Ezekiel 24
1 Godine devete, devetoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, zapiši ovaj dan: upravo danas kralj babilonski zaposjede Jeruzalem.
Son of man, write for thyself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.
3 Pripovijedaj domu odmetničkom prispodobu. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Pristavi lonac, pristavi i nalij vode u nj!
And speak a parable to the provoking house, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Set on the caldron, and pour water into it:
4 Baci u nj komade, sve najbolje komade mesa, but i pleće! Napuni ga ponajboljim kostima!
and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,
5 Uzmi najbolje od stada. Pod loncem vatru naloži. Neka dobro uzavri, neka se u njemu skuhaju i kosti.'
[which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.
6 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkom, zahrđalu loncu s kojega se hrđa ne skida! A zatim komad po komad iz njega izvadi, ali za nj ne bacaj kÓockÄe!
Therefore thus saith the Lord; O bloody city, the caldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it.
7 Jer krv je njegova u njemu - na golu je kamenu ostavi, po zemlji je ne razlij gdje bi je prašina mogla prekriti!
For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;
8 Da se gnjev moj raspali, da mu odmazdim, ostavih krv njegovu na kamenu golom, da se ne pokrije.'
that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.
9 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkome, jer ću veliku lomaču naložiti!
Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,
10 Skupi drva, vatru potpali, skuhaj meso, primiješaj začina, nek' izgore i kosti!
and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;
11 A zatim ga prazna na žeravicu pristavi da mjed mu se usija i nečistoća njegova sva se rastopi, da se uništi hrđa na njemu!
and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed,
12 Grdne li muke! Ali se velika hrđa ne dade s njega skinuti: i vatri odolje.
and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.
13 Sramotan je grijeh tvoj: htjedoh te očistiti, ali se ti ne htjede od grijeha očistiti; i zbog toga se više nećeš očistiti dok nad tobom ne iskalim gnjev svoj!
Her scum shall become shameful, because thou didst defile thyself: and what if thou shalt be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?
14 Ja, Jahve, rekoh! I riječ ću ispuniti; neću popustiti: I neću se smilovati niti ću se pokajati! Sudit ću te po putovima tvojim i po djelima tvojim! - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge thee, saith the Lord, according to thy ways, and according to thy devices: therefore will I judge thee according to thy bloodshed, and according to thy devices will I judge thee, thou unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.
15 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “Sine čovječji, evo, nenadanom smrću oduzet ću ti radost očinju! Ne tuguj, ne plači i ne roni suza!
Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thine eyes by violence: thou shalt not lament, neither shalt thou weep.
17 Jecaj tiho, ali ne žali kao što se za mrtvima žali! I povij oko glave povez, a na noge obuj sandale. Ne prekrivaj brade i ne jedi žalobničke pogače.”
Thou shalt groan for blood, and have mourning upon thy loins; thy hair shall not be braided upon thee, and thy sandals [shall be] on thy feet; thou shalt in no wise be comforted by their lips, and thou shalt not eat the bread of men.
18 Ujutro tako prorokovah narodu, a uveče mi žena umrije te sutradan uradih kao što mi bijaše zapovjeđeno.
And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.
19 Narod me na to zapita: “Nećeš li nam reći što znači za nas to što ti radiš?”
And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are that thou doest?
20 Ja im odgovorih: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, oskvrnut ću svoje Svetište, vaš ponos snažni, radost vam očinju i čežnju duše vaše! I sinovi i kćeri koje ostaviste, od mača će pasti!
Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom ye have left, shall fall by the sword.
22 Tada ćete uraditi kao što i ja uradih: nećete prekrivati brade i nećete jesti žalobničke pogače!
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not be comforted at their mouth, and ye shall not eat the bread of men.
23 Povit ćete povez oko glave i obuti na noge sandale! I nećete više tugovati ni plakati, nego ćete čiljeti zbog svojih nedjela i jecati jedan za drugim!
And your hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall ye at all lament or weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.
24 A Ezekiel će vam biti primjer: učinit ćete sve što je i on činio. Kad se to zbude, spoznat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'
And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall ye do, when these things shall come; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
25 A ti, sine čovječji, doista u dan kad im oduzmem snagu, dičnu radost njihovu, radost im očinju, slast duše njihove, sinove i kćeri njihove -
And thou, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,
26 u taj će dan k tebi stići bjegunac da ti to dojavi!
that in that day he that escapes shall come to thee, to tell [it] thee in thine ears?
27 U taj će se dan tvoja usta otvoriti, i ti ćeš tom bjeguncu progovoriti; nećeš više biti nijem. I tako ćeš im biti znak. I oni će spoznati da sam ja Jahve!”
In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; thou shalt speak, and shalt be no longer dumb: and thou shalt be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
