Ezekiel 9

1 Zaklical je tudi z močnim glasom v moja ušesa, rekoč: »Povzročite tistim, ki imajo zadolžitev nad mestom, da se približajo, celo vsak človek s svojim uničevalnim orožjem v svoji roki.«

Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”

2 In glej, šest mož je prišlo po poti višjih velikih vrat, ki ležijo proti severu in vsak mož s pokončevalnim orožjem v svoji roki; in en mož izmed njih je bil oblečen z lanenim platnom, s pisarskim rogom, s črnilom ob njegovi strani in vstopili so in obstali poleg bronastega oltarja.

Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple and stood beside the bronze altar.

3 In slava Izraelovega Boga je odšla gor od keruba, nad katerim je bila, k hišnemu pragu. In zaklical je k možu, oblečenim z lanenim platnom, ki je imel pisarski rog s črnilom ob njegovi strani;

[Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,

4 in Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi skozi sredino mesta, skozi sredo [prestolnice] Jeruzalem in postavi znamenje na čela ljudi, ki vzdihujejo in ki jokajo zaradi vseh ogabnosti, ki se počno v njeni sredi.«

and said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”

5 Drugim pa je rekel v mojem slišanju: »Pojdite za njim skozi mesto in udarite. Naj vaše oko ne prizanaša niti ne imejte usmiljenja.

While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.

6 Popolnoma pobijte stare in mlade, tako device kakor majhne otroke in ženske, toda ne pridite blizu nobenemu človeku, na katerem je znamenje; in začnite pri mojem svetišču.« Potem so začeli pri starodavnih možeh, ki so bili pred hišo.

Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] in front of the temple.

7 Rekel jim je: »Omadežujte hišo in napolnite dvore z umorjenimi. Pojdite naprej.« In odšli so naprej in morili v mestu.

Then Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.

8 In pripetilo se je, medtem ko so jih pobijali in sem ostal sam, da sem padel na svoj obraz in jokal ter rekel: »Ah, Gospod Bog! Ali boš ves Izraelov preostanek uničil v izlivanju svoje razjarjenosti nad [prestolnico] Jeruzalem?«

While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] Jerusalem?”

9 Potem mi je rekel: »Krivičnost Izraelove in Judove hiše je silno velika in dežela je polna krvi in mesto polno perverznosti, kajti pravijo: › Gospod je zapustil zemljo in Gospod ne vidi.‹

He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’

10 In tudi kar se mene tiče, moje oko ne bo prizaneslo niti ne bom imel usmiljenja, temveč bom njihovo pot poplačal na njihovi glavi.«

[So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”

11 In glej, mož, oblečen z lanenim platnom, ki je imel ob svoji strani pisarski rog s črnilom, je poročal zadevo, rekoč: »Storil sem, kakor si mi zapovedal.«

Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
