Ezekiel 25

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice k sinovima Amonovim te prorokuj protiv njih!

“Son of man, set your face towards the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them.

3 Reci sinovima Amonovim: 'Poslušajte riječ Jahve Gospoda! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Zato što vi klicaste 'ha, ha!' nad mojim Svetištem kad ono bijaše oskvrnuto, i nad zemljom Izraelovom kad ona bijaše opustošena, i nad domom Judinim kad odlažaše u izgnanstvo,

Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says, “Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity,

4 predat ću vas, evo, u posjed sinovima Istoka da usred vas razapnu svoje šatore, udare svoja prebivališta. Oni neka jedu tvoje plodove i piju mlijeko tvoje!

therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession. They will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk.

5 Od Rabe ću pašnjake za deve načiniti, a u zemlji Amonovih sinova torove ću za ovce podići. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'

I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

6 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što si pljeskao rukama i udarao nogama i svom se dušom radovao nad zemljom Izraelovom,

For the Lord GOD says: “Because you have clapped your hands, stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel,

7 ja ću, evo, ruku na te podići i kao plijen te predati narodima! Istrijebit ću te iz narodÄa, iskorijeniti iz zemalja! Zatrijet ću te! I znat ćeš da sam ja Jahve!

therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries. I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

8 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što Moab i Seir govorahu: 'Gle, dom je Judin poput svih naroda',

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’

9 otkrit ću, evo, obronke moapske, da s kraja na kraj ostane bez gradova što bijahu ukras zemlje: Bet Haješimot, Baal Meon i Kirjatajim.

therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Dat ću ih u posjed sinovima Istoka, neprijateljima Amonaca, da se sinovi Amonovi među narodima više ne spominju!

to the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered amongst the nations.

11 Tako ću izvršiti sud nad Moabom. I znat će da sam ja Jahve!'

I will execute judgements on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

12 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što se Edom osveti domu Judinu i tom se osvetom teško ogriješi,

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them,”

13 ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Podići ću ruku na Edom, istrijebit ću iz njega ljude i životinje! Pretvorit ću ga u pustinju: od Temana do Dedana svi će od mača izginuti.

therefore the Lord GOD says, “I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman. They will fall by the sword even to Dedan.

14 Tako ću se osvetiti Edomu rukom svojega naroda izraelskog. Oni će postupiti s Edomom prema mojem gnjevu i mojoj srdžbi. I spoznat će moju osvetu!' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath. Then they will know my vengeance,” says the Lord GOD.

15 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što Filistejci izvršiše odmazdu, krvavo se osvećujući s mržnjom u srcu, razarajući sve zbog svojeg neprijateljstva,

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because the Philistines have taken revenge, and have taken vengeance with contempt of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility,”

16 ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, podižem ruku na Filistejce, istrijebit ću Kerećane, uništit ću sve što preostane na morskoj obali!

therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17 Tako ću im se strašno osvetiti kaznama jarosnim. I kad im se osvetim, znat će da sam ja Jahve.'”

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance on them.”’”
