¹Še mi je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

¹Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²In ti, sin človečji, tako pravi Gospod Jehova zemlji Izraelovi: Konec! konec prihaja nad štiri kraje dežele!

²You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end has come on the four corners of the land.

³Zdaj prihaja konec tebi, ker pošljem jezo svojo nadte in te bom sodil, kakor zaslužiš, in spravim vse gnusobe tvoje nadte.

³Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

⁴In oko moje ti ne prizanese in ne usmilim se, temuč ti dam, kakor si zaslužila, in gnusobe tvoje spravim nadte. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

⁴My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁵Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Nesreča, edina nesreča, glej, prihaja!

⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.

⁶Konec gre, konec prihaja, zbudil se je zoper tebe; glej, prihaja!

⁶An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.

⁷Usoda tvoja prihaja nadte, o prebivalec dežele! Čas je prišel, dan je blizu, dan hrupne zmešnjave, a ne radostnega vriskanja na gorah!

⁷Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.

⁸Zdaj, zdaj izlijem togoto svojo nadte in dopolnim jezo svojo zoper tebe, in sodil te bom, kakor si zaslužil, in spravim nadte vse gnusobe tvoje.

⁸Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

⁹In oko moje ne bo prizanašalo in ne usmilim se: kakor so bile tvoje poti, tako ti poplačam, in gnusobe tvoje pripravim nadte. In spoznate, da sem jaz GOSPOD, ki tepem.

⁹My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.

¹⁰Glej, tisti dan, glej, prihaja! Usoda tvoja je nastopila, šiba cvete, prevzetnost zeleni;

¹⁰Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

¹¹silovitost se vzdiguje do šibe brezbožnosti. Ničesar od njih ne ostane, ničesar od njih množice, ničesar od njih bogastva, in nič krasnega ne bo na njih.

¹¹Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.

¹²Čas je prišel, dan se bliža! Kupec se ne veséli in prodajalec ne žaluj: zakaj srd leti nad vso njih množico.

¹²The time has come, the day draws near: don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.

¹³Kajti prodajalec ne dobi nazaj, kar je prodano, tudi ako bi še živeli; zakaj prikazen se tiče vse njih množice, nihče se ne povrne, tudi nihče ne utrdi življenja svojega po krivičnosti svoji.

¹³For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

¹⁴Trobijo s trombo in vse pripravljajo, a nihče ne gre v boj; kajti srd moj leti nad vso njih množico.

¹⁴They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.

¹⁵Meč je zunaj, kuga pa in lakota notri: kdor je na polju umre od meča, in kateri so v mestu, jih požreta lakota in kuga.

¹⁵The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

¹⁶In ubežniki, če se izmed njih rešijo, bodo na gorah enaki golobom v dolinah, vsi žalostno gruleč, vsak zaradi krivice svoje.

¹⁶But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

¹⁷Vsem obnemorejo roke in vsa kolena se razlijejo kakor voda.

¹⁷All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

¹⁸In opasovali se bodo z raševnikom, in groza jih obide in rdečica oblije vse obraze in glave jim oplešijo.

¹⁸They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

¹⁹Srebro svoje pomečejo na ulice in njih zlato se bo štelo za nesnago. Njih srebro in zlato jih ne bo moglo oteti v dan jeze GOSPODOVE; gladu si ne utešé ž njim in života si ne napolnijo: kajti bilo jim je v spotiko, da pomnože krivdo svojo.

¹⁹They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

²⁰Svoje dragotine so obračali v napuh in grde podobe in ostude svoje so delali iz njih: zato sem jim jih storil v nesnago.

²⁰As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it to them as an unclean thing.

²¹In dam jih v roko tujcem za plen in brezbožnim v deželi za rop, in jih ognusijo.

²¹I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.

²²Odvrnem tudi obličje svoje od njih, in oskrunijo skriti zaklad moj; in razbojniki vdero vanj in ga oskrunijo.

²²My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

²³Naredi verigo! Kajti dežela je polna krvavih zločinov in mesto je polno silovitosti.

²³Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

²⁴Zato pripeljem najhujše izmed narodov, da posedejo njih hiše; naredim tudi konec prevzetnosti mogočnikov, in njih svetišča bodo oskrunjena.

²⁴Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

²⁵Poguba prihaja, in iskali bodo miru, a ga ne bode.

²⁵Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

²⁶Nesreča za nesrečo pride in žalostna novica za novico; in povpraševali bodo o prikazni pri prorokih, ali postava izgine duhovniku in svet starejšinam.Kralj bo žaloval in knez se bo oblačil v grozo, in roke ljudstva v deželi se bodo tresle. Storil jim bom, kakor so živeli, in jih sodil, kakor so zaslužili. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²⁶Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

²⁷Kralj bo žaloval in knez se bo oblačil v grozo, in roke ljudstva v deželi se bodo tresle. Storil jim bom, kakor so živeli, in jih sodil, kakor so zaslužili. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²⁷The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
