Jezekiel 30

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!

“Sine čovječji, prorokuj i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Kukajte: 'Jao dana!'

3 For the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.

Jer se bliži dan, bliži se dan Jahvin! Dan oblačan, vrijeme narodima određeno.

4 And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.

I mač će ući u Egipat, a strah će ophrvati Etiopiju kad mrtvi stanu padati po Egiptu i kad se razgrabi njegovo blago te kad mu temelje sve sruše.

5 Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.

Kuš, Put i Lud, sva Arabija i Libija, i sinovi zemlje Krete s njima od mača će izginuti'!

6 And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, says the Lord.

Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Past će koji podupiru Egipat i srozat će se ponos njegove moći. Od Migdola do Sevana sve će u njemu od mača pasti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

7 And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:

On će biti pustoš među opustošenim zemljama, a njegovi gradovi ruševine među razrušenim gradovima.

8 and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.

I znat će da sam ja Jahve kad zapalim svoj oganj u Egiptu i zatrem sve pomagače njegove.

9 In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult amongst them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.

U onaj će dan glasnici od mene na lađama isploviti da zastraše bezbrižnu Etiopiju. I strah će je ophrvati u dan egipatski. Jer, evo, bliži se!'

10 Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,

Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Uništit ću mnoštvo egipatsko rukom Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga!

11 his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.

On i njegov narod s njime - najokrutniji među narodima - bit će dovedeni da zemlju zatru. I oni će isukati mač na Egipat i svu će mu zemlju truplima ispuniti.

12 And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.

A ja ću isušiti rijeke i zemlju predati u ruke silnicima, opustošit ću zemlju i što je u njoj - rukom tuđinaca. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!'

13 For thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.

Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Razorit ću kumire i ništavila istrijebiti iz Memfisa, i neće više biti knezova u egipatskoj zemlji, a strah ću posijati u zemlji egipatskoj.

14 And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.

Opustošit ću Patros, zapaliti Soan, izvršiti sud na Tebi.

15 And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.

Iskalit ću gnjev nad Sinom, tvrđom egipatskom, istrijebit ću mnoštvo u Tebi.

16 And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.

Zapalit ću oganj pod Egiptom: Sin će uzdrhtati od strave, Teba će biti osvojena, a Memfis u tjeskobi dan za danom.

17 The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.

Mladići Heliopola i Pi-Beseta od mača će pasti. A oni će biti odvedeni u ropstvo!

18 And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the sceptres of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.

Nad Tafnisom pomrčat će dan kad ondje slomim jaram egipatski i kad se dokonča ponos moći u njemu! Nad njim će se nadviti oblak, i njegove će kćeri biti odvedene u ropstvo!

19 And I will execute judgement on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Tako ću izvršiti sud nad Egiptom, i znat će da sam ja Jahve.'”

20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Godine jedanaeste, prvoga mjeseca, sedmoga dana dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

21 Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.

“Sine čovječji, gle, slomih mišicu faraonu, kralju egipatskom! I evo, nisu je ni povili: nisu metnuli lijekove niti su je povojima obavili da je okrijepe kako bi se opet mogla prihvatiti mača.

22 Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will strike down his sword out of his hand.

Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me protiv faraona, kralja egipatskoga, da mu slomim obje ruke, i zdravu i slomljenu, i da mu mač izbijem iz ruke!

23 And I will disperse the Egyptians amongst the nations, and will utterly scatter them amongst the countries.

Razagnat ću Egipćane među narode i rasijati ih po zemljama!

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.

Ojačat ću ruke kralju babilonskom i mač ću svoj staviti u njegovu ruku; a faraonu ću slomiti ruke te će stenjati pred neprijateljem kao ranjenik.

25 Yes, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.

Da, ojačat ću ruke kralju babilonskom, a ruke će faraonove klonuti. I znat će se da sam ja Jahve kad metnem mač svoj u ruke kralju babilonskom i on ga zavitla nad zemljom egipatskom.

26 And I will disperse the Egyptians amongst the nations, and utterly scatter them amongst the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.

Raspršit ću Egipćane među narode i rasijati ih po zemljama. I znat će da sam ja Jahve.'”
