Ezechiel 39

Studie

   

1 Ty synu člověčí, prorokuj ještě proti Gogovi a rci: Takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Aj, já povstanu proti tobě, ó Gogu, kníže a hlavo v Mešech a Tubal.

2 A odvedu tě zpět, navštívě tě šesti ranami, když tě vzbudím, abys přitáhl od stran půlnočních, a přivedu tě na hory Izraelské.

3 Nebo vyrazím lučiště tvé z ruky tvé levé, a střely z ruky tvé pravé vyvrhu.

4 Na horách Izraelských padneš ty i všickni houfové tvoji i národové, kteříž budou s tebou; ptákům a všemu ptactvu křídla majícímu i zvěři polní dám tě k sežrání.

5 Na svrchku pole padneš; neboť jsem já mluvil, praví Panovník Hospodin.

6 Vypustím také oheň na Magoga i na ty, kteříž přebývají na ostrovích bezpečně, i zvědíť, že já jsem Hospodin.

7 A jméno svatosti své uvedu v známost u prostřed lidu svého Izraelského. Nedopustím, pravím, více poškvrňovati jména svatosti své, i zvědíť národové, že já jsem Hospodin Svatý v Izraeli.

8 Aj, přijdeť a stane se to, praví Panovník Hospodin, téhož dne, o kterémž jsem mluvil.

9 Tehdy vyjdou obyvatelé měst Izraelských, a zapálíce, popálí zbroj a štíty i pavézy, lučiště i střely, dřevce i kopí, a budou je páliti ohněm sedm let.

10 Aniž nositi budou dříví s pole, ani sekati v lesích, proto že zbrojí zaněcovati budou oheň, když zloupí ty, kteříž je loupívali, a mocí poberou těm, kteříž jim mocí brávali, praví Panovník Hospodin.

11 I stane se v ten den, že dám Gogovi místo ku pohřbu tam v Izraeli, údolí, kudyž se jde k východní straně k moři, kteréžto zacpá ústa tudy jdoucích. I pohřbí tam Goga i všecko množství jeho, a nazovou je údolí množství Gogova.

12 Nebo pochovávati je budou dům Izraelský za sem měsíců proto, aby vyčistili zemi.

13 A tak pohřbí je všecken lid té země, a bude jim to ku poctivosti v den, v kterýž oslaven budu, praví Panovník Hospodin.

14 Oddělíť pak muže statečné, kteříž by procházeli tu zemi, proto aby pochovávali ty, kteříž by pozůstali na svrchku země, aby ji vyčistili. Po vyjití sedmi měsíců přehledávati začnou.

15 A ti procházejíce, choditi budou po zemi, a když uzří kosti člověčí, vzdělají při nich znamení pamětné, aby je pohřbili hrobaři v údolí množství Gogova.

16 Nýbrž to množství jeho bude k slávě i městu, když vyčistí tu zemi.

17 Ty pak synu člověčí, takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Rci ke všelijakým ptákům křídla majícím i ke všelijaké zvěři polní: Shromažďte se a přiďte, zbeřte se odevšad k obětem mým, kterýchž já nabiji vám,obětí velikých na horách Izraelských, a budete jísti maso a píti krev.

18 Maso silných reků jísti budete, a krev knížat zemských píti, skopců, beranů a kozlů, volků, všecko tučných Bázanských.

19 A budete jísti tuk do sytosti, a píti krev do opití z obětí mých, kterýchž vám nabiji.

20 A nasytíte se z stolu mého koňmi i jezdci, silnými reky i všemi muži válečnými, dí Panovník Hospodin.

21 A tak zjevím slávu svou mezi národy, aby viděli všickni národové soud můj, kterýž jsem vykonal, i ruku mou, kterouž jsem doložil na ně.

22 I zvíť dům Izraelský, že já jsem Hospodin Bůh jejich, od tohoto dne i potom.

23 Zvědí také i národové, že pro svou nepravost zajat jest dům Izraelský, proto že se dopouštěli přestoupení proti mně; pročež jsem skryl tvář svou před nimi, a vydal jsem je v ruku protivníků jejich, aby padli mečem všickni napořád.

24 Podlé nečistoty jejich a podlé zpronevěření se jejich učinil jsem jim, a skryl jsem tvář svou před nimi.

25 Z té příčiny takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Jižť zase přivedu zajaté Jákobovy, a smiluji se nade vším domem Izraelským a horliti budu příčinou jména svatosti své,

26 Ač ponesou potupu svou a všecko přestoupení své, kteréhož se dopustili proti mně, když bydlili v zemi své bezpečně, aniž byl, kdo by je přestrašil.

27 A však je zase přivedu z národů, a shromáždím je z zemí nepřátel jejich, a posvěcen budu v nich před očima národů mnohých.

28 A tak poznají, že já jsem Hospodin Bůh jejich, když zaveda je do národů, shromáždím je do země jejich, a nepozůstavím tam žádného z nich.

29 Aniž skryji více tváři své před nimi, když vyleji Ducha svého na dům Izraelský, praví Panovník Hospodin.

7-8 This will take place when the Lord comes and establishes the church. (3, 1)

9-10 This church will then disperse all the evils and falsities of such, (3)

11-16 and will wholly destroy them. (3, 16)

17-22 The new church that will be established by the Lord will be imbued with goods of all kinds, (11)

Ezekiel 40

Studie

   

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there.

2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

4 The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.

5 Behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

6 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.

7 Every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

10 The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

11 He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door against door.

14 He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the court [reached] to the posts, around the gate.

15 [From] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

16 There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches; and windows were around inward; and on [each] post were palm trees.

17 Then brought he me into the outer court; and behold, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms were on the pavement.

18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

20 The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

22 The windows of it, and its arches, and the palm trees of it, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.

23 There was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.

24 He led me toward the south; and behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.

25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.

27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

29 and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

31 The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

32 He brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;

33 and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

34 The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

35 He brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;

36 its lodges, its posts, and its arches: and there were windows therein all around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

37 The posts of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.

39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

40 On the [one] side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

41 Four tables were on this side, and Four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they killed [the sacrifices].

42 There were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

43 The hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

45 He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;

46 and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.

47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
