Ezekiel 33
1 Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 »Človeški sin, spregovori otrokom svojega ljudstva in jim reci: ›Ko privedem meč nad deželo, če ljudstvo dežele vzame človeka iz svojih obal in ga postavi za svojega stražarja.
“Son of man, tell your people: If I brought an army to attack a country, the people there would choose one of them to be their watchman.
3 Če ta zatrobi na šofar in posvari ljudstvo, kadar vidi nad deželo prihajati meč;
When he saw the army advancing to attack the country, he would blow the trumpet to warn everyone.
4 potem kdorkoli sliši zvok šofarja in ne sprejme svarila; če pride meč in ga vzame, bo njegova kri na njegovi lastni glavi.
So if you hear the trumpet but don't pay attention to the warning, and you're killed in the attack, you will be responsible for your own death.
5 Slišal je zvok šofarja in ni sprejel svarila; njegova kri bo nad njim. Toda kdor sprejme svarilo, bo rešil svojo dušo.
Since you heard the trumpet but didn't pay attention to the warning, then you will be responsible for your own death. If you had paid attention the warning, you could have saved your life.
6 Toda če stražar vidi prihajati meč, pa ne zatrobi na šofar in ljudstvo ni posvarjeno, če pride meč in vzame kateregakoli človeka izmed njih, je ta odvzet v svoji krivičnosti; toda njegovo kri bom zahteval iz stražarjeve roke.
But if the watchman saw the attack coming and didn't blow the trumpet to warn everyone, and someone is killed, then that person will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their death.
7 Tako sem tebe, oh človeški sin, postavil [za] stražarja Izraelovi hiši; zato boš slišal besedo pri mojih ustih in jih posvaril v mojem imenu.
Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I tell you and warn them for me.
8 Ko rečem zlobnemu: ›Oh zlobni človek, zagotovo boš umrl; ‹ če ne spregovoriš, da zlobnega posvariš pred njegovo potjo, bo ta zloben človek umrl v svoji krivičnosti, toda njegovo kri bom zahteval pri tvoji roki.
If I tell the wicked ‘You're wicked; you're going to die’; but you don't warn them to change what they're doing, then they'll die in their sins and I will hold your responsible for their deaths.
9 Vendar če posvariš zlobnega o njegovi poti, da se odvrne od nje; če se ta ne odvrne iz svoje poti, bo umrl v svoji krivičnosti; toda ti si rešil svojo dušo.
But if you warn the wicked to change what they're doing, and they don't, they will die in their sins, but you will save your own life.
10 Zato, oh ti, človeški sin, spregovori Izraelovi hiši: ›Tako govorite, rekoč: ›Če so naši prestopki in naši grehi nad nami in v njih hiramo, kako bi potem živeli?‹
Son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what they've been saying, ‘We recognize our sins and wrongs, and they weigh on us, wearing us out. How can we go on living?’
11 Reci jim: › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›nobenega zadovoljstva nimam v smrti zlobnega; temveč, da se zlobni odvrne od svoje poti in živi. Obrnite se, obrnite se od svojih zlih poti; kajti zakaj hočete umreti, oh hiša Izraelova?‹
Tell them: As I live, declares the Lord God, it brings me no pleasure when wicked people die. I wish they would stop sinning and live! Stop! Stop sinning! Why should you die, people of Israel?
12 Zato ti, človeški sin, reci otrokom svojega ljudstva: ›Pravičnost pravičnega ga ne bo rešila na dan njegovega prestopka. Glede zlobnosti zlobnega, on s tem ne bo padel na dan, ko se obrne od svoje zlobnosti; niti pravični ne bo zmožen živeti po svoji pravičnosti na dan, ko greši.
So, son of man, tell your people: All the good things a good person has done won't save them when they sin; while the bad things a bad person has done won't be a problem for them if they stop sinning. But good people won't live if they start sinning.
13 Ko bom rekel pravičnemu, da bo zagotovo živel; če ta zaupa svoji lastni pravičnosti in zagreši krivičnost, se vse njegove pravičnosti ne bo spominjalo; toda zaradi svoje krivičnosti, ki jo je zagrešil, bo zaradi nje umrl.‹
If I tell a good person that they will live and then they rely on their goodness and start sinning, then none of the good things they did will be remembered; he will die because of the sins.
14 Ponovno, kadar rečem zlobnemu: ›Ti boš zagotovo umrl; ‹ če se ta obrne od svojega greha in dela to, kar je zakonito in pravilno;
But if I tell a bad person, ‘You're going to die’ and they stop sinning and do what is good and right,
15 če zlobni povrne jamstvo, ponovno da, kar je naropal, se ravna po zakonih življenja, ne da bi zagrešil krivičnost; zagotovo bo živel, ne bo umrl.
if they return security given for a loan, pay back what they've stolen, and follows my laws about how to live, not doing wrong—then they will live; they won't die.
16 Nobeden izmed njegovih grehov, ki jih je zagrešil, mu ne bo omenjen. Storil je to, kar je zakonito in pravilno; zagotovo bo živel.‹
None of their sins will be remembered; they have done what is good and right and so they will live.
17 Vendar otroci tvojega ljudstva pravijo: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Toda kar se tiče njih, njihova pot ni enakovredna.
However, your people are complaining, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ But it's what they're doing that isn't right.
18 Ko se pravični obrne od svoje pravičnosti in grešno zagreši krivičnost, bo s tem torej umrl.
If a good person stops doing good and sins, they will die because of it.
19 Toda če se zlobni odvrne od svoje zlobnosti in počne to, kar je zakonito in pravilno, bo s tem živel.
On the other hand, if a bad person turns from their sins and they do what is good and right, they will live as a result.
20 Vendar vi pravite: ›Gospodova pot ni enakovredna.‹ Oh vi, hiša Izraelova, vsakogar bom sodil po njegovih poteh.‹«
So how can you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right’? Well, I'm going to judge each of you depending on what you've done, people of Israel.”
21 In pripetilo se je v dvanajstem letu našega ujetništva, v desetem mesecu, na peti dan meseca, da je tisti, ki je pobegnil iz [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, prišel k meni, rekoč: »Mesto je udarjeno.«
On the fifth day of the tenth month of the twelfth year of our exile, a refugee who'd escaped from Jerusalem arrived and told me, “The city has been captured!”
22 Torej Gospodova roka je bila nad menoj zvečer, prej, preden je prišel ta, ki je pobegnil. Odprl je moja usta, dokler ni oni zjutraj prišel k meni; in moja usta so bila odprta in nisem bil več nem.
The previous evening before the messenger arrived the Lord had touched me so I could speak again. This was before the man came to see me in the morning. I wasn't mute any longer—I could speak again.
23 Potem je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
24 »Človeški sin, tisti, ki poseljujejo opustošenosti dežele Izrael, govorijo, rekoč: ›Abraham je bil en in je podedoval deželo, toda nas je mnogo. Dežela nam je dana v dediščino.‹
“Son of man, people living among the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, but the country was given to him to own. There's plenty of us, so the country should belong to us.’
25 Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Vi jeste s krvjo in svoje oči povzdigujete k svojim malikom in prelivate kri; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with the blood still in it. You go and worship your idols. You commit murder. Do you really think the country should belong to you?
26 Stojite na svojem meču, počnete ogabnost in omadežujete, vsak ženo svojega soseda; in ali boste vzeli v last deželo?‹
You rely on your swords to get your way. You have done some disgusting things. You're all having sex with each other's wives. Should the country belong to you?
27 Tako jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog: › Kakor jaz živim, zagotovo bodo tisti, ki so v opustošenostih, padli pod mečem in kdor je na odprtem polju, ga bom izročil živalim, da bo požrt in tisti, ki so v utrdbah in votlinah, bodo umrli od kužne bolezni.
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: As I live, in the people living among the ruins will be killed by the sword. Those living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals. Those living in the fortresses and caves will die from disease.
28 Kajti jaz bom deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno in pomp njene moči bo prenehal; in gore Izraelove bodo zapuščene, da nihče ne bo šel čeznje.
I will turn the country into a wasteland, and power you are so proud of will be ended. The mountains of Israel will become wild places that no one will want to travel through.
29 Potem bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem deželo naredil najbolj zapuščeno zaradi vseh njihovih ogabnosti, ki so jih zagrešili.
Then the people will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I have turned the country into a wasteland because of all the disgusting things they have done.
30 Tudi ti, človeški sin, otroci tvojega ljudstva še vedno govorijo zoper tebe pri zidovih in v vratih hiš in drug drugemu govorijo, vsak svojemu bratu, rekoč: ›Pridi, prosim te in poslušaj, kakšna je beseda, ki prihaja od Gospoda.‹
Son of man, your people are talking about you out in the streets and in the doorways of their houses. They encourage one another, saying, ‘Come on! Let's go and hear a message from the Lord!’
31 In k tebi pridejo kakor prihajajo ljudje in sedijo pred teboj kakor moje ljudstvo in slišijo tvoje besede, toda nočejo jih izpolnjevati, kajti s svojimi usti so pokazali mnogo ljubezni, toda njihovo srce gre za njihovo pohlepnostjo.
So my people come and visit you like they usually do. They sit and listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it. Even though they talk about love, all they're thinking about is how to cheat others.
32 In glej, ti si jim kakor zelo očarljiva pesem nekoga, ki ima prijeten glas in lahko dobro igra na glasbilo, kajti slišijo tvoje besede, toda po njih se ne ravnajo.
In fact, to them you're just someone who sings love songs with a lovely voice and who is a fine musician. They listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it.
33 In ko se to zgodi (glej, to bo prišlo), potem bodo vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.‹«
So when what you say does happen (and it will), then they will realize that they did have a prophet among them.”
