Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, saying:
Godine devete, devetoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 'Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this selfsame day; this selfsame day the king of Babylon hath invested Jerusalem.
“Sine čovječji, zapiši ovaj dan: upravo danas kralj babilonski zaposjede Jeruzalem.
3 And utter a parable concerning the rebellious house, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;
Pripovijedaj domu odmetničkom prispodobu. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Pristavi lonac, pristavi i nalij vode u nj!
4 Gather into it the pieces belonging to it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Baci u nj komade, sve najbolje komade mesa, but i pleće! Napuni ga ponajboljim kostima!
5 Take the choice of the flock, and pile also the bones under it; make it boil well, that the bones thereof may also be seethed in the midst of it.
Uzmi najbolje od stada. Pod loncem vatru naloži. Neka dobro uzavri, neka se u njemu skuhaju i kosti.'
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose filth is therein, and whose filth is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; no lot is fallen upon it.
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkom, zahrđalu loncu s kojega se hrđa ne skida! A zatim komad po komad iz njega izvadi, ali za nj ne bacaj kÓockÄe!
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
Jer krv je njegova u njemu - na golu je kamenu ostavi, po zemlji je ne razlij gdje bi je prašina mogla prekriti!
8 that it might cause fury to come up, that vengeance might be taken, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Da se gnjev moj raspali, da mu odmazdim, ostavih krv njegovu na kamenu golom, da se ne pokrije.'
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great,
Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkome, jer ću veliku lomaču naložiti!
10 heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, that the flesh may be consumed; and preparing the mixture, that the bones also may be burned;
Skupi drva, vatru potpali, skuhaj meso, primiješaj začina, nek' izgore i kosti!
11 then will I set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the bottom thereof may burn, and that the impurity of it may be molten in it, that the filth of it may be consumed.
A zatim ga prazna na žeravicu pristavi da mjed mu se usija i nečistoća njegova sva se rastopi, da se uništi hrđa na njemu!
12 It hath wearied itself with toil; yet its great filth goeth not forth out of it, yea, its noisome filth.
Grdne li muke! Ali se velika hrđa ne dade s njega skinuti: i vatri odolje.
13 Because of thy filthy lewdness, because I have purged thee and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have satisfied My fury upon thee.
Sramotan je grijeh tvoj: htjedoh te očistiti, ali se ti ne htjede od grijeha očistiti; i zbog toga se više nećeš očistiti dok nad tobom ne iskalim gnjev svoj!
14 I the LORD have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.'
Ja, Jahve, rekoh! I riječ ću ispuniti; neću popustiti: I neću se smilovati niti ću se pokajati! Sudit ću te po putovima tvojim i po djelima tvojim! - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
16 'Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet neither shalt thou make lamentation nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
“Sine čovječji, evo, nenadanom smrću oduzet ću ti radost očinju! Ne tuguj, ne plači i ne roni suza!
17 Sigh in silence; make no mourning for the dead, bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thine upper lip, and eat not the bread of men.'
Jecaj tiho, ali ne žali kao što se za mrtvima žali! I povij oko glave povez, a na noge obuj sandale. Ne prekrivaj brade i ne jedi žalobničke pogače.”
18 So I spoke unto the people in the morning, and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Ujutro tako prorokovah narodu, a uveče mi žena umrije te sutradan uradih kao što mi bijaše zapovjeđeno.
19 And the people said unto me: 'Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?'
Narod me na to zapita: “Nećeš li nam reći što znači za nas to što ti radiš?”
20 Then I said unto them: 'The word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ja im odgovorih: “Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
21 Speak unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the longing of your soul; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
“Reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, oskvrnut ću svoje Svetište, vaš ponos snažni, radost vam očinju i čežnju duše vaše! I sinovi i kćeri koje ostaviste, od mača će pasti!
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your upper lips, nor eat the bread of men;
Tada ćete uraditi kao što i ja uradih: nećete prekrivati brade i nećete jesti žalobničke pogače!
23 and your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet; ye shall not make lamentation nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
Povit ćete povez oko glave i obuti na noge sandale! I nećete više tugovati ni plakati, nego ćete čiljeti zbog svojih nedjela i jecati jedan za drugim!
24 Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do; when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord GOD.
A Ezekiel će vam biti primjer: učinit ćete sve što je i on činio. Kad se to zbude, spoznat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the yearning of their soul, their sons and their daughters,
A ti, sine čovječji, doista u dan kad im oduzmem snagu, dičnu radost njihovu, radost im očinju, slast duše njihove, sinove i kćeri njihove -
26 that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
u taj će dan k tebi stići bjegunac da ti to dojavi!
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened together with him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb; so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
U taj će se dan tvoja usta otvoriti, i ti ćeš tom bjeguncu progovoriti; nećeš više biti nijem. I tako ćeš im biti znak. I oni će spoznati da sam ja Jahve!”
