Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 “Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them, appointing him as their watchman,
Sine èovjeèji, govori sinovima naroda svojega, i kaži im: kad pustim na koju zemlju maè, ako narod one zemlje uzme koga izmeðu sebe, i postave ga sebi za stražara,
3 and he sees the sword coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to warn the people.
I on vidjevši maè gdje ide na zemlju zatrubi u trubu, i opomene narod,
4 Then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
Ako se ko èuvši trubu ne uzme na um, i maè došavši pogubi ga, krv æe njegova biti na njegovoj glavi.
5 Since he heard the sound of the horn but failed to heed the warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.
Jer èu glas trubni, i ne uze se na um, krv æe njegova biti na njemu; da se uze na um, saèuvao bi dušu svoju.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.’
Ako li stražar vidjevši maè gdje ide ne zatrubi u trubu i narod ne bude opomenut, a maè došav pogubi koga izmeðu njih, taj æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz ruke stražareve.
7 As for you, O son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word from My mouth and give them the warning from Me.
I tebe, sine èovjeèji, tebe postavih stražarem domu Izrailjevu; slušaj dakle rijeè iz mojih usta i opominji ih od mene.
8 If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ but you do not speak out to dissuade him from his way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity, yet I will hold you accountable for his blood.
Kad reèem bezbožniku: bezbožnièe, poginuæeš; a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se proðe puta svojega; taj æe bezbožnik poginuti za svoje bezakonje; ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz tvoje ruke.
9 But if you warn the wicked man to turn from his way, and he does not turn from it, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
Ako li ti opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati sa svoga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svoga puta, on æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, a ti æeš saèuvati dušu svoju.
10 Now as for you, son of man, tell the house of Israel that this is what they have said: ‘Our transgressions and our sins are heavy upon us, and we are wasting away because of them! How can we live?’
Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci domu Izrailjevu: vi govorite ovako i kažete: prijestupi naši i grijesi naši na nama su, i s njih propadamo; kako bismo živjeli?
11 Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’
Reci im: tako bio ja živ, govori Gospod Gospod, nije mi milo da umre bezbožnik, nego da se vrati bezbožnik sa svoga puta i bude živ; vratite se, vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih, jer zašto da mrete, dome Izrailjev?
12 Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’
Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci sinovima naroda svojega: pravednoga neæe izbaviti pravda njegova kad zgriješi, i bezbožnik neæe propasti sa bezbožnosti svoje kad se vrati od bezbožnosti svoje, kao što pravednik ne može s nje živjeti kad zgriješi.
13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.
Kad reèem pravedniku da æe doista živjeti, a on se pouzda u pravdu svoju pa uèini nepravdu, od sve pravde njegove ništa se neæe spomenuti, nego æe poginuti s nepravde svoje koju uèini.
14 But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—
A kad reèem bezbožniku: doista æeš poginuti, a on se obrati od grijeha svojega i stane èiniti sud i pravdu,
15 if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.
I vrati bezbožnik zalog, i vrati što je oteo, i stane hoditi po uredbama životnijem ne èineæi bezakonja, doista æe biti živ, neæe umrijeti.
16 None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
Od svijeh grijeha što je zgriješio ništa mu se neæe spomenuti; èinio je sud i pravdu, doista æe živ biti.
17 Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.
A sinovi naroda tvojega govore: nije prav put Gospodnji; a njihov put nije prav.
18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i uèini nepravdu, poginuæe s toga.
19 But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.
A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i uèini sud i pravdu, on æe živ biti s toga.
20 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
A vi govorite: nije prav put Gospodnji. Sudiæu vam, dome Izrailjev, svakome po putovima njegovijem.
21 In the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken!”
A dvanaeste godine robovanja našega, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana doðe k meni jedan koji uteèe iz Jerusalima, i reèe: uze se grad.
22 Now the evening before the fugitive arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.
A ruka Gospodnja doðe nada me uveèe prije nego doðe onaj što uteèe, i otvori mi usta dokle onaj doðe k meni ujutru; otvoriše mi se usta, te više ne muèah.
23 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
24 “Son of man, those living in the ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.’
Sine èovjeèji, koji žive u onijem pustolinama u zemlji Izrailjevoj govore i kažu: Avram bijaše jedan, i naslijedi ovu zemlju; a nas je mnogo; nama je data ova zemlja u našljedstvo.
25 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?
Zato im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: jedete s krvlju, i oèi svoje podižete ka gadnijem bogovima svojim, i krv proljevate, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?
26 You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?’
Opirete se na maè svoj, èinite gadove, i skvrnite svaki ženu bližnjega svojega, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?
27 Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, those in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I will give to be devoured by wild animals, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.
Ovako im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, koji su u pustolinama, pašæe od maèa; i koji je u polju, zvijerima æu ga dati da ga izjedu; a koji su po gradovima i po peæinama, od pomora æe pomrijeti.
28 I will make the land a desolate waste, and the pride of her strength will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will become desolate, so that no one will pass through.
Tako æu sasvijem opustiti tu zemlju, i nestaæe ponosa sile njezine, i opustjeæe gore Izrailjeve da neæe niko prolaziti.
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the abominations they have committed.’
I oni æe poznati da sam ja Gospod kad zemlju sasvijem opustim za sve gadove njihove što èiniše.
30 As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’
A o tebi, sine èovjeèji, sinovi naroda tvojega kazuju o tebi uza zidove i na vratima kuænijem, i govore jedan drugomu, svaki bratu svojemu, i vele: hodite i èujte kaka rijeè doðe od Gospoda.
31 So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest gain.
I dolaze k tebi kao kad se narod skuplja, i narod moj sjeda pred tobom, i sluša rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuje; u ustima su im ljupke a srce njihovo ide za svojim lakomstvom.
32 Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, who skillfully plays an instrument. They hear your words but do not put them into practice.
I gle, ti si im kao ljupka pjesma, kao èovjek lijepa glasa i koji dobro svira; slušaju rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuju.
33 So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
Ali kad to doðe, a evo ide, onda æe poznati da je bio prorok meðu njima.
