¹The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

¹In pride mi beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

²Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

²Sin človečji, prebivaš sredi uporne družine: imajo oči, da bi videli, a ne vidijo, ušesa, da bi slišali, a ne slišijo, ker so uporna družina.

³Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

³Zato si ti, sin človečji, pripravi reči za selitev, in seli se po dnevi pred njih očmi. In preseliš se z mesta svojega v drugi kraj, njim pred očmi: morebiti spoznajo, da so uporna družina.

⁴Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

⁴In po dnevi pred njih očmi iznosi svoje reči kakor za selitev; sam pa odrini zvečer vpričo njih, kakor odidejo ljudje v pregnanstvo.

⁵Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

⁵Pred njih očmi si prederi steno in skozi njo jih iznosi;

⁶In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

⁶njim pred očmi jih zadeni na ramo in odnesi v temi; obraz si zagrni, da ne vidiš zemlje; zakaj v zgledno znamenje sem te postavil hiši Izraelovi.

⁷And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

⁷In storil sem, kakor mi je bilo ukazano. Reči svoje sem odnesel kakor za selitev po dnevi in zvečer sem predrl steno z roko svojo; iznosil sem jih v temi in jih na ramo zadeval pred njih očmi.

⁸And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

⁸In zjutraj mi pride beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

⁹Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

⁹Sin človečji, ni li ti rekla družina Izraelova, tista uporna družina: Kaj delaš?

¹⁰Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

¹⁰Reci jim: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: To breme [Ali: prorokovanje.] se tiče kneza v Jeruzalemu in vse hiše Izraelcev, ki so sredi njega.

¹¹Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

¹¹Reci: Jaz sem vam v zgledno znamenje. Kakor sem storil, tako se bo godilo ž njimi: pojdejo v pregnanstvo, v ujetništvo.

¹²And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

¹²In knez, ki je med njimi, ponese svoje reči na rami v črni temi in pojde strani; predrli bodo steno, da spravijo ven prtljago; on si zagrne obraz, da ne bo videl zemlje z očmi svojimi.

¹³My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

¹³In vržem mrežo nanj in ga ujamem v lovnico svojo; in storim, da pride v Babilon, v zemljo Kaldejcev, ali ne bo je videl, dasi umrje ondi.

¹⁴And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

¹⁴In vse, ki so okoli njega, njegove pomočnike in vsa krdela njegova razkropim na vse vetrove in meč potegnem za njimi.

¹⁵And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

¹⁵In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD, kadar jih razkropim med narode in raztresem po deželah.

¹⁶But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

¹⁶Ali pridržim malo mož izmed njih, ki ostanejo po meču, po lakoti in po kugi, da naj pripovedujejo vse gnusobe svoje med narodi, kamor pridejo. In vedeli bodo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

¹⁷Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹⁷In pride mi beseda GOSPODOVA in reče:

¹⁸Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;

¹⁸Sin človečji, jej kruh z drgetom in pij vodo s trepetom in strahom!

¹⁹And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

¹⁹In reci ljudstvu dežele: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova o prebivalcih v Jeruzalemu in o deželi Izraelovi: Jedli bodo kruh s strahom in vodo pili strmeč, ker opustoši se njih dežela in izprazni svoje obilosti zaradi zlobnosti vseh prebivalcev svojih.

²⁰And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

²⁰In mesta, ki v njih mnogi prebivajo, bodo razdejana, in dežela bode pustinja. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²¹And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²¹Še mi pride beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

²²Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

²²Sin človečji, kaj pomeni ta pregovor, ki ga imate v deželi Izraelovi, ko pravite: Dnevi se na dolgo vlečejo in vsaka prikazen pride v nič.

²³Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

²³Povej jim torej: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Konec storim temu pregovoru, in ne sme se več rabiti v rek v Izraelu. In povej jim tudi: Blizu so dnevi in izpolnitev vsake prikazni.

²⁴For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

²⁴Kajti ne bode več ničeve prikazni in laskavega vedeževanja v hiši Izraelovi.

²⁵For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

²⁵Zakaj jaz, GOSPOD, govorim; beseda, ki jo govorim, se mora zgoditi, ne bo se več zavlačevala. Kajti v vaših dneh, o družina uporna, izgovorim besedo in jo tudi izpolnim, govori Gospod Jehova.

²⁶Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying.

²⁶Zopet mi pride beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

²⁷Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

²⁷Sin človečji, glej, hiša Izraelova govori: Prikazen, ki jo ta vidi, velja za mnogo dni, in prorokuje za čase, ki so še daleč.Zatorej jim reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Nobena mojih besed se ne bo zavlačevala več, temuč beseda, ki jo izgovorim, se mora zgoditi, govori Gospod Jehova.

²⁸Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

²⁸Zatorej jim reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Nobena mojih besed se ne bo zavlačevala več, temuč beseda, ki jo izgovorim, se mora zgoditi, govori Gospod Jehova.
