Ezekiel 33
1 Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, govori sinovima naroda svojega! Reci: 'Ako ja na neku zemlju dovedem mač, a narod te zemlje uzme jednoga između sebe i postavi ga za stražara,
Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
3 a on - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - zatrubi u rog i opomene sav narod:
and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
4 ako se tada onaj koji čuje glas roga ne da opomenuti te mač dođe i pogubi ga - krv njegova past će na glavu njegovu:
and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
5 jer, čuo je glas roga, ali se ne dade opomenuti - krv njegova past će na njega. Da se dao opomenuti, spasio bi život.
Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
6 A opet, ako stražar - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - ne zatrubi u rog i ne opomene narod te mač dođe i pogubi koga od njih: taj je, doduše, poginuo zbog svoga grijeha, ali ću ja krv njegovu tražiti iz stražarove ruke.'
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from amongst them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 I tebe sam, sine čovječji, postavio za stražara domu Izraelovu: kad čuješ riječ iz mojih usta, opomeni ih u moje ime.
And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
8 Reknem li bezbožniku: 'Bezbožniče, umrijet ćeš!' - a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, bezbožnik će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, ali krv njegovu tražit ću iz tvoje ruke.
When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Ali ako bezbožnika opomeneš da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svojega puta: on će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, a ti si spasio život svoj.
But if you forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
10 Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: Vi govorite: 'Prijestupi i grijesi naši pritišću nas i zbog njih propadamo! I da još živimo?'
And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
11 Odgovori im: 'Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nije meni do smrti bezbožnikove, nego da se odvrati od zloga puta svojega i da živi! Obratite se, dakle, obratite od zloga puta svojega! Zašto da umrete, dome Izraelov!'
Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Sine čovječji, reci sinovima naroda svoga: 'Pravednika neće izbaviti pravednost njegova u dan kad sagriješi niti će bezbožnik stradati zbog svoje bezbožnosti u dan kad se od nje odvrati, kao što ni pravednik neće moći ostati na životu u dan kad sagriješi.
Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
13 Reknem li ja prevedniku: 'Živjet ćeš!' a on se pouzda u svoju pravednost i stane činiti nepravdu, zaboravit ću svu njegovu pravednost, i on će umrijeti zbog nepravde što je počini!
When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
14 A reknem li bezbožniku: 'Umrijet ćeš!' a on se odvrati od grijeha svojega i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi,
And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgement and justice,
15 vrati zalog, plati oteto i stane živjeti po zakonima života, ne čineći bezakonja - živjet će, neće umrijeti!
and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 I svi grijesi njegovi što ih bijaše počinio bit će mu zaboravljeni. Radi po zakonu i pravdi, živjet će!'
None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgement and righteousness; by them shall he live.
17 Ali sinovi naroda tvoga govore: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Njihov put nije pravedan!
Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
18 Ako se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, on će stoga umrijeti.
When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
19 A ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi, on će zbog toga živjeti.
And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgement and righteousness, he shall live by them.
20 A vi velite: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Svakome ću od vas suditi prema putovima njegovim, dome Izraelov!”
And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
21 Godine dvanaeste, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana našeg izgnanstva, dođe k meni bjegunac iz Jeruzalema i reče: “Pade grad!”
And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
22 Ruka se Jahvina spustila na me uveče, prije dolaska toga bjegunca, i otvorila mi usta prije negoli on dođe k meni ujutro! Otvoriše mi se, dakle, usta i ja više ne bijah nijem.
Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
23 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 “Sine čovječji, oni koji žive u ovim ruševinama zemlje Izraelove govore: 'Jedan bijaše Abraham i baštini ovu zemlju, a nas je mnogo - nama je zemlja dana u posjed!'
Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
25 Stoga im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Vi blagujete po gorama, oči podižete kumirima svojim, krv prolijevate - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?
26 Na svoj se mač oslanjate, činite gadosti, oskvrnjujete ženu bližnjega - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?'
27 Ovo im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Života mi moga, oni koji su u ruševinama od mača će pasti; one koji su u polju dat ću zvijerima da ih proždru; a koji su u utvrdama i po pećinama od kuge će poginuti!
Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
28 Tako ću zemlju ovu razoriti i opustošiti i nestat će zauvijek drskoga njezina ponosa. Opustjet će gore Izraelove i nitko više neće njima prolaziti.
And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.
29 I znat će da sam ja Jahve kad zemlju njihovu razorim i opustošim zbog svih gadosti što ih počiniše.'
And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
30 A o tebi, sine čovječji, sinovi naroda tvoga kazuju uza zidove i na kućnim vratima i govore jedan drugom: 'Hajde da čujemo kakva je to riječ došla od Jahve!'
And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.
31 I hrle k tebi kao na zbor narodni; i narod moj sjeda preda te i sluša tvoje riječi, ali ih ne izvršuje: naslađuju se njima u ustima, a srce im ide za nepravednim dobitkom.
They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
32 I gle, ti si za njih kao slatka pjesma uz glazbu otpjevana glasom umilnim: riječi ti slušaju, ali ih ne izvršuju.
And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
33 Ali kad sve ovo dođe - gle, već dolazi - znat će da prorok bijaše među njima!”
But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
