Ezekiel 14
1 Some elders of Israel arrived and sat down with me.
Uto k meni dođoše neki od starješina Izraelovih i sjedoše preda me.
2 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
3 “Son of man, these men are worshiping idols in their minds even though they know this will lead them to sin. Why should I respond to their requests?
“Sine čovječji! Ti ljudi nose kumire u srcu i upiru oči u ono što ih na grijeh potiče. Pa zar da trpim da u mene traže savjeta?
4 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: When the people of Israel worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin, and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will give them an answer appropriate to their many idols.
Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Tko god iz doma Izraelova nosi u srcu kumire i upire oči u ono što ga na grijeh potiče, a dolazi k proroku, ja, Jahve, odgovorit ću mu prema mnoštvu njegovih kumira,
5 Like this I might have the people of Israel decide to recommit themselves to me. Right now, because of their idols, all of them treat me as their enemy.
da uhvatim za srce dom Izraelov koji se zbog idola svojih odmetnu od mene.'
6 So tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Repent! Give up worshiping your idols Stop all your disgusting practices.
Zato reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Obratite se, odvratite se od kumira svojih! Odvratite lice od gnusoba svojih!
7 When the people of Israel or foreigners living with them worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself.
Jer tko se god iz doma Izraelova i od došljaka koji se nastaniše u Izraelu odmetne od mene i u srcu nosi kumire i upire oči u ono što ga potiče na grijeh, pa unatoč tome dođe k proroku da preko njega u mene traži savjeta, njemu ću ja, Jahve, sam odgovoriti;
8 I will oppose anyone who does this and make any example of them that others will talk about. I will remove them from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
okrenut ću se protiv njega i učinit ću od njega poslovičan primjer: iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve.
9 But if the prophet is deceived into giving a message, it was I the Lord who deceived him to do this. I will still reach out and destroy that prophet from my people Israel.
Ako li se prorok dadne zavesti i progovori, bilo bi to kao da sam ja, Jahve, zaveo toga proroka: ruku ću podići na njega i iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda izraelskoga.
10 They will be responsible for the punishment they receive, as will those who believe in these prophets will receive the same punishment.
Obojica će podjednako snositi grijeh svoj: grijeh prorokov jednak je grijehu onoga koji je u njega tražio savjeta.
11 This is so that the people of Israel won't abandon me anymore and won't make themselves unclean with all their sins. Then they will be my people and I will be their God, declares the Lord God.”
I tako se dom Izraelov više neće odmetati od mene i neće se više kaljati svojim opačinama: on će biti narod moj, a ja ću biti njegov Bog' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
12 A message from the Lord came to me again, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
13 “Son of man, if a people in a country sin against me by being unfaithful to me, then I will act against them by cutting off their food supply, so they experience famine, with no food for people or animals.
“Sine čovječji, zgriješi li koja zemlja protiv mene nevjerom i ja podignem ruku na nju te joj uništim i posljednju pričuvu kruha i pustim na nju glad da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku;
14 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three men, were present their good lives would only save themselves, declares the Lord God.
preostanu li u njoj samo tri čovjeka - Noa, Daniel i Job - ti će se svojom pravednošću spasiti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
15 I could send wild animals rampaging through the country, so they would leave it uninhabited and desolate, a place no one would travel through for fear of such animals.
Također, ako na tu zemlju pustim divlje zvijeri da joj djecu unište a nju pretvore u pustinju, kojom se zbog zvijeri više nitko neće usuditi proći;
16 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves, but the land would be left desolate.
preostanu li u njoj samo ta tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe, a zemlja će njihova postati prava pustinja.
17 I could bring war to that country and say, ‘Have a sword cut through it,’ so that I destroy both people and animals.
Ili, ako ja trgnem mač na tu zemlju govoreći: 'Maču, prođi ovom zemljom!' da istrijebim u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
18 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves.
a u njoj se nađu samo ona tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe.
19 I could send a disease on that country and because of my anger I would kill many, both people and animals.
Ili, ako ja pošaljem na tu zemlju kugu te izlijem na nju gnjev i pokolj da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
20 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were present, they couldn't save their sons or daughters. Their good lives would only save themselves.
a u njoj preostanu samo ona tri čovjeka, Noa, Daniel i Job, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe svojom pravednošću.”
21 This is what the Lord God says: It will be so much worse when I send my four severe judgments against Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease, so that both people and animals are killed!
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ipak, ako na Jeruzalem pustim sva svoja četiri ljuta biča - mač, glad, divlju zvjerad i kugu - da zatrem u njemu sve ljude i stoku,
22 Even so a few of them will survive, some sons and daughters who will be taken captive. They will be brought to you in Babylon, and when you realize what they did and how they acted, you will understand why I had to bring such a disaster down on Jerusalem—everything I did to it.
u njemu će ipak preživjeti Ostatak koji će spasiti sinove i kćeri. I evo, oni će doći k vama da vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela i da se utješite, jer ćete upoznati: što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema, ne učinih bez razloga.
23 Realizing what they did and how they acted will help you to see that I had good reasons to do everything I did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord God.”
Da, kad vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela, utješit ćete se, jer ćete upoznati da ne učinih bez razloga što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
