripping up its prey. They destroy the people, grab everything that's valuable, and make many more widows in the city.
26 Njeni duhovniki so prekršili mojo postavo in oskrunili moje svete stvari. Niso pokazali nobene razlike med svetim in oskrunjenim niti niso pokazali razlike med nečistim in čistim in svoje oči so skrili pred mojimi šabati in jaz sem med njimi oskrunjen.
Her priests pervert my law and make my holy things unclean. They don't distinguish between what is holy and what is ordinary, and they don't separate the clean from the unclean. They forget about my Sabbaths, and they lead people to treat me with no respect.
27 Njeni princi v njeni sredi so podobni volkovom, željnim plena, da prelijejo kri in da uničijo duše, da pridobijo nepošten dobiček.
Her city officials are like wolves ripping up their prey, killing people, destroying lives so they can profit through fraud.
28 In njeni preroki so jih ometali z neutrjeno malto, gledoč ničnost in vedeževali so jim laži, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog, ‹ ko Gospod ni govoril.
Her prophets cover up what they do, using false visions as whitewash and prophecies that are lies, saying, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ when the Lord hasn't said anything.
29 Ljudstvo dežele je uporabljalo zatiranje in izvajalo rop in jezilo revne in pomoči potrebne; da, krivično so zatirali tujca.
The people of this country are extortioners and robbers. They mistreat the poor and those in need and exploit the foreigners, treating them totally unfairly.
30 In iskal sem človeka med njimi, ki bi naredil ograjo in stal v razpoki pred menoj za deželo, da je ne bi uničil, toda nikogar nisem našel.
I tried to find one of them repair the wall and defend the gap so when I came I wouldn't destroy it—but I couldn't find anyone.
31 Zato sem nadnje izlil svoje ogorčenje; použil sem jih z ognjem svojega besa. Njihovo lastno pot sem poplačal na njihovih glavah, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
So I have let them experience my hostility, burning them up with the fire of my anger. I have made sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done, declares the Lord God.”
