Ezekiel 9
1 And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his hand.
Tada zagrmje na moje uši i reče: “Kazne grada! Priđite svaka sa svojim zatornim oružjem u ruci!”
2 And behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen altar.
I gle, dođoše šestorica ljudi s gornjih vrata, što su okrenuta k sjeveru, svaki sa svojim zatornim oružjem u ruci. Među njima bijaše i jedan odjeven u lan, s pisarskim priborom za pojasom. Uđoše oni i stadoše uz tučani žrtvenik.
3 And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer’s inkhorn at his loins.
A Slava Boga Izraelova vinu se s kerubina, nad kojima lebdijaše, prema pragu Doma. I pozva čovjeka odjevena u lan, koji imaše za pojasom pisarski pribor,
4 And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
te mu reče: “Prođi gradom Jeruzalemom i znakom 'tau' obilježi čela sviju koji tuguju i plaču zbog gnusoba što se u njemu čine!”
5 And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.
A drugima reče na moje uši: “Pođite za njim gradom i ubijajte bez milosrđa. Oči vaše neka se ne sažale i nemajte smilovanja.
6 Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who mere before the house.
Pobijte starce, mladiće, djevojke, djecu i žene; istrijebite ih sve do posljednjega. Ali na kome bude znak 'tau', njega ne dirajte. Počnite od mojega Svetišta!” I oni počeše od starješina koji stajahu pred Domom.
7 And he said to them: Defile the house, and ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city.
I reče im: “Oskvrnite Dom moj i napunite mu predvorje truplima! Krenite!” I oni iziđoše te zaredaše ubijati gradom.
8 And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Dok su oni klali, ja ostadoh, bacih se ničice i zavapih: “Jao, Jahve Gospode! Zar ćeš zaista uništiti sve što preostade od Izraela da iskališ svoj gnjev nad Jeruzalemom?”
9 And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
Reče mi: “Veoma je veliko bezakonje doma Izraelova i doma Judina; zemlja je puna krvi, a grad krcat zločina. Govore: 'Jahve je ostavio zemlju! Ne vidi Jahve!'
10 Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head.
I zato se moje oči neće sažaliti i neću im se smilovati: djela ću im njihova oboriti na glavu!”
11 And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me.
I gle, čovjek odjeven u lan, koji imaše za pojasom pisarski pribor, javi vijesti: “Učinih kako si mi zapovjedio!”
