Ezekiel 24
1 Godine devete, devetoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came unto 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 thee down the name of this day, of this same day: the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day.
3 Pripovijedaj domu odmetničkom prispodobu. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Pristavi lonac, pristavi i nalij vode u nj!
And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;
4 Baci u nj komade, sve najbolje komade mesa, but i pleće! Napuni ga ponajboljim kostima!
Gather the proper pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it up with the choice bones.
5 Uzmi najbolje od stada. Pod loncem vatru naloži. Neka dobro uzavri, neka se u njemu skuhaju i kosti.'
Take the choice of the flock, and make also a fire for the bones under it: cause it to seethe well, that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness, to the pot the scum of which is yet in it, and the scum of which is not gone out of it! one of its pieces after the other take out from it: no lot is cast for 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 was in the midst of her; on the naked rock did she place it: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it over with dust.
8 Da se gnjev moj raspali, da mu odmazdim, ostavih krv njegovu na kamenu golom, da se ne pokrije.'
To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance, do I place her blood upon the naked rock, so that it shall not be covered up.
9 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkome, jer ću veliku lomaču naložiti!
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness! I also will myself build up a large burning pile,
10 Skupi drva, vatru potpali, skuhaj meso, primiješaj začina, nek' izgore i kosti!
Heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, thoroughly boiling the flesh, and stirring the mixture, that the bones may be scorched.
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!
Then will I set it empty upon its coals, in order that it may become hot, and its copper be made to glow, and its uncleanness may be molten in it, that its scum may be consumed.
12 Grdne li muke! Ali se velika hrđa ne dade s njega skinuti: i vatri odolje.
With fraud hath she wearied [the poor]; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum: through fire shall her scum [be removed].
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!
In thy uncleanness is [thy] incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on thee.
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 it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.
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.”
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of [other] men.
18 Ujutro tako prorokovah narodu, a uveče mi žena umrije te sutradan uradih kao što mi bijaše zapovjeđeno.
And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been commanded.
19 Narod me na to zapita: “Nećeš li nam reći što znači za nas to što ti radiš?”
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things mean for us, that thou doest so?
20 Ja im odgovorih: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And I said unto them, The word of the Lord came unto 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!
Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind 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 cover yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.
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 bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.
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!'
Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.
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 -
Also, thou son of man, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, their sons and their daughters, —
26 u taj će dan k tebi stići bjegunac da ti to dojavi!
On that day there shall come one that hath escaped unto thee, and announce it to thy 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!”
On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
