Ezekiel 21
1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice prema Jeruzalemu i prospi besjedu protiv njegova Svetišta i prorokuj protiv zemlje Izraelove.
Therefore prophesy, son of man, set your face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and you shall prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 Reci zemlji Izraelovoj: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo me na te! Trgnut ću mač iz korica, istrijebit ću iz tebe sve - i pravedna i bezbožna!
and you shall say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of you the transgressor and unrighteous.
4 Da iz tebe istrijebim pravedna i bezbožna, trgnut ću evo mač iz korica na svako tijelo, od sjevera do juga.
Because I will destroy out of you the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
5 I svako će tijelo spoznati da sam ja, Jahve, isukao mač svoj iz korica i da ga više neću u njih vratiti!
and all flesh shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 A ti, sine čovječji, kukaj kao da su ti sva rebra polomljena, kukaj gorko, njima na oči!
And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of your loins; you shall even groan heavily in their sight.
7 Ako li te zapitaju: 'Što toliko kukaš?' reci im: 'Zbog vijesti koja stiže, od koje će sva srca zamrijeti i sve ruke klonuti, svaki duh biti utučen i svako koljeno klecati. Evo, dolazi, već je tu!' Tako govori Jahve Gospod.”
And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Therefore do you groan? that you shall say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, says the Lord.
8 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “Sine čovječji, prorokuj! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod. Reci: 'Mač! Mač! Naoštren i osvjetlan!
Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,
10 Za klanje naoštren, osvjetlan da sijeva.
that you may kill victims; be sharpened that you may be bright, ready for slaughter, kill, set at nothing, despise every tree.
11 Osvjetlan da ga ruka prihvati, mač naoštren, osvjetlan da se stavi u ruke ubojici.
And he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.
12 A ti, sine čovječji, plači, nariči! Jer, evo, mač je već na narod moj isukan, mač na izraelske knezove: svi su oni s mojim narodom maču izručeni! Udri se stoga u slabine!'
Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgment] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap your hands, for sentence has been passed:
13 Dođe kušnja, i odbačenoga žezla više biti neće - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, says the Lord God.
14 A ti, sine čovječji, prorokuj i rukama plješći. Neka se udvostruči, neka se utrostruči taj mač pokolja, mač pokolja golema što ih odasvud okružuje.
And you, son of man, prophesy, and clap your hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and you shall strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint
15 Da zadršću srca, da bude žrtava nebrojenih, na svaka sam vrata postavio mač, pripravljen da k'o munja sijeva, za pokolje naoštren.
and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate—they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.
16 Natrag! Desno! Naprijed! Lijevo!
And do you go on, sharpen yourself on the right and on the left wherever your face may set itself.
17 I ja ću pljeskati rukama, iskaliti gnjev svoj na njima! Ja, Jahve, rekoh!”
And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [it].
18 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
19 “Sine čovječji, zacrtaj dva puta kuda da pođe mač kralja babilonskoga. Neka oba puta izlaze iz iste zemlje! Na raskršću puta ka gradu stavi putokaz.
and you, son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, you shall set [it] at the top of the way,
20 Zacrtaj maču put da dođe u Rabat Bene Amon i u Judeju, u utvrđeni Jeruzalem.
that the sword may enter in upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.
21 Jer kralj babilonski stoji na početku puta, na raspuću dvaju putova, i pita znamenja - miješa strijele, ispituje terafime i motri jetru.
For the king of Babylon shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims].
22 Znamenja mu u desnici kažu: na Jeruzalem; da ondje namjesti zidodere, da naredi pokolj, da podigne zidodere protiv vrata, da naspe nasip i sagradi opsadne kule.
On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts.
23 Ali će se njima učiniti da je znamenje lažno, jer mu se zakleše na vjernost. Ali će ih on tada podsjetiti na njihovo vjerolomstvo u koje se uloviše.
And he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind.
24 Zato, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer bez prestanka podsjećate na svoja bezakonja otkrivajući opačine i pokazujući grijehe u svim svojim djelima - da, jer bez prestanka na njih podsjećate, u njih ćete se uloviti.
Therefore thus says the Lord, Because you have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because you have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall you be taken.
25 A tebi, nečasni i bezbožnički kneže izraelski, tebi dođe dan i čas posljednjega zločina.'
And you profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] an end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus says the Lord;
26 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Skini mitru s glave i odloži kraljevski vijenac! Jer sve se mijenja: tko bi dolje, bit će uzvišen, a tko bi gore, bit će ponižen.
You have taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: you have abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low.
27 Ruševine, ruševine, ruševine ću postaviti kakvih nije bilo, dok ne dođe onaj koji ima suditi, jer ja ću mu predati sud.'
Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him.
28 Sine čovječji, prorokuj: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod sinovima Amonovim o njihovoj sramoti. Reci: 'Mač! Mač za pokolj isukan i naoštren da siječe, da kao munja sijeva,
And you, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and you shall say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that you may gleam.
29 a tebi dotle isprazno viđaju, laž proriču - da se stavi pod vrat zlikovcima zloglasnim, kojima, eto, dođe dan i čas posljednjega zločina!
While you are seeing vain [visions], and while you are prophesying falsehoods, to bring yourself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity.
30 Ali vrati mač u korice! U mjestu gdje si nastao i u zemlji gdje si se rodio ja ću ti suditi.
Turn, rest not in this place wherein you were born: in your own land will I judge you.
31 Ondje ću na te gnjev svoj izliti i raspiriti protiv tebe plamen srdžbe svoje i predati te u ruke okrutnim ljudima, vještim zatornicima.
And I will pour out my wrath upon you, I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of barbarians skilled in working destruction.
32 I bit ćeš hrana ognju, a krv će tvoja zemljom protjecati. I nitko te živ više neće spominjati! Jer ja, Jahve, tako rekoh.'”
You shall be fuel for fire; your blood shall be in the midst of your land; there shall be no remembrance at all of you: for I the Lord have spoken [it].
