Ezekiel 29
1 Godine desete, desetoga mjeseca, dvanaestoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv sveg Egipta.
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 Govori i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo me protiv tebe, faraone, kralju egipatski, golemi krokodile što ležiš usred rijeka svojih. Ti reče: 'Rijeke su moje, sebi sam ih načinio.'
Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’
4 I zato ću ti kuke zarit' u gubicu i sve ribe rijeka tvojih zalijepiti na krljušti tvoje. Izvući ću te isred rijeka tvojih sa svim ribama rijeka tvojih zalijepljenim na tvoje krljušti.
But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales.
5 Bacit ću u pustinju tebe i sve ribe iz rijeka tvojih. Na tlo ćeš poljsko pasti, nitko te neće podić' ni sahraniti, zvijerima zemaljskim i nebeskim pticama dat ću te za hranu!
I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.
6 I znat će svi stanovnici Egipta da sam ja Jahve. Jer ti bješe trska za oslonac domu Izraelovu!
Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.
7 Kad te u ruku uhvatiše, ti se slomi i rane im otvori; a kad se na te osloniše, ti prepuče i bedra im sva izrani.'
When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched.
8 Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, dovest ću mač svoj na te, istrijebit ću iz tebe i ljude i stoku!
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.
9 Sva će zemlja egipatska pustoš biti i razvalina, i oni će znati da sam ja Jahve!' Jer ti reče: 'Rijeka je moja, sebi je načinih.'
The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’
10 'Zato evo me na te i na rijeke tvoje da pretvorim zemlju egipatsku u pustinju i pustoš od Migdola do Sevana i do granice etiopske!
therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.
11 Neće njome više prolaziti noga ljudska ni noga životinjska, ostat će nenaseljena četrdeset godina.
No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 Od zemlje ću egipatske načiniti pustoš sred zemalja opustošenih, a gradovi njezini bit će četrdeset godina ruševine među razvaljenim gradovima. I raspršit ću Egipćane među narode i rasijat ću ih po zemljama.'
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
13 Jer, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Kad mine četrdeset godina, sakupit ću opet sve Egipćane između naroda kamo bijahu raspršeni.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 Vratit ću izgnanike egipatske, vratit ću ih opet u zemlju Patros, domovinu njihovu, da osnuju ondje slabo kraljevstvo.
I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 Ono će biti najmanje od svih kraljevstava, da se više nikad ne digne nad druge narode. Smanjit ću ga da više nikad ne podjarmi drugih naroda
Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations.
16 i da više ne bude uzdanje domu Izraelovu. Nek' mu u pamet doziva grijehe koje bijaše počinio okrećući se za njima. I oni će spoznati da sam ja Jahve.'”
Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
17 Godine dvadeset i sedme, prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Sine čovječji, kralj babilonski Nabukodonozor krenu s vojskom na velik pohod protiv grada Tira. I svaka glava ogolje i svako se rame odadrije. Ali ni on ni vojska mu ne imahu nikakve dobiti od toga što krenuše na Tir.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.
19 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, predat ću Nabukodonozoru, kralju babilonskome, zemlju egipatsku. Odnijet će joj blago, nagrabiti plijena i opljačkati je. To će biti plaća vojsci njegovoj.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.
20 Za trud što na Tir krenu dat ću mu svu zemlju egipatsku, jer za me bijaše radio' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.
21 'U onaj ću dan učiniti da izraste rog domu Izraelovu, a tebi ću usta otvoriti među njima. I znat će da sam ja Jahve.'”
In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
