¹Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

¹In duh me je vzdignil in me prenesel k vzhodnim vratom hiše GOSPODOVE, ki so obrnjena proti vzhodu. In glej, ob vhodu v vrata je bilo petindvajset mož; in videl sem sredi njih Jaazanija, sina Azurjevega, in Pelatija, sina Benajevega, kneza ljudstva.

²Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

²In mi je rekel: Sin človečji, to so tisti možje, ki izmišljajo krivico in sklepajo hudobne svete v tem mestu,

³Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.

³ki govore: Ni blizu čas, da bi zidali hiše; to mesto je lonec, mi pa meso.

⁴Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.

⁴Zatorej prorokuj zoper nje, prorokuj, sin človečji!

⁵And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.

⁵In duh GOSPODOV pride nadme in mi veli: Reci: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Tako ste govorili, o hiša Izraelova; kajti jaz vem, kar preudarjate v srcu svojem.

⁶Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

⁶Vi ste pomnožili prebodence svoje v tem mestu in ulice njegove ste napolnili s prebodenci.

⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

⁷Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Prebodenci vaši, ki ste jih ob tla pometali sredi mesta, oni so meso, to mesto pa je lonec; vas pa odpeljejo ven iz njega.

⁸Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.

⁸Meča ste se bali, in meč pripeljem nad vas, govori Gospod Jehova.

⁹And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

⁹In peljal vas bom iz mesta in vas dal v roke tujcem, in izvršim sodbe nad vami.

¹⁰Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

¹⁰Od meča boste padali: ob meji Izraelovi vas bom sodil. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

¹¹This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:

¹¹To mesto vam ne bo lonec, tudi vi ne boste meso sredi njega: ob meji Izraelovi vas bom sodil.

¹²And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.

¹²In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD, po čigar postavah niste živeli in čigar ustanovil niste izpolnjevali, temuč ravnali ste po naredbah poganskih narodov, ki so okoli vas. –

¹³And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

¹³In zgodilo se je, ko sem prorokoval, da je umrl Pelatija, sin Benajev. Tedaj padem na obraz in zavpijem z močnim glasom in rečem: Ah, Gospod Jehova! hočeš li docela pokončati ostanek Izraelov?

¹⁴Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁴In beseda GOSPODOVA pride do mene, govoreč:

¹⁵Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.

¹⁵Sin človečji, tvoji bratje, tvoji bratje, tvojega sorodništva možje in vsa družina Izraelova, vsi sploh so tisti, katerim so govorili prebivalci v Jeruzalemu: Ostanite daleč od GOSPODA! nam je ta dežela dana v posest.

¹⁶Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

¹⁶Zato reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Čeprav sem jih daleč pregnal med narode in čeprav sem jih razkropil po deželah, jim vendar hočem biti majhno svetišče po deželah, kamor so prišli.

¹⁷Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

¹⁷Zato reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Res, zberem vas izmed ljudstev in skupim vas iz dežel, v katere ste se razkropili, in dam vam zemljo Izraelovo.

¹⁸And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

¹⁸In ko pridejo vanjo, odpravijo iz nje vse ostude njene in vse gnusobe njene.

¹⁹And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

¹⁹In dam jim eno srce in dodelim novega duha v njih osrčje, in vzamem kameneno srce iz njih telesa in jim dam meseno srce:

²⁰That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

²⁰da bi živeli po mojih postavah in sodbe moje izpolnjevali in po njih ravnali. In bodo mi ljudstvo in jaz jim bodem Bog.

²¹But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

²¹Tistim pa, katerih srce živi po mislih njih grdob in gnusob, tistim spravim njih dejanje nad glavo, govori Gospod Jehova.

²²Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

²²Tedaj so vzdignili kerubimi peruti in kolesa so šla vzporedno ž njimi; in slava Boga Izraelovega je bila zgoraj nad njimi.

²³And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

²³In slava GOSPODOVA se je vzdignila iznad sredi mesta in se je ustavila na gori, ki je proti jutru pred mestom.

²⁴Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

²⁴In duh me vzdigne kvišku in me prenese v prikazni po duhu Božjem k ujetnikom v Kaldejo. In prikazen, ki sem jo videl, izgine gori pred menoj.In govoril sem ujetnikom besede GOSPODOVE, ki mi jih je bil pokazal.

²⁵Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.

²⁵In govoril sem ujetnikom besede GOSPODOVE, ki mi jih je bil pokazal.
