Ezekiel 37
1 I spusti se na me ruka Jahvina i Jahve me u svojem duhu izvede i postavi usred doline pune kostiju.
The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
2 Provede me kroz njih, svuda oko njih, i gle, bijaše ih u dolini veoma mnogo i bijahu sasvim suhe!
And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
3 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, mogu li ove kosti oživjeti?” Ja odgovorih: “Jahve Gospode, to samo ti znaš!”
And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
4 Tad mi reče: “Prorokuj ovim kostima i reci im: 'O suhe kosti, čujte riječ Jahvinu!'
And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
5 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod ovim kostima: 'Evo, duh ću svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete!
This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
6 Žilama ću vas ispreplesti, mesom obložiti, kožom vas obaviti i duh svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete - i znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'”
And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
7 I ja stadoh prorokovati kao što mi bješe zapovjeđeno. I dok sam prorokovao, nastade šuškanje i pomicanje i kosti se stadoše pribirati.
So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 Pogledah, i gle, po njima narasle žile i meso; kožom se presvukoše, ali duha još ne bijaše u njima.
And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
9 I reče mi: “Prorokuj duhu, sine čovječji, prorokuj i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Od sva četiri vjetra dođi, duše, i dahni u ova trupla da ožive!'”
And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
10 I stadoh prorokovati kao što mi zapovjedi, i duh uđe u njih i oživješe i stadoše na noge - vojska vrlo, vrlo velika.
And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
11 Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, te kosti - to je sav dom Izraelov. Evo, oni vele: 'Usahnuše nam kosti i propade nam nada, pogibosmo!'
Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
12 Zato prorokuj i reci im. 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ja ću otvoriti vaše grobove, izvesti vas iz vaših grobova, narode moj, i odvesti vas u zemlju Izraelovu!
For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
13 I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve kad otvorim grobove vaše i kad vas izvedem iz vaših grobova, moj narode!
And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
14 I duh svoj udahnut ću u vas da oživite, i dovest ću vas u vašu zemlju, i znat ćete da ja, Jahve govorim i činim' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.
15 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “Sine čovječji, uzmi drvo i napiši na njemu: 'Juda i sinovi Izraelovi, njegovi saveznici!' Onda uzmi drugo drvo i napiši na njemu: 'Josip - drvo Efrajimovo - i sav dom Izraelov, njegov saveznik.'
And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:
17 I sastavi ih u jedno drvo da budu kao jedno u tvojoj ruci!
Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
18 A kad te sinovi tvojega naroda zapitaju: 'Hoćeš li nam objasniti što to znači?' -
And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?
19 reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, uzet ću drvo Josipovo, što je u ruci Efrajimovoj, drvo Josipovo i Izraelovih plemena, njegovih saveznika, i sastavit ću ga s drvetom Judinim te ću od njih načiniti jedno; oba će biti jedno u mojoj ruci.'
Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 Oba drveta na koja to napišeš neka ti budu u ruci, njima naočigled.
And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 I reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, skupit ću sinove Izraelove iz naroda u koje dođoše, skupit ću ih odasvud i odvesti ih u zemlju njihovu.
And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
22 I načinit ću od njih jedan narod u zemlji, u gorama Izraelovim, i bit će im svima jedan kralj, i oni više neće biti dva naroda i neće više biti razdijeljeni na dva kraljevstva.
And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
23 I neće se više kaljati svojim kumirima, ni svojim grozotama, ni opačinama. Izbavit ću ih od svih njihovih nevjera kojima zgriješiše i očistit ću ih, i oni će biti moj narod, a ja njihov Bog.
And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
24 I sluga moj David bit će im kralj i svima će im biti jedan pastir. Živjet će po mojim zakonima, čuvajući i vršeći moje naredbe.
And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
25 Boravit će u zemlji koju dadoh sluzi svome Jakovu, u kojoj življahu oci vaši: u njoj će stanovati oni i njihovi sinovi, i sinovi sinova njihovih dovijeka. I moj sluga David bit će im knez dovijeka.
And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
26 Sklopit ću s njima savez mira; bit će to Savez vječan s njima. Utvrdit ću ih i razmnožiti i postavit ću Svetište svoje zauvijek među njih.
And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
27 Moj će Šator biti među njima i ja ću biti Bog njihov, a oni narod moj!
And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
28 I kad Svetište moje bude zauvijek među njima, znat će svi narodi da sam ja Jahve, koji posvećujem Izraela.'”
And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
