Ezekiel 14
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Uto k meni dođoše neki od starješina Izraelovih i sjedoše preda me.
2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
“Sine čovječji! Ti ljudi nose kumire u srcu i upiru oči u ono što ih na grijeh potiče. Pa zar da trpim da u mene traže savjeta?
4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Tko god iz doma Izraelova nosi u srcu kumire i upire oči u ono što ga na grijeh potiče, a dolazi k proroku, ja, Jahve, odgovorit ću mu prema mnoštvu njegovih kumira,
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
da uhvatim za srce dom Izraelov koji se zbog idola svojih odmetnu od mene.'
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Zato reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Obratite se, odvratite se od kumira svojih! Odvratite lice od gnusoba svojih!
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
Jer tko se god iz doma Izraelova i od došljaka koji se nastaniše u Izraelu odmetne od mene i u srcu nosi kumire i upire oči u ono što ga potiče na grijeh, pa unatoč tome dođe k proroku da preko njega u mene traži savjeta, njemu ću ja, Jahve, sam odgovoriti;
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
okrenut ću se protiv njega i učinit ću od njega poslovičan primjer: iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve.
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Ako li se prorok dadne zavesti i progovori, bilo bi to kao da sam ja, Jahve, zaveo toga proroka: ruku ću podići na njega i iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda izraelskoga.
10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh [unto him; ]
Obojica će podjednako snositi grijeh svoj: grijeh prorokov jednak je grijehu onoga koji je u njega tražio savjeta.
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
I tako se dom Izraelov više neće odmetati od mene i neće se više kaljati svojim opačinama: on će biti narod moj, a ja ću biti njegov Bog' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
“Sine čovječji, zgriješi li koja zemlja protiv mene nevjerom i ja podignem ruku na nju te joj uništim i posljednju pričuvu kruha i pustim na nju glad da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku;
14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
preostanu li u njoj samo tri čovjeka - Noa, Daniel i Job - ti će se svojom pravednošću spasiti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Također, ako na tu zemlju pustim divlje zvijeri da joj djecu unište a nju pretvore u pustinju, kojom se zbog zvijeri više nitko neće usuditi proći;
16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
preostanu li u njoj samo ta tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe, a zemlja će njihova postati prava pustinja.
17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Ili, ako ja trgnem mač na tu zemlju govoreći: 'Maču, prođi ovom zemljom!' da istrijebim u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
a u njoj se nađu samo ona tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe.
19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Ili, ako ja pošaljem na tu zemlju kugu te izlijem na nju gnjev i pokolj da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku,
20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
a u njoj preostanu samo ona tri čovjeka, Noa, Daniel i Job, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe svojom pravednošću.”
21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Ipak, ako na Jeruzalem pustim sva svoja četiri ljuta biča - mač, glad, divlju zvjerad i kugu - da zatrem u njemu sve ljude i stoku,
22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have brought upon it.
u njemu će ipak preživjeti Ostatak koji će spasiti sinove i kćeri. I evo, oni će doći k vama da vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela i da se utješite, jer ćete upoznati: što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema, ne učinih bez razloga.
23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
Da, kad vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela, utješit ćete se, jer ćete upoznati da ne učinih bez razloga što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
