Kniha proroka Ezechiela

1 (KJV) And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
1 (KAT) Pán prehovoril ku mne takto:

2 (KJV) Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
2 (KAT) „Syn človeka, akú prednosť má drevo viniča medzi všetkými stromami, vetvička, ktorá je medzi stromami lesa?

3 (KJV) Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
3 (KAT) Či vezmú z neho drevo, aby ho spracovali na náradie? Či vezmú z neho klin, aby naň navešali rozličné nádoby?

4 (KJV) Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
4 (KAT) Veru ho dajú ohňu za pokrm; jeho dva konce strávil oheň a prostriedok mu je popálený; či je súci na zužitkovanie?

5 (KJV) Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
5 (KAT) Veď ho nezužitkovali, ani keď bolo neporušené, o koľko menej ho môžu zužitkovať, keď ho strávil oheň a je popálené?

6 (KJV) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
6 (KAT) Nuž toto hovorí Pán zástupov: Čo som medzi stromami lesa urobil drevu viniča, že som ho dal ohňu za pokrm, to som urobil obyvateľom Jeruzalema.

7 (KJV) And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
7 (KAT) Namieril som proti nim svoju tvár; z ohňa vyšli a oheň ich strávil. I budete vedieť, že ja som Pán, až obrátim proti nim svoju tvár.

8 (KJV) And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
8 (KAT) A z krajiny urobím púšť, pretože sa spreneverili,“ hovorí Pán, Jahve.
