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 happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon 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 I saw, and behold, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight 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 as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
4 I gle, ondje bijaše Slava Boga Izraelova, kao što je vidjeh u dolini.
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, in accord with the vision that I had seen 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 your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
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, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
7 I povede me do vrata predvorja. Pogledah, i gle: u zidu pukotina.
And he led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening 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, dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there appeared one door.
9 I reče mi: “Uđi i pogledaj strahovite gadosti što se ovdje čine!”
And he said to me: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing here.”
10 Uđoh i pogledah. I gle, svakojake slike gmazova i gnusnih životinja - sve kumiri doma Izraelova, našarani na zidu, svuda uokolo.
And entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
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 there were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose up from the incense.
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: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. 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: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
14 I povede me do vrata Doma Jahvina što su okrenuta prema sjeveru. I gle, ondje sjeđahu žene i oplakivahu Tamuza.
And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
15 I reče mi: “Vidiš li, sine čovječji? A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba od ovih!”
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations 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 led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward the rising of 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: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying a branch to their 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.”
Therefore, I also will act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
