Ezekiel 24
1 And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Godine devete, devetoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem.
“Sine čovječji, zapiši ovaj dan: upravo danas kralj babilonski zaposjede Jeruzalem.
3 And propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it.
Pripovijedaj domu odmetničkom prispodobu. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Pristavi lonac, pristavi i nalij vode u nj!
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones:
Baci u nj komade, sve najbolje komade mesa, but i pleće! Napuni ga ponajboljim kostima!
5 take the choice of the flock; and also [put] a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe therein.
Uzmi najbolje od stada. Pod loncem vatru naloži. Neka dobro uzavri, neka se u njemu skuhaju i kosti.'
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it:
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkom, zahrđalu loncu s kojega se hrđa ne skida! A zatim komad po komad iz njega izvadi, ali za nj ne bacaj kÓockÄe!
7 for her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust.
Jer krv je njegova u njemu - na golu je kamenu ostavi, po zemlji je ne razlij gdje bi je prašina mogla prekriti!
8 That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Da se gnjev moj raspali, da mu odmazdim, ostavih krv njegovu na kamenu golom, da se ne pokrije.'
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkome, jer ću veliku lomaču naložiti!
10 Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Skupi drva, vatru potpali, skuhaj meso, primiješaj začina, nek' izgore i kosti!
11 Then set it empty upon its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, [and] that its rust may be consumed.
A zatim ga prazna na žeravicu pristavi da mjed mu se usija i nečistoća njegova sva se rastopi, da se uništi hrđa na njemu!
12 She hath exhausted [her] labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire.
Grdne li muke! Ali se velika hrđa ne dade s njega skinuti: i vatri odolje.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness, for I have purged thee, and thou art not pure. Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness, till I have satisfied my fury upon thee.
Sramotan je grijeh tvoj: htjedoh te očistiti, ali se ti ne htjede od grijeha očistiti; i zbog toga se više nećeš očistiti dok nad tobom ne iskalim gnjev svoj!
14 I Jehovah have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ja, Jahve, rekoh! I riječ ću ispuniti; neću popustiti: I neću se smilovati niti ću se pokajati! Sudit ću te po putovima tvojim i po djelima tvojim! - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
15 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet thou shalt not mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
“Sine čovječji, evo, nenadanom smrću oduzet ću ti radost očinju! Ne tuguj, ne plači i ne roni suza!
17 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men.
Jecaj tiho, ali ne žali kao što se za mrtvima žali! I povij oko glave povez, a na noge obuj sandale. Ne prekrivaj brade i ne jedi žalobničke pogače.”
18 — And I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Ujutro tako prorokovah narodu, a uveče mi žena umrije te sutradan uradih kao što mi bijaše zapovjeđeno.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, which thou doest?
Narod me na to zapita: “Nećeš li nam reći što znači za nas to što ti radiš?”
20 And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ja im odgovorih: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
21 Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
“Reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, oskvrnut ću svoje Svetište, vaš ponos snažni, radost vam očinju i čežnju duše vaše! I sinovi i kćeri koje ostaviste, od mača će pasti!
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men;
Tada ćete uraditi kao što i ja uradih: nećete prekrivati brade i nećete jesti žalobničke pogače!
23 and your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your sandals upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall waste away in your iniquities and moan one toward another.
Povit ćete povez oko glave i obuti na noge sandale! I nećete više tugovati ni plakati, nego ćete čiljeti zbog svojih nedjela i jecati jedan za drugim!
24 Thus Ezekiel shall be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when it cometh, then ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
A Ezekiel će vam biti primjer: učinit ćete sve što je i on činio. Kad se to zbude, spoznat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereunto they lift up their soul, their sons and their daughters,
A ti, sine čovječji, doista u dan kad im oduzmem snagu, dičnu radost njihovu, radost im očinju, slast duše njihove, sinove i kćeri njihove -
26 that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause [thine] ears to hear [it]?
u taj će dan k tebi stići bjegunac da ti to dojavi!
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb. So shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
U taj će se dan tvoja usta otvoriti, i ti ćeš tom bjeguncu progovoriti; nećeš više biti nijem. I tako ćeš im biti znak. I oni će spoznati da sam ja Jahve!”
