Ezekiel 8

1 Godine šeste, šestoga mjeseca, petoga dana, dok sjeđah u svojoj kući, a preda mnom starješine judejske, spusti se na me ruka Jahvina.

Now in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in my house and the responsible men of Judah were seated before me, the hand of the Lord came on me there.

2 Pogledah, i gle: tu kao neki čovjek; od njegovih kao bokova naniže oganj, a od njegovih kao bokova naviše bljeskanje, nešto poput usijane kovine.

And looking, I saw a form like fire; from the middle of his body and down there was fire: and up from the middle of his body a sort of shining, like electrum.

3 Ispruži nešto nalik na ruku i uhvati me za kosu na glavi. Uto me duh podiže između zemlje i neba i ponese me u božanskome viđenju u Jeruzalem, na ulaz unutrašnjih vrata, što su okrenuta prema sjeveru gdje stoji kumir, ljubomora koja izaziva ljubomoru.

And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.

4 I gle, ondje bijaše Slava Boga Izraelova, kao što je vidjeh u dolini.

And I saw the glory of the Lord there, as in the vision which I saw in the valley.

5 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, podigni oči prema sjeveru!” I podigoh oči prema sjeveru. I gle, kumir, ljubomora, bijaše i na sjeveru, kraj vrata žrtvenika, na strani prema ulazu.

Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.

6 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, vidiš li što oni ovdje čine? Velike su to gnusobe što ih dom Izraelov ovdje čini, samo da me udalji iz mojega Svetišta. A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba!”

And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.

7 I povede me do vrata predvorja. Pogledah, i gle: u zidu pukotina.

And he took me to the door of the open place; and looking, I saw a hole in the wall.

8 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, probij taj zid!” Probih zid, a ono - ulaz!

And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.

9 I reče mi: “Uđi i pogledaj strahovite gadosti što se ovdje čine!”

And he said to me, Go in and see the evil and disgusting things which they are doing here.

10 Uđoh i pogledah. I gle, svakojake slike gmazova i gnusnih životinja - sve kumiri doma Izraelova, našarani na zidu, svuda uokolo.

So I went in and saw; and there every sort of living thing which goes flat on the earth, and unclean beasts, and all the images of the children of Israel, were pictured round about on the wall.

11 A pred tim kumirima sedamdesetorica ljudi od starješina doma Izraelova, i među njima i Šafanov sin Jaazanija. I svakome od njih u ruci kadionica iz koje se podiže oblak kada miomirisnoga.

And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.

12 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, vidiš li što u toj tami rade starješine doma Izraelova, svatko u svojoj oslikanoj komori? I još govore: Jahve nas ne vidi jer je Jahve napustio zemlju!”

And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

13 I reče mi još: “A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba što se ovdje čine!”

Then he said to me, You will see even more disgusting things which they do.

14 I povede me do vrata Doma Jahvina što su okrenuta prema sjeveru. I gle, ondje sjeđahu žene i oplakivahu Tamuza.

Then he took me to the door of the way into the Lord's house looking to the north; and there women were seated weeping for Tammuz.

15 I reče mi: “Vidiš li, sine čovječji? A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba od ovih!”

Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.

16 I povede me u unutrašnje predvorje Doma Jahvina. Ondje, na ulazu u Hekal Jahvin, između trijema i žrtvenika, bijaše oko dvadeset i pet ljudi, okrenutih leđima Hekalu Jahvinu, a licem prema istoku, i ondje se prema istoku klanjahu suncu.

And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.

17 I reče mi: “Vidiš li to, sine čovječji? Malo li je domu Judinu svih ovih gnusoba što ih ovdje čine, nego mi još zemlju pune i nasiljem, i ponovo me izazivaju i granama pred nosom mašu?

Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.

18 Zato ću i ja sada postupiti s njima jarosno i oči se moje više neće sažaliti i neću im se smilovati. I kad stanu iza glasa vikati na moje uši, neću ih uslišiti.”

For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity.
