< 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 upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst 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 on every side: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, 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, thou knowest.
4 Tad mi reče: “Prorokuj ovim kostima i reci im: 'O suhe kosti, čujte riječ Jahvinu!'
Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O ye 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 saith the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye 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 upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye 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, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon 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 saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon 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 upon 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 on our part.
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 saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come 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 ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you 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 ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith 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, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon 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 thy hand.
18 A kad te sinovi tvojega naroda zapitaju: 'Hoćeš li nam objasniti što to znači?' -
And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest 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 saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, 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 on which thou writest shall be in thy 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 saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, where they are 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 upon 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 dwellingplaces, in which 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, in which your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell in it, 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 midst of them for evermore.
27 Moj će Šator biti među njima i ja ću biti Bog njihov, a oni narod moj!
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, 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 sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
