Ezekiel 22
1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, hoćeš li suditi, hoćeš li suditi gradu krvničkom? Pokaži mu sve gnusobe njegove!
“You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 Reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Grade što u sebi krv toliku prolijevaš i što svuda sebi kumire praviš da se okaljaš, kucnu čas tvoj:
You shall say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
4 krvlju što je proli ti sagriješi i kumirima koje napravi ti se okalja, skrativši tako dane svoje i ubrzavši svoje godine. I zato ću te sada učiniti sramotom među narodima, ruglom po svim zemljama.
You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 I koji su ti blizu i koji su ti daleko, podrugivat će se tebi: 'O sramotno ime, grade pokvareni!'
Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
6 Eto, knezovi izraelski - svaki na svoju ruku - u tebi krv prolijevaju.
“‘“Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
7 I u tebi se više ne poštuje ni otac ni majka, došljake tlače, siročad i udovice u tebi zlostavljaju!
In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Amongst you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 Svetinje moje prezireš, subote oskvrnjuješ.
You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9 U tebi su klevetnici zbog kojih se krv prolijeva; u tebi se po gorama blaguje, posred tebe čine sramote.
Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness amongst you.
10 U tebi se raskriva sramota očeva, u tebi siluju žene dok su nečiste.
In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 Jedan čini gadost sa ženom susjeda svoga, drugi djelom sramotnim oskvrnjuje snahu svoju, a treći u tebi siluje sestru, kćerku oca svoga.
One has committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12 Ima ih koji i mito primaju da krv proliju. Uzimaš ujam i pridatak, od bližnjega silom otimaš, a mene zaboravljaš - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbours by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord GOD.
13 Zato, evo, ja rukama plješćem nad plijenom što ga ti napljačka i nad krvlju što se lije u tebi.
“‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
14 Jer, hoće li srce tvoje izdržati i hoće li ruke tvoje odoljeti u dane kad ja na te ustanem? Ja, Jahve, rekoh i učinit ću!
Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Zato ću te raspršiti među narode, rasijat' te po zemljama, da uklonim iz tebe svu nečistoću!
I will scatter you amongst the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
16 I bit ćeš opet moja baština naočigled naroda. I znat ćeš da sam ja Jahve!'”
You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
17 Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18 “Sine čovječji, dom Izraelov troska mi postade: bakar, srebro, kositar, željezo i olovo u peći - svi su oni troska!
“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
19 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer mi troska postadoste, skupit ću vas, evo, u Jeruzalemu.
Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
20 Kao što se skuplja srebro, bakar, željezo, olovo i kositar u peći te se okolo oganj potpiri da se sve rastali, tako ću i ja vas skupiti u svojem gnjevu i u svojoj jarosti, složiti vas i rastaliti.
As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.
21 Jest, skupit ću vas i potpiriti oko vas oganj svoje jarosti da se usred grada rastalite.
Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it.
22 Kao što se srebro u peći topi, tako ćete se i vi u njemu rastopiti. I znat ćete da ja, Jahve, gnjev svoj na vas izlijevam!'”
As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
23 Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 “Sine čovječji, reci još: 'Ti si zemlja još neočišćena, koju još ne opra kiša dana jarosnoga!
“Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on in the day of indignation.’
25 Knezovi njezini, poput lavova što riču i plijen razdiru, ljude proždiru, otimlju im blago i dragocjenosti, množeći udovice usred nje.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
26 Svećenici njezini ne poštuju mog Zakona i oskvrnjuju moje svetinje, ne razlikujući sveto od nesvetoga, ne učeći se lučiti nečisto od čistoga. Zanemarili su subote moje, bez časti sam u njihovoj sredini.
Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned amongst them.
27 Starješine njezine, poput vukova što plijen razdiru i krv prolijevaju, upropašćuju ljude, lakomi na dobitak.
Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 A proroci njezini sve to premazuju bjelilom i prekrivaju ispraznim viđenjima i lažnim proricanjima zboreći: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod!' - a Jahve to ne reče.
Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
29 Imućnici pak čine svakojaka nasilja i otimačine, siromaha i bijednika ugnjetavaju, a došljaka bespravno tlače.
The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
30 Tražio sam među njima nekoga da podigne zidine i stane na proboje preda me u obranu zemlje, da je ne zatrem, i ne nađoh nikoga.
“I sought for a man amongst them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
31 I zato izlih na njih gnjev svoj pa ih zatrijeh ognjem svoje jarosti; putove im njihove na glavu oborih' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord GOD.
