< 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 looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw amongst them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, 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:
He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 'Nije li čas da gradimo domove? Ovaj je grad kotao, a mi smo meso.'
who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4 Zato prorokuj protiv njih, prorokuj, sine čovječji!”
Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, 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!
The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Množite ubojstva u ovome gradu i njegove ulice punite truplima.'
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you 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 the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8 Od mača strahujete, i mač ću na vas dovesti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says 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 middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgements amongst 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. I will judge you in the border 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,
This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. 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!'”
You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations 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?”
When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
14 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
The LORD’s word 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, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for 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 say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off amongst the nations, and whereas I have scattered them amongst the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while 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!
“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you Eretz-Israel.”
18 I kad se u nju vrate, istrijebit će iz nje sve grozote i gadosti.
“‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
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,
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will 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!
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. 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 them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
22 Kerubini podigoše krila i točkovi se digoše za njima, a Slava Boga Izraelova lebdijaše nad njima.
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. 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.
The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on 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.
The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Kasdimah, to the captives. 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 the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
