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.

And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

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

Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:

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

Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.

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

For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, 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 came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.

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

You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.

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.

For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.

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

You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord.

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

I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you.

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

You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain 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,

This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land 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!'”

And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about 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 while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

14 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

And 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 countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

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.'

For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

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!

Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.

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

And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

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 a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh 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 be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a 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 heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.

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

Then the wings of the winged ones were lifted up, and the wheels were by their side; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

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

And the glory of the Lord went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.

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

And the wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.

25 I pripovjedih izgnanicima sve što mi Jahve bijaše objavio.

Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.
