< Ezekiel 29 >
1 Godine desete, desetoga mjeseca, dvanaestoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv sveg Egipta.
'Son of man, set thy 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, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, that hath said: My river is mine own, and I have made it for 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.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy 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!
And I will cast thee into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers; thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the heaven have I given thee for food.
6 I znat će svi stanovnici Egipta da sam ja Jahve. Jer ti bješe trska za oslonac domu Izraelovu!
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed 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 they take hold of thee with the hand, thou dost break, and rend all their shoulders; and when they lean upon thee, thou breakest, and makest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, dovest ću mač svoj na te, istrijebit ću iz tebe i ljude i stoku!
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee 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.'
And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste, and they shall know that I am the LORD; because he hath said: The river is mine, and I have 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, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol to Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11 Neće njome više prolaziti noga ljudska ni noga životinjska, ostat će nenaseljena četrdeset godina.
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited 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.'
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Jer, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Kad mine četrdeset godina, sakupit ću opet sve Egipćane između naroda kamo bijahu raspršeni.
For thus saith the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered;
14 Vratit ću izgnanike egipatske, vratit ću ih opet u zemlju Patros, domovinu njihovu, da osnuju ondje slabo kraljevstvo.
and I will turn the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there 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
It shall be the lowliest of the kingdoms, neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations; and I will diminish them, that they shall no more 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.'”
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.'
17 Godine dvadeset i sedme, prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto 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, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against 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 thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her abundance, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall 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 his hire for which he served, because they wrought for Me, saith 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 will I cause a horn to shoot up unto the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
