Ezekiel 37
1 There came over me the inspiration of the Lord, and he carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones;
I spusti se na me ruka Jahvina i Jahve me u svojem duhu izvede i postavi usred doline pune kostiju.
2 And he caused me to pass by them all round about; and, behold, there were very many of them on the surface of the valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
Provede me kroz njih, svuda oko njih, i gle, bijaše ih u dolini veoma mnogo i bijahu sasvim suhe!
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.
Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, mogu li ove kosti oživjeti?” Ja odgovorih: “Jahve Gospode, to samo ti znaš!”
4 And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear ye the word of the Lord.
Tad mi reče: “Prorokuj ovim kostima i reci im: 'O suhe kosti, čujte riječ Jahvinu!'
5 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod ovim kostima: 'Evo, duh ću svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete!
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and bring up flesh upon you, and draw over you a skin, and put a spirit in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall experience that I am the Lord.
Žilama ću vas ispreplesti, mesom obložiti, kožom vas obaviti i duh svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete - i znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'”
7 And so I prophesied as I had been commanded: and there was a sound, as I prophesied, and behold there was a rustling noise, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
I ja stadoh prorokovati kao što mi bješe zapovjeđeno. I dok sam prorokovao, nastade šuškanje i pomicanje i kosti se stadoše pribirati.
8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews upon them, and the flesh came up, and the skin was drawn over them above; but no spirit was in them.
Pogledah, i gle, po njima narasle žile i meso; kožom se presvukoše, ali duha još ne bijaše u njima.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain ones, that they may live.
I reče mi: “Prorokuj duhu, sine čovječji, prorokuj i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Od sva četiri vjetra dođi, duše, i dahni u ova trupla da ožive!'”
10 And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and there came into them the spirit, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
I stadoh prorokovati kao što mi zapovjedi, i duh uđe u njih i oživješe i stadoše na noge - vojska vrlo, vrlo velika.
11 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope; we are quite cut off.
Reče mi: “Sine čovječji, te kosti - to je sav dom Izraelov. Evo, oni vele: 'Usahnuše nam kosti i propade nam nada, pogibosmo!'
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will open your graves, and I will cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
Zato prorokuj i reci im. 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ja ću otvoriti vaše grobove, izvesti vas iz vaših grobova, narode moj, i odvesti vas u zemlju Izraelovu!
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and when I cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve kad otvorim grobove vaše i kad vas izvedem iz vaših grobova, moj narode!
14 And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall acknowledge that I the Lord have spoken it, and done it, saith the Lord.
I duh svoj udahnut ću u vas da oživite, i dovest ću vas u vašu zemlju, i znat ćete da ja, Jahve govorim i činim' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
15 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
16 But thou, son of man, take unto thyself one stick of wood, and write upon it, “For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions;” then take another stick, and write upon it, “For Joseph, —the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:”
“Sine čovječji, uzmi drvo i napiši na njemu: 'Juda i sinovi Izraelovi, njegovi saveznici!' Onda uzmi drugo drvo i napiši na njemu: 'Josip - drvo Efrajimovo - i sav dom Izraelov, njegov saveznik.'
17 And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
I sastavi ih u jedno drvo da budu kao jedno u tvojoj ruci!
18 And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?
A kad te sinovi tvojega naroda zapitaju: 'Hoćeš li nam objasniti što to znači?' -
19 [Then] speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, —which is in the hand of Ephraim, —and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will lay them upon him, even the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, uzet ću drvo Josipovo, što je u ruci Efrajimovoj, drvo Josipovo i Izraelovih plemena, njegovih saveznika, i sastavit ću ga s drvetom Judinim te ću od njih načiniti jedno; oba će biti jedno u mojoj ruci.'
20 And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
Oba drveta na koja to napišeš neka ti budu u ruci, njima naočigled.
21 And speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and I will gather them from every side, and bring them unto their own land;
I reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, skupit ću sinove Izraelove iz naroda u koje dođoše, skupit ću ih odasvud i odvesti ih u zemlju njihovu.
22 And I will make them into one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be to them all for king; and they shall not be any more two nations, nor shall they at any time be divided into two kingdoms any more:
I načinit ću od njih jedan narod u zemlji, u gorama Izraelovim, i bit će im svima jedan kralj, i oni više neće biti dva naroda i neće više biti razdijeljeni na dva kraljevstva.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, and with their detestable things, and with all their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and I will cleanse them, and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be to them for a God.
I neće se više kaljati svojim kumirima, ni svojim grozotama, ni opačinama. Izbavit ću ih od svih njihovih nevjera kojima zgriješiše i očistit ću ih, i oni će biti moj narod, a ja njihov Bog.
24 And my servant David shall be king over them; and one shepherd shall be for them all: and in my ordinances shall they walk, and my statutes shall they observe, and do them.
I sluga moj David bit će im kralj i svima će im biti jedan pastir. Živjet će po mojim zakonima, čuvajući i vršeći moje naredbe.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto my servant, unto Jacob, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and David my servant shall be prince unto them for ever.
Boravit će u zemlji koju dadoh sluzi svome Jakovu, u kojoj življahu oci vaši: u njoj će stanovati oni i njihovi sinovi, i sinovi sinova njihovih dovijeka. I moj sluga David bit će im knez dovijeka.
26 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, an everlasting covenant shall it be with them: and I will multiply them, and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Sklopit ću s njima savez mira; bit će to Savez vječan s njima. Utvrdit ću ih i razmnožiti i postavit ću Svetište svoje zauvijek među njih.
27 My dwelling also shall be with them, and I will be unto them for a God; and they shall be unto me as a people.
Moj će Šator biti među njima i ja ću biti Bog njihov, a oni narod moj!
28 And the nations shall know that I am the Lord who sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary will be in the midst of them for evermore.
I kad Svetište moje bude zauvijek među njima, znat će svi narodi da sam ja Jahve, koji posvećujem Izraela.'”
