Ezekiel 33
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 “You human, speak to your fellow Israelis and say this to them: ‘When I bring an enemy army [MTY] to attack a country, and the people of that country choose one of their men and appoint him to be a watchman,
“Sine čovječji, govori sinovima naroda svojega! Reci: 'Ako ja na neku zemlju dovedem mač, a narod te zemlje uzme jednoga između sebe i postavi ga za stražara,
3 if he sees the enemy army [MTY] coming to attack his country, and he blows a trumpet to warn the people,
a on - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - zatrubi u rog i opomene sav narod:
4 if anyone hears the trumpet and does not heed the warning, and as a result he is killed by the sword [of one of his enemies], he will be responsible for his own death [MTY].
ako se tada onaj koji čuje glas roga ne da opomenuti te mač dođe i pogubi ga - krv njegova past će na glavu njegovu:
5 If he had heeded the warning, he would have (have saved his life/still be alive). But because he heard the sound of the trumpet and did not heed that warning, his death will be his own fault.
jer, čuo je glas roga, ali se ne dade opomenuti - krv njegova past će na njega. Da se dao opomenuti, spasio bi život.
6 But if the watchman sees the enemy army [MTY] coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people, and one of his people is killed by an enemy sword, that person will die because of his sin, but I will consider that the watchman is responsible for that man’s death.’
A opet, ako stražar - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - ne zatrubi u rog i ne opomene narod te mač dođe i pogubi koga od njih: taj je, doduše, poginuo zbog svoga grijeha, ali ću ja krv njegovu tražiti iz stražarove ruke.'
7 So, you human, I have appointed you to be a watchman for the Israeli people [MTY]. So always listen to what I say and warn the people for me.
I tebe sam, sine čovječji, postavio za stražara domu Izraelovu: kad čuješ riječ iz mojih usta, opomeni ih u moje ime.
8 When I say to some wicked person, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die [because of your sins,’ you must tell him that]. If you do not speak to that person to warn him that he should turn away from his sins, that wicked person will die because of his sins, but I will say that you are responsible for his death [MTY].
Reknem li bezbožniku: 'Bezbožniče, umrijet ćeš!' - a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, bezbožnik će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, ali krv njegovu tražit ću iz tvoje ruke.
9 But if you warn that wicked person that he should turn away from his sins, and he does not do that, he will die because of his sins, but you will have saved your life.
Ali ako bezbožnika opomeneš da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svojega puta: on će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, a ti si spasio život svoj.
10 You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what you all are saying: “[The guilt that we have for] disobeying God’s laws and sinning is like a heavy weight on us, and it is hurting us, and we are slowly dying. So what can we do to continue to remain alive?”’
Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: Vi govorite: 'Prijestupi i grijesi naši pritišću nas i zbog njih propadamo! I da još živimo?'
11 Say to them, ‘Yahweh the Lord says, “As surely as I am alive, I am not happy when wicked people die; I would prefer that they turn away from their wicked behavior and continue to live. So repent! Turn away from your evil behavior! You Israeli people, do you really want to die [RHQ]?”’
Odgovori im: 'Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nije meni do smrti bezbožnikove, nego da se odvrati od zloga puta svojega i da živi! Obratite se, dakle, obratite od zloga puta svojega! Zašto da umrete, dome Izraelov!'
12 Therefore, you human, say to your fellow Israelis, ‘If righteous people start to disobey me, their being righteous previously will not save them [from being punished]. And if wicked people turn away from their wicked behavior, they will not die because of the sins that they committed [previously]. And if righteous people start to sin, they will not be allowed to remain alive because of their formerly being righteous.’
Sine čovječji, reci sinovima naroda svoga: 'Pravednika neće izbaviti pravednost njegova u dan kad sagriješi niti će bezbožnik stradati zbog svoje bezbožnosti u dan kad se od nje odvrati, kao što ni pravednik neće moći ostati na životu u dan kad sagriješi.
13 If I tell righteous people that they will surely remain alive, but then they trust/think that because they have been righteous previously, they can start to do evil [and not be punished], I will not think about the righteous things that they did previously; they will die because of the evil things that they are doing.
Reknem li ja prevedniku: 'Živjet ćeš!' a on se pouzda u svoju pravednost i stane činiti nepravdu, zaboravit ću svu njegovu pravednost, i on će umrijeti zbog nepravde što je počini!
14 And if I say to some wicked person, ‘You will surely die [because of your sins],’ that person may turn away from his sinful behavior and do what is just and right [DOU].
A reknem li bezbožniku: 'Umrijet ćeš!' a on se odvrati od grijeha svojega i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi,
15 For example, he may return what he took from another person to guarantee [that that person would pay back what he owes], or he may return things that he has stolen, and he may obey the laws that will enable [those who obey them] to remain alive, and he will not continue to do evil things. If that happens, he will surely remain alive; he will not die [because of the sins that he committed previously].
vrati zalog, plati oteto i stane živjeti po zakonima života, ne čineći bezakonja - živjet će, neće umrijeti!
16 I will not think about the sins that he has committed; he will surely remain alive.
I svi grijesi njegovi što ih bijaše počinio bit će mu zaboravljeni. Radi po zakonu i pravdi, živjet će!'
17 Your fellow Israelis say, ‘What Yahweh does is not fair.’ But it is your behavior that is not fair.
Ali sinovi naroda tvoga govore: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Njihov put nije pravedan!
18 If a righteous person turns away from doing what is righteous and starts to do what is evil, [it is fair that] he die because of his sins.
Ako se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, on će stoga umrijeti.
19 And if a wicked person turns away from his wicked behavior and does what is right and fair [DOU], [it is fair] for him to remain alive because of doing that.
A ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi, on će zbog toga živjeti.
20 But you Israeli people still say, ‘What Yahweh does is not fair.’ But I will judge each of you for what you do.”
A vi velite: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Svakome ću od vas suditi prema putovima njegovim, dome Izraelov!”
21 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the fifth day of the tenth month [of that year], a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me [in Babylon] and said, “Jerusalem has been captured!”
Godine dvanaeste, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana našeg izgnanstva, dođe k meni bjegunac iz Jeruzalema i reče: “Pade grad!”
22 The evening before that man arrived, Yahweh took control [MTY] of me, and when that man arrived, Yahweh enabled me to speak again; I was no longer forced to be silent.
Ruka se Jahvina spustila na me uveče, prije dolaska toga bjegunca, i otvorila mi usta prije negoli on dođe k meni ujutro! Otvoriše mi se, dakle, usta i ja više ne bijah nijem.
23 Then Yahweh gave a message to me. He said,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
24 “You human, the people who are living in the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one person, but Yahweh [promised him that he and his descendants] would possess this land. But we are many; so surely this land has been given to us [by Yahweh] to continue to possess.’
“Sine čovječji, oni koji žive u ovim ruševinama zemlje Izraelove govore: 'Jedan bijaše Abraham i baštini ovu zemlju, a nas je mnogo - nama je zemlja dana u posjed!'
25 So send a message to them. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You eat meat that still has the animal’s blood in it. You still worship idols. And you still murder others [MTY]. So, (should this land belong to you?/this land should certainly not belong to you!) [RHQ]
Stoga im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Vi blagujete po gorama, oči podižete kumirima svojim, krv prolijevate - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?
26 You rely on using your swords [to obtain things that you want]. You do many detestable things. Each of you has sex with other men’s wives. So (why should you continue to possess the land of Israel?/you should not continue to possess this land!) [RHQ]’
Na svoj se mač oslanjate, činite gadosti, oskvrnjujete ženu bližnjega - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?'
27 Send this message to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: As surely as I am alive, those who are left in the ruins [in Jerusalem] will also be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are living in the countryside will be killed by wild animals, and those who are living in forts and caves will die from a plague.
Ovo im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Života mi moga, oni koji su u ruševinama od mača će pasti; one koji su u polju dat ću zvijerima da ih proždru; a koji su u utvrdama i po pećinama od kuge će poginuti!
28 I will cause your country to become a desolate wasteland. You will no longer be proud of being a strong country. The mountains of Israel will become very desolate, with the result that no one will walk across them.
Tako ću zemlju ovu razoriti i opustošiti i nestat će zauvijek drskoga njezina ponosa. Opustjet će gore Izraelove i nitko više neće njima prolaziti.
29 Then, when I have caused your country to become a desolate wasteland because of all the detestable things that you have done, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
I znat će da sam ja Jahve kad zemlju njihovu razorim i opustošim zbog svih gadosti što ih počiniše.'
30 As for you, you human, your fellow Israelis [here in Babylon] are talking about you along the city walls and at the doors of their houses. They are saying to each other, ‘Come and listen to the message that has come from Yahweh!’
A o tebi, sine čovječji, sinovi naroda tvoga kazuju uza zidove i na kućnim vratima i govore jedan drugom: 'Hajde da čujemo kakva je to riječ došla od Jahve!'
31 My people come to you as they often have done, and they sit in front of you to listen to what you say. But they do not do what you tell them that they must do. With their mouths they say that they love me, but in their inner beings they are eager to acquire things by doing what is unjust.
I hrle k tebi kao na zbor narodni; i narod moj sjeda preda te i sluša tvoje riječi, ali ih ne izvršuje: naslađuju se njima u ustima, a srce im ide za nepravednim dobitkom.
32 To them, you are only a man who sings love songs with a beautiful voice, and you play a musical instrument well. They hear what you say, but they do not do what you tell them to do.
I gle, ti si za njih kao slatka pjesma uz glazbu otpjevana glasom umilnim: riječi ti slušaju, ali ih ne izvršuju.
33 The terrible things that I have said will happen to them will surely happen. And then they will know that a prophet has been among them, [and that you are that prophet].”
Ali kad sve ovo dođe - gle, već dolazi - znat će da prorok bijaše među njima!”
