¹In prišla mi je beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²Sin človečji, obrni obličje na gore Izraelove in prorokuj zoper nje

²Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,

³in reci: Gore Izraelove, poslušajte besedo Gospoda Jehove! Tako pravi Gospod Jehova goram in hribom, rupam in dolinam: Glejte, jaz pripeljem meč nad vas in pokončam višave vaše;

³and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

⁴in vaši oltarji se razrušijo in solnčni stebri vaši bodo strti. In storim, da bodo popadali prebodenci vaši pred grdimi maliki vašimi,

⁴Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

⁵in vržem trupla sinov Izraelovih pred grde njih malike in raztrosim kosti vaše okoli vaših oltarjev.

⁵I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

⁶Kjerkoli prebivate, bodo mesta razdejana in višave opustošene, da se razrušijo oltarji vaši ter opustošijo in uničijo grdi maliki vaši in da se posekajo solnčni stebri vaši in iztrebijo stvarine vaše;

⁶In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

⁷in prebodenci bodo padali sredi vas. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

⁷The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁸Vendar vam pustim ostanek, tako da boste med narodi imeli nekatere, ki ubeže meču, ko boste razkropljeni po deželah.

⁸Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.

⁹In tisti ubežniki vaši se bodo spominjali mene med narodi, kamor jih ujete odpeljejo, kadar potarem njih nečistosti vdano srce, ki je odstopilo od mene, in njih oči, ki so nečisto za njih maliki gledale; in sami sebi se bodo studili zavoljo hudobnosti, ki so jih zakrivili ob vseh gnusobah svojih.

⁹Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

¹⁰Tedaj bodo vedeli, da sem jaz GOSPOD. Nisem zaman govoril, da jim hočem storiti to zlo.

¹⁰They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.

¹¹Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Ploskni z roko in ob tla udari z nogo in reci: Gorje zaradi vseh hudih gnusob hiše Izraelove; zakaj popadati morajo po meču, lakoti in kugi.

¹¹Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

¹²Kdor je daleč, umre za kugo, in kdor je blizu, pade pod mečem, kdor pa preostane in bo obvarovan, umre lakote: tako dopolnim togoto svojo nad njimi.

¹²He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.

¹³In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD, ko bodo njih prebodenci ležali med njih maliki, okoli njih oltarjev, na vsakem hribu visokem in na vseh vrhovih gora in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom in pod vsakim košatim hrastom, na tistih krajih, kjer so vsem grdim malikom svojim prinašali prijetne dišave.In iztegnem roko zoper nje in storim njih deželo pusto in opustošeno bolj nego je puščava Diblat, kjerkoli prebivajo. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

¹³You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.

¹⁴In iztegnem roko zoper nje in storim njih deželo pusto in opustošeno bolj nego je puščava Diblat, kjerkoli prebivajo. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

¹⁴I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
