Ezekiel 34
1 In k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 »Človeški sin prerokuj proti Izraelovim pastirjem, prerokuj in jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog pastirjem: ›Gorje bodi Izraelovim pastirjem, ki pasejo same sebe! Ali naj ne bi pastirji pasli tropov?
“You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
3 Jeste tolščo in se oblačite z volno, koljete tiste, ki so rejeni, toda tropa ne pasete.
[It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
4 Bolnih niste krepili, niti niste zdravili tega, kar je bilo bolno, niti niste povezali tega, kar je bilo zlomljeno, niti niste ponovno privedli tega, kar je bilo odpeljano, niti niste iskali tega, kar je bilo izgubljeno; temveč ste jim vladali s silo in s krutostjo.
You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
5 In bili so razkropljeni, ker tam ni pastirja. In ko so bili razkropljeni, so postali hrana vsem živalim polja.
So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
6 Moje ovce so tavale po vseh gorah in na vsakem visokem hribu; da, moj trop je bil razkropljen po vsem obličju zemlje in nihče ni preiskoval ali iskal za njimi.‹
My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
7 Zato, vi pastirji, poslušajte Gospodovo besedo:
Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
8 › Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod Bog, ›zagotovo, ker je moj trop postal plen in je moj trop postal hrana vsaki divji živali polja, ker tam ni bilo pastirja niti moji pastirji niso iskali za mojim tropom, temveč so pastirji pasli same sebe in niso pasli mojega tropa;
As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
9 zato, oh vi pastirji, poslušajte Gospodovo besedo.
Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
10 Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, jaz sem proti pastirjem; in svoj trop bom zahteval iz njihove roke in jim povzročil, da prenehajo pasti trop; niti pastirji ne bodo več pasli same sebe; kajti svoj trop bom osvobodil iz njihovih ust, da ne bodo več hrana zanje.‹
I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
11 Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, jaz, celó jaz, bom tako iskal svoje ovce kot jih poiskal.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
12 Kakor pastir išče svoj trop na dan, ko je med svojimi ovcami, ki so razkropljene; tako bom poiskal svoje ovce in osvobodil jih bom iz vseh krajev, kamor so bile razkropljene na oblačen in temačen dan.
Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
13 In jaz jih bom privedel izmed ljudstva in jih zbral izmed dežel in jih privedel k njihovi lastni deželi in jih pasel na Izraelovih gorah, poleg rek in po vseh naseljenih krajih dežele.
I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
14 Pasel jih bom na dobrem pašniku in na visokih Izraelovih gorah bo njihova staja. Tam bodo ležale v dobri staji in pasle se bodo na obilnem pašniku na Izraelovih gorah.
[It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
15 Jaz bom pasel svoj trop in povzročil jim bom, da se uležejo, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
16 ›Iskal bom tisto, kar je bilo izgubljeno in ponovno privedel to, kar je bilo odvedeno stran in povezal bom to, kar je bilo zlomljeno in okrepil to, kar je bilo bolno. Toda uničil bom debelo in močno; jaz jih bom pasel s sodbo.
I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
17 Glede vas pa, oh moj trop, ‹ tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, jaz sodim med živino in živino, med ovni in kozli.
And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
18 Ali se vam zdi majhna stvar, da ste pojedli dobro pašo, toda s svojimi stopali morate pomendrati preostanek svojih pašnikov? In da ste pili od globokih vodá, toda preostanek morate zapacati s svojimi stopali?
It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
19 In glede mojega tropa, jedo to, kar ste poteptali s svojimi stopali, in pijejo to, kar ste zapacali s svojimi stopali.‹
[It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
20 Zato jim tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, jaz, celó jaz, bom sodil med debelo živino in med suho živino.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
21 Ker ste odrivali s stranjo in z ramo in vse bolne porivali s svojimi rogovi, dokler jih niste razkropili na tuje;
[who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
22 zatorej bom rešil svoj trop in nič več ne bodo plen; in sodil bom med živino in živino.
But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
23 In nadnje bom postavil enega pastirja in ta jih bo pasel, celó svojega služabnika Davida; pasel jih bo in on bo njihov pastir.
And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
24 In jaz, Gospod, bom njihov Bog in moj služabnik David princ med njimi; ‹ jaz, Gospod, sem to govoril.
I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
25 ›In z njimi bom sklenil zavezo miru in zlim živalim bom povzročil, da izginejo iz dežele; in tam bodo varno prebivali v divjini in spali v gozdovih.
I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
26 In jaz bom naredil njih in kraje naokoli svojega hriba blagoslov; in nalivu bom povzročil, da pride dol v svojem obdobju; tam bodo nalivi blagoslova.
I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
27 In drevo polja bo obrodilo svoj sad in zemlja bo obrodila svoj donos in oni bodo varni v svoji deželi in spoznali bodo, da jaz sem Gospod, ko zlomim vezi njihovega jarma in jih osvobodim iz roke tistih, ki so si od njih dali streči.
The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
28 In nič več ne bodo plen poganom niti jih ne bodo požrle kopenske živali; temveč bodo varno prebivali in nihče jih ne bo prestrašil.
[Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
29 In jaz bom zanje vzdignil ugleden nasad in ne bodo več použiti z lakoto v deželi niti ne bodo več nosili sramote poganov.
I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
30 Tako bodo vedeli, da sem jaz, Gospod, njihov Bog, z njimi in da so oni, celó Izraelova hiša, moje ljudstvo, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.
Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
31 ›Vi pa, moj trop, trop mojega pašnika, ste ljudje in jaz sem vaš Bog, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
[It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
