Ezekiel 9
1 Tada zagrmje na moje uši i reče: “Kazne grada! Priđite svaka sa svojim zatornim oružjem u ruci!”
And he called before my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let those come near that have charge to punish the city, and 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 direction of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen, with a writer's materials by his side: and they went in, and placed themselves beside the copper 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 ascended up from the cherub, whereupon it had been, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's materials 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, Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and inscribe a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who complain because of all the abominations which are done in the midst of it.
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 before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;
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.
The aged, youth, and virgin, and little children, and women shall ye slay and destroy; but come not near any man upon whom the mark is; and at my sanctuary shall ye begin. Then they began with the ancient men who 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, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote 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 smiting them, and I alone was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel when thou pourest out thy fury over 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 of Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city full of injustice; for they have said, The Lord hath forsaken the land, 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, my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare; but I will bring their course upon their own 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 in linen, who had the writing materials by his side, brought back word, saying, I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
