< 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 was on me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which 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 caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, see, 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, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, you know.
4 Tad mi reče: “Prorokuj ovim kostima i reci im: 'O suhe kosti, čujte riječ Jahvinu!'
Again he said to me, Prophesy on these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod ovim kostima: 'Evo, duh ću svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete!
Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live:
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 lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know 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 prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 Pogledah, i gle, po njima narasle žile i meso; kožom se presvukoše, ali duha još ne bijaše u njima.
And when I beheld, see, the sinews and the flesh came up on them, and the skin covered them above: 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!'”
Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.
10 I stadoh prorokovati kao što mi zapovjedi, i duh uđe u njih i oživješe i stadoše na noge - vojska vrlo, vrlo velika.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceeding 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 the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
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!
Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring 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 shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
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 shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says the LORD.
15 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
The word of the LORD came again 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.'
Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 I sastavi ih u jedno drvo da budu kao jedno u tvojoj ruci!
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become 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 shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
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.'
Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 Oba drveta na koja to napišeš neka ti budu u ruci, njima naočigled.
And the sticks where on you write shall 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, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, where they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own 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 shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
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.
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their 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 David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, 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 shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelled; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince 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.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the middle of them for ever more.
27 Moj će Šator biti među njima i ja ću biti Bog njihov, a oni narod moj!
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yes, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 I kad Svetište moje bude zauvijek među njima, znat će svi narodi da sam ja Jahve, koji posvećujem Izraela.'”
And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the middle of them for ever more.
