Ezekiel 34

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Sine čovječji, prorokuj protiv Izraelovih pastira, prorokuj im i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Jao pastirima Izraelovim koji napasaju sami sebe! Ne moraju li pastiri napasati stado?

“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?

3 Mlijekom se hranite, vunom odijevate, ovnove tovne koljete, a stada ne pasete.

You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.

4 Nemoćnih ne krijepite, bolesnih ne liječite, ranjenih ne povijate, zalutalih natrag ne dovodite, izgubljenih ne tražite, nego nasilno i okrutno njima gospodarite.

You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.

5 I tako se ovce raspršiše nemajuć' pastira, i raspršene postadoše plijen zvijerima.

They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.

6 Ovce lutaju po svim gorama i visokim bregovima; po svoj su zemlji raspršene ovce moje i nitko za njih ne pita, nikoga nema da ih traži.'

My flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’

7 Zato, pastiri, čujte riječ Jahvinu:

Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

8 'Tako mi života, riječ je Jahve Gospoda: zato što ovce moje postadoše plijen i hrana zvijerima, nemajuć' pastira, dok pastiri moji ovaca mojih ne traže nego sami sebe pasu, a ne pasu stada mojega -

‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,

9 zato, pastiri, čujte riječ Jahvinu:

therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’

10 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me na pastire! Ovce svoje tražit ću iz ruku njihovih i neću im dati da mi više stado pasu ni da sami sebe pasu: istrgnut ću ovce iz usta njihovih, neće im više biti hrana.'

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’

11 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me, sam ću potražiti ovce svoje i sam ću ih pasti!

For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.

12 Kao što se pastir brine za ovce svoje kad se nađe uza stado raspršeno, i ja ću se pobrinuti za svoje ovce i skupit' ih iz svih mjesta u koje se raspršiše u dan oblaka i mraka.

As a shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.

13 Izvest ću ih iz naroda, skupit ću ih iz zemalja i dovesti ih u zemlju njihovu da ih pasem na gorama izraelskim, po svim dolinama i travnjacima.

I will bring them out from the peoples, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the settlements of the land.

14 Past ću ih na izvrsnim pašama, ovčinjaci će im biti na visokim gorama izraelskim; ondje će počivati u dobrim ovčinjacima i past će na sočnim pašama, po gorama izraelskim.

I will feed them in good pasture, and the lofty mountains of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

15 Sam ću pasti ovce svoje i sam ću im dati počinka - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.

16 Potražit ću izgubljenu, dovesti natrag zalutalu, povit ću ranjenu i okrijepiti nemoćnu, bdjeti nad pretilom i jakom - past ću ih pravedno.'

I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with justice.’

17 A vama, ovce moje, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me da sudim između ovce i ovce, između ovnova i jaraca!

This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.

18 Zar vam je malo pasti na dobroj paši te ostatak paše nogama gazite? Malo vam je piti bistru vodu te ostatak nogama mutite?

Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?

19 A moje ovce moraju pasti što vi nogama izgaziste, piti što vi nogama zamutiste.'

Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’

20 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me da sudim između ovce pretile i mršave!

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

21 Jer bokovima i plećima, bodući rogovima, slabe ovce guraste dok ih ne izguraste.

Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,

22 Ja ću izbaviti ovce svoje da više ne budu plijenom i sudit ću između ovce i ovce.

I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.

23 Postavit ću im jednoga pastira koji će ih pasti, slugu svoga Davida: on će ih sam pasti i bit će im pastir,

I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.

24 a ja, Jahve, bit ću njihov Bog, i moj sluga David bit će im knez. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!

I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.

25 I sklopit ću s njima Savez mira i uklonit ću iz zemlje sve divlje zvijeri, i živjet će mirno u pustinji i spavati po šumama.

I will make with them a covenant of peace and rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.

26 Njih i sve oko brda svojega učinit ću blagoslovom i dat ću im na vrijeme kišu, i bit će to kiša blagoslova.

I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.

27 I drveće će poljsko donositi plodove, a zemlja će dati rod svoj. I oni će mirno živjeti u svojoj zemlji i znat će da sam ja Jahve kad slomim palice jarma njihova i kad ih izbavim iz ruku onih što ih podjarmiše.

The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.

28 I neće više biti plijenom narodima, i zvijeri ih više neće žderati, nego će mirno živjeti i nitko ih neće plašiti.

They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not consume them. They will dwell securely, and no one will frighten them.

29 I učinit ću da im probuja slavni nasad, i glad ih više neće zatirati, u zemlji više neće podnositi rug narodÄa.

And I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.

30 I znat će da sam ja, Jahve, Bog njihov, s njima i da su oni, dom Izraelov, narod moj - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,’ declares the Lord GOD.

31 Vi, ovce moje, vi ste stado paše moje, a ja sam Bog vaš' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”

‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
