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 all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.
2 Otvorih usta, a on mi dade da progutam svitak
And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:
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.
And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, idi domu Izraelovu i prenesi mu moju poruku.
And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.
5 Ne šaljem te k narodu nepoznata jezika i nerazumljiva govora, već te šaljem domu Izraelovu.
For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, 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.
Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.
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 hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart.
8 Evo, zato ću sada otvrdnuti tvoje lice kao što je i njihovo i glavu ću tvoju učiniti tvrdoglavom kao što je njihova.
Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads.
9 I ne boj ih se i ne plaši, jer oni su rod odmetnički!”
I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are 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 in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:
11 I hajde izgnanicima, sinovima svojega naroda, i reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! - poslušali ili ne poslušali!”
And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear.
12 Uto me duh podiže i ja za sobom čuh silnu tutnjavu. Slava se Jahvina podigla sa svojega mjesta.
And the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, 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 the noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise of a great commotion.
14 Tada me duh prihvati i ponese. I ja iđah ogorčen i gnjevna srca, a ruka me Jahvina čvrsto pritisla.
The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening 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.
And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them.
16 Poslije sedam dana dođe mi opet riječ Jahvina:
And at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 “Sine čovječji, postavljam te za čuvara doma Izraelova. I ti ćeš riječi iz mojih usta slušati i opominjat ćeš ih u moje ime.
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it 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.
If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy 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 thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy 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.
Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy 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 thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy 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 was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee.
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 rose up, and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face.
24 Jahvin duh uđe u me, osovi me na noge i reče: “Idi i zatvori se u domu svojemu!
And the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet: and he spoke to me, and said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy house.
25 Na te ću, evo, sine čovječji, staviti užad i svezati te i više nećeš izlaziti.
And thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them.
26 I jezik ću ti zalijepiti za nepce te ćeš onijemjeti i nećeš ih više karati, jer su rod odmetnički.
And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are 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 shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house.
