Ezekiel 3
1 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, progutaj što je pred tobom! Pojedi taj svitak, te idi i propovijedaj domu Izraelovu!”
He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 Otvorih usta, a on mi dade da progutam svitak
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
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.
He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, idi domu Izraelovu i prenesi mu moju poruku.
He said to me, “Son of man, go 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 a strange speech and of a hard language, 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.
not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen 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 listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate 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.
Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 I ne boj ih se i ne plaši, jer oni su rod odmetnički!”
I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
10 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, sve riječi što ću ti reći uzmi k srcu i poslušaj ih svojim ušima.
Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.
11 I hajde izgnanicima, sinovima svojega naroda, i reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! - poslušali ili ne poslušali!”
Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.”
12 Uto me duh podiže i ja za sobom čuh silnu tutnjavu. Slava se Jahvina podigla sa svojega mjesta.
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be the LORD’s glory 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.
I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
14 Tada me duh prihvati i ponese. I ja iđah ogorčen i gnjevna srca, a ruka me Jahvina čvrsto pritisla.
So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the LORD’s hand was strong on 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 came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 Poslije sedam dana dođe mi opet riječ Jahvina:
At the end of seven days, the LORD’s word 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 you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn 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 tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood 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.
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered 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.
“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood 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.”
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”
22 Ondje me opet zahvati ruka Jahvina i on mi reče: “Ustani i siđi u dolinu da ondje s tobom govorim!”
The LORD’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
23 Ustadoh tada i siđoh u dolinu, i gle: Slava Jahvina stajaše ondje, slična Slavi koju vidjeh na rijeci Kebaru te padoh ničice.
Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, the LORD’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then 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 entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Na te ću, evo, sine čovječji, staviti užad i svezati te i više nećeš izlaziti.
But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them.
26 I jezik ću ti zalijepiti za nepce te ćeš onijemjeti i nećeš ih više karati, jer su rod odmetnički.
I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious 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 with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”
