Ezekiel 20

1 And it happened that, in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, men from the elders of Israel arrived, so that they might inquire 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 Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Have you arrived in order to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, says the Lord God.

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 If you judge them, if you judge, O son of man, reveal to them the abominations 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 God: In the day when I chose Israel, and I lifted up my hand on behalf of the stock of the house of Jacob, and I appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and I lifted up my hand on their behalf, 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 lifted up my hand for their sake, so that I would lead them away from the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which was singular among all lands.

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 each one cast away the offenses of his eyes, and do not choose to defile yourselves with the idols 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 provoked me, and they were not willing to listen to me. Each one of them did not cast away the abominations of his eyes, nor did they leave behind the idols of Egypt. And so, I said that I would pour out my indignation upon them, and fulfill my wrath against them, in the midst of the land 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 acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I appeared to them, so that I might lead them away from 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 Therefore, I cast them out of the land of Egypt, and I led them away into the desert.

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

11 And I gave them my precepts, and I revealed to them my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them.

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

12 Moreover, I also gave to them my Sabbaths, so that these would be a sign between me and them, and so that they would know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

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

13 But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert. They did not walk in my precepts, and they cast aside my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they grievously violated my Sabbaths. Therefore, I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, and that I would 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 acted for the sake of my name, lest it be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, in their sight.

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

15 And so I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, so as not to lead them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, the foremost of 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 For they cast aside my judgments, and they did not walk in my precepts, and they violated my Sabbaths. For their heart went after idols.

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

17 Yet my eye was lenient concerning them, so that I did not utterly destroy them, nor did I consume them in the desert.

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

18 Then I said to their sons in the wilderness: ‘Do not choose to advance by the precepts of your fathers, nor should you observe their judgments. And do not be defiled by their idols.

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 precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them.

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

20 And sanctify my Sabbaths, so that these may be a sign between me and you, and so 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 their sons provoked me. They did not walk in my precepts. And they did not observe my judgments, so as to do them; for if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they violated my Sabbaths. And so, I threatened that I would pour out my fury upon them, and that I would fulfill my wrath among them in the desert.

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 turned aside my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, before their eyes.

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

23 Again, I lifted up my hand against them, in the wilderness, so that I would disperse them among the nations, and scatter them among the lands.

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

24 For they had not accomplished my judgments, and they had rejected my precepts, and they had violated my Sabbaths. And their eyes had been after the idols 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 Therefore, I also gave them precepts that were not good, and judgments by which they shall not live.

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

26 And I defiled them by their own gifts, when they offered everything that opened the womb, because of their offenses. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

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

27 For this reason, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God. Yet also in this did your fathers blaspheme me, after they had spurned and despised 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 though I had led them into the land, about which I lifted up my hand, so that I might give it to them: They saw every lofty hill and every leafy tree, and there they immolated their victims, and there they presented the provocation of their oblations, and there they stationed their sweet fragrances, and poured out their libations.

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 exalted about the place to which you go?’ And yet its name is called ‘Exalted,’ even to this day.

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

30 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Certainly, you are defiled by the way of your fathers, and you have fornicated after their stumbling blocks.

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 you are being defiled by all of your idols, even to this day, by the oblation of your gifts, when you lead your sons through the fire. And should I respond to you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not answer you.

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 the plan of your mind will not occur, saying: ‘We will be like the Gentiles, and like the families of the earth, so that we worship what is wood and stone.’

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

33 As I live, says the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured forth.

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

34 And I will lead you away from the peoples. And I will gather you from the lands into which you were dispersed. I will reign over you with a powerful hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

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 lead you into the desert of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you, face to face.

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

36 Just as I contended in judgment against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so also will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord God.

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

37 And I will subject you to my scepter, and I will lead you into the bonds of the covenant.

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

38 And I will select, from among you, the transgressors and the impious. And I will lead them away from the land of their sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am 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 for you, house of Israel: thus says the Lord God: Walk, each one of you, after your idols and serve them. But if in this also you will not listen to me, and you continue to defile my holy name with your gifts and with your idols,

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 on my holy mountain, on the exalted mountain of Israel, says the Lord God, there all the house of Israel shall serve me; all of them, I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there I will require your first-fruits, and the foremost of your tithes, with all your sanctifications.

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 receive from you a fragrance of sweetness, when I will have led you away from the peoples, and gathered you from the lands into which you were dispersed. And I will be sanctified in you before the eyes 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 will have led you into the land of Israel, into the land about which I lifted up my hand, so that I would 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 there you shall remember your ways and all your wickedness, by which you have been defiled. And you will be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, over all your evil deeds which you did.

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 will have acted well toward you for the sake of my name, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your very great wickedness, O house of Israel, says the Lord God.”

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 the way of the south, and pour in drops toward Africa, and prophesy against the forest of the field of the meridian.

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 meridian forest: Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and I will burn up within you every green tree and every dry tree. The flame of the kindling will not be extinguished. And every face will be burned up within it, from the south, even 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 will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it, and that it will not be extinguished.”

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

49 And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! They are saying about me: ‘Does this man not speak except through parables?’”

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