Ezekiel 21
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 “Son of man, face towards Jerusalem and condemn their places of worship. Prophesy against the people living in Israel
Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje prema Jerusalimu, i pokaplji prema svetijem mjestima, i prorokuj protiv zemlje Izrailjeve.
3 and tell them that this is what the Lord says: Watch out, because I'm going to attack you! I'm going to take out my sword and destroy you, both the good and the bad.
I reci zemlji Izrailjevoj: ovako veli Gospod: evo me na te; izvuæi æu maè svoj iz korica, i istrijebiæu iz tebe pravednoga i bezbožnoga.
4 Because I'm going to destroy both the good and the bad, I will attack everyone from the north to the south.
Da istrijebim iz tebe pravednoga i bezbožnoga, zato æe izaæi maè moj iz korica svojih na svako tijelo od juga do sjevera.
5 Then the whole world will know that I, the Lord, have taken out my sword, and won't put it back again.
I poznaæe svako tijelo da sam ja Gospod izvukao maè svoj iz korica njegovijeh, neæe se više vratiti.
6 You, son of man, you are to groan. Groan as if you're broken up inside, showing terrible sadness while they watch you.
A ti, sine èovjeèji, uzdiši kao da su ti bedra polomljena, i gorko uzdiši pred njima.
7 When they ask, ‘What are you groaning for?’ you are to tell them, ‘Because of the news that's coming. All of you will lose your courage and you'll be paralyzed with fear. All of you will be weak with worry—you won't be able to stand up!’ Watch out, because it's coming! It's going to happen! declares the Lord God.”
A kada ti reku: zašto uzdišeš? ti reci: za glas što ide, od kojega æe se rastopiti svako srce i klonuti sve ruke i svakoga æe duha nestati, i svaka æe koljena postati kao voda; evo, ide, i navršiæe se, govori Gospod Gospod.
8 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
9 “Son of man, prophesy! Tell them this is what the Lord says: There's a sword, a sword that's being sharpened and polished.
Sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: reci: maè, maè je naoštren, i uglaðen je.
10 It's sharpened for killing and polished so it will flash like lightning! (Are we to be happy, saying, ‘The scepter of my son despises every other stick’?)
Naoštren je da kolje, uglaðen je da sijeva; hoæemo li se radovati kad prut sina mojega ne haje ni za kako drvo?
11 The sword is being polished right now, ready to be used. It's sharp and polished, ready to be handed over to the killer.
Dao ga je da se ugladi da se uzme u ruku; maè je naoštren i uglaðen, da se da u ruku ubici.
12 Weep and wail, son of man, and slap your thigh in grief, for the sword is going to be used to attack my people, to attack all the leaders of Israel! They will be thrown away, killed by the sword along with my people.
Vièi i ridaj, sine èovjeèji; jer on ide na narod moj, na sve knezove Izrailjeve; pod maè æe biti okrenuti s narodom mojim, zato udri se po bedru.
13 They will be tested. What if the scepter that despises others doesn't continue? declares the Lord God.
Kad bješe karanje, šta bi? eda li ni od pruta koji ne haje neæe biti ništa? govori Gospod Gospod.
14 So son of man, prophesy and clap your hands. The sword will attack twice, and then a third time. It is a sword of death, killing many people by coming at them from every direction.
Ti dakle, sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i pljeskaj rukama, jer æe maè doæi i drugom i treæom, maè koji ubija, maè koji velike ubija, koji prodire u klijeti.
15 I have placed a sword at all the gates of their city so that they may lose their courage, and many may fall. Oh no! It's made to flash like lightning and used to kill.
Da se rastope srca i umnoži pogibao, metnuo sam na sva vrata njihova strah od maèa; jaoh! pripravljen je da sijeva, naoštren da kolje.
16 Slash right and left, whichever way you're facing.
Stegni se, udri nadesno, nalijevo, kuda se god obrneš.
17 I will also clap my hands, and then my anger will be over. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Jer æu i ja pljeskati rukama, i namiriæu gnjev svoj. Ja Gospod rekoh.
18 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Još mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
19 “Son of man, mark the two roads that the king of Babylon's army could take, beginning from the same country. Make a signpost where the road forks, leading to two different cities.
A ti, sine èovjeèji, naèini dva puta, kuda æe doæi maè cara Vavilonskoga; iz jedne zemlje neka izlaze oba; i izberi stranu, gdje se poèinje put gradski, izberi.
20 Have one sign point down the road for an attack on the Ammonite city of Rabbah, and another to attack Judah and the fortified city of Jerusalem.
Naèini put, kojim æe doæi maè na Ravu sinova Amonovijeh, i u Judeju na tvrdi Jerusalim.
21 The king of Babylon is standing at the fork in the road where the two roads meet looking for a prophetic sign: he casts lots using arrows, he asks advice from idols, and he examines the liver of sacrificial animals.
Jer æe car Vavilonski stati na rasputici, gdje poèinju dva puta, te æe vraèati, gladiæe strijele, pitaæe likove, gledaæe u jetru.
22 He holds the sign for Jerusalem in his right hand. This is where he is going to set up battering rams, to give the command to attack, to shout the war-cry. There he will order the battering rams to smash the gates, set up an attack ramp, and build a siege wall.
Nadesno æe mu vraèanje pokazati Jerusalim da namjesti ubojne sprave, da otvori usta na klanje, da podigne glas podvikujuæi, da namjesti ubojne sprave prema vratima, da naèini opkope, da pogradi kule.
23 To those who have sworn to be loyal to Nebuchadnezzar this will look like a false sign, but it will reveal their guilt and they will be taken prisoner.
I uèiniæe se vraèanje zaludno zakletima, a to æe napomenuti bezakonje da se uhvate.
24 So this is what the Lord God says: Because you have revealed your guilt and demonstrated your rebellion, showing your sins in everything you've done, now that you've made all this clear, you will be taken prisoner.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: što napominjete svoje bezakonje, te se otkriva nevjera vaša i grijesi se vaši vide u svijem djelima vašim, zato što doðoste na pamet, biæete pohvatani rukom.
25 As for you, you unclean, wicked prince of Israel, the time has come to complete your punishment.
A ti, neèisti bezbožnièe, kneže Izrailjev, kome doðe dan kad bi na kraju bezakonje,
26 This is what the Lord God says: Take off your turban, and your crown. Things won't continue as they were. Give power to the common people and bring down the powerful!
Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: skini tu kapu i svrzi taj vijenac, neæe ga biti; niskoga æu uzvisiti a visokoga æu poniziti.
27 I'm going to destroy everything, make it all a ruin! It won't be restored until its owner arrives, the one I've given the authority to judge.
Uništiæu, uništiæu, uništiæu ga, i neæe ga biti, dokle ne doðe onaj kome pripada, i njemu æu ga dati.
28 Prophesy, son of man, and announce that this is what the Lord God says about the Ammonites and their insults: A sword! A sword is ready for killing, polished to destroy, to flash like lightning,
A ti, sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod za sinove Amonove i za njihovu sramotu; reci dakle: maè, maè je izvuèen, uglaðen da kolje, da zatire, da sijeva,
29 even as your prophets give you false visions and prophecies that are lies. This sword will cut the necks of the wicked, killing them—those whose day has come for their punishment to be completed.
Dokle ti viðaju taštinu, dokle ti gataju laž, da te metnu na vratove pobijenijem bezbožnicima, kojima doðe dan kad bi kraj bezakonju.
30 Sword, go back to where you came from! I'm going to judge you right where you were created, in your homeland.
Ostavi maè u korice; na mjestu gdje si se rodio, u zemlji gdje si postao, sudiæu ti;
31 I will deal with you in my anger; I will breathe my fire of anger on you; I will hand you over to cruel men who are experts in destruction.
I izliæu na te gnjev svoj, ognjem gnjeva svojega dunuæu na te i predaæu te u ruke žestokim ljudma, vještim u zatiranju.
32 You will be burned up like firewood. Your blood will be shed where you live. You will be forgotten, for I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Ognju æeš biti hrana, krv æe ti biti posred zemlje, neæeš se spominjati, jer ja Gospod rekoh.
