Ezekiel 20
1 Godine sedme, petoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođoše k meni neke od starješina izraelskih da se s Jahvom svjetuju. Posjedaše preda me.
And it cometh to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], in the tenth of the month, come in have certain of the elders of Israel to seek Jehovah, and they sit before me;
2 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
and there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
3 “Sine čovječji! Govori starješinama Izraelovim! Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Došli ste me pitati za savjet? Života mi moga, nećete me pitati!' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
'Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To seek Me are ye coming in? I live — I am not sought by you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
4 Hoćeš li im suditi, hoćeš li suditi, sine čovječji? Pokaži im gadosti otaca njihovih.
Dost thou judge them? Dost thou judge, son of man? The abominations of their fathers cause them to know,
5 Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Onoga dana kad izabrah Izraela i ruku stavih na potomstvo doma Jakovljeva te im se objavih u zemlji egipatskoj, zakleh im se: Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!
and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] Jehovah your God.
6 Toga im se dana rukom podignutom zakleh da ću ih izvesti iz zemlje egipatske u zemlju koju za njih izabrah, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu.
In that day I did lift up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, Unto a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,
7 I rekoh im: Odbacite od sebe sve gadosti što vam oči privlače i ne kaljajte se kumirima egipatskim jer - ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!'
And I say unto them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And with the idols of Egypt be not defiled, I [am] Jehovah your God.
8 Ali se oni odvrgoše od mene i ne htjedoše me poslušati: nijedan ne odbaci gadosti koje mu oči zaniješe i ne okani se kumira egipatskih. Tad odlučih izliti gnjev svoj na njih i iskaliti srdžbu na njima u zemlji egipatskoj.
And — they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken, And I say — to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 Ali radi imena svojega - da se ne kalja na oči naroda među kojima obitavahu i pred kojima im bijah objavio da ću ih izvesti -
And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from the land of Egypt.
10 izvedoh ih iz zemlje egipatske i odvedoh ih u pustinju;
And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them in unto the wilderness,
11 i dadoh im svoje uredbe i objavih svoje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio;
And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth — liveth by them.
12 dadoh im i svoje subote, kao znak između sebe i njih, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve koji ih posvećujem.
And also My sabbaths I have given to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] Jehovah their sanctifier.
13 Ali se i u pustinji dom Izraelov odmetnu od mene: nisu hodili po mojim uredbama; odbaciše moje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio; subote moje oskvrnjivahu. I zato odlučih u pustinji gnjev svoj na njih izliti da ih zatrem.
And — rebel against me do the house of Israel in the wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 Ali ni toga ne učinih radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.
And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.
15 Ali im se zakleh u pustinji da ih neću uvesti u zemlju koju sam im bio dao, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu,
And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,
16 jer odbaciše moje zakone, i ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i subote moje oskvrnjivahu, a srce im iđaše za njihovim kumirima.
Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.
17 Oči se moje ipak sažališe da ih ne zatrem. I tako ih u pustinji ne uništih,
And Mine eye hath pity on them — against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.
18 nego rekoh sinovima njihovim u pustinji: 'Ne hodite po uredbama svojih otaca, ne čuvajte zakona njihovih i ne kaljajte se kumirima njihovim!
And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled.
19 Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš! Po uredbama mojim hodite, čuvajte i vršite moje zakone
I [am] Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,
20 i svetkujte moje subote, neka one budu znak između mene i vas, kako bi se znalo da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš!'
And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God.
21 Ali se i sinovi odmetnuše od mene: po mojim uredbama nisu hodili i nisu čuvali ni vršili mojih zakona, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio, a subote su moje oskvrnjivali. I zato odlučih gnjev svoj izliti i iskaliti srdžbu svoju na njima u pustinji.
And — the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed — to do them, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Ali opet ruku svoju sustegoh radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.
And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.
23 No zakleh se u pustinji da ću ih raspršiti među narode i rasijati po zemljama,
I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.
24 jer nisu vršili mojih zakona i jer prezreše moje uredbe i jer subote moje oskvrnjivahu i oči upirahu u kumire svojih otaca.
Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been.
25 I zato im dadoh uredbe koje ne bijahu dobre, zakone koji usmrćuju:
And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live.
26 da se oskvrnjuju svojim prinosima, provodeći kroz oganj svoju prvorođenčad. Htjedoh tako da ih zastrašim, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve.
And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] Jehovah.
27 Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! I ovim me oci vaši još uvrijediše: nevjerom mi se iznevjeriše!
Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Still in this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against Me a trespass.
28 Kad ih uvedoh u zemlju koju im se zakleh dati, gdje god bi ugledali povišen brežuljak ili stablo krošnjato, prinosili bi žrtve, donosili izazovne prinose, metali mirise ugodne, nalijevali ljevanice.
And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give there the provocation of their offering, And make there their sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations.
29 Upitah ih: što li znači ta uzvišica na koju se penjete?' I tako osta ime 'bama', uzvišica, do dana današnjega.
And I say unto them: What [is] the high place whither ye are going in? And its name is called 'high place' to this day.
30 Zato reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ne kaljate li se i vi kao oci vaši, ne provodite li i vi blud s gadostima njihovim?
Therefore, say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the way of your fathers are ye defiled? And after their detestable things go a-whoring?
31 Kaljate se prinoseći im darove, provodeći kroz oganj svoje sinove u čast svim kumirima svojim sve do dana današnjega. I da me onda za savjet pitaš, dome Izraelov! Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nećete me za savjet pitati!
And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, Ye are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel! I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I am not sought by you.
32 I neće se zbiti o čemu sanjate kad govorite: 'Bit ćemo kao drugi narodi, kao narodi ostalih zemalja što služe drveću i kamenju.'
And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all — in that ye are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve wood and stone.
33 Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - vladat ću vama rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svoj žestini svoje jarosti.
I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Do not I, with a strong hand, And with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out — rule over you?
34 Izvest ću vas iz naroda, skupiti vas iz svih zemalja u koje bijaste raspršeni rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svem plamu jarosti moje!
And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, With a strong hand and with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out.
35 Odvest ću vas u pustinju naroda i ondje vam licem u lice suditi!
And I have brought you in unto the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face.
36 Kao što sudih ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje egipatske, i vama ću suditi - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!
As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
37 Provest ću vas ispod štapa svojega, podvrći vas brojenju:
And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,
38 razlučit ću između vas sve koji se pobuniše i odvrgoše od mene: izvest ću ih iz zemlje u kojoj kao došljaci borave, ali - u zemlju Izraelovu nikad ući neće! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'
And cleared out from you the rebels, And them transgressing against Me, From the land of their sojournings I bring them out, And unto the land of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
39 'A vi, dome Izraelov' - ovako govori Jahve Gospod - 'samo idite i dalje služite svaki svom kumiru! Jednom ćete, kunem vas se, poslušati i nećete više kaljati moje sveto ime svojim prinosima i kumirima:
And ye, O house of Israel, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Each his idols — go — serve ye, And, afterwards, if ye are not hearkening to me, And My holy name ye do not pollute any more by your gifts, and by your idols.
40 na Svetoj gori mojoj, na visokoj gori Izraelovoj - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - služit će mi sav dom Izraelov, u svojoj zemlji. Ondje će mi oni omiljeti i ondje ću iskati vaše podizanice i prinose vaših prvina sa svim svetinjama.
For, in My holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, There serve Me do all the house of Israel, All of it, in the land — there I accept them, And there I do seek your heave-offerings, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things.
41 Omiljet ćete mi kao miris ugodan kad vas izvedem iz narodÄa i skupim iz zemalja u kojima bjeste rasijani. I na vama ću očitovati svetost svoju naočigled svih naroda.
With sweet fragrance I do accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.
42 Tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve, kada vas dovedem u zemlju Izraelovu, u zemlju koju se zakleh dati očevima vašim.
And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, Unto the land that I did lift up My hand To give it to your fathers,
43 Ondje ćete se spomenuti svih svojih putova i nedjela kojima se okaljaste: sami ćete sebi omrznuti zbog nedjela što ih počiniste.
And ye have remembered there your ways, And all your doings, In which ye have been defiled, And ye have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that ye have done.
44 I tada ćete spoznati da sam ja Jahve kad, radi imena svojega, ne postupim s vama po zloći vaših putova ni po vašim pokvarenim djelima, dome Izraelov! Tako govori Jahve Gospod!'”
And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My dealing with you for My name's sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
45 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
46 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice k jugu i prospi besjedu prema jugu te prorokuj protiv šume u kraju negepskom.
Son of man, set thy face the way of Teman, and prophesy unto the south, and prophesy unto the forest of the field — the south;
47 Reci šumi negepskoj: 'Poslušaj riječ Jahvinu! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, zapalit ću usred tebe oganj i on će proždrijeti u tebi svako drvo, zeleno i suho! Razgorjeli se oganj neće utrnuti dok sve ne izgori od sjevera do juga.
and thou hast said to the forest of the south: Hear a word of Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am kindling in thee a fire, And it hath devoured in thee every moist tree, and every dry tree, Not quenched is the glowing flames, And burnt by it have been all faces from south to north.
48 I svi će vidjeti da sam ja, Jahve, zapalio taj oganj i neće se ugasiti.'”
And seen have all flesh, that I, Jehovah, have kindled it — it is not quenched.'
49 Rekoh na to: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, tÓa oni će za mene reći: 'Evo opet pričalice s pričama!'”
And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, They are saying of me, Is he not using similes?
