Ezekiel 20
1 It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
Godine sedme, petoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođoše k meni neke od starješina izraelskih da se s Jahvom svjetuju. Posjedaše preda me.
2 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
3 "Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the LORD, I will not be inquired of by you."'
“Sine čovječji! Govori starješinama Izraelovim! Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Došli ste me pitati za savjet? Života mi moga, nećete me pitati!' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
Hoćeš li im suditi, hoćeš li suditi, sine čovječji? Pokaži im gadosti otaca njihovih.
5 and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, 'I am the LORD your God';
Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Onoga dana kad izabrah Izraela i ruku stavih na potomstvo doma Jakovljeva te im se objavih u zemlji egipatskoj, zakleh im se: Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!
6 in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
Toga im se dana rukom podignutom zakleh da ću ih izvesti iz zemlje egipatske u zemlju koju za njih izabrah, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu.
7 I said to them, 'Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.'
I rekoh im: Odbacite od sebe sve gadosti što vam oči privlače i ne kaljajte se kumirima egipatskim jer - ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!'
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn't throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ali se oni odvrgoše od mene i ne htjedoše me poslušati: nijedan ne odbaci gadosti koje mu oči zaniješe i ne okani se kumira egipatskih. Tad odlučih izliti gnjev svoj na njih i iskaliti srdžbu na njima u zemlji egipatskoj.
9 But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Ali radi imena svojega - da se ne kalja na oči naroda među kojima obitavahu i pred kojima im bijah objavio da ću ih izvesti -
10 "'"So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
izvedoh ih iz zemlje egipatske i odvedoh ih u pustinju;
11 I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
i dadoh im svoje uredbe i objavih svoje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio;
12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
dadoh im i svoje subote, kao znak između sebe i njih, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve koji ih posvećujem.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Ali se i u pustinji dom Izraelov odmetnu od mene: nisu hodili po mojim uredbama; odbaciše moje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio; subote moje oskvrnjivahu. I zato odlučih u pustinji gnjev svoj na njih izliti da ih zatrem.
14 But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ali ni toga ne učinih radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.
15 "'"Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the most beautiful of all lands;
Ali im se zakleh u pustinji da ih neću uvesti u zemlju koju sam im bio dao, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu,
16 because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
jer odbaciše moje zakone, i ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i subote moje oskvrnjivahu, a srce im iđaše za njihovim kumirima.
17 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Oči se moje ipak sažališe da ih ne zatrem. I tako ih u pustinji ne uništih,
18 "'"I said to their children in the wilderness, 'Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
nego rekoh sinovima njihovim u pustinji: 'Ne hodite po uredbama svojih otaca, ne čuvajte zakona njihovih i ne kaljajte se kumirima njihovim!
19 I am the LORD your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;
Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš! Po uredbama mojim hodite, čuvajte i vršite moje zakone
20 and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'
i svetkujte moje subote, neka one budu znak između mene i vas, kako bi se znalo da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš!'
21 But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
Ali se i sinovi odmetnuše od mene: po mojim uredbama nisu hodili i nisu čuvali ni vršili mojih zakona, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio, a subote su moje oskvrnjivali. I zato odlučih gnjev svoj izliti i iskaliti srdžbu svoju na njima u pustinji.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Ali opet ruku svoju sustegoh radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.
23 Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
No zakleh se u pustinji da ću ih raspršiti među narode i rasijati po zemljama,
24 because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
jer nisu vršili mojih zakona i jer prezreše moje uredbe i jer subote moje oskvrnjivahu i oči upirahu u kumire svojih otaca.
25 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;
I zato im dadoh uredbe koje ne bijahu dobre, zakone koji usmrćuju:
26 and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD."'
da se oskvrnjuju svojim prinosima, provodeći kroz oganj svoju prvorođenčad. Htjedoh tako da ih zastrašim, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve.
27 "Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! I ovim me oci vaši još uvrijediše: nevjerom mi se iznevjeriše!
28 For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.
Kad ih uvedoh u zemlju koju im se zakleh dati, gdje god bi ugledali povišen brežuljak ili stablo krošnjato, prinosili bi žrtve, donosili izazovne prinose, metali mirise ugodne, nalijevali ljevanice.
29 Then I said to them, 'What does the high place where you go mean?' So its name is called Bamah to this day."'
Upitah ih: što li znači ta uzvišica na koju se penjete?' I tako osta ime 'bama', uzvišica, do dana današnjega.
30 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
Zato reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ne kaljate li se i vi kao oci vaši, ne provodite li i vi blud s gadostima njihovim?
31 And when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the LORD, I will not be inquired of by you;
Kaljate se prinoseći im darove, provodeći kroz oganj svoje sinove u čast svim kumirima svojim sve do dana današnjega. I da me onda za savjet pitaš, dome Izraelov! Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nećete me za savjet pitati!
32 and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, 'We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.'
I neće se zbiti o čemu sanjate kad govorite: 'Bit ćemo kao drugi narodi, kao narodi ostalih zemalja što služe drveću i kamenju.'
33 As I live," says the LORD, "surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:
Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - vladat ću vama rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svoj žestini svoje jarosti.
34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;
Izvest ću vas iz naroda, skupiti vas iz svih zemalja u koje bijaste raspršeni rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svem plamu jarosti moje!
35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
Odvest ću vas u pustinju naroda i ondje vam licem u lice suditi!
36 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you," says the LORD.
Kao što sudih ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje egipatske, i vama ću suditi - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!
37 "I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
Provest ću vas ispod štapa svojega, podvrći vas brojenju:
38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD."
razlučit ću između vas sve koji se pobuniše i odvrgoše od mene: izvest ću ih iz zemlje u kojoj kao došljaci borave, ali - u zemlju Izraelovu nikad ući neće! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'
39 "'As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD: "Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.
'A vi, dome Izraelov' - ovako govori Jahve Gospod - 'samo idite i dalje služite svaki svom kumiru! Jednom ćete, kunem vas se, poslušati i nećete više kaljati moje sveto ime svojim prinosima i kumirima:
40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel," says the LORD, "there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
na Svetoj gori mojoj, na visokoj gori Izraelovoj - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - služit će mi sav dom Izraelov, u svojoj zemlji. Ondje će mi oni omiljeti i ondje ću iskati vaše podizanice i prinose vaših prvina sa svim svetinjama.
41 As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
Omiljet ćete mi kao miris ugodan kad vas izvedem iz narodÄa i skupim iz zemalja u kojima bjeste rasijani. I na vama ću očitovati svetost svoju naočigled svih naroda.
42 You shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
Tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve, kada vas dovedem u zemlju Izraelovu, u zemlju koju se zakleh dati očevima vašim.
43 There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
Ondje ćete se spomenuti svih svojih putova i nedjela kojima se okaljaste: sami ćete sebi omrznuti zbog nedjela što ih počiniste.
44 You shall know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel," says the LORD.'"
I tada ćete spoznati da sam ja Jahve kad, radi imena svojega, ne postupim s vama po zloći vaših putova ni po vašim pokvarenim djelima, dome Izraelov! Tako govori Jahve Gospod!'”
45 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
46 "Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;
“Sine čovječji, okreni lice k jugu i prospi besjedu prema jugu te prorokuj protiv šume u kraju negepskom.
47 and tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.
Reci šumi negepskoj: 'Poslušaj riječ Jahvinu! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, zapalit ću usred tebe oganj i on će proždrijeti u tebi svako drvo, zeleno i suho! Razgorjeli se oganj neće utrnuti dok sve ne izgori od sjevera do juga.
48 All flesh shall see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."'"
I svi će vidjeti da sam ja, Jahve, zapalio taj oganj i neće se ugasiti.'”
49 Then I said, "Ah, LORD. They say of me, 'Isn't he a speaker of parables?'"
Rekoh na to: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, tÓa oni će za mene reći: 'Evo opet pričalice s pričama!'”
