Ezekiel 28

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 “Sine čovječji, kaži knezu tirskome: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Tvoje se srce uzoholi, ti reče: 'Ja sam bog! Na božjem prijestolju sjedim u srcu morskom.' Iako čovjek, a ne Bog, ti srce svoje izjednači s Božjim.

“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Your heart is arrogant! You have said, “I am a god! I will sit in the seat of the gods in the heart of the seas!” Even though you are a man and not a god, you make your heart like the heart of a god;

3 Bješe, eto, od Daniela mudriji, nijedna ti tajna ne bje skrivena!

you think that you are wiser than Daniel, and that no secret amazes you!

4 Mudrošću svojom i razborom nateče bogatstva, riznicu napuni srebrom i zlatom!

You have made yourself wealthy with wisdom and skill, and obtained gold and silver in your treasuries!

5 Mudar li bijaše trgovac, bogatstvo svoje namnoži! Al' ti se s bogatstva srce uzoholi.'

By great wisdom and by your trading, you have multiplied your wealth, so your heart is arrogant because of your wealth.

6 Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer svoje srce s Božjim izjednači,

Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have made your heart like the heart of a god,

7 dovest ću, evo, na te tuđince najnasilnije među narodima. Isukat će mačeve na mudrost ti divnu, i ljepotu će ti okaljati,

I will therefore bring foreigners against you, terrifying men from other nations. They will bring their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they will profane your splendor.

8 bacit će te u jamu da umreš nasilnijom smrću od onih što umiru na pučini morskoj!

They will send you down to the pit, and you will die the death of those who die in the heart of the seas.

9 Hoćeš li tada pred krvnikom reći: 'Ja sam bog'? Čovjek si, a ne bog, u ruci svojih ubojica.

Will you truly say, “I am a god” to the face of one who kills you? You are a man and not God, and you will be in the hand of the one who pierces you.

10 Umrijet ćeš smrću neobrezanih od ruke tuđinske! Jer ja, Jahve, rekoh to' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”

You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners, for I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

11 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

12 “Sine čovječji, zakukaj tužaljku nad tirskim kraljem. Reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Gle, ti bješe uzor savršenstva, pun mudrosti i čudesno lijep!

“Son of man, lift up a lament for the king of Tyre and say to him, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 U Edenu, vrtu Božjem, ti življaše, resio te dragulj svaki, sard, topaz i dijamant, krizolit, oniks i jaspis, safir, smaragd i zlato. Načinjeni bjehu bubnjevi i frule, na dan ti rođenja bjehu pripravljeni.

You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone covered you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made from gold. It was on the day you were created that they were prepared.

14 Postavih te kao raskriljena keruba zaštitnika: bio si na svetoj gori Božjoj, hodio si posred ognjena kamenja.

I placed you on the holy mountain of God as the cherub I anointed to guard mankind. You were in the midst of the fiery stones where you walked about.

15 Savršen bješe na putima svojim od dana svojega rođenja dok ti se u srcu ne zače opačina.

You had integrity in your ways from the day you were created until injustice was found within you.

16 Obilno trgujući, napuni se nasiljem i sagriješi. Zato te zbacih s gore Božje, istrgoh te, kerube zaštitniče, isred ognjenoga kamenja.

Through your great trade you were filled with violence, and so you sinned. So I threw you out of the mountain of God, as a one who was defiled, and I destroyed you, guardian cherub, and drove you from among the fiery stones.

17 Srce ti se uzoholi zbog ljepote tvoje, mudrost svoju odnemari zbog svojega blaga! Na zemlju te bacih i predah te zemaljskim kraljevima da te prezirno gledaju.

Your heart was arrogant with your beauty; you ruined your wisdom because of your splendor. I have sent you down to the earth. I have placed you before kings so they may see you.

18 Mnoštvom svog bezakonja, nepoštenim trgovanjem oskvrnu svoja svetišta! Pustih oganj posred tebe da te proždre. Pretvorih te na zemlji u pepeo na oči onih što te motre.

Because of your many sins and your dishonest trade, you have defiled your holy places. So I have made fire come out from you; it will consume you. I will turn you into ashes on the earth in the sight of all who look at you.

19 Svi koji te poznaju među narodima zgroziše se nad tobom! Jer ti strašilo posta, nestade zauvijek.'”

All the ones who knew you among the peoples will shudder at you; they will be horrified, and you will be no more forever.'”

20 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

21 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice k Sidonu, prorokuj protiv njega.

“Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.

22 Reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo me protiv tebe, Sidone, proslavit ću se usred tebe! I znat će se da sam ja Jahve kada nad njim sud izvršim i svetost svoju pokažem u njemu.

Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Sidon! For I will be glorified in your midst so your people will know that I am Yahweh when I execute justice within you. I will be shown to be holy in you.

23 I poslat ću na nj kugu i krv po ulicama njegovim; i mrtvi će posred njega padati od mača, koji ti odasvud prijeti, i znat će se tada da sam ja Jahve.

I will send out a plague in you and blood in your streets, and the slain will fall in your midst. When the sword comes against you from all around, then you will know that I am Yahweh.

24 I više neće biti domu Izraelovu trna što ranjava nit' žaoke što razdire među svima uokolo koji ga preziru! I znat će se da sam ja Jahve!'”

Then there will no longer be pricking briars and painful thorns for the house of Israel from all those around her who despise her people, so they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!'

25 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “A kad skupim sav dom Izraelov između naroda po kojima su razasuti, očitovat ću u njima svoju svetost pred očima narodÄa. I nastanit će se u svojoj zemlji što je dadoh sluzi svome Jakovu.

The Lord Yahweh says this, 'When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they were scattered, and when I am set apart among them, so the nations may see, then they will make their homes in the land I will give to my servant Jacob.

26 I u njoj će živjeti u miru, gradit će domove i saditi vinograde. Živjet će u pouzdanju dok budem izvršivao svoj sud nad svima koji ih naokolo prezirahu. I znat će da sam ja Jahve, Bog njihov.”

Then they will live securely within her and build houses, plant vineyards, and live securely when I execute justice on all the ones who now despise them from all around; so they will know that I am Yahweh their God!'”
