Ezekiel 24

1 V devetem letu, v desetem mesecu, na deseti dan meseca je ponovno prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 »Človeški sin, zapiši si ime dneva, celó tega istega dne. Babilonski kralj se je ta isti dan nameril zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.

Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this selfsame day: the king of Babylon drew close unto Jerusalem this selfsame day.

3 In izreci prispodobo uporni hiši ter jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Pristavi lonec, pristavi ga in prav tako vanj nalij vodo.

And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:

4 Zberi vanj kose, celó vsak dober kos, stegno in pleče; napolni ga z izbranimi kostmi.

gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

5 Vzemi izbrano od tropa in pod njim prav tako sežgi kosti in naredi, da bo dobro vrelo in v njem naj prevrejo njegove kosti.‹

Take the choice of the flock, and pile also the bones under it: make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be seethed in the midst of it.

6 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Gorje krvoločnemu mestu, loncu, čigar plast umazanije je v njem in katerega plast umazanije ni odšla od njega! Prinesi to ven, kos za kosom; naj noben žreb ne pade na to.

Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; no lot is fallen upon it.

7 Kajti njena kri je v njeni sredi; postavljala jo je na vrh skale; ni je izlivala na tla, da jo pokrije s prahom;

For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

8 da bi lahko povzročila razjarjenosti, da pride gor, da se maščuje; njeno kri sem postavil na vrh skale, da ne bi bila pokrita.‹

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.

9 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Gorje krvoločnemu mestu! Naredil bom celo grmado za velik ogenj.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.

10 Nakopičite les, zanetite ogenj, použijte meso in ga dobro začinite in naj bodo kosti sežgane.

Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned.

11 Potem ga praznega postavite na ognjeno oglje, da njegov bron lahko razbeli in lahko zagori in da bo njegova umazanost lahko v njem stopljena, da bo plast umazanije v njem lahko použita.

Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the rust of it may be consumed.

12 Samo sebe je izmučila z lažmi in njena velika plast umazanije ni šla ven iz nje. Njena plast umazanije bo v ognju.

She hath wearied [herself] with toil: yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her; her rust [goeth not forth] by fire.

13 V tvoji umazanosti je nespodobnost. Ker sem te očistil, ti pa nisi bila očiščena, ne boš več očiščena svoje umazanosti, dokler svoji razjarjenosti ne storim, da počiva na tebi.

In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have satisfied my fury upon thee.

14 Jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril. To se bo zgodilo in jaz bom to storil; ne bom šel nazaj niti ne bom prizanašal niti se ne bom kesal; glede na tvoje poti in glede na tvoja početja te bodo sodili, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.«

I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

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

Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

16 »Človeški sin, glej, z udarcem vzamem od tebe željo tvojih oči. Vendar ne boš žaloval niti jokal niti tvoje solze ne bodo tekle.

Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

17 Zadrži se jokanja, nobenega žalovanja za mrtvimi ne opravljaj, nad svojo glavo si zaveži ruto in nadeni si svoje čevlje na svoja stopala in ne pokrivaj svojih ustnic in ne jej kruha od ljudi.«

Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead, bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

18 Tako sem ljudstvu govoril zjutraj, zvečer pa je moja žena umrla; in zjutraj sem storil, kakor mi je bilo ukazano.

So I spake unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died: and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

19 In ljudstvo mi je reklo: »Ali nam ne boš povedal kaj so nam te stvari, da jih tako počneš?«

And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

20 Potem sem jim odgovoril: »K meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

Then I said unto them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

21 ›Govori Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, oskrunil bom svoje svetišče, odličnost vaše moči, željo vaših oči in to, kar vaša duša pomiluje; in vaši sinovi in vaše hčere, ki ste jih pustili, bodo padli pod mečem.

Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.

22 In storili boste, kakor sem jaz storil: ne boste pokrili svojih ustnic niti jedli kruha od ljudi.

And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

23 In vaše rute bodo na vaših glavah in vaši čevlji na vaših stopalih. Ne boste niti žalovali niti jokali; temveč boste hirali zaradi svojih krivičnosti in žalovali drug proti drugemu.

And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.

24 Tako vam je Ezekiel znamenje: glede na vse, kar je storil, boste vi storili. In ko to pride, boste spoznali, da jaz sem Gospod Bog.

Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord GOD.

25 Tudi ti, človeški sin, ali ne bo to na dan, ko jim odvzamem njihovo moč, radost njihove slave, željo njihovih oči in to, na kar so naravnali svoje ume, njihove sinove in njihove hčere,

And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,

26 da bo tisti, ki pobegne na ta dan, prišel k tebi, da ti povzroči, da to slišiš s svojimi lastnimi ušesi?

that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

27 Na tisti dan se bodo tvoja usta odprla k tistemu, ki je pobegnil in govoril boš in ne boš več nem. Ti jim boš znamenje. In spoznali bodo, da jaz sem Gospod.‹«

In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
