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.
“You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take 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 you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Uzmi malo i zaveži u skute haljine.
You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.
4 Od toga opet nešto uzmi, baci u vatru i spali: odatle će se razgorjeti vatra svemu domu Izraelovu!”
Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
5 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ovo je Jeruzalem! Postavih ga u središte naroda, okružih ga zemljama!
“The Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her.
6 Ali se on odupro mojim naredbama većma nego pogani, zakonima mojim većma nego zemlje koje ga okružuju.”
She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
8 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo i mene protiv tebe! Izvršit ću sud svoj nad tobom na oči svih naroda.
therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
9 Zbog tvojih gadosti učinit ću s tobom što još ne učinih nikada nit ću ikad učiniti:
I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your 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 will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to 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:
Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I 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 you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to 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 my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
14 Opustošit ću te, izvrgnut ću te ruglu naroda koji te okružuju, na oči svim prolaznicima.
“‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, 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 will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful 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 send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on 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!”
I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken it.’”
