Ezekiel 8

1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there fell upon me there the inspiration of the Lord Eternal.

Godine šeste, šestoga mjeseca, petoga dana, dok sjeđah u svojoj kući, a preda mnom starješine judejske, spusti se na me ruka Jahvina.

2 And I saw, and, behold, there was a likeness similar to the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins downward, it was fire; and from his loins upward, it was similar to the appearance of a bright light, like the glitter of amber.

Pogledah, i gle: tu kao neki čovjek; od njegovih kao bokova naniže oganj, a od njegovih kao bokova naviše bljeskanje, nešto poput usijane kovine.

3 And he stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by the locks of my head; and a spirit bore me between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to wrath.

Ispruži nešto nalik na ruku i uhvati me za kosu na glavi. Uto me duh podiže između zemlje i neba i ponese me u božanskome viđenju u Jeruzalem, na ulaz unutrašnjih vrata, što su okrenuta prema sjeveru gdje stoji kumir, ljubomora koja izaziva ljubomoru.

4 And, behold, there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had seen in the valley.

I gle, ondje bijaše Slava Boga Izraelova, kao što je vidjeh u dolini.

5 And he said unto me, Son of man, do but lift up thy eyes in the direction toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes in the direction toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar [there was] this image of jealousy at the entrance.

I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, podigni oči prema sjeveru!” I podigoh oči prema sjeveru. I gle, kumir, ljubomora, bijaše i na sjeveru, kraj vrata žrtvenika, na strani prema ulazu.

6 Then said he unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they are doing? great abominations are they that the house of Israel commit here, to make me go far away from my sanctuary; but thou shalt yet see still other great abominations.

I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, vidiš li što oni ovdje čine? Velike su to gnusobe što ih dom Izraelov ovdje čini, samo da me udalji iz mojega Svetišta. A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba!”

7 And he brought me to the door of the court: and I looked, and behold there was a hole in the wall.

I povede me do vrata predvorja. Pogledah, i gle: u zidu pukotina.

8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, do break [an opening] in the wall: and I broke [an opening] in the wall, and, behold, there was a door.

I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, probij taj zid!” Probih zid, a ono - ulaz!

9 And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing here.

I reče mi: “Uđi i pogledaj strahovite gadosti što se ovdje čine!”

10 So I went in and saw; and behold there was every form of creeping things, and cattle, abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraven upon the wall all round about.

Uđoh i pogledah. I gle, svakojake slike gmazova i gnusnih životinja - sve kumiri doma Izraelova, našarani na zidu, svuda uokolo.

11 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward.

A pred tim kumirima sedamdesetorica ljudi od starješina doma Izraelova, i među njima i Šafanov sin Jaazanija. I svakome od njih u ruci kadionica iz koje se podiže oblak kada miomirisnoga.

12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, vidiš li što u toj tami rade starješine doma Izraelova, svatko u svojoj oslikanoj komori? I još govore: Jahve nas ne vidi jer je Jahve napustio zemlju!”

13 And he said unto me, Thou shalt yet again see still other great abominations that they are doing.

I reče mi još: “A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba što se ovdje čine!”

14 And he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord's house which was on the north side: and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Thammuz.

I povede me do vrata Doma Jahvina što su okrenuta prema sjeveru. I gle, ondje sjeđahu žene i oplakivahu Tamuza.

15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see still other greater abominations than these.

I reče mi: “Vidiš li, sine čovječji? A vidjet ćeš i gorih gnusoba od ovih!”

16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward to the sun.

I povede me u unutrašnje predvorje Doma Jahvina. Ondje, na ulazu u Hekal Jahvin, između trijema i žrtvenika, bijaše oko dvadeset i pet ljudi, okrenutih leđima Hekalu Jahvinu, a licem prema istoku, i ondje se prema istoku klanjahu suncu.

17 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and they constantly repeat to provoke me to anger; and, lo, they stretch forth the branch to their nose.

I reče mi: “Vidiš li to, sine čovječji? Malo li je domu Judinu svih ovih gnusoba što ih ovdje čine, nego mi još zemlju pune i nasiljem, i ponovo me izazivaju i granama pred nosom mašu?

18 Therefore I also will deal in fury; my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare: and though they call before my ears with a loud voice, will I still not hear them.

Zato ću i ja sada postupiti s njima jarosno i oči se moje više neće sažaliti i neću im se smilovati. I kad stanu iza glasa vikati na moje uši, neću ih uslišiti.”
