¹Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh’s house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

¹A Duch ma vyzdvihol a zaviedol ma k východnej bráne domu Hospodinovho, ktorá je obrátená na východ, a hľa, pri vchode do brány bolo dvadsaťpäť mužov, medzi ktorými som videl Jazaniáša, syna Azzúrovho, a Pelatiáša, syna Benaiášovho, kniežatá ľudu.

²He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;

²A riekol mi: Synu človeka, toto sú tí mužovia, ktorí vymýšľajú neprávosť a ktorí dávajú zlú radu v tomto meste,

³who say, The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.

³ktorí hovoria: Nestaväť v blízkom čase domy; ono je hrncom, a my sme mäsom.

⁴Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.

⁴Preto prorokuj proti nim, prorokuj, synu človeka!

⁵The Spirit of Yahweh fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says Yahweh: Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

⁵A pripadol na mňa Duch Hospodinov a riekol mi: Povedz: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Tak hovoríte, dome Izraelov, a vašu myseľ, to, čo vystupuje vo vašom duchu, ja znám.

⁶You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.

⁶Namnožili ste svojich pobitých v tomto meste a naplnili ste jeho ulice skolenými.

⁷Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but you shall be brought out of its midst.

⁷Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Vaši pobití, ktorých ste pobili a nahromadili v jeho strede, tí sú tým mäsom, a ono hrncom, ale vás vyvedú z neho.

⁸You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁸Bojíte sa meča, a meč uvediem na vás, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

⁹I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

⁹A vyvediem vás zprostred neho a dám vás do ruky cudzozemcov a vykonám na vás súdy.

¹⁰You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁰Od meča padnete; na pomedzí Izraelovom vás budem súdiť, a zviete, že ja som Hospodin.

¹¹This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;

¹¹Ono vám nebude hrncom, aby ste vy boli prostred neho mäsom; na pomedzí Izraelovom vás budem súdiť.

¹²and you shall know that I am Yahweh: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.

¹²A zviete, že ja som Hospodin, v ktorého ustanoveniach ste nechodili ani ste nečinili mojich súdov, ale ste robili podľa súdov pohanov, ktorí sú vôkol vás.

¹³It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

¹³A stalo sa, keď som prorokoval, že Pelatiáš, syn Benaiášov, zomrel. Vtedy som padol na svoju tvár a skríkol som veľkým hlasom a povedal som: Ach, Pane, Hospodine, činíš koniec ostatku Izraelovmu!

¹⁴The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁴A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹⁵Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Go far away from Yahweh. This land has been given to us for a possession.

¹⁵Synu človeka, tvoji bratia, tvoji bratia, mužovia tvojho výkupného príbuzenstva sú to, a celý dom Izraelov, všetci, ktorým vraveli obyvatelia Jeruzalema: Vzdiaľte sa od Hospodina! Nám je daná táto zem do dedičstva.

¹⁶Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.

¹⁶Preto povedz: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Keď som ich aj zahnal ďaleko medzi národy a keď som ich aj rozptýlil do rôznych zemí, ale im budem svätyňou za krátky čas v zemiach, do ktorých prišli.

¹⁷Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

¹⁷Preto povedz: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: A shromaždím vás z národov a soberiem vás zo zemí, do ktorých ste rozptýlení, a dám vám zem Izraelovu.

¹⁸They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.

¹⁸A vojdú ta a odpracú z nej všetky jej mrzkosti a všetky jej ohavnosti.

¹⁹I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

¹⁹A dám im jedno srdce a nového ducha dám do vášho vnútra, odstránim kamenné srdce z ich tela a dám im srdce z mäsa,

²⁰that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

²⁰aby chodili v mojich ustanoveniach a ostríhali moje súdy a činili ich. A tak mi budú ľudom, a ja im budem Bohom.

²¹But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads, says the Lord Yahweh.

²¹Ale čo do tých, ktorých srdce chodí za ich mrzkosťami a za ich ohavnosťami, tých cestu dám na ich hlavu, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

²²Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

²²A cherubi zdvihli svoje krýdla, a kolesá vzniesly sa popri nich a sláva Boha Izraelovho nad nimi shora.

²³The glory of Yahweh went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

²³A sláva Hospodinova vystúpila hore zponad prostredku mesta a zastála na vrchu, ktorý je od východu mesta.

²⁴The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

²⁴Potom ma vyzdvihol Duch a doviedol ma zase do Chaldejska k zajatým vo videní, v Duchu Božom. A tak odišlo hore odo mňa videnie, ktoré som videl.

²⁵Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that Yahweh had shown me.

²⁵A hovoril som zajatým všetky slová a veci Hospodinove, ktoré mi ukázal.
