Ezekiel 11

1 Tada se duh podiže i ponese me do istočnih vrata Doma Jahvina, što su okrenuta k istoku. I gle: na ulazu vrata dvadeset i pet ljudi, među kojima vidjeh i Jaazaniju, sina Azurova, i Pelatju, sina Benajina, knezove narodne.

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.

2 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, evo ljudi koji smišljaju opačine i koji u ovom gradu daju zle savjete:

And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.

3 'Nije li čas da gradimo domove? Ovaj je grad kotao, a mi smo meso.'

They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’

4 Zato prorokuj protiv njih, prorokuj, sine čovječji!”

Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”

5 I duh Jahvin siđe nada me i kaza mi: “Reci: Ovako veli Jahve Gospod: 'Ne govoriš li tako, dome Izraelov? Ali ja poznajem misli vašega srca!

And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.

6 Množite ubojstva u ovome gradu i njegove ulice punite truplima.'

You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

7 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Oni koje vi probodoste i razbacaste po gradu - oni su meso, a grad je kotao. Zato ću vas ja izvesti sada iz njega.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.

8 Od mača strahujete, i mač ću na vas dovesti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.

9 Izvest ću vas iz grada i predati vas u ruke tuđincima, i sud ću svoj izvršiti nad vama:

I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.

10 od mača ćete pasti! Na međi Izraelovoj sudit ću vam, i tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve!

You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

11 A ovaj grad više vam neće biti kotao i vi nećete biti meso njegovo. Na međi Izraelovoj sudit ću vam,

The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.

12 i tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve po čijim uredbama ne živjeste i čijih zakona ne izvršavaste, nego živjeste po zakonima okolnih naroda!'”

Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”

13 Dok ja tako prorokovah, umrije Pelatja, sin Benajin. I ja padoh ničice te zavapih iz svega glasa: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, zar ćeš doista uništiti sav Ostatak doma Izraelova?”

Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”

14 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

15 “Sine čovječji, tvojoj braći, i tvojim rođacima, i svem domu Izraelovu Jeruzalemci govore: 'Daleko ste od Jahve! Nama je ova zemlja dana u posjed!'

“Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’

16 Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Ako ih i odagnah među daleke narode, ako ih i rasprših po zemljama, ja ću im sam uskoro biti Svetište u zemljama u kojima se nalaze.'

Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’

17 Stoga im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Sabrat ću vas iz narodÄa, vratit ću vas iz zemalja u kojima ste bili raspršeni i dat ću vam opet zemlju Izraelovu!

Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’

18 I kad se u nju vrate, istrijebit će iz nje sve grozote i gadosti.

When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.

19 I ja ću im dati novo srce i nov ću duh udahnuti u njih: iščupat ću iz njih njihovo kameno srce i stavit ću u njih srce od mesa,

And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,

20 da hode po mojim naredbama i da čuvaju i vrše sve moje zakone. I bit će oni moj narod, a ja Bog njihov!

so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.

21 A onima kojima srce hodi za grozotama i gadostima oborit ću na glavu njihov put' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”

But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

22 Kerubini podigoše krila i točkovi se digoše za njima, a Slava Boga Izraelova lebdijaše nad njima.

Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

23 Slava se Jahvina vinu iz grada i zaustavi se na gori, istočno od grada.

And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.

24 A mene duh podiže i ponese duhom Božjim k izgnanicima u zemlju kaldejsku. I iščeznu viđenje koje gledah.

And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,

25 I pripovjedih izgnanicima sve što mi Jahve bijaše objavio.

I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
