Ezekiel 24
1 V devetem letu, v desetem mesecu, na deseti dan meseca je ponovno prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
Almost nine [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the tenth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
2 »Človeški sin, zapiši si ime dneva, celó tega istega dne. Babilonski kralj se je ta isti dan nameril zoper [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
“You human, write down what day of the month this is. On this [the army of] King of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem.
3 In izreci prispodobo uporni hiši ter jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Pristavi lonec, pristavi ga in prav tako vanj nalij vodo.
Tell those rebellious Israeli people [MTY] [in Babylon] a parable. Say this to them: This is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Pour water into the [cooking] pot and put the pot [the fire].
4 Zberi vanj kose, celó vsak dober kos, stegno in pleče; napolni ga z izbranimi kostmi.
Put into the pot some pieces of [from one of your best sheep]: Put in the leg and shoulder, [which are] the best pieces. [Then] fill [the rest of] the pot with the best 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.‹
Pile wood on the fire, and cook the bones and the meat in the boiling water.’
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.
[Do that] because this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Terrible things will happen [Jerusalem]; it is city that is full of murderers [MTY], [a city that is like] [MET] a scorched pot whose black residue inside cannot be removed. Take the pieces [of meat] out of the pot, but do not choose which pieces to take out.
7 Kajti njena kri je v njeni sredi; postavljala jo je na vrh skale; ni je izlivala na tla, da jo pokrije s prahom;
The blood of the people who were murdered in Jerusalem is still there; they were murdered on the bare rocks, not on the soil, where their blood could be covered.
8 da bi lahko povzročila razjarjenosti, da pride gor, da se maščuje; njeno kri sem postavil na vrh skale, da ne bi bila pokrita.‹
But I am the one who caused the blood of those who were murdered [MTY] to be smeared on the bare rock, where their blood could not be covered; I did that in order [I could see it and] then be angry and get revenge.’
9 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Gorje krvoločnemu mestu! Naredil bom celo grmado za velik ogenj.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘Terrible things will happen to that city that is full of murderers [MTY]! [It will be as though] I also will pile high [the wood in the fire].
10 Nakopičite les, zanetite ogenj, použijte meso in ga dobro začinite in naj bodo kosti sežgane.
[So], heap on the wood and light the fire! Cook the meat well, and mix some spices with it; cook it until the bones are charred.
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 the empty pot on the [of the fire] until the pot becomes [very] hot and the copper glows, with the result that the impurities and the rust will be burned up.
12 Samo sebe je izmučila z lažmi in njena velika plast umazanije ni šla ven iz nje. Njena plast umazanije bo v ognju.
[It is as though] I tried to get rid of that rust, but I was not able to do it, [not even] by putting that pot in a 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.
The [in the pot represents] your immoral behavior. I tried to cleanse you from your wicked behavior, but you did not allow me to do that. So you will not be [from the guilt of your sin] [I have punished you and] I am no longer angry.
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, Yahweh, have said [that I will surely punish you]. [And it is time] for me to do that. I will not change my mind; I will not refrain from punishing you, and I will not pity you. I will judge you [and punish you] as you deserve to be punished for your sinful behavior. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”’”
15 Prav tako je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
[One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
16 »Človeški sin, glej, z udarcem vzamem od tebe željo tvojih oči. Vendar ne boš žaloval niti jokal niti tvoje solze ne bodo tekle.
“You human, I am going to suddenly take from [your wife], whom you love very much. [when she dies], do [show that you are] sad or lament or cry.
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.«
Groan quietly; do not cry [openly] for her. [Keep] your turban wrapped around your head, [instead of being barefoot, keep] your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your [to show that you are sad]. And do not eat the kind of food that people who are mourning usually eat.”
18 Tako sem ljudstvu govoril zjutraj, zvečer pa je moja žena umrla; in zjutraj sem storil, kakor mi je bilo ukazano.
[one morning] I talked to the [as usual], and that evening my wife [suddenly] died. The next morning I did what [Yahweh] had told me to do.
19 In ljudstvo mi je reklo: »Ali nam ne boš povedal kaj so nam te stvari, da jih tako počneš?«
Then the people asked me, “What do the things that you are doing signify to us?”
20 Potem sem jim odgovoril: »K meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
So I said to them, “[This is what] Yahweh told me:
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.
‘Tell the Israeli people [MTY] that I am about to destroy the temple, [the building] that you are very proud of, the building that you delight to look at. Your children whom you [in Jerusalem when you were forced to come to Babylon] will be killed [their enemies’] swords.
22 In storili boste, kakor sem jaz storil: ne boste pokrili svojih ustnic niti jedli kruha od ljudi.
[When that happens], you will do like I have done: You will not cover the lower part of your faces, or eat the kinds of food that people who are mourning usually eat.
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.
[You will keep] your turbans wrapped around your heads and [keep] your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or cry, but your bodies will become very thin and slowly die because of your sins. And you will groan to each other.
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.
Ezekiel will be a warning to you, and you must do what he has done. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh the [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
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,
[Then Yahweh said to me], “You human, [soon] I will destroy their sacred temple, which they rejoice about and which they respect and delight to look at, and [I will get rid of] their sons and daughters also.
26 da bo tisti, ki pobegne na ta dan, prišel k tebi, da ti povzroči, da to slišiš s svojimi lastnimi ušesi?
On that day, someone will escape [from Jerusalem] and come and tell you what has happened [there].
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.‹«
When that happens, you will be able to speak again [MTY] [without constraint]. You two will talk together [DOU]. You will be a warning to the people; and they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
