Jezekiel 20

1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, on the fifteenth day of the month, there came men of the elders of the house of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.

A sedme godine, petoga mjeseca, dana desetoga, doðoše neki od starješina Izrailjevijeh da upitaju Gospoda, i sjedoše preda mnom.

2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

3 Son of man, speak to the elders of the house of Israel, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Are you come to enquire of me? [As] I live, I will not be enquired of by you, says the Lord.

Sine èovjeèji, kaži starješinama Izrailjevijem i reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: doðoste li da me pitate? Tako ja živ bio, neæete me pitati, govori Gospod Gospod.

4 Shall I utterly take vengeance on them, son of man? testify to them of the iniquities of their fathers:

Hoæeš li da im sudiš? hoæeš li da im sudiš? sine èovjeèji. Pokaži im gadove otaca njihovijeh.

5 and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; From the day that I chose the house of Israel, and became known to the seed of the house of Jacob, and was known to them in the land of Egypt, and helped them with my hand, saying, I am the Lord your God;

I reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: kojega dana izabrah Izrailja i podigoh ruku svoju sjemenu doma Jakovljeva, i pokazah im se u zemlji Misirskoj, i podigoh im ruku svoju govoreæi: ja sam Gospod Bog vaš;

6 in that day I helped them with my hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into the land which I prepared for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is abundant beyond every land.

Onoga dana podigoh im ruku svoju da æu ih odvesti iz zemlje Misirske u zemlju koju sam pronašao za njih, gdje teèe mlijeko i med, koja je dika svijem zemljama.

7 And I said to them, Let every one cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the devices of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

I rekoh im: odbacite svaki gadove ispred svojih oèiju, i nemojte se skvrniti o gadne bogove Misirske, ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

8 But they revolted from me, and would not listen to me: they cast not away the abominations of their eyes, and forsook not the devices of Egypt: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my wrath upon them in the midst of Egypt.

Ali se odvrgoše od mene, i ne htješe me poslušati, nijedan ih ne odbaci gadova ispred oèiju svojih, i gadnijeh bogova Misirskih ne ostaviše; zato rekoh da æu izliti jarost svoju na njih da izvršim gnjev svoj na njima usred zemlje Misirske.

9 But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they are, amongst whom I was made known to them in their sight, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

Ali imena svojega radi, da se ne oskvrni pred onijem narodima meðu kojima bijahu, pred kojima im se pokazah, uèinih da ih izvedem iz zemlje Misirske.

10 And I brought them into the wilderness.

I izvedoh ih iz zemlje Misirske, i dovedoh ih u pustinju.

11 And I gave them my commandments, and made known to them mine ordinances, all which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them.

I dadoh im uredbe svoje, i objavih im zakone svoje, koje ko vrši živ æe biti kroz njih.

12 And I gave them my sabbaths, that they should be for a sign between me and them, that they should know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

I subote svoje dadoh im da su znak izmeðu mene i njih da bi znali da sam ja Gospod koji ih posveæujem.

13 And I said to the house of Israel in the wilderness, Walk you in my commandments: but they walked not [in them], and they rejected mine ordinances, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them; and they grievously profaned my sabbaths: and I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Ali se odvrže od mene dom Izrailjev u pustinji; ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i zakone moje odbaciše, koje ko vrši živi kroz njih, i subote moje grdno oskvrniše; zato rekoh da æu izliti gnjev svoj na njih u pustinji da ih istrijebim.

14 But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned before the Gentiles, before whose eyes I brought them out.

Ali uèinih imena svojega radi da se ne oskvrni pred narodima pred kojima ih izvedoh.

15 But I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness once for all, that I would not bring them into the land which I gave them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is sweeter than all lands:

I ja im još podigoh ruku svoju u pustinji da ih neæu odvesti u zemlju koju im dadoh, gdje teèe mlijeko i med, koja je dika svijem zemljama;

16 because they rejected mine ordinances, and walked not in my commandments, but profaned my sabbaths, and went after the imaginations of their hearts.

Jer odbaciše moje zakone i po uredbama mojim ne hodiše, i subote moje oskvrniše, jer srce njihovo iðaše za gadnijem bogovima njihovijem.

17 Yet mine eyes spared them, so as [not] to destroy them utterly, and I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.

Ali ih požali oko moje, te ih ne istrijebih, i ne zatrh ih u pustinji.

18 And I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk not you in the customs of your fathers, and keep not their ordinances, and have no fellowship with their practices, nor defile yourselves [with them].

Nego rekoh sinovima njihovijem u pustinji: ne idite po uredbama otaca svojih i ne držite njihovijeh zakona, i ne skvrnite se gadnijem bogovima njihovijem.

19 I [am] the Lord your God; walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;

Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš, po mojim uredbama hodite, i moje zakone držite i izvršujte;

20 and hallow my sabbaths, and let them be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.

I subote moje svetkujte da su znak izmeðu mene i vas, da znate da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš.

21 But they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them.

Ali se odvrgoše od mene i sinovi, ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i zakona mojih ne držaše da ih izvršuju, koje ko vrši živi kroz njih; subote moje oskvrniše; zato rekoh da æu izliti jarost svoju na njih i navršiti gnjev svoj na njima u pustinji.

22 But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight.

Ali povratih ruku svoju i uèinih imena svojega radi da se ne oskvrni pred narodima pred kojima ih izvedoh.

23 I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them amongst the Gentiles, [and] disperse them in the countries;

I ja im još podigoh ruku svoju u pustinji da æu ih rasijati po narodima i razasuti po zemljama.

24 because they kept not mine ordinances, and rejected my commandments, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes went after the imaginations of their fathers.

Jer zakona mojih ne izvršivaše i uredbe moje odbaciše i subote moje oskvrniše, i oèi im gledahu za gadnijem bogovima otaca njihovijeh.

25 So I gave them commandments [that were] not good, and ordinances in which they should not live.

Zato im i ja dadoh uredbe ne dobre i zakone kroz koje neæe živjeti.

26 And I will defile them by their [own] decrees, when I pass through upon every one that opens the womb, that I may destroy them.

I oskvrnih ih darovima njihovijem što propuštahu kroz oganj sve što otvori matericu, da ih potrem, da poznadu da sam ja Gospod.

27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord: Hitherto have your fathers provoked me in their trespasses in which they transgressed against me.

Zato govori domu Izrailjevu, sine èovjeèji, i kaži im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: još me i ovijem ružiše oci vaši èineæi mi bezakonje:

28 Whereas I brought them into the land concerning which I lifted up mine hand to give it them; and they looked upon every high hill, and every shady tree, and they sacrificed there to their gods, and offered there sweet smelling savour, and there they poured out their drink-offerings.

Kad ih odvedoh u zemlju, za koju podigoh ruku svoju da æu im je dati, gdje god vidješe visok hum i drvo granato, ondje prinosiše svoje žrtve i stavljaše svoje dare, kojima dražahu, i metaše mirise svoje ugodne, i ondje ljevaše naljeve svoje.

29 And I said to them, What is Abama, that you go in there? and they called its name Abama, until this day.

I rekoh im: šta je visina, na koju idete? I opet se zove visina do danas.

30 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Do you pollute yourselves with the iniquities of your fathers, and do you go a-whoring after their abominations,

Zato reci domu Izrailjevu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ne skvrnite li se na putu otaca svojih? i za gadovima njihovijem ne kurvate li se?

31 and [do you pollute yourselves] with the first fruits of your gifts, in the offerings wherewith you pollute yourselves in all your imaginations, until this day; and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, says the Lord, I will not answer you, neither shall this thing come upon your spirit.

I prinoseæi dare svoje, provodeæi sinove svoje kroz oganj ne skvrnite li se o sve gadne bogove svoje do danas, i mene li æete pitati, dome Izrailjev? Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neæete me pitati.

32 And it shall not be as you say, We will be as the nations, and as the tribes of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.

A šta mislite, neæe biti nikako, što govorite: biæemo kao narodi, kao plemena po zemljama, služeæi drvetu i kamenu.

33 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a high arm, and with outpoured wrath:

Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom i izlivenijem gnjevom carovaæu nad vama.

34 I will bring you out from the nations, and will take you out of the lands wherein you were dispersed, with a strong hand, and with a high arm, and with outpoured wrath.

I izvešæu vas iz naroda, i sabraæu vas iz zemalja po kojima ste rasijani, rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom i izlivenijem gnjevom.

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, and will plead with you there face to face.

I odvešæu vas u pustinju tijeh naroda, i ondje æu se suditi s vama licem k licu.

36 As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I judge you, says the Lord.

Kako sam se sudio s ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje Misirske, tako æu se suditi s vama, govori Gospod Gospod.

37 And I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will bring you in by number.

I propustiæu vas ispod štapa i dovesti vas u sveze zavjetne.

38 And I will separate from amongst you the ungodly and the revolters; for I will lead them forth out of their place of sojourning, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord, [even] the Lord.

I odluèiæu izmeðu vas odmetnike i koji odustaju mene; izvešæu ih iz zemlje gdje su došljaci, ali neæe uæi u zemlju Izrailjevu, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod.

39 And [as to] you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord; Put away each one his [evil] practices, and hereafter if you listen to me, then shall you no more profane my holy name by your gifts and by devices.

Vi dakle, dome Izrailjev, ovako veli Gospod Gospod: idite, služite svaki gadnijem bogovima svojim i unapredak, kad neæete da me slušate; ali imena mojega svetoga ne skvrnite više darovima svojim i gadnijem bogovima svojim.

40 For upon my holy mountain, on the high mountain, says the Lord, [even] the Lord, there shall all the house of Israel serve me for ever: and there will I accept [you], and there will I have respect to your first fruits, and the first fruits of your offerings, in all your holy things.

Jer na mojoj gori svetoj, na visokoj gori Izrailjevoj, govori Gospod Gospod, ondje æe mi služiti sav dom Izrailjev, koliko ih god bude u zemlji, ondje æe mi biti mili i ondje æu iskati prinose vaše i prvine od darova vaših sa svijem svetijem stvarima vašim.

41 I will accept you with a sweet smelling savour, when I bring you out from the nations, and take you out of the countries wherein you have been dispersed; and I will be sanctified amongst you in the sight of the nations.

Mili æete mi biti s ugodnijem mirisom, kad vas izvedem iz naroda i saberem vas iz zemalja u koje ste rasijani; i biæu posveæen u vama pred narodima.

42 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.

I poznaæete da sam ja Gospod kad vas dovedem u zemlju Izrailjevu, u zemlju za koju podigoh ruku svoju da æu je dati ocima vašim.

43 And you shall there remember your ways, and your devices wherewith you defiled yourselves; and you shall bewail yourselves for all your wickedness.

I ondje æete se opomenuti putova svojih i svijeh djela svojih, kojima se oskvrniste, i sami æete sebi biti mrski za sva zla svoja koja èiniste.

44 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have done thus to you, that my name may not be profaned in your evil ways, and in your corrupt devices, says the Lord.

I poznaæete da sam ja Gospod kad vam uèinim radi imena svojega; ne po vašim zlijem putovima niti po opakim djelima vašim, dome Izrailjev, govori Gospod Gospod.

45 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

46 Son of man, set your face against Thaeman, and look towards Darom, and prophesy against the chief forest of Nageb,

Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje na jug i pokaplji prema jugu, i prorokuj na šumu u južnom polju.

47 and you shall say to the forest of Nageb, Hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord; Behold, I [will] kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour in you every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame that is kindled shall not be quenched, and every face shall be scorched with it from the south to the north.

I reci šumi južnoj: èuj rijeè Gospodnju, ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo ja æu raspaliti u tebi oganj koji æe proždrijeti u tebi svako drvo zeleno i svako drvo suho; plamen razgorjeli neæe se ugasiti, i izgorjeæe od njega sve od juga do sjevera.

48 And all flesh shall know that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

I svako æe tijelo vidjeti da sam ja zapalio; neæe se ugasiti.

49 And I said, Not so, O Lord God! they say to me, Is not this that is spoken a parable?

A ja rekoh: jaoh Gospode Gospode, oni govore za me: ne govori li taj same prièe?
