Ezekiel 29

1 Godine desete, desetoga mjeseca, dvanaestoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv sveg Egipta.

“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.

3 Govori i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo me protiv tebe, faraone, kralju egipatski, golemi krokodile što ležiš usred rijeka svojih. Ti reče: 'Rijeke su moje, sebi sam ih načinio.'

Declare and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You, the great sea monster that lurks in the midst of the river, that says, “My river is my own. I have made it for myself.”

4 I zato ću ti kuke zarit' u gubicu i sve ribe rijeka tvojih zalijepiti na krljušti tvoje. Izvući ću te isred rijeka tvojih sa svim ribama rijeka tvojih zalijepljenim na tvoje krljušti.

For I will place hooks in your jaw, and the fish of your Nile will cling to your scales; I will lift you up from the middle of your river along with all the fish of the river that cling to your scales.

5 Bacit ću u pustinju tebe i sve ribe iz rijeka tvojih. Na tlo ćeš poljsko pasti, nitko te neće podić' ni sahraniti, zvijerima zemaljskim i nebeskim pticama dat ću te za hranu!

I will throw you down into the wilderness, you and all the fish from your river. You will fall on the open field; you will not be gathered nor lifted up. I will give you as food to the living things of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.

6 I znat će svi stanovnici Egipta da sam ja Jahve. Jer ti bješe trska za oslonac domu Izraelovu!

Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a reed stalk to the house of Israel.

7 Kad te u ruku uhvatiše, ti se slomi i rane im otvori; a kad se na te osloniše, ti prepuče i bedra im sva izrani.'

When they took hold of you in their hand, you broke and tore open their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you were broken, and you caused their legs to be unsteady.

8 Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, dovest ću mač svoj na te, istrijebit ću iz tebe i ljude i stoku!

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will bring a sword against you. I will cut off both man and beast from you.

9 Sva će zemlja egipatska pustoš biti i razvalina, i oni će znati da sam ja Jahve!' Jer ti reče: 'Rijeka je moja, sebi je načinih.'

So the land of Egypt will become desolate and a ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because the sea monster had said, “The river is mine, for I have made it.”

10 'Zato evo me na te i na rijeke tvoje da pretvorim zemlju egipatsku u pustinju i pustoš od Migdola do Sevana i do granice etiopske!

Therefore, behold! I am against you and against your river, so I will give the land of Egypt over to desolation and waste, and you will become a wasteland from the Migdol to Syene and the borders of Cush.

11 Neće njome više prolaziti noga ljudska ni noga životinjska, ostat će nenaseljena četrdeset godina.

No man's foot will pass through it, and no wild animal's foot will pass through it. It will not be inhabited for forty years.

12 Od zemlje ću egipatske načiniti pustoš sred zemalja opustošenih, a gradovi njezini bit će četrdeset godina ruševine među razvaljenim gradovima. I raspršit ću Egipćane među narode i rasijat ću ih po zemljama.'

For I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of uninhabited lands, and its cities in the midst of wasted cities will become a desolation for forty years; then I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them though the lands.

13 Jer, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Kad mine četrdeset godina, sakupit ću opet sve Egipćane između naroda kamo bijahu raspršeni.

For the Lord Yahweh says this: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.

14 Vratit ću izgnanike egipatske, vratit ću ih opet u zemlju Patros, domovinu njihovu, da osnuju ondje slabo kraljevstvo.

I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the region of Pathros, to the land of their origin. Then they will be a lowly kingdom there.

15 Ono će biti najmanje od svih kraljevstava, da se više nikad ne digne nad druge narode. Smanjit ću ga da više nikad ne podjarmi drugih naroda

It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will not be lifted up any more among the nations. I will diminish them so they will no longer rule over nations.

16 i da više ne bude uzdanje domu Izraelovu. Nek' mu u pamet doziva grijehe koje bijaše počinio okrećući se za njima. I oni će spoznati da sam ja Jahve.'”

The Egyptians will no longer be a reason for confidence for the house of Israel. Instead, they will be a reminder of the iniquity that Israel committed when they turned to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.'”

17 Godine dvadeset i sedme, prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

18 “Sine čovječji, kralj babilonski Nabukodonozor krenu s vojskom na velik pohod protiv grada Tira. I svaka glava ogolje i svako se rame odadrije. Ali ni on ni vojska mu ne imahu nikakve dobiti od toga što krenuše na Tir.

“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was rubbed until it was made bald, and every shoulder was made raw. Yet he and his army received no payment from Tyre for the hard work that he carried out against it.

19 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, predat ću Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskome, zemlju egipatsku. Odnijet će joj blago, nagrabiti plijena i opljačkati je. To će biti plaća vojsci njegovoj.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages.

20 Za trud što na Tir krenu dat ću mu svu zemlju egipatsku, jer za me bijaše radio' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

21 'U onaj ću dan učiniti da izraste rog domu Izraelovu, a tebi ću usta otvoriti među njima. I znat će da sam ja Jahve.'”

On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
