Ezekiel 30

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!

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

The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.

4 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.

A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.

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

Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.

6 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.

This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.

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

Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.

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

Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.

9 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!'

At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!

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

This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.

11 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.

He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.

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

I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.

13 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.

This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.

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

I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.

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

I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.

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

I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.

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

The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.

18 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!

It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.

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

This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”

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

On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

21 “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.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.

22 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!

So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.

23 Razagnat ću Egipćane među narode i rasijati ih po zemljama!

I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.

24 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.

I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.

25 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.

I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.

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

When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
