Ezekiel 33

1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

2 "Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, 'When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;

Sine èovjeèji, govori sinovima naroda svojega, i kaži im: kad pustim na koju zemlju maè, ako narod one zemlje uzme koga izmeðu sebe, i postave ga sebi za stražara,

3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

I on vidjevši maè gdje ide na zemlju zatrubi u trubu, i opomene narod,

4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

Ako se ko èuvši trubu ne uzme na um, i maè došavši pogubi ga, krv æe njegova biti na njegovoj glavi.

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.

Jer èu glas trubni, i ne uze se na um, krv æe njegova biti na njemu; da se uze na um, saèuvao bi dušu svoju.

6 But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.'

Ako li stražar vidjevši maè gdje ide ne zatrubi u trubu i narod ne bude opomenut, a maè došav pogubi koga izmeðu njih, taj æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz ruke stražareve.

7 "So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

I tebe, sine èovjeèji, tebe postavih stražarem domu Izrailjevu; slušaj dakle rijeè iz mojih usta i opominji ih od mene.

8 When I tell the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.

Kad reèem bezbožniku: bezbožnièe, poginuæeš; a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se proðe puta svojega; taj æe bezbožnik poginuti za svoje bezakonje; ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz tvoje ruke.

9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

Ako li ti opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati sa svoga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svoga puta, on æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, a ti æeš saèuvati dušu svoju.

10 "You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: 'Thus you speak, saying, "Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?"'

Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci domu Izrailjevu: vi govorite ovako i kažete: prijestupi naši i grijesi naši na nama su, i s njih propadamo; kako bismo živjeli?

11 Tell them, 'As I live,' says Jehovah, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?'

Reci im: tako bio ja živ, govori Gospod Gospod, nije mi milo da umre bezbožnik, nego da se vrati bezbožnik sa svoga puta i bude živ; vratite se, vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih, jer zašto da mrete, dome Izrailjev?

12 "You, son of man, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sins.'

Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci sinovima naroda svojega: pravednoga neæe izbaviti pravda njegova kad zgriješi, i bezbožnik neæe propasti sa bezbožnosti svoje kad se vrati od bezbožnosti svoje, kao što pravednik ne može s nje živjeti kad zgriješi.

13 When I say to the righteous "He shall surely live," but he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but he shall die because of the iniquity he has committed.

Kad reèem pravedniku da æe doista živjeti, a on se pouzda u pravdu svoju pa uèini nepravdu, od sve pravde njegove ništa se neæe spomenuti, nego æe poginuti s nepravde svoje koju uèini.

14 Again, when I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

A kad reèem bezbožniku: doista æeš poginuti, a on se obrati od grijeha svojega i stane èiniti sud i pravdu,

15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

I vrati bezbožnik zalog, i vrati što je oteo, i stane hoditi po uredbama životnijem ne èineæi bezakonja, doista æe biti živ, neæe umrijeti.

16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

Od svijeh grijeha što je zgriješio ništa mu se neæe spomenuti; èinio je sud i pravdu, doista æe živ biti.

17 "Yet the children of your people say, 'The way of Jehovah is not just': but as for them, their way is not just.

A sinovi naroda tvojega govore: nije prav put Gospodnji; a njihov put nije prav.

18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.

Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i uèini nepravdu, poginuæe s toga.

19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i uèini sud i pravdu, on æe živ biti s toga.

20 Yet you say, 'The way of Jehovah is not just.' House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways."

A vi govorite: nije prav put Gospodnji. Sudiæu vam, dome Izrailjev, svakome po putovima njegovijem.

21 It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, "The city has been struck."

A dvanaeste godine robovanja našega, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana doðe k meni jedan koji uteèe iz Jerusalima, i reèe: uze se grad.

22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been on me in the evening, before he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.

A ruka Gospodnja doðe nada me uveèe prije nego doðe onaj što uteèe, i otvori mi usta dokle onaj doðe k meni ujutru; otvoriše mi se usta, te više ne muèah.

23 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

24 "Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, 'Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.'

Sine èovjeèji, koji žive u onijem pustolinama u zemlji Izrailjevoj govore i kažu: Avram bijaše jedan, i naslijedi ovu zemlju; a nas je mnogo; nama je data ova zemlja u našljedstvo.

25 Therefore tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?

Zato im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: jedete s krvlju, i oèi svoje podižete ka gadnijem bogovima svojim, i krv proljevate, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?

26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?"'

Opirete se na maè svoj, èinite gadove, i skvrnite svaki ženu bližnjega svojega, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?

27 "You shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord Jehovah: "As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

Ovako im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, koji su u pustolinama, pašæe od maèa; i koji je u polju, zvijerima æu ga dati da ga izjedu; a koji su po gradovima i po peæinama, od pomora æe pomrijeti.

28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.

Tako æu sasvijem opustiti tu zemlju, i nestaæe ponosa sile njezine, i opustjeæe gore Izrailjeve da neæe niko prolaziti.

29 Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed."'

I oni æe poznati da sam ja Gospod kad zemlju sasvijem opustim za sve gadove njihove što èiniše.

30 "As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, 'Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.'

A o tebi, sine èovjeèji, sinovi naroda tvojega kazuju o tebi uza zidove i na vratima kuænijem, i govore jedan drugomu, svaki bratu svojemu, i vele: hodite i èujte kaka rijeè doðe od Gospoda.

31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

I dolaze k tebi kao kad se narod skuplja, i narod moj sjeda pred tobom, i sluša rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuje; u ustima su im ljupke a srce njihovo ide za svojim lakomstvom.

32 Look, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.

I gle, ti si im kao ljupka pjesma, kao èovjek lijepa glasa i koji dobro svira; slušaju rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuju.

33 When this comes to pass, (look, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them."

Ali kad to doðe, a evo ide, onda æe poznati da je bio prorok meðu njima.
