Ezekiel 16

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

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

2 Sine čovječji! Pokaži Jeruzalemu sve gadosti njegove!

Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.

3 Reci: Ovako Jahve Gospod govori Jeruzalemu, nevjernici: 'Podrijetlom i rodom iz zemlje si kanaanske, otac ti Amorejac, mati Hetitkinja.

And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.

4 Kad si svijet ugledala, na dan rođenja tvojega pupka ti ne odrezaše niti te vodom opraše da te očiste; solju te ne osoliše niti te povojima poviše.

And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel wits not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.

5 Nijedno se oko na te ne sažali niti se tko smilova da ti to učini, nego te na dan rođenja tvojega gadnu baciše napolje.

No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.

6 A ja prođoh kraj tebe i vidjeh gdje se koprcaš u krvi. I rekoh ti dok si još u krvi bila: 'Živi!' U krvi ti tvojoj rekoh: 'Živi!

And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.

7 Razrasti se kao izdanak u polju!' I umnožih te, i ti se razraste i velika postade, i dođe vrijeme da sazreš. Dojke ti se raspupale, kosa ti narasla, ali si još gola i naga bila.

I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman’s ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.

8 Prođoh kraj tebe i u te se zagledah: i gle, dob tvoja - dob je ljubavi! Raširih na te skute svoje i pokrih ti golotinju. Prisegoh ti i sklopih Savez s tobom - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - i ti moja postade.

And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy. And I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.

9 Okupah te u vodi, krv saprah s tebe i uljem te pomazah.

And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.

10 Obukoh te u šarene haljine, na noge ti obuh sandale od fine kože; opasah te bezom i pokrih te prijevjesom svilenim.

And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shed thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.

11 Uresih te nakitima: na ruke ti stavih narukvice, oko vrata ogrlice;

I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.

12 prstenom ti nos uresih, uši naušnicama, a glavu ti ovjenčah vijencem najljepšim.

And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.

13 I tako se sva u srebru i zlatu pojavi, u haljini od beza, svilom izvezenoj. Za hranu ti dadoh najfinije brašno, med i ulje. Bila si tako lijepa, prelijepa, za kraljicu podobna!

And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine hour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen.

14 Glas o ljepoti tvojoj puče među narodima, jer ti bijaše tako lijepa u nakitu mojem što ga djenuh na tebe - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.

15 Ali te ljepota tvoja zanijela, zbog glasa se svojega bludu podade: blud si svoj nudila obilno svakom prolazniku, njegova si bila.

But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.

16 Od haljina si svojih šarene uzvišice pravila i na njima se bludu odavala ...

And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter.

17 I nakite uze zlatne i srebrne, kojima te ja bijah uresio, i od njih načini sebi muške likove da s njima bludničiš.

And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them.

18 Uze šarene, vezene haljine da njima odjeneš kumire svoje i njima si prinosila moje ulje i moj kad.

And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them.

19 A hranu što ti je dadoh - najfinije brašno, med i ulje kojima te hranjah - pred njih si stavljala na ugodan miris. Da, tako to bijaše - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God.

20 Sinove si svoje i kćeri uzimala koje meni porodi i njima ih za hranu klala. Malo ti bijaše tvoga bludničenja,

And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and best sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?

21 pa si čak i djecu moju davala da se njima na čast kroz oganj provedu!

Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.

22 U svim tim gnusobama i bludu svojemu ne spomenu se dana mladosti svoje, kad si se gola i naga u krvi svojoj koprcala.

And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood.

23 I povrh svega zla - Jao! Jao! riječ je Jahve Gospoda -

And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God)

24 sagradi sebi humke, posvud diže uzvišice.

That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.

25 Na svim raskršćima podiže uzvišice i na njima blatiš svoju ljepotu, nudiš se svakom prolazniku množeć' svoje bludničenje.

At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.

26 Bludu se podade sa sinovima Egipta, snažna tijela, bludničenje si množila da me razjariš.

And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.

27 Zato, evo, ruku digoh na te, smanjivši ti obrok hrane i predavši te bijesu tvojih mrziteljica, kćeri filistejskih, koje se stide sramotnoga tvojeg vladanja.

Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.

28 Tjerala si blud i sa sinovima Asira i nisi se zasitila; i s njima si blud tjerala, ali se nisi zasitila.

Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented.

29 Umnožila si bludničenje svoje i sa zemljom kanaanskom, sa zemljom kaldejskom, ali se ni onda nisi zasitila.

Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast then satisfied.

30 O, kako li slabo bijaše tvoje srce - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - kad činjaše ono što rade bludnice najrazvratnije.

Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute?

31 Na svim raskrsnicama humak sebi podiže, posvuda sagradi sebi uzvišice. Ali ne kao druge bludnice, jer si prezirala plaću bludničku,

Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,

32 nego kao preljubnica: mjesto muža, strance si primala.

But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband.

33 Svima se bludnicama plaća, a ti si sama ljubavnike svoje plaćala i još si ih u bludnosti svojoj darovima mamila da ti dođu odasvuda.

Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee.

34 Ti bijaše bludnica kakvih nema: nitko za tobom nije trčao da s tobom blud provodi, nego si sama davala plaću bludničku, a nisu je tebi plaćali. Toliko si bila opaka!

And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee.

35 Stoga, razvratnice, čuj riječ Jahvinu:

Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.

36 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Jer si svlačila svoju sramotu i u bludu golotinju otkrivala pred svima svojim ljubavnicima i gnusnim kumirima, i zbog krvi svojih sinova što si ih njima prinosila,

Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest them:

37 evo, skupit ću sve tvoje ljubavnike s kojima si se naslađivala, sve koje si voljela i koje si mrzila, skupit ću ih odasvud protiv tebe i razotkriti im tvoju golotinju, neka vide sramotu tvoju.

Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness.

38 Sudit ću ti kao što se sudi preljubnicama i krvnicama i predati te bijesu njihovu.

And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

39 Predat ću te u ruke njihove da poruše tvoje humke, da razore uzvišice tvoje. I zderat će sa tebe haljine, oteti nakit i ostaviti te golu, sasvim nagu.

And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.

40 A zatim će na te dovesti svjetinu da te kamenuje i da te sasiječe mačevima.

And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.

41 Kuće će ti ognjem spaliti i naočigled svim ženama izvršiti pravdu nad tobom. Tako ću dokrajčiti tvoje bludničenje, nećeš više davati plaću bludničku.

And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.

42 Iskalit ću gnjev svoj nad tobom i povući ću svoju ljubomoru od tebe. Smirit ću se i neću se više gnjeviti.

And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.

43 I jer se ne spomenu svoje mladosti, već me svim tim izazivaše, oborit ću ti na glavu sve postupke tvoje - riječ je Jahve Gospoda: nećeš više dodavati bestidnosti na sve svoje gadosti!

Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.

44 I sastavljač poslovica narugat će ti se poslovicom: 'Kakva mati, takva kći.'

Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.

45 Prava si kći svoje matere, koja ostavi muža i djecu; sestra si sestara svojih, koje ostaviše muževe svoje i djecu: Hetitkinja vam mati bijaše, otac Amorejac:

Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.

46 Samarija, sestra tvoja starija, sa svojim kćerima tebi slijeva stoji; Sodoma, tvoja mlađa sestra, sa kćerima svojim zdesna ti stoji.

And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.

47 A ti ne samo da si njihovim putem hodila i činila njihove gadosti - to bi tebi bilo premalo - već bijaše od njih pokvarenija na svojim putovima.

But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.

48 Života mi mojega - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - tvoja sestra Sodoma sa svojim kćerima ne učini što si ti počinila zajedno sa kćerima svojim.

As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.

49 Evo opačina sestre tvoje Sodome: gizdavo, u izobilju kruha i bezbrižno življaše ona i kćeri njezine, a sirotinju i bijednike ne pomagahu.

Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor.

50 Uzoholiše se i gadosti pred očima mojim činjahu, i zato ih zatrijeh, kao što vidje!

And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.

51 A sestra ti Samarija ne počini ni polovicu grijeha tvojih, i tako ti počini više gadosti nego one obje zajedno, opravdavši sestre svoje svojim gadostima.

And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.

52 Zato snosi sad sramotu grijeha kojima si sestre svoje opravdala; zbog grijeha kojima se više od njih nagrdi, one izađoše pravednije. Postidi se, dakle, i snosi sramotu svoju kojom sestre opravda.

Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.

53 A ja ću okrenuti udes njihov, udes Sodome i kćeri njenih, udes Samarije i kćeri njenih; i tvoj ću udes okrenuti među njima,

And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.

54 da snosiš sramotu svoju i da se postidiš za sve što si počinila, njima na utjehu.

That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.

55 Sestra tvoja Sodoma i kćeri njene vratit će se u stanje prijašnje; sestra tvoja Samarija i kćeri njene vratit će se u stanje prijašnje; ali i ti i kćeri tvoje vratit ćete se u stanje prijašnje.

And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.

56 Zar se nije spominjala sestra tvoja Sodoma dok ti bijaše ponosita,

And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,

57 prije negoli se golotinja tvoja otkrila? Budi sada za ruglo kćerima edomskim, susjedama njenim i kćerima filistejskim koje ti se sa svih strana rugaju.

Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.

58 Snosi, dakle, svoju sramotu i svoje gadosti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!'

Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.

59 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Postupit ću s tobom onako kako ti učini kad pogazi zakletvu i raskinu Savez.

For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:

60 Ali ću se ja ipak spomenuti svojega Saveza s tobom što ga sklopih u dane mladosti tvoje i uspostavit ću s tobom Savez vječan.

And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.

61 I ti ćeš se opomenuti svojih putova i postidjet ćeš se kad primiš svoje sestre, stariju i mlađu, koje ću ti dati za kćeri, ali ne snagom tvog Saveza.

And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

62 Sklopit ću s tobom savez svoj i znat ćeš da sam ja Jahve,

And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,

63 da se opomeneš i da se postidiš i da od sramote više ne otvoriš usta kad ti oprostim sve što učini! To je riječ Jahve Gospoda.'”

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
