Ezekiel 3
1 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, progutaj što je pred tobom! Pojedi taj svitak, te idi i propovijedaj domu Izraelovu!”
And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.
2 Otvorih usta, a on mi dade da progutam svitak
So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
3 i reče: “Sine čovječji, nahrani trbuh i nasiti utrobu svitkom što ti ga dajem!” I pojedoh ga, i bijaše mi u ustima sladak kao med.
your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
4 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, idi domu Izraelovu i prenesi mu moju poruku.
And he said to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Ne šaljem te k narodu nepoznata jezika i nerazumljiva govora, već te šaljem domu Izraelovu.
For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [but] to the house of Israel;
6 Ne šaljem te k mnogim narodima nepoznata jezika i nerazumljiva govora koje ti ne bi mogao razumjeti. A kad bih te k njima i poslao, oni bi te poslušali.
neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.
7 A dom te Izraelov neće poslušati, jer ni mene ne sluša, jer dom je Izraelov tvrde glave i okorjela srca.
But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
8 Evo, zato ću sada otvrdnuti tvoje lice kao što je i njihovo i glavu ću tvoju učiniti tvrdoglavom kao što je njihova.
And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.
9 I ne boj ih se i ne plaši, jer oni su rod odmetnički!”
And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
10 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, sve riječi što ću ti reći uzmi k srcu i poslušaj ih svojim ušima.
And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your ears.
11 I hajde izgnanicima, sinovima svojega naroda, i reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! - poslušali ili ne poslušali!”
And go your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; whether they will hear, [or] whether they will forbear.
12 Uto me duh podiže i ja za sobom čuh silnu tutnjavu. Slava se Jahvina podigla sa svojega mjesta.
Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the Lord from his place.
13 Čuh lepet krila onih bića - udarahu jedno o drugo - i snažnu škripu točkova što se s njima kretahu i zaglušnu jeku jakoga glasa.
And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
14 Tada me duh prihvati i ponese. I ja iđah ogorčen i gnjevna srca, a ruka me Jahvina čvrsto pritisla.
And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.
15 Tako stigoh u Tel Abib, k izgnanicima koji življahu na rijeci Kebaru - onamo gdje se bijahu nastanili - te ostadoh među njima sedam dana kao omamljen.
Then I passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
16 Poslije sedam dana dođe mi opet riječ Jahvina:
And after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,
17 “Sine čovječji, postavljam te za čuvara doma Izraelova. I ti ćeš riječi iz mojih usta slušati i opominjat ćeš ih u moje ime.
I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them from me.
18 Kad bezbožniku reknem: 'Umrijet ćeš', a ti ga ne opomeneš i ne odvratiš od zla puta njegova kako bi mu život spasio, on će umrijeti sa svojega bezakonja, ali ću ja od tebe tražiti račun za krv njegovu.
When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 A kad opomeneš bezbožnika, a on se ne odvrati od bezakonja i od zla puta svojega, on će umrijeti zbog svoje krivice, a ti ćeš spasiti svoj život.
But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your soul.
20 Isto tako, odvrati li se pravednik od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, postavit ću mu zamku i umrijet će jer ga ti ne opomenu zbog njegova grijeha; umrijet će, i njegova se pravedna djela više neće spominjati, ali ću od tebe tražiti račun za krv njegovu.
And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Ako li ti pravednika opomeneš da ne griješi, i on zaista prestane griješiti, živjet će jer je prihvatio opomenu, a i ti ćeš spasiti život svoj.”
But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own soul.
22 Ondje me opet zahvati ruka Jahvina i on mi reče: “Ustani i siđi u dolinu da ondje s tobom govorim!”
And the hand of the Lord came upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.
23 Ustadoh tada i siđoh u dolinu, i gle: Slava Jahvina stajaše ondje, slična Slavi koju vidjeh na rijeci Kebaru te padoh ničice.
And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: and I fell on my face.
24 Jahvin duh uđe u me, osovi me na noge i reče: “Idi i zatvori se u domu svojemu!
Then the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your house.
25 Na te ću, evo, sine čovječji, staviti užad i svezati te i više nećeš izlaziti.
And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.
26 I jezik ću ti zalijepiti za nepce te ćeš onijemjeti i nećeš ih više karati, jer su rod odmetnički.
Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking house.
27 A kad ti ja progovorim, otvorit ću ti usta i ti ćeš im reći: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! I tko hoće slušati, neka sluša, a tko neće, neka ne sluša, jer su rod odmetnički.
But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking house.
