Ezekiel 33
1 Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land — when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
3 a on - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - zatrubi u rog i opomene sav narod:
And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned 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 the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his 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.
The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
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.'
And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them — a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require.
7 I tebe sam, sine čovječji, postavio za stražara domu Izraelovu: kad čuješ riječ iz mojih usta, opomeni ih u moje ime.
And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
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.
In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one — thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He — the wicked — in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
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.
And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.
10 Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: Vi govorite: 'Prijestupi i grijesi naši pritišću nas i zbog njih propadamo! I da još živimo?'
And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How, then, do 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 unto them, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But — in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye 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.
And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
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!
In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And — he hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
14 A reknem li bezbožniku: 'Umrijet ćeš!' a on se odvrati od grijeha svojega i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi,
And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And — he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
15 vrati zalog, plati oteto i stane živjeti po zakonima života, ne čineći bezakonja - živjet će, neće umrijeti!
(The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth, ) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth — he doth 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 sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
17 Ali sinovi naroda tvoga govore: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Njihov put nije pravedan!
And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As to them — their way is not pondered.
18 Ako se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, on će stoga umrijeti.
In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity — he dieth for it.
19 A ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi, on će zbog toga živjeti.
And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth.
20 A vi velite: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Svakome ću od vas suditi prema putovima njegovim, dome Izraelov!”
And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
21 Godine dvanaeste, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana našeg izgnanstva, dođe k meni bjegunac iz Jeruzalema i reče: “Pade grad!”
And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year — in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month — of our removal, come in unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, 'The city hath been smitten.'
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.
And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.
23 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham — and he possesseth the land, and we [are] many — to us hath the land been 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?
Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!
26 Na svoj se mač oslanjate, činite gadosti, oskvrnjujete ženu bližnjega - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?'
Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
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!
Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die.
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 have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.
29 I znat će da sam ja Jahve kad zemlju njihovu razorim i opustošim zbog svih gadosti što ih počiniše.'
And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
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 thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother, Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that cometh out from Jehovah.
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.
And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee — My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.
32 I gle, ti si za njih kao slatka pjesma uz glazbu otpjevana glasom umilnim: riječi ti slušaju, ali ih ne izvršuju.
And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.
33 Ali kad sve ovo dođe - gle, već dolazi - znat će da prorok bijaše među njima!”
And in its coming in — lo, it hath come, And they have known that a prophet hath been in their midst!'
