¹And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

¹In zgodi se v sedmem letu, deseti dan petega meseca, da so prišli nekateri iz starejšin Izraelovih vpraševat GOSPODA in so sedli predme.

²Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

²In beseda GOSPODOVA pride do mene, govoreč:

³Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

³Sin človečji, ogovori starejšine Izraelove in jim reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Ste li prišli mene vpraševat? Kakor resnično živim, govori Gospod Jehova, ne bom vam odgovoril.

⁴Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

⁴Jih li hočeš soditi, sin človečji? hočeš li soditi? Oznani jim gnusobe njih očetov

⁵And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;

⁵ter jim reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: V dan, ko sem izvolil Izraela in povzdignil roko v prisego semenu hiše Jakobove in sem se jim dal spoznati v deželi Egiptovski in jim, povzdignivši roko svojo, rekel: Jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš –

⁶In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:

⁶tisti dan sem jim povzdignil roko v prisego, da jih izpeljem iz dežele Egiptovske v deželo, ki sem jo razgledal zanje, kjer teče mleko in med, ki je lepota vsem deželam.

⁷Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

⁷In sem jim rekel: Sleherni vrzi od sebe ostude, ki so mu pred očmi, in ne oskrunjajte se z grdimi maliki Egipčanov; jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš.

⁸But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

⁸Ali oni so se mi uprli in me niso hoteli poslušati; nobeden ni vrgel od sebe ostude, ki jih je imel pred očmi, in grdih malikov Egipčanov niso zapustili. Zato sem mislil izliti srd svoj nadnje, da dopolnim jezo svojo zoper nje sredi dežele Egiptovske.

⁹But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

⁹Ali ravnal sem z ozirom na ime svoje, da ne bodi onečaščeno pred očmi narodov, med katerimi so bivali, vpričo katerih sem se jim dal spoznati, da bi jih peljal iz dežele Egiptovske.

¹⁰Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

¹⁰In storil sem, da so šli iz Egipta, in sem jih pripeljal v puščavo.

¹¹And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.

¹¹In dal sem jim postave svoje in jim oznanil sodbe svoje, po katerih bo živel človek, če jih izpolnjuje.

¹²Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.

¹²Pa tudi sobote svoje sem jim dal, naj bodo znamenje med menoj in njimi, da bi spoznali, da sem jaz GOSPOD, ki jih posvečujem.

¹³But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

¹³Toda hiša Izraelova se mi je uprla v puščavi: niso živeli po postavah mojih in so zaničevali sodbe moje, po katerih bo živel človek, če jih izpolnjuje; in silno so oskrunjali sobote moje. Zato sem mislil izliti nadnje srd svoj, da jih pokončam.

¹⁴But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

¹⁴Ali ravnal sem z ozirom na ime svoje, da ne bodi onečaščeno pred očmi narodov, vpričo katerih sem jih izpeljal.

¹⁵Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

¹⁵Vendar pa sem povzdignil roko svojo njim v prisego v puščavi, da jih ne bom peljal v deželo, ki sem jo jim dal, kjer teče mleko in med, ki je lepota vsem deželam,

¹⁶Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

¹⁶ker so zavrgli sodbe moje in niso živeli po mojih postavah in oskrunili sobote moje; zakaj njih srce je šlo za njih grdimi maliki.

¹⁷Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

¹⁷Ali prizaneslo jim je oko moje, da jih nisem pogubil ter jih nisem dočista pokončal v puščavi.

¹⁸But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:

¹⁸In dejal sem njih otrokom v puščavi: Po postavah očetov svojih ne živite in po njih šegah se ne ravnajte, tudi ž njih maliki se ne oskrunjajte.

¹⁹I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;

¹⁹Jaz sem GOSPOD, Bog vaš: po mojih postavah živite in moje pravde izpolnjujte ter po njih ravnajte;

²⁰And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.

²⁰in sobote moje posvečujte, da bodo v znamenje med menoj in vami, da bi vedeli, da sem jaz GOSPOD, Bog vaš.

²¹Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

²¹Ali otroci so se mi uprli: niso živeli po postavah mojih in niso hranili pravd mojih, da bi jih izpolnjevali, po katerih bo živel človek, če jih izpolnjuje; sobote moje so oskrunjevali. Tedaj sem mislil izliti nadnje srd svoj, da dopolnim jezo svojo nad njimi v puščavi.

²²Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.

²²A zadržal sem roko svojo in ravnal sem z ozirom na ime svoje, da ne bodi oskrunjeno pred očmi narodov, vpričo katerih sem jih izpeljal.

²³I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

²³Tudi sem povzdignil roko in jim prisegel v puščavi, da jih razkropim med narode in raztresem po deželah,

²⁴Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

²⁴ker niso izvrševali sodb mojih, ampak zaničevali so postave moje in oskrunjevali sobote moje in njih oči so gledale za maliki očetov svojih.

²⁵Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

²⁵Pa tudi jaz sem jim dal postave, ki niso dobre, in sodbe, po katerih se niso mogli ohraniti v življenju.

²⁶And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.

²⁶In oskrunil sem jih ž njih darili, s tem, da so vodili skozi ogenj vse prvorojeno: da bi jih opustošil, da spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²⁷Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

²⁷Zatorej, sin človečji, govori družini Izraelovi in jim reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Še s tem so me zasramovali očetje vaši, ko so zagrešili nezvestobo zoper mene:

²⁸For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

²⁸Ko sem jih pripeljal v deželo, za katero sem povzdignil roko svojo, da jim jo dam, so gledali po vsakem visokem griču in po vsakem košatem drevesu, in ondi so darovali klalne žrtve svoje in dajali darila svoja v draženje nevolje in ondi napravljali prijeten duh in izlivali pitne daritve svoje.

²⁹Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.

²⁹In rekel sem jim: Kaj pomeni tista višava, na katero hodite? In imenuje se njeno ime „višava“ do današnjega dne.

³⁰Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?

³⁰Zato reci hiši Izraelovi: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Kako? skrunite se po navadi očetov svojih in hodite nečistovat za njih grdobami;

³¹For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

³¹in skrunite se še do tega dne ob vseh grdih malikih svojih, ko darujete darila svoja, ko vodite sinove svoje skozi ogenj! in jaz naj vam odgovorim, ko me vprašujete, družina Izraelova? Kakor res živim, govori Gospod Jehova, ne maram, da bi me vprašali!

³²And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

³²In tisto, kar preudarjate v srcu, se nikakor ne uresniči; ko govorite: Enaki hočemo biti poganskim narodom, rodovinam po deželah, da služimo lesu in kamenju.

³³As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

³³Kakor res živim, govori Gospod Jehova, gotovo bom z mogočno roko in z iztegnjeno ramo in v razlitem srdu kraljeval nad vami!

³⁴And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

³⁴In izpeljem vas izmed ljudstev in zberem vas iz dežel, po katerih ste raztreseni, z mogočno roko in z iztegnjeno ramo in v razlitem srdu.

³⁵And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

³⁵In pripeljem vas v puščavo ljudstev in tam se bom pravdal z vami od obličja do obličja;

³⁶Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

³⁶kakor sem se pravdal z očeti vašimi v puščavi dežele Egiptovske, tako se bom pravdal z vami, govori Gospod Jehova.

³⁷And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:

³⁷In velel vam bom preiti pod palico in peljal vas bom v vezi zaveze.

³⁸And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

³⁸In izločim izmed vas upornike in tiste, ki so odpadli od mene; odpeljem jih iz dežele, kjer bivajo kot tujci, ali v zemljo Izraelovo ne pridejo. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

³⁹As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

³⁹Vi torej, družina Izraelova, tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Pojdite, služite vsak malikom svojim! A pozneje – me boste resnično poslušali in imena svetosti moje ne boste več oskrunjevali z darili svojimi in z grdimi maliki svojimi.

⁴⁰For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

⁴⁰Zakaj na gori svetosti moje, na gori višine Izraelove, govori Gospod Jehova, tam mi bo vsa družina Izraelova služila, vsi čiherni v deželi; tam jih milo sprejmem in tam bom zahteval vaše dari povzdignjenja in prvine vaših daril z vsem vred, kar posvečujete.

⁴¹I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

⁴¹Kakor prijeten duh vas milo sprejmem, ko vas odpeljem izmed ljudstev in vas zberem iz dežel, po katerih ste bili razkropljeni, in se nad vami izkažem svetega pred očmi poganskih narodov.

⁴²And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.

⁴²In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD, ko vas pripeljem v zemljo Izraelovo, v tisto deželo, za katero sem povzdignil roko svojo, da jo dam očetom vašim.

⁴³And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

⁴³In ondi se spomnite vseh potov svojih in vseh dejanj svojih, s katerimi ste se oskrunjali, in sami sebi se boste studili zavoljo vseh hudobnosti, ki ste jih zakrivili.

⁴⁴And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

⁴⁴In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD, ko bom z vami ravnal z ozirom na svoje ime, ne po vaših hudobnih potih in ne po vaših izprijenih dejanjih, o družina Izraelova, govori Gospod Jehova.

⁴⁵Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁴⁵In beseda GOSPODOVA mi pride, govoreč:

⁴⁶Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

⁴⁶Sin človečji, obrni obličje proti poldnevu in kapljaj besede proti jugu in prorokuj zoper gozd poljane na Jugu,

⁴⁷And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

⁴⁷in reci gozdu na Jugu: Čuj besedo GOSPODOVO! Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Glej, jaz podnetim ogenj v tebi, ki požre vse zeleno drevje v tebi in vse suho drevje; plamteči ogenj ne bo mogel pogasniti in osmodil bo vse obraze od poldneva do polnoči.

⁴⁸And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

⁴⁸In vse meso bo videlo, da sem ga podnetil jaz GOSPOD; ne ugasne.Tedaj sem rekel: Ah Gospod Jehova! Oni govore o meni: Ali ne govori ta zgolj v prilikah?

⁴⁹Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

⁴⁹Tedaj sem rekel: Ah Gospod Jehova! Oni govore o meni: Ali ne govori ta zgolj v prilikah?
