Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

2 Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, —a branch, that is among the trees of the forest?

Sine èovjeèji, šta je drvo od loze vinove prema svakom drugom drvetu, ili loza vinova prema drveæu u šumi?

3 Shall wood be taken from it to be wrought into any work? Or will men take a pin of it to hang a vessel upon?

Uzima li se od nje drvo da se naèini što? uzima li se od nje klin da se objesi o njemu kakav sud?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the middle of it is burned. Is it then fit for any work?

Gle, meæe se u oganj da izgori; kad joj oba kraja sažeže oganj, i sredina joj izgori, hoæe li još biti za što?

5 Behold, when it was whole, nothing could be made of it; how much less can anything be made of it when the fire hath devoured it and it is burned!

Gle, dok bijaše cijela, ne mogaše se ništa od nje naèiniti, akamoli æe biti za što kad je oganj proždrije i izgorje.

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give to it the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: kakvo je meðu drvetima šumskim drvo od vinove loze, koje dadoh ognju da ga jede, take æu uèiniti stanovnike Jerusalimske.

7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them.

Jer æu im nasuprot okrenuti lice svoje; kad izidu iz jednoga ognja, drugi æe ih oganj proždrijeti, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod, kad okrenem lice svoje nasuprot njima.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have grievously trespassed, saith the Lord Jehovah.

I obratiæu zemlju u pustinju, jer uèiniše nevjeru, govori Gospod Gospod.
