< Jezekiel 28 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 And thou, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord; Because thine heart has been exalted, and thou hast said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet thou art man and not God, though thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God:
“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.
3 art thou wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed thee with their knowledge?
Bješe, eto, od Daniela mudriji, nijedna ti tajna ne bje skrivena!
4 Hast thou gained power for thyself by thine [own] knowledge or thine [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in thy treasures?
Mudrošću svojom i razborom nateče bogatstva, riznicu napuni srebrom i zlatom!
5 By thy abundant knowledge and thy traffic thou hast multiplied thy power; thy heart has been lifted up by thy power.
Mudar li bijaše trgovac, bogatstvo svoje namnoži! Al' ti se s bogatstva srce uzoholi.'
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since thou hast set thine heart as the hart of God;
Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer svoje srce s Božjim izjednači,
7 because of this, behold, I [will] bring on thee strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against thee, and against the beauty of thy knowledge,
dovest ću, evo, na te tuđince najnasilnije među narodima. Isukat će mačeve na mudrost ti divnu, i ljepotu će ti okaljati,
8 and they shall bring down thy beauty to destruction. And they shall bring thee down; and thou shalt die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.
bacit će te u jamu da umreš nasilnijom smrću od onih što umiru na pučini morskoj!
9 Wilt thou indeed say, I am God, before them that slay thee? whereas thou art man, and not God.
Hoćeš li tada pred krvnikom reći: 'Ja sam bog'? Čovjek si, a ne bog, u ruci svojih ubojica.
10 Thou shalt perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.
Umrijet ćeš smrću neobrezanih od ruke tuđinske! Jer ja, Jahve, rekoh to' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou art a seal of resemblance, and crown of beauty.
“Sine čovječji, zakukaj tužaljku nad tirskim kraljem. Reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Gle, ti bješe uzor savršenstva, pun mudrosti i čudesno lijep!
13 Thou wast in the delight of the paradise of God; thou hast bound upon thee every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and thou hast filled thy treasures and thy stores in thee with gold.
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.
14 From the day that thou wast created thou [wast] with the cherub: I set thee on the holy mount of God; thou wast in the midst of the stones of fire.
Postavih te kao raskriljena keruba zaštitnika: bio si na svetoj gori Božjoj, hodio si posred ognjena kamenja.
15 Thou wast faultless in thy days, from the day that thou wast created, until iniquity was found in thee.
Savršen bješe na putima svojim od dana svojega rođenja dok ti se u srcu ne zače opačina.
16 Of the abundance of thy merchandise thou hast filled thy storehouses with iniquity, and hast sinned: therefore thou hast been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought thee out of the midst of the stones of fire.
Obilno trgujući, napuni se nasiljem i sagriješi. Zato te zbacih s gore Božje, istrgoh te, kerube zaštitniče, isred ognjenoga kamenja.
17 Thy heart has been lifted up because of thy beauty; thy knowledge has been corrupted with thy beauty: because of the multitude of thy sins I have cast thee to the ground, I have caused thee to be put to open shame before kings.
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.
18 Because of the multitude of thy sins and the iniquities of thy merchandise, I have profaned thy sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of thee, this shall devour thee; and I will make thee [to be] ashes upon thy land before all that see thee.
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.
19 And all that know thee among the nations shall groan over thee: thou art gone to destruction, and thou shalt not exist any more.
Svi koji te poznaju među narodima zgroziše se nad tobom! Jer ti strašilo posta, nestade zauvijek.'”
20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
21 Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
“Sine čovječji, okreni lice k Sidonu, prorokuj protiv njega.
22 and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in thee, and I will be sanctified in thee.
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.
23 Blood and death [shall be] in thy streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in thee and on every side of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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.
24 And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonoured them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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!'”
25 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
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.
26 Yea, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonoured them, [even] on those [that are] round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
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.”
