< Ezekiel 17 >
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
Sine èovjeèji, zagoneni zagonetku i kaži prièu o domu Izrailjevu,
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings, long-pinioned, full of feathers, which was of divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar.
I reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: orao velik, velikih krila, dugih pera, pun perja, šaren, doðe na Livan i uze vrh od kedra,
4 He cropped off the top of its young shoots, and carried it into a merchants' land; he set it in a city of traders.
Odlomi vrh od mladijeh grana njegovijeh, i odnese ga u zemlju trgovaèku, u grad trgovaèki metnu ga.
5 And he took of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, he set it as a willow tree.
I uze sjeme iz one zemlje, i metnu ga na njivu, odnese ga gdje ima mnogo vode, i ostavi ga dobro.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, so that its branches should turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; and it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
I iznièe, i posta busat èokot, nizak, kojemu se loze pružahu k njemu a žile bijahu pod njim; posta èokot, i pusti grane i izbi odvode.
7 And there was another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and behold, from the beds of her plantation, this vine did bend her roots unto him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it.
A bijaše drugi orao velik, velikih krila i pernat, i gle, taj èokot pusti k njemu žile svoje i grane svoje pruži k njemu da bi ga zaljevao iz brazda svoga sada.
8 It was planted in a good field by many waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a noble vine.
Posaðen bijaše u dobroj zemlji kod mnogo vode, da pusti grane i raða rod i bude krasna loza.
9 Say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? All its fresh sprouting leaves shall wither, even without a great arm and many people to pluck it up by its roots.
Kaži: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: hoæe li napredovati? neæe li mu poèupati žile i rod mu oblomiti da se posuši? Sve æe mu se grane što je pustio posušiti, i bez velike sile i bez mnogoga naroda išèupaæe ga iz korijena.
10 And behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew.
Eto, posaðen je, hoæe li napredovati? i neæe li se sasvijem posušiti èim ga se dohvati ustoka? Posušiæe se u brazdi gdje je posaðen.
11 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things are? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon.
Kaži tome domu odmetnièkom: ne znate li šta je ovo? Reci: evo, doðe car Vavilonski u Jerusalim, i uze mu cara i knezove, i odvede ih sa sobom u Vavilon.
13 And he took of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land;
I uze jednoga od carskoga sjemena, i uèini s njim vjeru, i zakle ga, i uze silne u zemlji,
14 that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to stand.
Da bi carstvo bilo sniženo da se ne bi podiglo, nego da bi držeæi vjeru s njim stajalo.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
Ali se odmetnu od njega poslav poslanike svoje u Misir da mu da konja i mnogo naroda. Hoæe li biti sreæan? hoæe li uteæi ko tako èini? ko prestupa vjeru hoæe li uteæi?
16 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily in the place of the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die.
Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, u mjestu onoga cara koji ga je zacario, kojemu je zakletvu prezreo i kojemu je vjeru prestupio, kod njega æe u Vavilonu umrijeti.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with a mighty army and a great assemblage do anything for him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
Niti æe mu Faraon s velikom vojskom i mnogim narodom pomoæi u ratu, kad iskopa opkope i pogradi kule da pogubi mnoge duše.
18 He despised the oath, and broke the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, yet hath he done all these things: he shall not escape.
Jer prezre zakletvu prestupajuæi vjeru; i gle, davši ruku èini sve to; neæe uteæi.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily, mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his head.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, obratiæu mu na glavu zakletvu svoju koju prezre i vjeru svoju koju prestupi.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his unfaithfulness in which he hath been unfaithful against me.
Jer æu razapeti nad njim mrežu svoju i uhvatiæe se u zamku moju; i odvešæu ga u Vavilon, i ondje æu se suditi s njim za bezakonje koje mi uèini.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I Jehovah have spoken.
I sva bježan njegova sa svom vojskom njegovom pašæe od maèa, a koji ostanu raspršaæe se u sve vjetrove, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod govorio.
22 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the highest branch of the lofty cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of its young shoots a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and eminent mountain:
Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ali æu ja uzeti s vrha od toga visokoga kedra, i posadiæu; s vrha od mladijeh grana njegovijeh odlomiæu granèicu, i posadiæu na gori visokoj i uzdignutoj.
23 upon the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar; and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
Na visokoj gori Izrailjevoj posadiæu je, i pustiæe grane, i rodiæe, i postaæe krasan kedar, i pod njim æe nastavati svakojake ptice, u hladu grana njegovijeh nastavaæe.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I Jehovah have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree to flourish: I Jehovah have spoken, and will do [it].
I sva æe drveta poljska poznati da ja Gospod snizih visoko drvo i uzvisih nisko drvo, posuših zeleno drvo i uèinih da ozeleni suho drvo. Ja Gospod rekoh, i uèiniæu.
