Ezekiel 20

1 And in the seuenth yeere, in the fift moneth, the tenth day of the moneth, came certaine of the elders of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and sate before me.

Godine sedme, petoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođoše k meni neke od starješina izraelskih da se s Jahvom svjetuju. Posjedaše preda me.

2 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

3 Sonne of man, speake vnto the Elders of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye come to enquire of me? as I liue, sayth the Lord God, when I am asked, I wil not answer you.

“Sine čovječji! Govori starješinama Izraelovim! Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Došli ste me pitati za savjet? Života mi moga, nećete me pitati!' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

4 Wilt thou iudge them, sonne of man? wilt thou iudge them? cause them to vnderstand the abominations of their fathers,

Hoćeš li im suditi, hoćeš li suditi, sine čovječji? Pokaži im gadosti otaca njihovih.

5 And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when I chose Israel, and lift vp mine hand vnto the seede of the house of Iaakob, and made my selfe knowen vnto them in the land of Egypt, when I lift vp mine hand vnto them, and sayd, I am the Lord your God,

Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Onoga dana kad izabrah Izraela i ruku stavih na potomstvo doma Jakovljeva te im se objavih u zemlji egipatskoj, zakleh im se: Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!

6 In the day that I lift vp mine hand vnto them to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, into a land that I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and hony which is pleasant among all lands,

Toga im se dana rukom podignutom zakleh da ću ih izvesti iz zemlje egipatske u zemlju koju za njih izabrah, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu.

7 Then sayd I vnto them, Let euery man cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idols of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God.

I rekoh im: Odbacite od sebe sve gadosti što vam oči privlače i ne kaljajte se kumirima egipatskim jer - ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!'

8 But they rebelled against me, and would not heare me: for none cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the mids of the land of Egypt.

Ali se oni odvrgoše od mene i ne htjedoše me poslušati: nijedan ne odbaci gadosti koje mu oči zaniješe i ne okani se kumira egipatskih. Tad odlučih izliti gnjev svoj na njih i iskaliti srdžbu na njima u zemlji egipatskoj.

9 But I had respect to my Name, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whome they were, and in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them in bringing them forth of the land of Egypt.

Ali radi imena svojega - da se ne kalja na oči naroda među kojima obitavahu i pred kojima im bijah objavio da ću ih izvesti -

10 Nowe I caried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernes.

izvedoh ih iz zemlje egipatske i odvedoh ih u pustinju;

11 And I gaue them my statutes, and declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them.

i dadoh im svoje uredbe i objavih svoje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio;

12 Moreouer I gaue them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene me and them, that they might knowe that I am the Lord, that sanctifie them.

dadoh im i svoje subote, kao znak između sebe i njih, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve koji ih posvećujem.

13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes to consume them,

Ali se i u pustinji dom Izraelov odmetnu od mene: nisu hodili po mojim uredbama; odbaciše moje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio; subote moje oskvrnjivahu. I zato odlučih u pustinji gnjev svoj na njih izliti da ih zatrem.

14 But I had respect to my Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.

Ali ni toga ne učinih radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.

15 Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes that I would not bring them into the lande, which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant aboue all landes,

Ali im se zakleh u pustinji da ih neću uvesti u zemlju koju sam im bio dao, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu,

16 Because they cast away my iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles.

jer odbaciše moje zakone, i ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i subote moje oskvrnjivahu, a srce im iđaše za njihovim kumirima.

17 Neuerthelesse, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroye them, neither would I consume them in the wildernes.

Oči se moje ipak sažališe da ih ne zatrem. I tako ih u pustinji ne uništih,

18 But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers, neither obserue their maners, nor defile your selues with their idoles.

nego rekoh sinovima njihovim u pustinji: 'Ne hodite po uredbama svojih otaca, ne čuvajte zakona njihovih i ne kaljajte se kumirima njihovim!

19 I am the Lord your God: walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements and doe them,

Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš! Po uredbama mojim hodite, čuvajte i vršite moje zakone

20 And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you, that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.

i svetkujte moje subote, neka one budu znak između mene i vas, kako bi se znalo da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš!'

21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the wildernes.

Ali se i sinovi odmetnuše od mene: po mojim uredbama nisu hodili i nisu čuvali ni vršili mojih zakona, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio, a subote su moje oskvrnjivali. I zato odlučih gnjev svoj izliti i iskaliti srdžbu svoju na njima u pustinji.

22 Neuerthelesse I withdrew mine hand and had respect to my Name that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them foorth.

Ali opet ruku svoju sustegoh radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.

23 Yet I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countreys,

No zakleh se u pustinji da ću ih raspršiti među narode i rasijati po zemljama,

24 Because they had not executed my iudgements, but had cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers idoles.

jer nisu vršili mojih zakona i jer prezreše moje uredbe i jer subote moje oskvrnjivahu i oči upirahu u kumire svojih otaca.

25 Wherefore I gaue them also statutes that were not good, and iudgements, wherein they should not liue.

I zato im dadoh uredbe koje ne bijahu dobre, zakone koji usmrćuju:

26 And I polluted them in their owne giftes in that they caused to passe by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that I might destroy them, to the ende, that they might know that I am ye Lord.

da se oskvrnjuju svojim prinosima, provodeći kroz oganj svoju prvorođenčad. Htjedoh tako da ih zastrašim, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve.

27 Therefore, sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, though they had before grieuously transgressed against me.

Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! I ovim me oci vaši još uvrijediše: nevjerom mi se iznevjeriše!

28 For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred there their sacrifices, and there they presented their offering of prouocation: there also they made their sweete sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings.

Kad ih uvedoh u zemlju koju im se zakleh dati, gdje god bi ugledali povišen brežuljak ili stablo krošnjato, prinosili bi žrtve, donosili izazovne prinose, metali mirise ugodne, nalijevali ljevanice.

29 Then I saide vnto them, What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this day.

Upitah ih: što li znači ta uzvišica na koju se penjete?' I tako osta ime 'bama', uzvišica, do dana današnjega.

30 Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredome after their abominations?

Zato reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ne kaljate li se i vi kao oci vaši, ne provodite li i vi blud s gadostima njihovim?

31 For when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you when I am asked.

Kaljate se prinoseći im darove, provodeći kroz oganj svoje sinove u čast svim kumirima svojim sve do dana današnjega. I da me onda za savjet pitaš, dome Izraelov! Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nećete me za savjet pitati!

32 Neither shall that be done that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the countreys, and serue wood, and stone.

I neće se zbiti o čemu sanjate kad govorite: 'Bit ćemo kao drugi narodi, kao narodi ostalih zemalja što služe drveću i kamenju.'

33 As I liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,

Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - vladat ću vama rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svoj žestini svoje jarosti.

34 And will bring you from the people, and will gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,

Izvest ću vas iz naroda, skupiti vas iz svih zemalja u koje bijaste raspršeni rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svem plamu jarosti moje!

35 And I will bring you into the wildernes of the people, and there wil I pleade with you face to face.

Odvest ću vas u pustinju naroda i ondje vam licem u lice suditi!

36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you, saith the Lord God.

Kao što sudih ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje egipatske, i vama ću suditi - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

37 And I wil cause you to passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the bond of the couenant.

Provest ću vas ispod štapa svojega, podvrći vas brojenju:

38 And I wil chuse out from among you the rebels, and them that transgresse against mee: I will bring them out of the land where they dwel, and they shall not enter into the lande of Israel, and you shall knowe that I am the Lord.

razlučit ću između vas sve koji se pobuniše i odvrgoše od mene: izvest ću ih iz zemlje u kojoj kao došljaci borave, ali - u zemlju Izraelovu nikad ući neće! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'

39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God, Goe you, and serue euery one his idole, seeing that ye will not obey me, and pollute mine holy Name no more with your giftes and with your idoles.

'A vi, dome Izraelov' - ovako govori Jahve Gospod - 'samo idite i dalje služite svaki svom kumiru! Jednom ćete, kunem vas se, poslušati i nećete više kaljati moje sveto ime svojim prinosima i kumirima:

40 For in mine holy mountaine, euen in the hie mountaine of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, and all in the lande, serue me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offrings and the first fruites of your oblations, with all your holy things.

na Svetoj gori mojoj, na visokoj gori Izraelovoj - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - služit će mi sav dom Izraelov, u svojoj zemlji. Ondje će mi oni omiljeti i ondje ću iskati vaše podizanice i prinose vaših prvina sa svim svetinjama.

41 I will accept your sweete sauour, when I bring you from the people, and gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye haue bene scattered, that I may be sanctified in you before ye heathen.

Omiljet ćete mi kao miris ugodan kad vas izvedem iz narodÄa i skupim iz zemalja u kojima bjeste rasijani. I na vama ću očitovati svetost svoju naočigled svih naroda.

42 And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande to giue it to your fathers.

Tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve, kada vas dovedem u zemlju Izraelovu, u zemlju koju se zakleh dati očevima vašim.

43 And there shall ye remember your wayes, and all your workes, wherein ye haue bene defiled, and ye shall iudge your selues worthy to be cut off, for all your euils, that ye haue committed.

Ondje ćete se spomenuti svih svojih putova i nedjela kojima se okaljaste: sami ćete sebi omrznuti zbog nedjela što ih počiniste.

44 And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I haue respect vnto you for my Names sake, and not after your wicked wayes, nor according to your corrupt workes, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

I tada ćete spoznati da sam ja Jahve kad, radi imena svojega, ne postupim s vama po zloći vaših putova ni po vašim pokvarenim djelima, dome Izraelov! Tako govori Jahve Gospod!'”

45 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

46 Sonne of man, set thy face toward the way of Teman, and drop thy word toward the South, and prophecie towarde the forest of the fielde of the South,

“Sine čovječji, okreni lice k jugu i prospi besjedu prema jugu te prorokuj protiv šume u kraju negepskom.

47 And say to the forest of the South, Heare the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall deuoure all the greene wood in thee, and all the drie wood: the continuall flame shall not bee quenched, and euery face from the South to the North shall be burnt therein.

Reci šumi negepskoj: 'Poslušaj riječ Jahvinu! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, zapalit ću usred tebe oganj i on će proždrijeti u tebi svako drvo, zeleno i suho! Razgorjeli se oganj neće utrnuti dok sve ne izgori od sjevera do juga.

48 And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord haue kindled it, and it shall not bee quenched.

I svi će vidjeti da sam ja, Jahve, zapalio taj oganj i neće se ugasiti.'”

49 Then saide I, Ah Lord God, they say of me, Doeth not he speake parables?

Rekoh na to: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, tÓa oni će za mene reći: 'Evo opet pričalice s pričama!'”
