< Ezekiel 5 >
1 A ti, sine čovječji, uzmi mač naoštren, uzmi ga kao britvu brijačku i obrij glavu i bradu. Zatim uzmi mjerice i porazdijeli.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword, as a barber's razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard; then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2 Trećinu spali posred grada ognjem kad se navrše dani tvoje opsade; trećinu uzmi i sasijeci mačem oko grada; trećinu baci u vjetar - i svoj ću mač trgnuti na njih.
A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite it with the sword round about her; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Uzmi malo i zaveži u skute haljine.
Thou shalt also take thereof a few by number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Od toga opet nešto uzmi, baci u vatru i spali: odatle će se razgorjeti vatra svemu domu Izraelovu!”
And of them again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ovo je Jeruzalem! Postavih ga u središte naroda, okružih ga zemljama!
Thus saith the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem! I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.
6 Ali se on odupro mojim naredbama većma nego pogani, zakonima mojim većma nego zemlje koje ga okružuju.”
And she hath rebelled against Mine ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have rejected Mine ordinances, and as for My statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Buntovniji ste od naroda koji vas okružuju, ne hodite po mojim zakonima i ne vršite ni mojih naredaba ni naredaba okolnih naroda.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have outdone the nations that are round about you, in that ye have not walked in My statutes, neither have kept Mine ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;
8 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo i mene protiv tebe! Izvršit ću sud svoj nad tobom na oči svih naroda.
therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
9 Zbog tvojih gadosti učinit ću s tobom što još ne učinih nikada nit ću ikad učiniti:
And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10 posred tebe očevi će jesti sinove, a sinovi očeve; izvršit ću sud svoj nad tobom i sav ostatak tvoj predati svim vjetrovima!
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter unto all the winds.
11 Života mi moga! - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - svakojakim grozotama i gadostima ti uistinu oskvrnu moje Svetište. I ja ću sada brijati i oko se moje neće sažaliti i neću se smilovati:
Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely, because thou hast defiled My sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall Mine eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
12 trećina će tvojih žitelja posred tebe od kuge skončati i od gladi umrijeti; trećina će oko tebe od mača pasti; trećinu ću predati vjetrovima - i mač ću svoj trgnuti na njih!
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 Tako ću iskaliti gnjev svoj i smirit će se jarost moja kad im se osvetim. I kad iskalim jarost svoju nad njima, spoznat će da sam to ja, Jahve, u ljubomori svojoj bio rekao.
Thus shall Mine anger spend itself, and I will satisfy My fury upon them, and I will be eased; and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.
14 Opustošit ću te, izvrgnut ću te ruglu naroda koji te okružuju, na oči svim prolaznicima.
Moreover I will make thee an amazement and a reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Da, bit ćeš na ruglo i sramotu, opomena i užas okolnim narodima kad izvršim protiv tebe sve svoje sudove kažnjavajući gnjevno, jarosno. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury, and in furious rebukes; I the LORD have spoken it;
16 I kad na vas pustim ljute strijele gladi što zatiru, koje ću pustiti na vas da vas uništim i glađu zatrem - uništit ću vam i posljednju pričuvu kruha.
when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you; and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread;
17 A povrh gladi pustit ću na vas i divlje zvijeri koje će ti djecu rastrgati; kuga će te i krv preplaviti: pod mač ću te svoj okrenuti. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!”
and I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.'
