Ezekiel 14
1 Uto k meni dođoše neki od starješina Izraelovih i sjedoše preda me.
Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.
2 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
3 “Sine čovječji! Ti ljudi nose kumire u srcu i upiru oči u ono što ih na grijeh potiče. Pa zar da trpim da u mene traže savjeta?
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
4 Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Tko god iz doma Izraelova nosi u srcu kumire i upire oči u ono što ga na grijeh potiče, a dolazi k proroku, ja, Jahve, odgovorit ću mu prema mnoštvu njegovih kumira,
Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols;
5 da uhvatim za srce dom Izraelov koji se zbog idola svojih odmetnu od mene.'
That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 Zato reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Obratite se, odvratite se od kumira svojih! Odvratite lice od gnusoba svojih!
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7 Jer tko se god iz doma Izraelova i od došljaka koji se nastaniše u Izraelu odmetne od mene i u srcu nosi kumire i upire oči u ono što ga potiče na grijeh, pa unatoč tome dođe k proroku da preko njega u mene traži savjeta, njemu ću ja, Jahve, sam odgovoriti;
For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourns in Israel, which separates himself from me, and sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8 okrenut ću se protiv njega i učinit ću od njega poslovičan primjer: iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the middle of my people; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
9 Ako li se prorok dadne zavesti i progovori, bilo bi to kao da sam ja, Jahve, zaveo toga proroka: ruku ću podići na njega i iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda izraelskoga.
And if the prophet be deceived when he has spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from the middle of my people Israel.
10 Obojica će podjednako snositi grijeh svoj: grijeh prorokov jednak je grijehu onoga koji je u njega tražio savjeta.
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeks to him;
11 I tako se dom Izraelov više neće odmetati od mene i neće se više kaljati svojim opačinama: on će biti narod moj, a ja ću biti njegov Bog' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says the Lord GOD.
12 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
13 “Sine čovječji, zgriješi li koja zemlja protiv mene nevjerom i ja podignem ruku na nju te joj uništim i posljednju pričuvu kruha i pustim na nju glad da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku;
Son of man, when the land sins against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out my hand on it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine on it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14 preostanu li u njoj samo tri čovjeka - Noa, Daniel i Job - ti će se svojom pravednošću spasiti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord GOD.
15 Također, ako na tu zemlju pustim divlje zvijeri da joj djecu unište a nju pretvore u pustinju, kojom se zbog zvijeri više nitko neće usuditi proći;
If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16 preostanu li u njoj samo ta tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe, a zemlja će njihova postati prava pustinja.
Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17 Ili, ako ja trgnem mač na tu zemlju govoreći: 'Maču, prođi ovom zemljom!' da istrijebim u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18 a u njoj se nađu samo ona tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe.
Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19 Ili, ako ja pošaljem na tu zemlju kugu te izlijem na nju gnjev i pokolj da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury on it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
20 a u njoj preostanu samo ona tri čovjeka, Noa, Daniel i Job, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe svojom pravednošću.”
Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
21 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ipak, ako na Jeruzalem pustim sva svoja četiri ljuta biča - mač, glad, divlju zvjerad i kugu - da zatrem u njemu sve ljude i stoku,
For thus says the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 u njemu će ipak preživjeti Ostatak koji će spasiti sinove i kćeri. I evo, oni će doći k vama da vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela i da se utješite, jer ćete upoznati: što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema, ne učinih bez razloga.
Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth to you, and you shall see their way and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.
23 Da, kad vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela, utješit ćete se, jer ćete upoznati da ne učinih bez razloga što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
And they shall comfort you, when you see their ways and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the Lord GOD.
