Ezekiel 33
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
“Sine čovječji, govori sinovima naroda svojega! Reci: 'Ako ja na neku zemlju dovedem mač, a narod te zemlje uzme jednoga između sebe i postavi ga za stražara,
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
a on - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - zatrubi u rog i opomene sav narod:
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
ako se tada onaj koji čuje glas roga ne da opomenuti te mač dođe i pogubi ga - krv njegova past će na glavu njegovu:
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
jer, čuo je glas roga, ali se ne dade opomenuti - krv njegova past će na njega. Da se dao opomenuti, spasio bi život.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
A opet, ako stražar - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - ne zatrubi u rog i ne opomene narod te mač dođe i pogubi koga od njih: taj je, doduše, poginuo zbog svoga grijeha, ali ću ja krv njegovu tražiti iz stražarove ruke.'
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
I tebe sam, sine čovječji, postavio za stražara domu Izraelovu: kad čuješ riječ iz mojih usta, opomeni ih u moje ime.
8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
Reknem li bezbožniku: 'Bezbožniče, umrijet ćeš!' - a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, bezbožnik će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, ali krv njegovu tražit ću iz tvoje ruke.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Ali ako bezbožnika opomeneš da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svojega puta: on će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, a ti si spasio život svoj.
10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: Vi govorite: 'Prijestupi i grijesi naši pritišću nas i zbog njih propadamo! I da još živimo?'
11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
Odgovori im: 'Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nije meni do smrti bezbožnikove, nego da se odvrati od zloga puta svojega i da živi! Obratite se, dakle, obratite od zloga puta svojega! Zašto da umrete, dome Izraelov!'
12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
Sine čovječji, reci sinovima naroda svoga: 'Pravednika neće izbaviti pravednost njegova u dan kad sagriješi niti će bezbožnik stradati zbog svoje bezbožnosti u dan kad se od nje odvrati, kao što ni pravednik neće moći ostati na životu u dan kad sagriješi.
13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
Reknem li ja prevedniku: 'Živjet ćeš!' a on se pouzda u svoju pravednost i stane činiti nepravdu, zaboravit ću svu njegovu pravednost, i on će umrijeti zbog nepravde što je počini!
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
A reknem li bezbožniku: 'Umrijet ćeš!' a on se odvrati od grijeha svojega i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi,
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
vrati zalog, plati oteto i stane živjeti po zakonima života, ne čineći bezakonja - živjet će, neće umrijeti!
16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
I svi grijesi njegovi što ih bijaše počinio bit će mu zaboravljeni. Radi po zakonu i pravdi, živjet će!'
17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
Ali sinovi naroda tvoga govore: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Njihov put nije pravedan!
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
Ako se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, on će stoga umrijeti.
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
A ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi, on će zbog toga živjeti.
20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
A vi velite: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Svakome ću od vas suditi prema putovima njegovim, dome Izraelov!”
21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
Godine dvanaeste, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana našeg izgnanstva, dođe k meni bjegunac iz Jeruzalema i reče: “Pade grad!”
22 Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
Ruka se Jahvina spustila na me uveče, prije dolaska toga bjegunca, i otvorila mi usta prije negoli on dođe k meni ujutro! Otvoriše mi se, dakle, usta i ja više ne bijah nijem.
23 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
“Sine čovječji, oni koji žive u ovim ruševinama zemlje Izraelove govore: 'Jedan bijaše Abraham i baštini ovu zemlju, a nas je mnogo - nama je zemlja dana u posjed!'
25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
Stoga im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Vi blagujete po gorama, oči podižete kumirima svojim, krv prolijevate - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
Na svoj se mač oslanjate, činite gadosti, oskvrnjujete ženu bližnjega - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?'
27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
Ovo im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Života mi moga, oni koji su u ruševinama od mača će pasti; one koji su u polju dat ću zvijerima da ih proždru; a koji su u utvrdama i po pećinama od kuge će poginuti!
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
Tako ću zemlju ovu razoriti i opustošiti i nestat će zauvijek drskoga njezina ponosa. Opustjet će gore Izraelove i nitko više neće njima prolaziti.
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
I znat će da sam ja Jahve kad zemlju njihovu razorim i opustošim zbog svih gadosti što ih počiniše.'
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
A o tebi, sine čovječji, sinovi naroda tvoga kazuju uza zidove i na kućnim vratima i govore jedan drugom: 'Hajde da čujemo kakva je to riječ došla od Jahve!'
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
I hrle k tebi kao na zbor narodni; i narod moj sjeda preda te i sluša tvoje riječi, ali ih ne izvršuje: naslađuju se njima u ustima, a srce im ide za nepravednim dobitkom.
32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
I gle, ti si za njih kao slatka pjesma uz glazbu otpjevana glasom umilnim: riječi ti slušaju, ali ih ne izvršuju.
33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
Ali kad sve ovo dođe - gle, već dolazi - znat će da prorok bijaše među njima!”
