Ezekiel 13

1 I opet mi dođe riječ Jahvina:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 “Sine čovječji! Prorokuj protiv onih koji se grade prorocima u Izraelu!

“Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you shall say to those who prophesy from their own heart: Hear the word of the Lord:

3 Reci tim prorocima koji prorokuju po svojoj glavi: 'Čujte riječ Jahvinu! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Jao prorocima bezumnim koji duh svoj slijede a ništa ne vide!

Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, and who see nothing.

4 Ti su tvoji proroci, Izraele, kao lisice usred ruševina.

Your prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.

5 Vi se ne popeste na proboje i ne zidaste zida oko doma Izraelova da se održi u boju u dan Jahvin.

You have not gone up against the adversary, and you have not established a wall for the house of Israel, so as to stand in battle on the day of the Lord.

6 Viđenja su njihova isprazna, i lažna su njihova proricanja. Govore 'Riječ Jahvina!' - a Jahve ih nije poslao. I još očekuju da će im se riječi ispuniti.

They see emptiness, and they foretell falsehoods, saying, ‘The Lord says,’ though the Lord has not sent them. And they continued to affirm what they said.

7 Zar ne vidite da su vam viđenja isprazna i da su vam lažna proricanja kad govorite 'Riječ Jahvina!' - a ja nisam govorio.'

Have you not seen a futile vision and spoken a lying divination? And yet you say, ‘The Lord says,’ though I have not spoken.

8 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što govorite isprazno i laž vidite, evo me protiv vas' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have spoken emptiness and have seen falsehoods, therefore: behold, I am against you, says the Lord God.

9 Evo, ruka moja bit će protiv proroka koji vide isprazno i laž proriču: neće više biti u zboru mojega naroda, neće biti upisani u knjigu doma Izraelova, nikad više neće stupiti na tlo Izraelovo! I znat će da sam ja Jahve Gospod!

And my hand will be over the prophets who are seeing emptiness and divining lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, and they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel. Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

10 Jer narod moj obmanjuju govoreći 'Mir' kad mira nema. I dok jedni hoće da se zid utvrdi, oni hoće da se samo ožbuka.

For they have deceived my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ and there is no peace. And they have built a wall, but they have covered it in clay without straw.

11 Reci onima koji hoće da se samo ožbuka: 'Past će!' Udarit će silan pljusak, oborit ću na nj grÓad kao kamenje, bjesnjet će olujni vihori.

Say to those who spread mortar without mixing, that it will fall apart. For there will be an inundating rain, and I will cause full-grown hailstones to rush down from above, and a windstorm to dissipate it.

12 Evo, zid će pasti! Neće li vas tada pitati: 'Gdje vam je sada žbuka kojom ste ga ožbukali?'

So then, behold: when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you: ‘Where is the mortar with which you covered it?’

13 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'U svojoj jarosti razbjesnit ću olujne vihore, u srdžbi ću svojoj udariti silnim pljuskom da ga zatrem, u gnjevu ću na nj oboriti grÓad kao kamenje.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: And I will cause a violent wind to burst forth in my indignation, and there will be an inundating rain in my fury, and great hailstones in wrath, to consume.

14 Obalit ću zid što ga vi žbukom ožbukaste, na zemlju ću ga oboriti da mu se razgole temelji. Past će zid, i vi ćete pod njim izginuti! Tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve!

And I will destroy the wall that you have covered without tempering it. And I will level it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed. And it will fall and be consumed in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

15 Tako ću iskaliti gnjev nad zidom i nad onima koji ga žbukom ožbukaše. A vama ću reći: Nema više zida! Nema onih koji ga žbukom ožbukaše.

And I will fulfill my indignation against the wall, and against those who cover it without mixing the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and those who covered it are no more:

16 Nema izraelskih proroka koji Jeruzalemu proricahu i koji mu mir vidješe kad mira ne bijaše.' Tako govori Jahve Gospod.”

the prophets of Israel, who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord God.

17 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice protiv kćeri svojega naroda koje prorokuju po svojoj glavi! Prorokuj protiv njih:

And as for you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy from their own heart. And prophesy about them,

18 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao onima koje vezu poveze za svačije ruke i koje prave prijevjese za glave svake veličine da ulove duše! Mislite li uloviti sve duše mojega naroda a svoje duše sačuvati žive?

and say: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to those who sew together little pillows under every forearm, and who make little cushions for the heads of every stage of life, in order to capture souls. And when they have seized the souls of my people, they became the life of their souls.

19 Obeščašćujete me pred mojim narodom za šaku ječma, za zalogaj kruha, ubijajući duše koje ne bi trebale da umru, a spasavajući one koje ne bi trebale da žive; i obmanjujete tako narod moj koji rado sluša vaše laži.'

And they violated me among my people, for the sake of a handful of barley and a fragment of bread, so that they would kill the souls that should not die, and enliven the souls that should not live, lying to my people who believe in falsehoods.

20 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me protiv vaših poveza kojima lovite duše kao ptice! Rastrgat ću sve to na vašim rukama i oslobodit ću duše koje time hvatate kao ptice!

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your little pillows, with which you catch flying souls. And I will tear them away from your arms. And I will release the souls that you are capturing, the souls that should fly.

21 Poderat ću vaše prijevjese i oslobodit ću svoj narod da ne bude više plijen vaših ruku. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!

And I will tear away your little cushions. And I will free my people from your hand. And they shall no longer be a prey in your hands. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

22 Jer vi lažju ražalostiste srce pravednika, koje ja ražalostiti ne htjedoh, a okrijepiste ruke bezbožnika da se ne obrati od zla puta bezbožničkog pa da život spasi.

For by deception you have caused the heart of the just to grieve, whom I would not sadden. And I have strengthened the hands of the impious, so that he would not be turned back from his evil way and live.

23 Zato nećete više vidjeti isprazno niti ćete laž proricati: ja ću osloboditi narod svoj iz vaših ruku. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'”

Therefore, you shall not see emptiness, and you shall not divine divinations, any more. And I will rescue my people from your hand. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
