Ezekiel 23
1 Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, bile dvije žene, kćeri jedne matere.
“Son of man, there were once two women. They were daughters of the same mother.
3 I odaše se bludu u Egiptu, blud činiše u mladosti: ondje su im grudi stiskali, djevojačke dojke gnječili.
They became prostitutes in Egypt. In fact, they were prostitutes from the time they were young. They allowed their virgin breasts to be fondled and their nipples squeezed.
4 Starijoj bijaše ime Ohola, a sestri joj Oholiba. Obje moje postadoše i rodiše mi sinove i kćeri. Evo im imenÄa: Samarija je Ohola, Jeruzalem Oholiba.
The older girl was called Oholah, and her sister Oholibah. I married them both and they had sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 Ohola, iako meni pripadaše, bludu se odala; uspalila se za ljubavnicima, za Asircima, susjedima svojim,
Oholah prostituted herself while she was still married to me. She wanted to have sex with her lovers, the Assyrians.
6 u modri baršun odjevenima, sve samim vojvodama i namjesnicima, pristalim momcima, vještim konjanicima.
They were soldiers dressed in blue, leaders and commanders, all of them handsome young men in the cavalry.
7 I oda se bludu s njima, sve poizbor sinovima asirskim; i usplamtjev za njima, okalja se svim njihovim kumirima.
She gave away herself sexually to all the important men of Assyria. She made herself unclean by her worship of all the idols of those men she wanted to have sex with.
8 A ne okani se ni bluda s Egipćanima, koji s njome ležahu od njezine mladosti, koji su joj djevojačke dojke gnječili i na nju blud svoj izlijevali.
She didn't stop her prostitution that she started in Egypt—men sleeping with her when she was young, squeezing her virgin breasts and using her to satisfy their sexual appetite.
9 I zato je predah u ruke njenim ljubavnicima, u ruke Asircima za kojima se uspalila.
So I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians she wanted to have sex with.
10 I oni je razgoliše, zarobiše joj sinove i kćeri, a nju samu mačem pogubiše. I postade tako primjer svim ženama kako na njoj bi sud izvršen.
They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became infamous among women, and they punished her.
11 Vidje to sestra joj Oholiba, ali se još gore uspali i gori blud činjaše.
Oholibah saw what happened to her sister, but she became even worse than her in her wanting sex and practicing prostitution.
12 Za sinovima se asirskim uspaljivala, sve samim vojvodama i namjesnicima, svojim susjedima, raskošno odjevenim, vještim konjanicima, poizbor momcima.
She also wanted to have sex with the Assyrians: their leaders and commanders, their splendidly-dressed soldiers—all of them handsome young men in the cavalry.
13 I vidjeh kako se okaljala: obje su istim putem pošle.
I saw that she had also made herself unclean—both sisters were doing the same thing.
14 Ali se ova još gore bludu odala: kad bi ugledala muškarca na zidu naslikana, likove Kaldejaca crvenilom nacrtane,
However, Oholibah's prostitution was even worse. She saw pictures of Babylonian soldiers wearing bright red uniforms painted on the wall.
15 bedara pasom opasanih, sa spuštenim povezima na glavama - sve junake, prave Babilonce, rodom iz zemlje kaldejske -
They were wearing belts on their waists and large turbans on their heads. They all looked like Babylonian officers in Chaldea, the country where they were born.
16 tek što bi ugledala priliku njihovu, sva bi se za njima uspalila te im slala poslanike u zemlju kaldejsku.
When she saw the paintings of them, she wanted to have sex with them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17 Sinovi babilonski k njoj bi dohrlili na ljubavnu postelju da je bludom kaljaju. A kad bi se s njima okaljala, zgadili bi joj se.
The Babylonians came to her and her love bed, and made her unclean with their sexual desire. However, after she had been dishonored by them, she rejected them in disgust.
18 Ali se razglasilo njezino bludništvo, otkrila se njena golotinja, i duša se moja od nje odvratila, kao što se bješe odvratila od sestre njene.
When Oholibah so blatantly prostituted herself, exposing herself naked, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had done to her sister.
19 Jer ona se još gorem bludu predala, opominjući se dana svoje mladosti kad se u Egiptu bludu odavala,
But she practiced even more prostitution, remembering how she'd been a prostitute in Egypt when she was young.
20 uspaljujući se za razvratnicima kojima muška snaga bijaše kao u magaraca, a izljev kao u pastuha.
She wanted to have sex with her lovers who had genitals like donkeys and who ejaculated like stallions.
21 Tako se opet vrati sramoti svoje mladosti, kad su joj u Egiptu grudi pritiskivali, djevičanske dojke gnječili.
You went back to the indecent acts when you were young, when the Egyptians squeezed your nipples and fondled your young breasts.
22 Zato, Oholibo, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, dignut ću na te tvoje ljubavnike, koji ti se duši ogadiše, i dovest ću ih odasvud na tebe:
So Oholibah, this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to encourage your lovers to attack you, those you rejected in disgust. I will bring them to attack you from every direction:
23 Babilonce, sve Kaldejce, Pekođane, Šoance i Koance, a s njima sve sinove asirske - sve poizbor momke, vojvode i namjesnike, na glasu junake, vješte konjanike.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians along with them—all handsome young men, leaders and commanders, chariot captains and important officers, all riding horses.
24 I doći će na te sa sjevera sila bojnih kola i točkova s mnoštvom naroda i svrstat' se odasvud protiv tebe sa štitovima, štitićima i oklopima. Njima ću te na sud predati, i svojim će ti sudom suditi.
They will attack you from the north, invading with a great army, chariots, and wagons. They will come with their shields and helmets and surround you. I will hand you over to them for punishment, and they will judge and punish you following their own laws.
25 Oborit ću na te svu svoju ljubomoru, neka s tobom jarosno postupe: nos i uši neka ti odsijeku, a ostatak tvoj da od mača padne; sinove i kćeri da ti odvedu, a ostatak tvoj da oganj proguta.
I feel so strongly about what you've done that I will oppose you, and they will treat you very badly. They will cut off your noses and ears, and they will kill those of you who are left. They will take away your sons and daughters as prisoners, and those of you who are left will be destroyed by fire.
26 I zderat će s tebe tvoje haljine i oteti sve tvoje nakite.
They will tear off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry.
27 Tako ću okončati svu tvoju sramotu i bludničenje, sve tamo od Egipta: nećeš više k njima oči dizati i nećeš se više spominjati Egipta!'
I'm going to put a stop to your immorality and prostitution, which started in Egypt. You won't think longingly about those times, and you'll forget all about Egypt.
28 Jer, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me! Predat ću te u ruke onima koji ti omrznuše, koji ti se duši ogadiše.
For this is what the Lord God says: Believe it when I say that I'm going to hand you over to the people you hate, the ones you rejected in disgust.
29 Neka iskale na tebi svoju mržnju, neka ti svu muku preotmu, a tebe nek' ostave golu i nagu! Neka se obnaži sva golotinja tvoje bludnosti i besramnosti, tvojeg bludničenja.
They will treat you with hatred. They will take away everything you've worked for, leaving you stark naked with nothing, so that so that the indecent acts of your prostitution will be exposed. Your immorality and prostitution
30 Sve će te to stići zbog tvojeg bludničenja s narodima i jer si se okaljala njihovim kumirima.
is why all this has happened to you, because you acted as a prostitute with the nations and made yourself unclean by worshiping their idols.
31 Putem si sestre svoje hodila: dat ću ti u ruku čašu njezinu:
Because you did what your sister did, I will give you her cup to drink.
32 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Čašu sestre svoje ispit ćeš, čašu široku, duboku, i bit ćeš na podsmijeh i ruglo - mnogo u nju stane! -
This is what the Lord God says: You will drink from your sister's cup—a large, deep cup. You will be laughed at and insulted. You'll have to endure much of this.
33 napunit ćeš se pijanstva i žalosti! Čaša je to pustošenja, užasa - čaša sestre tvoje Samarije.
It will make you drunk and full of grief because it's a cup of that brings horror and destruction, the cup your sister Samaria drank from.
34 Pit ćeš je, do dna iskapiti, zatim u komade razbiti, grudi svoje izraniti. Jer, ja tako rekoh' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!
You will drink it all down, smash it to pieces on the ground, and tear at your breasts. This is what I have spoken, declares the Lord God.
35 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer ti mene zaboravi i leđa mi okrenu, snosi sada svu svoju sramotu i bestidnost!'”
In summary this is what the Lord God says: Because you have forgotten about me and have ignored me, you will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and prostitution.”
36 I još mi reče Jahve: “Sine čovječji, hoćeš li suditi Oholi i Oholibi, pokazati im njihove gadosti?
Then the Lord said to me: “Son of man, are you going to condemn Oholah and Oholibah? Expose the disgusting things they've done!
37 Preljub počiniše, ruke su im okrvavljene, s kumirima svojim preljub učiniše, djecu koju mi porodiše provedoše kroz oganj da ih proguta.
For they have committed adultery, and they are guilty of murder. They have committed adultery with their idols, and have even offered their children, whom they had for me, as sacrifices to their idols.
38 Još mi i ovo učiniše: onoga dana obeščastiše moje Svetište i subote moje oskvrnuše.
They also did this to me: On the very same day they both made my sanctuary unclean and violated my Sabbaths.
39 Jer istoga dana kad djecu svoju kumirima klaše, u Svetište moje dođoše da ga obeščaste. Eto, tako uradiše usred Doma mojega.
On very day that they killed their children for their idols, they went my sanctuary and made it unclean. Look at what they did right inside my Temple!
40 Slale su čak po muškarce izdaleka, i oni bi im pohrlili čim bi glasnici k njima stigli. A ti se za njih kupala, oči svoje mazala i nakitom se kitila.
They even kept on sending messengers for men to come from far away. When the men arrived, you would get yourselves ready for them by bathing, doing your eye makeup, and putting in your jewelry.
41 A potom bi sjedala na raskošnu postelju pred kojom stol prostrt bijaše na koji si stavljala moj tamjan i moje ulje.
You sat on an expensive couch, with my incense and my oil on a table placed in front of it.
42 Tu se čulo pocikivanje bezbrižnog društva zbog velikog mnoštva dovedena sa svih strana pustinje; stavljali su ženama na ruke narukvice i na glavu vijence prekrasne.
The room was full of the noise of people partying. Drunk men were brought in from the desert along with some common people and they put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
43 I rekoh: 'Sa ženom ogrezlom u preljubu još blud tjeraju, i sama se ona još bludu odaje!'
Then I said about the old worn-out woman, ‘Now they can have her as a prostitute because that's what she is!’
44 Prilaze joj kao kakvoj bludnici! Da, prilazili su k Oholi i Oholibi, pokvarenicama.
So they had sex with her like a prostitute. They had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those immoral women.
45 Zato će im pravednici suditi kao što se sudi preljubnicama i onima koji krv prolijevaju, jer - one su preljubnice, ruke su im okrvavljene.
But men who believe in what's right will judge them and impose the punishment for committing commit adultery and murder, because they are adulterers and murderers.
46 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Neka se protiv njih zbor sazove da ih izvrgnem zlostavljanju i pljački.
This is what the Lord God says: Have a mob attack them! Make them terrified and rob them.
47 Zbor neka ih kamenuje i mačevima raskomada; sinove i kćeri neka im pokolje, a domove ognjem spali.
The mob will stone them and kill them with their swords, slaughtering their sons and daughters and burning down their houses.
48 Tako ću iz zemlje istrijebiti sramotu, da se druge žene opomenu i ne čine djela vaših sramotnih.
This is how I will put an end to immorality in the country, and all the women will be warned not to do what you have done.
49 A na vas ću oboriti svu vašu bestidnost, ispaštat ćete grijehe idolopoklonstva. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve Gospod.'”
They will punish you for your immorality, and you will have to experience the consequences of your idol worship. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.”
