Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it [was] shut.
Potom me odvede natrag k izvanjskim vratima Svetišta, koja gledaju na istok: bijahu zatvorena.
2 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
I reče mi Jahve: “Ova će vrata biti zatvorena; neka se ne otvaraju i nitko neka ne ulazi na njih, jer ja, Jahve, Bog Izraelov, kroz njih prođoh - zato neka budu zatvorena.
3 [It is] for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
Samo knez, jer je knez, smije sjesti tu i blagovati pred Jahvom; tada neka uđe kroz trijem vrata i istim putem neka izađe.”
4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
Zatim me odvede k sjevernim vratima pred Dom. Pogledah, i gle: Slava Jahvina bijaše napunila Dom Jahvin. Padoh ničice.
5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
Jahve mi reče: “Sine čovječji, pomno pripazi, dobro gledaj i pažljivo poslušaj što ću ti reći o svim uredbama Doma Jahvina i o svim njegovim zakonima. Dobro pazi tko smije ući u Dom i tko je iz Svetišta odijeljen.
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, [even] to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
Reci rodu odmetničkom, domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Previše je već vaših gnusoba, dome Izraelov!
7 In that ye have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, [even] my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
Uvodili ste tuđince, neobrezana srca i neobrezana tijela, te su ušli u moje Svetište i oskvrnuli moj Dom dok ste vi prinosili moj kruh i pretilinu i krv; i tako ste raskinuli moj Savez svim tim gnusobama.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
Niste sami čuvali moje svetinje, nego ste njih namjestili namjesto sebe kao čuvare u mojem Svetištu.'
9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that [is] among the children of Israel.
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Nijedan tuđinac, neobrezana srca i neobrezana tijela, da više ne ulazi u moje Svetište - nijedan tuđinac koji živi među sinovima Izraelovim.
10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
A leviti koji su se udaljili od mene, kad je ono Izrael odlutao od mene za svojim kumirima, snosit će svoje bezakonje.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having] charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
Služit će u Svetištu samo kao stražari na vratima Doma i kao posluga Domu: klat će narodu paljenice i druge žrtve i bit će mu na službu.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Služili su im pred njihovim kumirima i tako naveli Dom Izraelov na bezakonje. Zato podigoh ruku na njih - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - da snose svoje bezakonje.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy [place: ] but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
Više neće pristupati k meni da mi služe kao svećenici i neće više prilaziti mojim najsvetijim svetinjama, nego će snositi svoju sramotu i gnusobe koje počiniše.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
Postavit ću ih da u Domu rade svaki posao i sve što treba u njemu svršiti.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
Svećenici leviti, potomci Sadokovi, koji su mi vjerno služili u mojem Svetištu kad su ono sinovi Izraelovi odlutali od mene - oni smiju pristupati k meni da mi služe: služit će preda mnom prinoseći mi pretilinu i krv - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
Oni smiju ulaziti u moje Svetište i pristupati k mojem stolu da mi služe i da vrše službu.
17 And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Kad budu ulazili na vrata unutrašnjega predvorja, neka obuku lanene haljine: neka ne bude na njima ništa vuneno kad služe na vratima unutrašnjega predvorja i Doma.
18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird [themselves] with any thing that causeth sweat.
Na glavama neka nose lanene kape, oko bokova gaće lanene: neka se ne pašu ničim od čega bi se znojili.
19 And when they go forth into the utter court, [even] into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
Kad izlaze u vanjsko predvorje k narodu, neka svuku haljine u kojima su služili i neka ih ostave u prostorijama Svetišta, a neka obuku druge haljine, da ne posvete puk svojim haljinama.
20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
I neka ne briju glave, a ni bujne kose neka ne puštaju, nego neka strigu kosu.
21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
I nijedan svećenik, kad mu je poći u unutrašnje predvorje, neka ne pije vina.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
Neka se ne žene udovicom ili puštenicom nego samo djevojkom iz roda Izraelova ili udovicom svećenikovom.
23 And they shall teach my people [the difference] between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Neka mi narod uče razlikovati sveto od nesvetoga, lučiti nečisto od čistoga.
24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and] they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
U parnicama oni neka budu suci: neka sude po mojim zakonima; i neka čuvaju zakone i uredbe o svim mojim blagdanima i neka svetkuju moje subote.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
K mrtvacu neka ne prilaze da se ne okaljaju; samo za ocem i za majkom, za sinom i kćerju, za bratom i sestrom još neudatom smiju se okaljati.
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
Pošto se nakon toga koji očisti, neka mu se broji sedam dana:
27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.
a onda kad uđe u Svetište, u unutrašnje predvorje da služi u Svetištu, neka prinese žrtvu okajnicu - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am] their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I [am] their possession.
Njima ne pripada nikakva baština - ja sam njihova baština; i zato im ne dajte nikakva posjeda u Izraelu - ja sam posjed njihov.
29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Hranit će se od žrtava prinosnica, okajnica i naknadnica, i sve zavjetovano u Izraelu njima pripada.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all [things], and every oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
Najbolje od svih vaših prvina i od svih vaših prinosa koje ćete prinositi pripada svećenicima; njima ćete davati i najbolje brašno, da blagoslov počiva na vašim domovima.
31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
Svećenici ne smiju jesti mesa od uginulih i razderanih životinja - bilo od ptica ili stoke.
