Ezekiel 18
1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me againe, saying,
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 What meane ye that ye speake this prouerbe, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers haue eaten sowre grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge?
“Što vam je te o Izraelu ponavljate poslovicu: 'Oci jedoše kiselo grožđe, sinovima trnu zubi!'
3 As I liue, sayth the Lord God, ye shall vse this prouerbe no more in Israel.
Života mi moga, riječ je Jahve Gospoda: nitko od vas neće više u Izraelu ponavljati tu poslovicu;
4 Beholde, all soules are mine, both the soule of the father, and also the soule of the sonne are mine: the soule that sinneth, it shall die.
jer, svi su životi moji, kako život očev tako i život sinovlji. I evo, onaj koji zgriješi, taj će umrijeti.
5 But if a man be iust, and doe that which is lawfull, and right,
Tko je pravedan i poštuje zakon i pravdu
6 And hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idoles of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath lyen with a menstruous woman,
i ne blaguje po gorama i očiju ne podiže kumirima doma Izraelova, ne oskvrnjuje žene bližnjega svoga i ne prilazi ženi dok je nečista;
7 Neither hath oppressed any, but hath restored the pledge to his dettour: he that hath spoyled none by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,
nikomu ne nanosi nasilja, vraća što je u zalog primio i ništa ne otima; kruh svoj dijeli s gladnim, gologa odijeva,
8 And hath not giuen foorth vpon vsurie, neither hath taken any increase, but hath withdrawen his hand from iniquitie, and hath executed true iudgement betweene man and man,
ne posuđuje uz dobit i ne uzima pridavka, ruku usteže od nedjela, po istini presuđuje,
9 And hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my iudgements to deale truely, he is iust, he shall surely liue, sayth the Lord God.
po mojim naredbama hodi i čuva moje zakone, postupajući po istini - taj je zaista pravedan i taj će živjeti, riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
10 If he beget a sonne, that is a thiefe, or a sheader of blood, if he do any one of these things,
Ali, porodi li on sina nasilnika, koji krv prolijeva ili bratu takvo što učini,
11 Though he doe not all these things, but either hath eaten vpon the mountaines, or defiled his neighbours wife,
a ne radi kao njegov roditelj, nego blaguje po gorama, oskvrnjuje ženu bližnjega;
12 Or hath oppressed the poore and needy, or hath spoyled by violence, or hath not restored the pledge, or hath lift vp his eyes vnto the idoles, or hath committed abomination,
ubogu i bijednu nanosi nasilje, otima, ne vraća što je u zalog primio, oči podiže kumirima čineći gadosti;
13 Or hath giuen forth vpon vsurie, or hath taken increase, shall he liue? he shall not liue: seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die the death, and his blood shall be vpon him.
posuđuje uz dobit i uzima pridavak - ne, takav sin neće živjeti! Učinio je te gadosti i umrijet će, a krv će njegova na njega pasti.
14 But if he beget a sonne, that seeth all his fathers sinnes, which he hath done, and feareth, neither doeth such like,
A porodi li on sina koji uvidi sve grijehe što ih njegov otac počini, uvidi ih i tako više ne učini;
15 That hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idols of ye house of Israel, nor hath defiled his neighbours wife,
ne blaguje po gorama, očiju ne podiže kumirima doma Izraelova, ne oskvrnjuje žene bližnjega;
16 Neither hath oppressed any, nor hath withholden the pledge, neither hath spoyled by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,
nikomu ne nanosi nasilja, ne prisvaja zaloga, ništa ne otima, kruh svoj dijeli s gladnim, gologa odijeva;
17 Neither hath withdrawen his hand from the afflicted, nor receiued vsurie nor increase, but hath executed my iudgements, and hath walked in my statutes, he shall not die in the iniquitie of his father, but he shall surely liue.
ruku usteže od nedjela, ne uzima dobiti ni pridavka, vrši moje zakone i hodi po mojim naredbama - ne, taj neće umrijeti zbog grijeha očeva, on će živjeti.
18 His father, because he cruelly oppressed and spoyled his brother by violence, and hath not done good among his people, loe, euen he dyeth in his iniquitie.
A njegov otac, koji je nemilice tlačio i pljačkao bližnjega, čineći u narodu što ne valja, zbog svojega će grijeha umrijeti.
19 Yet say ye, Wherefore shall not the sonne beare the iniquitie of the father? because ye sonne hath executed iudgement and iustice, and hath kept all my statutes, and done them, he shall surely liue,
Ali vi kažete: 'Zašto da sin ne snosi očev grijeh?' Zato što sin vrši zakon i pravdu, čuva i vrši sve moje naredbe, živjet će.
20 The same soule that sinneth, shall die: the sonne shall not beare the iniquitie of the father, neither shall the father beare the iniquitie of the sonne, but the righteousnes of the righteous shall be vpon him, and the wickednesse of the wicked shall be vpon him selfe.
Onaj koji zgriješi, taj će i umrijeti. Sin neće snositi grijeha očeva, ni otac grijeha sinovljega. Na pravedniku će biti pravda njegova, a na bezbožniku bezbožnost njegova.
21 But if the wicked will returne from all his sinnes that he hath committed, and keepe all my statutes, and doe that which is lawfull and right, he shall surely liue, and shall not die.
Ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svih grijeha što ih počini, i bude čuvao sve moje naredbe i vršio zakon i pravdu, živjet će i neće umrijeti.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned vnto him, but in his righteousnes that he hath done, he shall liue.
Sva njegova nedjela što ih počini bit će zaboravljena: zbog pravednosti što je čini, živjet će.
23 Haue I any desire that the wicked should die, sayth the Lord God? or shall he not liue, if he returne from his wayes?
Jer, zar je meni do toga da umre bezbožnik - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - a ne da se odvrati od svojih zlih putova i da živi?
24 But if the righteous turne away from his righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, and doe according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he liue? all his righteousnes that he hath done, shall not be mentioned: but in his transgression that he hath committed, and in his sinne that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ako li se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu i sve gadosti koje radi bezbožnik - hoće li živjeti? Sva pravedna djela koja bijaše činio zaboravit će se, a zbog svoje nevjere kojom se iznevjerio i zbog grijeha što ih počini, umrijet će.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equall: heare now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
A vi velite: 'Put Jahvin nije pravedan!' Čuj, dome Izraelov: Moj put da nije pravedan? Nisu li vaši putovi nepravedni?
26 For when a righteous man turneth away from his righteousnes, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die for the same, he shall euen die for his iniquitie, that he hath done.
Ako li se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, pa zbog toga umre, umrijet će zbog nepravde što je počini.
27 Againe when the wicked turneth away from his wickednes that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawfull and right, he shall saue his soule aliue.
A ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti što je bijaše činio, pa stane vršiti moj zakon i pravdu, živjet će i neće umrijeti.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that hee hath committed, he shall surely liue and shall not die.
Jer je uvidio i odvratio se od svojih nedjela što ih bijaše počinio, živjet će i neće umrijeti.
29 Yet saith ye house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equall. O house of Israel, are not my wayes equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
Ali dom Izraelov kaže: 'Put Gospodnji nije pravedan!' Putovi moji da nisu pravedni, dome Izraelov? Nisu li vaši putovi nepravedni?
30 Therefore I will iudge you, O house of Israel, euery one according to his wayes, sayth the Lord God: returne therefore and cause others to turne away from all your transgressions: so iniquitie shall not be your destruction.
Dome Izraelov, ja ću suditi svakome po njegovim putovima - riječ je Jahve Gospoda. Obratite se, dakle, i povratite od svih svojih nedjela, i grijeh vam vaš neće biti na propast!
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye haue transgressed, and make you a newe heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Odbacite od sebe sva nedjela koja ste činili i načinite sebi novo srce i nov duh! Zašto da umirete, dome Izraelov?
32 For I desire not the death of him that dyeth, sayth the Lord God: cause therefore one another to returne, and liue ye.
Ja ne želim smrti nikoga koji umre - riječ je Jahve Gospoda. Obratite se, dakle, i živite!
