¹Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

¹Ti pa, sin človečji, prorokuj o gorah Izraelovih in reci: Gore Izraelove, čujte besedo GOSPODOVO!

²Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

²Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Ker govori sovražnik o vas: Aha! In: Te večne višave nam so dane v posest!

³Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

³zato prorokuj in reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Zato, prav zato, ker so vas pustošili in požirali od vseh strani, da postanete posest ostanku poganskih narodov, in ste prišle v govorico jezikom in v slab glas pri ljudeh:

⁴Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

⁴zato, o gore Izraelove, čujte besedo Gospoda Jehove: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova goram in hribom, globinam in dolinam, pustim razvalinam in mestom zapuščenim, ki so postala plen in zasmeh ostanku poganskih narodov, ki so okoli:

⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

⁵zatorej pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Resnično, v ognju gorečnosti svoje sem govoril zoper ostanek tistih narodov in zoper ves Edom, ki so določili deželo mojo sebi v posest z vso radostjo svojega srca in z vsem zaničevanjem duše, da bi jo izpraznili in oplenili.

⁶Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

⁶Zato prorokuj o zemlji Izraelovi in reci goram in hribom, globinam in dolinam: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Glejte, v gorečnosti svoji in v jezi svoji sem govoril, ker ste trpeli zasrambo poganov.

⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

⁷Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Jaz sem povzdignil roko svojo, rekoč: Gotovo morajo pogani, ki so okoli vas, trpeti zasrambo svojo!

⁸But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

⁸Ali ve, gore Izraelove, poganjajte svoje mladike in rodite svoj sad ljudstvu mojemu, Izraelu, kajti blizu so, da pridejo.

⁹For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

⁹Zakaj, glejte, jaz sem za vas in se obrnem k vam, da vas bodo obdelovali in obsevali.

¹⁰And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

¹⁰In pomnožim na vas ljudi, vso družino Izraelovo, vso vkup; in v mestih se bo prebivalo in razvaline se bodo nanovo sezidale.

¹¹And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

¹¹In pomnožim na vas ljudi in živino, in bodo se množili ter bodo rodovitni, in storim, da boste naseljene kakor v prejšnjih vaših časih, in obsujem vas z dobrotami bolj nego v vašem začetku. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

¹²Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.

¹²In storim, da bodo ljudje, ljudstvo moje Izraelovo, po vas hodili in vas imeli v lasti, in bodete jim v dediščino ter jih nikdar več ne napravite brez zaroda.

¹³Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:

¹³Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Zato ker vam pravijo: Ti, dežela, žreš ljudi in pripravljaš narod svoj ob otroke –

¹⁴Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁴zato ne boš več žrla ljudi, tudi ne pripravljala ob otroke naroda svojega, govori Gospod Jehova.

¹⁵Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁵Tudi ti ne dam več slišati zasrambe poganov in roganja ljudstev ne boš več trpela in naroda svojega ne boš več spravljala v spotiko.

¹⁶Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁶Še mi je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

¹⁷Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

¹⁷Sin človečji, ko je prebivala družina Izraelova v svoji deželi, so jo ognušali s svojimi dejanjem in ravnanjem; njih dejanje je bilo pred menoj kakor nečistost žene v nje bolezni.

¹⁸Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

¹⁸Zato sem izlil jezo svojo nadnje zavoljo krvi, ki so jo prelili v deželi, in ker so jo ognusili z grdimi maliki svojimi.

¹⁹And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

¹⁹In razkropil sem jih med narode in bili so raztreseni po deželah: po njih dejanju in ravnanju sem jih sodil.

²⁰And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

²⁰In ko so prišli k narodom, kamorkoli so dospeli, so oskrunili ime svetosti moje, ker se je pravilo o njih: Ljudstvo GOSPODOVO je in iz dežele njegove so prišli.

²¹But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

²¹A meni se smili imena svetosti moje, ki ga je oskrunila družina Izraelova, kamorkoli so prišli.

²²Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

²²Zato govóri družini Izraelovi: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Ne storim tega zaradi vas, o družina Izraelova, marveč zaradi imena svetosti svoje, ki ste ga oskrunili med narodi, kamorkoli ste prišli.

²³And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

²³Posvetim zopet svoje veliko ime, ki je bilo oskrunjeno med narodi, ki ste ga vi oskrunili sredi njih. In spoznajo narodi, da sem jaz GOSPOD, govori Gospod Jehova, ko se izkažem svetega na vas pred njih očmi.

²⁴For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

²⁴Vzamem vas namreč izmed narodov in vas zberem iz vseh dežel in pripeljem v deželo vašo.

²⁵Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

²⁵In pokropim vas s čisto vodo, da bodete čisti: vseh nečistot vaših in vseh grdih malikov vaših vas očistim.

²⁶A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

²⁶In dam vam novo srce in novega duha denem v vas, in vzamem kameneno srce iz telesa vašega in dam vam meseno srce.

²⁷And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

²⁷In vdahnem v vas duha svojega in storim, da boste živeli po mojih postavah ter hranili in izpolnjevali sodbe moje.

²⁸And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²⁸In prebivali boste v deželi, ki sem jo dal očetom vašim, in bodete mi ljudstvo in jaz vam bodem Bog.

²⁹I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

²⁹In oprostim vas vseh nečistosti vaših; in pokličem žita, ter ga razmnožim, in lakote vam več ne naložim.

³⁰And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

³⁰Tudi pomnožim sad dreves in pridelke polja, da bi vas ne zadel več posmeh med narodi zavoljo lakote.

³¹Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

³¹Tedaj se spomnite hudobnih potov in dejanj svojih, ki niso bila dobra, in sami sebi se boste studili zavoljo krivic in gnusob svojih.

³²Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

³²Ne zaradi vas storim to, pravi Gospod Jehova, pomnite to! sramujte se in rdečica naj vas oblije zavoljo dejanj vaših, o družina Izraelova!

³³Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

³³Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Tisti dan, ko vas očistim vseh krivic vaših, storim, da se bo prebivalo v mestih vaših in se bodo nanovo sezidale razvaline.

³⁴And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

³⁴In dežela, ki je bila opustošena, se bo obdelovala; ne bo več puščava pred očmi slehernega, ki gre mimo.

³⁵And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

³⁵In bodo pravili: Ta dežela, ki je bila opustošena, je postala kakor vrt v Edenu, in opustošena in zapuščena in porušena mesta so utrjena ter prebivajo v njih.

³⁶Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

³⁶Tedaj spoznajo narodi, ki preostanejo okoli vas, da jaz, GOSPOD, gradim, kar je porušeno, in obsajam, kar je opustošeno. Jaz, GOSPOD, sem govoril, jaz tudi storim to.

³⁷Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

³⁷Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Tudi še v tem se dam izprositi družini Izraelovi, da jim to izpolnim: Pomnožil jih bom z ljudmi kakor čredo.Kakor sveta čreda, kakor čreda Jeruzalema ob njegovih praznikih, tako bodo mesta, prej opustošena, polna čred ljudi. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

³⁸As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

³⁸Kakor sveta čreda, kakor čreda Jeruzalema ob njegovih praznikih, tako bodo mesta, prej opustošena, polna čred ljudi. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.
