Ezekiel 9
1 Tada zagrmje na moje uši i reče: “Kazne grada! Priđite svaka sa svojim zatornim oružjem u ruci!”
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 I gle, dođoše šestorica ljudi s gornjih vrata, što su okrenuta k sjeveru, svaki sa svojim zatornim oružjem u ruci. Među njima bijaše i jedan odjeven u lan, s pisarskim priborom za pojasom. Uđoše oni i stadoše uz tučani žrtvenik.
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3 A Slava Boga Izraelova vinu se s kerubina, nad kojima lebdijaše, prema pragu Doma. I pozva čovjeka odjevena u lan, koji imaše za pojasom pisarski pribor,
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
4 te mu reče: “Prođi gradom Jeruzalemom i znakom 'tau' obilježi čela sviju koji tuguju i plaču zbog gnusoba što se u njemu čine!”
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 A drugima reče na moje uši: “Pođite za njim gradom i ubijajte bez milosrđa. Oči vaše neka se ne sažale i nemajte smilovanja.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6 Pobijte starce, mladiće, djevojke, djecu i žene; istrijebite ih sve do posljednjega. Ali na kome bude znak 'tau', njega ne dirajte. Počnite od mojega Svetišta!” I oni počeše od starješina koji stajahu pred Domom.
Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.
7 I reče im: “Oskvrnite Dom moj i napunite mu predvorje truplima! Krenite!” I oni iziđoše te zaredaše ubijati gradom.
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 Dok su oni klali, ja ostadoh, bacih se ničice i zavapih: “Jao, Jahve Gospode! Zar ćeš zaista uništiti sve što preostade od Izraela da iskališ svoj gnjev nad Jeruzalemom?”
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Reče mi: “Veoma je veliko bezakonje doma Izraelova i doma Judina; zemlja je puna krvi, a grad krcat zločina. Govore: 'Jahve je ostavio zemlju! Ne vidi Jahve!'
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
10 I zato se moje oči neće sažaliti i neću im se smilovati: djela ću im njihova oboriti na glavu!”
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.
11 I gle, čovjek odjeven u lan, koji imaše za pojasom pisarski pribor, javi vijesti: “Učinih kako si mi zapovjedio!”
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
