Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 What mean all of you, that all of you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
“Što vam je te o Izraelu ponavljate poslovicu: 'Oci jedoše kiselo grožđe, sinovima trnu zubi!'
3 As I live, says the Lord GOD, all of you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Života mi moga, riječ je Jahve Gospoda: nitko od vas neće više u Izraelu ponavljati tu poslovicu;
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, 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 just, and do that which is lawful and right,
Tko je pravedan i poštuje zakon i pravdu
6 And has not eaten upon the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbour's wife, neither has come near to 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 And has not oppressed any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has spoiled none by violence, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered 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8 He that has not given forth upon interest, neither has taken any increase, that has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true judgment between man and man,
ne posuđuje uz dobit i ne uzima pridavka, ruku usteže od nedjela, po istini presuđuje,
9 Has walked in my statutes, and has kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, says 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 brought forth a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that does the like to any one of these things,
Ali, porodi li on sina nasilnika, koji krv prolijeva ili bratu takvo što učini,
11 And that does not any of those duties, but even has eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
a ne radi kao njegov roditelj, nego blaguje po gorama, oskvrnjuje ženu bližnjega;
12 Has oppressed the poor and needy, has spoiled by violence, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
ubogu i bijednu nanosi nasilje, otima, ne vraća što je u zalog primio, oči podiže kumirima čineći gadosti;
13 Has given forth upon interest, and has taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon 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 Now, lo, if he brought forth a son, that sees all his father's sins which he has done, and considers, and does not 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 has not eaten upon the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbour's wife,
ne blaguje po gorama, očiju ne podiže kumirima doma Izraelova, ne oskvrnjuje žene bližnjega;
16 Neither has oppressed any, has not withheld the pledge, neither has spoiled by violence, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment,
nikomu ne nanosi nasilja, ne prisvaja zaloga, ništa ne otima, kruh svoj dijeli s gladnim, gologa odijeva;
17 That has taken off his hand from the poor, that has not received interest nor increase, has executed my judgments, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
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 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
A njegov otac, koji je nemilice tlačio i pljačkao bližnjega, čineći u narodu što ne valja, zbog svojega će grijeha umrijeti.
19 Yet say all of you, Why? does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
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 soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
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 turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he 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 has committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Sva njegova nedjela što ih počini bit će zaboravljena: zbog pravednosti što je čini, živjet će.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? says the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
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 when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All his righteousness that he has done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has 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 all of you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
A vi velite: 'Put Jahvin nije pravedan!' Čuj, dome Izraelov: Moj put da nije pravedan? Nisu li vaši putovi nepravedni?
26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in them; for his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
Ako li se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, pa zbog toga umre, umrijet će zbog nepravde što je počini.
27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
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 considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Jer je uvidio i odvratio se od svojih nedjela što ih bijaše počinio, živjet će i neće umrijeti.
29 Yet says the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
Ali dom Izraelov kaže: 'Put Gospodnji nije pravedan!' Putovi moji da nisu pravedni, dome Izraelov? Nisu li vaši putovi nepravedni?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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 all of you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will all of you 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 have no pleasure in the death of him that dies, says the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live all of you.
Ja ne želim smrti nikoga koji umre - riječ je Jahve Gospoda. Obratite se, dakle, i živite!
