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.
On the fifth day of the sixth month [of that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on 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.
[in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot metal.
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.
He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
4 I gle, ondje bijaše Slava Boga Izraelova, kao što je vidjeh u dolini.
And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
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!”
He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 I povede me do vrata predvorja. Pogledah, i gle: u zidu pukotina.
Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, probij taj zid!” Probih zid, a ono - ulaz!
He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
9 I reče mi: “Uđi i pogledaj strahovite gadosti što se ovdje čine!”
He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
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 through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
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.
In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising 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!”
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
13 I reče mi još: “A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba što se ovdje čine!”
He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
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 entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], Tammuz.
15 I reče mi: “Vidiš li, sine čovječji? A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba od ovih!”
He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
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.
Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] in 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?
He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
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.”
So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
