< 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.
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, evo ljudi koji smišljaju opačine i koji u ovom gradu daju zle savjete:
Then said he to me, Son of man, these are the men that plot mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 'Nije li čas da gradimo domove? Ovaj je grad kotao, a mi smo meso.'
Who say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
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 said to me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
6 Množite ubojstva u ovome gradu i njegove ulice punite truplima.'
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled its streets with the slain.
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 thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
8 Od mača strahujete, i mač ću na vas dovesti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Izvest ću vas iz grada i predati vas u ruke tuđincima, i sud ću svoj izvršiti nad vama:
And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 od mača ćete pasti! Na međi Izraelovoj sudit ću vam, i tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve!
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall 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,
This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it; but I will judge you in the border 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 ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are 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?”
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
Again 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, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the LORD: to us is this land given in 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 say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall 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!
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, 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 shall come there, and they shall take away from there 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 one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an 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!
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall 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 them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
22 Kerubini podigoše krila i točkovi se digoše za njima, a Slava Boga Izraelova lebdijaše nad njima.
Then the cherubim raised their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Slava se Jahvina vinu iz grada i zaustavi se na gori, istočno od grada.
And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 A mene duh podiže i ponese duhom Božjim k izgnanicima u zemlju kaldejsku. I iščeznu viđenje koje gledah.
Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 I pripovjedih izgnanicima sve što mi Jahve bijaše objavio.
Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
