Ezekiel 14
1 Uto k meni dođoše neki od starješina Izraelovih i sjedoše preda me.
And there came to me men of the people of Israel, of the elders, and sat before me.
2 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
3 “Sine čovječji! Ti ljudi nose kumire u srcu i upiru oči u ono što ih na grijeh potiče. Pa zar da trpim da u mene traže savjeta?
Son of man, these men have conceived their devices in their hearts, and have set before their faces the punishment of their iniquities: shall I indeed answer them?
4 Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Tko god iz doma Izraelova nosi u srcu kumire i upire oči u ono što ga na grijeh potiče, a dolazi k proroku, ja, Jahve, odgovorit ću mu prema mnoštvu njegovih kumira,
Therefore speak to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Any man of the house of Israel, who shall conceive his devices in his heart, and shall set the punishment of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him [according to the things] in which his mind is entangled,
5 da uhvatim za srce dom Izraelov koji se zbog idola svojih odmetnu od mene.'
that he should turn aside the house of Israel, according to their hearts that are estranged from me in their thoughts.
6 Zato reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Obratite se, odvratite se od kumira svojih! Odvratite lice od gnusoba svojih!
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, Be converted, and turn from your [evil] practices, and from all your sins, and turn your faces back again.
7 Jer tko se god iz doma Izraelova i od došljaka koji se nastaniše u Izraelu odmetne od mene i u srcu nosi kumire i upire oči u ono što ga potiče na grijeh, pa unatoč tome dođe k proroku da preko njega u mene traži savjeta, njemu ću ja, Jahve, sam odgovoriti;
For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him, [according to the things] wherein he is entangled.
8 okrenut ću se protiv njega i učinit ću od njega poslovičan primjer: iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 Ako li se prorok dadne zavesti i progovori, bilo bi to kao da sam ja, Jahve, zaveo toga proroka: ruku ću podići na njega i iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda izraelskoga.
And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out my hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 Obojica će podjednako snositi grijeh svoj: grijeh prorokov jednak je grijehu onoga koji je u njega tražio savjeta.
And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:
11 I tako se dom Izraelov više neće odmetati od mene i neće se više kaljati svojim opačinama: on će biti narod moj, a ja ću biti njegov Bog' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, and that they may no more defile themselves with any of their transgressions: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.
12 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
13 “Sine čovječji, zgriješi li koja zemlja protiv mene nevjerom i ja podignem ruku na nju te joj uništim i posljednju pričuvu kruha i pustim na nju glad da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku;
Son of man, if a land shall sin against me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast.
14 preostanu li u njoj samo tri čovjeka - Noa, Daniel i Job - ti će se svojom pravednošću spasiti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noe, and Daniel, and Job, they [alone] should be delivered by their righteousness, says the Lord.
15 Također, ako na tu zemlju pustim divlje zvijeri da joj djecu unište a nju pretvore u pustinju, kojom se zbog zvijeri više nitko neće usuditi proći;
If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it be ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts:
16 preostanu li u njoj samo ta tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe, a zemlja će njihova postati prava pustinja.
and [if] these three men should be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, neither sons nor daughters shall be saved, but these only shall be saved, and the land shall be destroyed.
17 Ili, ako ja trgnem mač na tu zemlju govoreći: 'Maču, prođi ovom zemljom!' da istrijebim u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast:
18 a u njoj se nađu samo ona tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe.
though these three men were in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, they shall not deliver sons or daughters, but they only shall be saved themselves.
19 Ili, ako ja pošaljem na tu zemlju kugu te izlijem na nju gnjev i pokolj da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
Or [if] again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast:
20 a u njoj preostanu samo ona tri čovjeka, Noa, Daniel i Job, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe svojom pravednošću.”
and should Noe, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, there shall be left [them] neither sons nor daughters; [only] they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.
21 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ipak, ako na Jeruzalem pustim sva svoja četiri ljuta biča - mač, glad, divlju zvjerad i kugu - da zatrem u njemu sve ljude i stoku,
Thus says the Lord, And if I even send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgments, sword, and famine, and evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it man and beast;
22 u njemu će ipak preživjeti Ostatak koji će spasiti sinove i kćeri. I evo, oni će doći k vama da vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela i da se utješite, jer ćete upoznati: što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema, ne učinih bez razloga.
yet, behold, [there shall be] men left in it, the escaped thereof, who [shall] lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they [shall] go forth to you, and you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] all the evils which I have brought upon it.
23 Da, kad vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela, utješit ćete se, jer ćete upoznati da ne učinih bez razloga što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
And they shall comfort you, because you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, says the Lord.
