¹In pride mi beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²Sin človečji, prorokuj zoper proroke Izraelove, ki prorokujejo, in reci njim, ki prorokujejo iz lastnega srca svojega: Čujte besedo GOSPODOVO!

²Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the word of Yahweh:

³Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Gorje brezpametnim prorokom, ki gredo za lastnim duhom svojim in za tistim, česar niso videli!

³Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

⁴Kakor lisice v razvalinah so bili tvoji proroki, o Izrael!

⁴Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

⁵Niste stopali pred razpoke zidov in niste gradili obzidja pri hiši Izraelovi, da bi trdno stala v boju na dan GOSPODOV.

⁵You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.

⁶Ničevost in lažnivo vedeževanje so videli, kateri pravijo: „GOSPOD govori!“ dasi jih ni poslal GOSPOD; in tolažijo jih z nado, da se njih beseda potrdi.

⁶They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, Yahweh says; but Yahweh has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

⁷Niste li videli ničeve prikazni in niste li govorili lažnivega vedeževanja, ko ste pravili: „GOSPOD govori!“ in vendar jaz nisem govoril?

⁷Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, Yahweh says; but I have not spoken?

⁸Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Ker ste govorili ničemurnost in videli laž, zato, glejte, sem jaz zoper vas, govori Gospod Jehova;

⁸Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁹in roka moja bode zoper proroke, ki vidijo ničemurnost in ki pripovedujejo laž. Ne bodo v svetovalstvu ljudstva mojega in v popisu družine Izraelove ne bodo zapisani, tudi v zemljo Izraelovo ne pridejo. In spoznate, da sem jaz Gospod Jehova.

⁹My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁰Zato, prav zato, ker zapeljujejo ljudstvo moje, govoreč: Mir! In ga ni miru; in če kdo gradi steno, jo mažejo z belilom –

¹⁰Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash:

¹¹reci tistim mazačem z belilom, da bo padla; ploha se ulije nanjo in toča bo padala in vihar jo razdere.

¹¹tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it.

¹²Glejte, ko pade stena, ali vam ne bodo pravili: Kje je belilo, s katerim ste jo mazali?

¹²Behold, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?

¹³Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: V togoti svoji naredim, da jo razdere hrumeč vihar, in vsled srda mojega se ulije nanjo ploha in usuje toča od jeze moje v pogubo.

¹³Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

¹⁴Tako razvalim steno, ki ste jo mazali z belilom, in porušim jo do tal, da se odkrije njena podlaga; in padla bo in vi poginete sredi nje. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

¹⁴So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁵In tako dopolnim togoto svojo nad steno in nad njimi, ko so jo mazali z belilom, in vam porečem: Stene ni več, tudi tistih ni, ki so jo mazali,

¹⁵Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;

¹⁶prorokov Izraelovih, ki prorokujejo o Jeruzalemu in vidijo zanj prikazni miru, dasi ni miru, govori Gospod Jehova.

¹⁶to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁷Ti pa, sin človečji, obrni obličje proti hčeram ljudstva svojega, ki prorokujejo iz lastnega srca svojega, in prorokuj zoper nje

¹⁷You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,

¹⁸in reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Gorje jim, ki šivajo obveze za vse členke rok in obglavne zavoje, prilične vsaki postavi, da bi lovile duše! Hočete li uloviti duše pri ljudstvu mojem, a svoje duše ohraniti v življenju?

¹⁸and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

¹⁹In mene ste onečastile med ljudstvom mojim za peščico ječmena in za nekoliko grižljajev kruha, da se v smrt pripravijo duše, ki bi ne imele umreti, in pri življenju ohranijo duše, ki bi ne imele živeti, s tem, da lažete ljudstvu mojemu, ki posluša laži.

¹⁹You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.

²⁰Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Glejte, jaz sem zoper obveze vaše, s katerimi lovite duše kakor ptice, in jih vam iztrgam iz rok, duše pa pustim v prostost, duše, ki jih lovite kakor ptice.

²⁰Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.

²¹Tudi obglavne zavoje vaše raztrgam in otmem ljudstvo svoje iz vaše roke, da vam ne bodo več za plen v pesti vaši. In zvedele boste, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²¹Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

²²Ker ste z lažmi užalostile srce pravičnega, ki mu jaz nisem žalosti prizadel, in krepčale ste roke brezbožnega, da se ne bi vrnil s hudobne poti svoje, da se ohrani v življenju:zato ne boste več videle ničemurnosti in se več ne pečale z vedeževanjem; in otmem ljudstvo svoje iz roke vaše. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²²Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

²³zato ne boste več videle ničemurnosti in se več ne pečale z vedeževanjem; in otmem ljudstvo svoje iz roke vaše. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²³Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
