Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
Sine èovjeèji, zagoneni zagonetku i kaži prièu o domu Izrailjevu,
3 And say, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
I reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: orao velik, velikih krila, dugih pera, pun perja, šaren, doðe na Livan i uze vrh od kedra,
4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
Odlomi vrh od mladijeh grana njegovijeh, i odnese ga u zemlju trgovaèku, u grad trgovaèki metnu ga.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
I uze sjeme iz one zemlje, i metnu ga na njivu, odnese ga gdje ima mnogo vode, i ostavi ga dobro.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
I iznièe, i posta busat èokot, nizak, kojemu se loze pružahu k njemu a žile bijahu pod njim; posta èokot, i pusti grane i izbi odvode.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
A bijaše drugi orao velik, velikih krila i pernat, i gle, taj èokot pusti k njemu žile svoje i grane svoje pruži k njemu da bi ga zaljevao iz brazda svoga sada.
8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
Posaðen bijaše u dobroj zemlji kod mnogo vode, da pusti grane i raða rod i bude krasna loza.
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
Kaži: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: hoæe li napredovati? neæe li mu poèupati žile i rod mu oblomiti da se posuši? Sve æe mu se grane što je pustio posušiti, i bez velike sile i bez mnogoga naroda išèupaæe ga iz korijena.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
Eto, posaðen je, hoæe li napredovati? i neæe li se sasvijem posušiti èim ga se dohvati ustoka? Posušiæe se u brazdi gdje je posaðen.
11 Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
Kaži tome domu odmetnièkom: ne znate li šta je ovo? Reci: evo, doðe car Vavilonski u Jerusalim, i uze mu cara i knezove, i odvede ih sa sobom u Vavilon.
13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
I uze jednoga od carskoga sjemena, i uèini s njim vjeru, i zakle ga, i uze silne u zemlji,
14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
Da bi carstvo bilo sniženo da se ne bi podiglo, nego da bi držeæi vjeru s njim stajalo.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
Ali se odmetnu od njega poslav poslanike svoje u Misir da mu da konja i mnogo naroda. Hoæe li biti sreæan? hoæe li uteæi ko tako èini? ko prestupa vjeru hoæe li uteæi?
16 As I live, saith the Sovereign YHWH, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, u mjestu onoga cara koji ga je zacario, kojemu je zakletvu prezreo i kojemu je vjeru prestupio, kod njega æe u Vavilonu umrijeti.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
Niti æe mu Faraon s velikom vojskom i mnogim narodom pomoæi u ratu, kad iskopa opkope i pogradi kule da pogubi mnoge duše.
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
Jer prezre zakletvu prestupajuæi vjeru; i gle, davši ruku èini sve to; neæe uteæi.
19 Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, obratiæu mu na glavu zakletvu svoju koju prezre i vjeru svoju koju prestupi.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
Jer æu razapeti nad njim mrežu svoju i uhvatiæe se u zamku moju; i odvešæu ga u Vavilon, i ondje æu se suditi s njim za bezakonje koje mi uèini.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I YHWH have spoken it.
I sva bježan njegova sa svom vojskom njegovom pašæe od maèa, a koji ostanu raspršaæe se u sve vjetrove, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod govorio.
22 Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ali æu ja uzeti s vrha od toga visokoga kedra, i posadiæu; s vrha od mladijeh grana njegovijeh odlomiæu granèicu, i posadiæu na gori visokoj i uzdignutoj.
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
Na visokoj gori Izrailjevoj posadiæu je, i pustiæe grane, i rodiæe, i postaæe krasan kedar, i pod njim æe nastavati svakojake ptice, u hladu grana njegovijeh nastavaæe.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I YHWH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I YHWH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I YHWH have spoken and have done it.
I sva æe drveta poljska poznati da ja Gospod snizih visoko drvo i uzvisih nisko drvo, posuših zeleno drvo i uèinih da ozeleni suho drvo. Ja Gospod rekoh, i uèiniæu.
