Ezekiel 44
1 And he causes me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
Potom me odvede natrag k izvanjskim vratima Svetišta, koja gledaju na istok: bijahu zatvorena.
2 And YHWH says to me, “This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, has come in by it, and it has been 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 The prince, who [is] prince, he sits by it to eat bread before YHWH, he comes in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.”
Samo knez, jer je knez, smije sjesti tu i blagovati pred Jahvom; tada neka uđe kroz trijem vrata i istim putem neka izađe.”
4 And he brings me in the way of the north gate to the front of the house, and I look, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH, and I fall on my face.
Zatim me odvede k sjevernim vratima pred Dom. Pogledah, i gle: Slava Jahvina bijaše napunila Dom Jahvin. Padoh ničice.
5 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, all that I am speaking with you, all of the statutes of the house of YHWH, and all of its laws; and you have set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets 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 have said to [the] rebellion, to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Enough from you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Reci rodu odmetničkom, domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Previše je već vaših gnusoba, dome Izraelov!
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by 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 you have not kept [the] charge of My holy things, and you set [others] for keeping My charge in My sanctuary for you.
Niste sami čuvali moje svetinje, nego ste njih namjestili namjesto sebe kao čuvare u mojem Svetištu.'
9 Thus said Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, comes into My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons 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 who have gone far off from Me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne 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 And they have been servants in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and servants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve 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 that they serve them before their idols, and have been for a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them—a declaration of Lord YHWH—and they have borne 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 do not draw near to Me to act as My priest, and to draw near to any of My holy things, to the Holy of Holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
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 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Postavit ću ih da u Domu rade svaki posao i sve što treba u njemu svršiti.
15 And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near to Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring fat and blood near to Me—a declaration of Lord YHWH:
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 come into My sanctuary, and they draw near to My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
Oni smiju ulaziti u moje Svetište i pristupati k mojem stolu da mi služe i da vrše službu.
17 And it has come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, they put on linen garments; and no wool comes up on them in their ministering 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 Linen headdresses are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
Na glavama neka nose lanene kape, oko bokova gaće lanene: neka se ne pašu ničim od čega bi se znojili.
19 And in their going forth to the outer court—to the outer court to the people—they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own 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 And they do not shave their head, and they do not send forth the lock; they certainly trim their heads.
I neka ne briju glave, a ni bujne kose neka ne puštaju, nego neka strigu kosu.
21 And no priest drinks wine in their coming into the inner court.
I nijedan svećenik, kad mu je poći u unutrašnje predvorje, neka ne pije vina.
22 And they do not take a widow or divorced woman to themselves for wives, but they take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest.
Neka se ne žene udovicom ili puštenicom nego samo djevojkom iz roda Izraelova ili udovicom svećenikovom.
23 And they direct My people between holy and common, and they cause them to discern between unclean and clean.
Neka mi narod uče razlikovati sveto od nesvetoga, lučiti nečisto od čistoga.
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; they judge it with My judgments; and they keep My law and My statutes in all My appointed places; and they sanctify 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 he does not come near to any dead man to be defiled, but if for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who has not been to a man, 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 his cleansing, they number seven days to him.
Pošto se nakon toga koji očisti, neka mu se broji sedam dana:
27 And in the day of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he brings his sin-offering near—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
a onda kad uđe u Svetište, u unutrašnje predvorje da služi u Svetištu, neka prinese žrtvu okajnicu - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
28 And it has been for an inheritance to them; I [am] their inheritance, and you do not give a possession to them 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 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
Hranit će se od žrtava prinosnica, okajnica i naknadnica, i sve zavjetovano u Izraelu njima pripada.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every raised-offering of all, of all your raised-offerings, are the priests’; and you give the first of your dough to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on your 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 do not eat any carcass or torn thing, from the bird or from the beast.”
Svećenici ne smiju jesti mesa od uginulih i razderanih životinja - bilo od ptica ili stoke.
