Ezekiel 5

1 A ti, sine čovječji, uzmi mač naoštren, uzmi ga kao britvu brijačku i obrij glavu i bradu. Zatim uzmi mjerice i porazdijeli.

And you, son of man, take you a sharp knife, take you a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass on your head and on your beard: then take you balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

2 Trećinu spali posred grada ognjem kad se navrše dani tvoje opsade; trećinu uzmi i sasijeci mačem oko grada; trećinu baci u vjetar - i svoj ću mač trgnuti na njih.

You shall burn with fire a third part in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and you shall take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part you shall scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

3 Uzmi malo i zaveži u skute haljine.

You shall also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.

4 Od toga opet nešto uzmi, baci u vatru i spali: odatle će se razgorjeti vatra svemu domu Izraelovu!”

Then take of them again, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

5 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ovo je Jeruzalem! Postavih ga u središte naroda, okružih ga zemljama!

Thus says the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the middle of the nations and countries that are round about her.

6 Ali se on odupro mojim naredbama većma nego pogani, zakonima mojim većma nego zemlje koje ga okružuju.”

And she has changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

7 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Buntovniji ste od naroda koji vas okružuju, ne hodite po mojim zakonima i ne vršite ni mojih naredaba ni naredaba okolnih naroda.”

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

8 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo i mene protiv tebe! Izvršit ću sud svoj nad tobom na oči svih naroda.

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will execute judgments in the middle of you in the sight of the nations.

9 Zbog tvojih gadosti učinit ću s tobom što još ne učinih nikada nit ću ikad učiniti:

And I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.

10 posred tebe očevi će jesti sinove, a sinovi očeve; izvršit ću sud svoj nad tobom i sav ostatak tvoj predati svim vjetrovima!

Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the middle of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and the whole remnant of you will I scatter into all the winds.

11 Života mi moga! - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - svakojakim grozotama i gadostima ti uistinu oskvrnu moje Svetište. I ja ću sada brijati i oko se moje neće sažaliti i neću se smilovati:

Why, as I live, says the Lord GOD; Surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

12 trećina će tvojih žitelja posred tebe od kuge skončati i od gladi umrijeti; trećina će oko tebe od mača pasti; trećinu ću predati vjetrovima - i mač ću svoj trgnuti na njih!

A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the middle of you: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about you; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

13 Tako ću iskaliti gnjev svoj i smirit će se jarost moja kad im se osvetim. I kad iskalim jarost svoju nad njima, spoznat će da sam to ja, Jahve, u ljubomori svojoj bio rekao.

Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest on them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

14 Opustošit ću te, izvrgnut ću te ruglu naroda koji te okružuju, na oči svim prolaznicima.

Moreover I will make you waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about you, in the sight of all that pass by.

15 Da, bit ćeš na ruglo i sramotu, opomena i užas okolnim narodima kad izvršim protiv tebe sve svoje sudove kažnjavajući gnjevno, jarosno. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!

So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment to the nations that are round about you, when I shall execute judgments in you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.

16 I kad na vas pustim ljute strijele gladi što zatiru, koje ću pustiti na vas da vas uništim i glađu zatrem - uništit ću vam i posljednju pričuvu kruha.

When I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread:

17 A povrh gladi pustit ću na vas i divlje zvijeri koje će ti djecu rastrgati; kuga će te i krv preplaviti: pod mač ću te svoj okrenuti. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!”

So will I send on you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave you: and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you. I the LORD have spoken it.
