Ezekiel 9
1 Tada zagrmje na moje uši i reče: “Kazne grada! Priđite svaka sa svojim zatornim oružjem u ruci!”
Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, "Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, 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.
Look, six men came from the way of the Upper Gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in their midst clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze 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,
The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who 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!”
The LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in its midst."
5 A drugima reče na moje uši: “Pođite za njim gradom i ubijajte bez milosrđa. Oči vaše neka se ne sažale i nemajte smilovanja.
To the others he said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him, and strike: do not let your eye spare, neither have 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.
kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but do not come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary." Then they began at the old men that were before the house.
7 I reče im: “Oskvrnite Dom moj i napunite mu predvorje truplima! Krenite!” I oni iziđoše te zaredaše ubijati gradom.
He said to them, "Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth." They went forth, and struck 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?”
It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, "Ah, LORD. Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on 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 he said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion: for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD doesn't see.'
10 I zato se moje oči neće sažaliti i neću im se smilovati: djela ću im njihova oboriti na glavu!”
As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head."
11 I gle, čovjek odjeven u lan, koji imaše za pojasom pisarski pribor, javi vijesti: “Učinih kako si mi zapovjedio!”
Look, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, "I have done as you have commanded me."
