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.

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.

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 I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.

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 stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.

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

And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.

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.

And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.

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, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities.

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

And he brought me to the porch of the court.

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

And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.

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

And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise 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 looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.

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 seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.

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, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.

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

And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do.

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

And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.

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

And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then 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 brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.

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?

And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.

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.”

Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
