Ezekiel 14

1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.

Potom doðoše k meni neki od starješina Izrailjevijeh i sjedoše preda me.

2 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

3 "Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

Sine èovjeèji, ovi su ljudi stavili u srca svoja gadne bogove svoje, i metnuli su preda se o što se spotièu na bezakonje svoje; traže li me doista?

4 Therefore speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him in it according to the multitude of his idols;

Zato govori im i reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ko je god od doma Izrailjeva stavio u srce svoje gadne bogove svoje i metnuo preda se o što se spotièe na bezakonje svoje, pa doðe k proroku, ja Gospod odgovoriæu mu kad doðe za mnoštvo gadnijeh bogova njegovijeh,

5 that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols."'

Da uhvatim dom Izrailjev za srce njihovo što su se odvratili od mene svi za gadnijem bogovima svojim.

6 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Return, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

Zato reci domu Izrailjevu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: obratite se i otstupite od gadnijeh bogova svojih, odvratite lice svoje od svijeh gadova svojih.

7 For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:

Jer ko bi god od doma Izrailjeva ili od inostranaca koji žive u Izrailju otstupio od mene, i stavio u srce svoje gadne bogove svoje, i metnuo preda se o što æe se spoticati na bezakonje svoje, pa bi došao k proroku da me upita preko njega, njemu æu odgovoriti ja sam Gospod sobom.

8 and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

I okrenuæu lice svoje prema tom èovjeku, i uèiniæu od njega znak i prièu, i istrijebiæu ga iz naroda svojega, te æete poznati da sam ja Gospod.

9 "'"If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

I ako bi se prorok prevario, te rekao što, ja Gospod prevarih onoga proroka, i dignuæu ruku svoju na nj, i istrijebiæu ga iz naroda svojega Izrailja.

10 They shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him;

I ponijeæe obojica svoje bezakonje: kako je bezakonje onoga koji pita tako æe biti i prorokovo bezakonje,

11 that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God," says the LORD.'"

Da više dom Izrailjev ne otstupa od mene i da se više ne skvrne svakojakim prijestupima svojim, nego da mi budu narod, i ja da im budem Bog, govori Gospod Gospod.

12 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

13 "Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal;

Sine èovjeèji, ako mi koja zemlja zgriješi uèinivši nevjeru, i ja dignem ruku svoju na nju i slomim joj potporu u hljebu, i pustim na nju glad i istrijebim u njoj ljude i stoku,

14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the LORD."

Ako bi u njoj bila ova tri èovjeka: Noje, Danilo i Jov, oni æe pravdom svojom izbaviti duše svoje, govori Gospod Gospod.

15 "If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals;

Ako pustim ljute zvijeri u zemlju, te pomore ljude, i ona opusti da niko ne može prolaziti od zvijerja;

16 though these three men were in it, as I live," says the LORD, "they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.

Ako bi u njoj bila ta tri èovjeka, tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neæe izbaviti sinova ni kæeri, nego æe se sami izbaviti, a zemlja æe opustjeti.

17 "Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, 'Sword, go through the land'; so that I cut off from it man and animal;

Ili ako maè pustim na tu zemlju, i reèem: maèu, proði tu zemlju, da istrijebim u njoj ljude i stoku;

18 though these three men were in it, as I live, says the LORD, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.

Ako bi ta tri èovjeka bila u njoj, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, neæe izbaviti sinova ni kæeri, nego æe se sami izbaviti.

19 "Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal;

Ili ako pustim pomor na zemlju i izlijem gnjev svoj na nju da bi krv tekla da istrijebim u njoj ljude i stoku;

20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the LORD, they could not save either son nor daughter; they would save only their own souls by their righteousness.

Ako bi Noje, Danilo i Jov bili u njoj, tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neæe izbaviti sina ni kæeri, nego æe svoje duše izbaviti pravdom svojom.

21 "For thus says the LORD: 'How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal.

Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: akamoli kad pustim èetiri ljuta zla svoja, maè i glad i zle zvijeri i pomor na Jerusalim, da istrijebim u njemu ljude i stoku.

22 Yet, look, there shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: look, they shall come forth to you, and you shall see their way and their doings; and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.

I opet, gle, nekoliko æe ih ostati u njemu koji æe se izbaviti, sinovi ili kæeri, oni æe izaæi k vama, i vidjeæete put njihov i djela njihova, i utješiæete se za zlo koje æu pustiti na Jerusalim, za sve što æu pustiti na nj.

23 They shall comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it,' says the LORD."

I oni æe vas utješiti kad vidite put njihov i djela njihova; i poznaæete da nijesam bez uzroka uèinio što sam god uèinio u njemu, govori Gospod Gospod.
