Ezekiel 23

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

“Sine čovječji, bile dvije žene, kćeri jedne matere.

3 and they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

I odaše se bludu u Egiptu, blud činiše u mladosti: ondje su im grudi stiskali, djevojačke dojke gnječili.

4 And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

Starijoj bijaše ime Ohola, a sestri joj Oholiba. Obje moje postadoše i rodiše mi sinove i kćeri. Evo im imenÄa: Samarija je Ohola, Jeruzalem Oholiba.

5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,

Ohola, iako meni pripadaše, bludu se odala; uspalila se za ljubavnicima, za Asircima, susjedima svojim,

6 which were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

u modri baršun odjevenima, sve samim vojvodama i namjesnicima, pristalim momcima, vještim konjanicima.

7 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them: and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

I oda se bludu s njima, sve poizbor sinovima asirskim; i usplamtjev za njima, okalja se svim njihovim kumirima.

8 Neither hath, she left her whoredoms since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the teats of her virginity: and they poured out their whoredom upon her.

A ne okani se ni bluda s Egipćanima, koji s njome ležahu od njezine mladosti, koji su joj djevojačke dojke gnječili i na nju blud svoj izlijevali.

9 Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

I zato je predah u ruke njenim ljubavnicima, u ruke Asircima za kojima se uspalila.

10 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.

I oni je razgoliše, zarobiše joj sinove i kćeri, a nju samu mačem pogubiše. I postade tako primjer svim ženama kako na njoj bi sud izvršen.

11 And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.

Vidje to sestra joj Oholiba, ali se još gore uspali i gori blud činjaše.

12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbours, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

Za sinovima se asirskim uspaljivala, sve samim vojvodama i namjesnicima, svojim susjedima, raskošno odjevenim, vještim konjanicima, poizbor momcima.

13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

I vidjeh kako se okaljala: obje su istim putem pošle.

14 And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

Ali se ova još gore bludu odala: kad bi ugledala muškarca na zidu naslikana, likove Kaldejaca crvenilom nacrtane,

15 girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.

bedara pasom opasanih, sa spuštenim povezima na glavama - sve junake, prave Babilonce, rodom iz zemlje kaldejske -

16 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

tek što bi ugledala priliku njihovu, sva bi se za njima uspalila te im slala poslanike u zemlju kaldejsku.

17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love; and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

Sinovi babilonski k njoj bi dohrlili na ljubavnu postelju da je bludom kaljaju. A kad bi se s njima okaljala, zgadili bi joj se.

18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.

Ali se razglasilo njezino bludništvo, otkrila se njena golotinja, i duša se moja od nje odvratila, kao što se bješe odvratila od sestre njene.

19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

Jer ona se još gorem bludu predala, opominjući se dana svoje mladosti kad se u Egiptu bludu odavala,

20 And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

uspaljujući se za razvratnicima kojima muška snaga bijaše kao u magaraca, a izljev kao u pastuha.

21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the bruising of thy teats by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.

Tako se opet vrati sramoti svoje mladosti, kad su joj u Egiptu grudi pritiskivali, djevičanske dojke gnječili.

22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;

Zato, Oholibo, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Gle, dignut ću na te tvoje ljubavnike, koji ti se duši ogadiše, i dovest ću ih odasvud na tebe:

23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them: desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.

Babilonce, sve Kaldejce, Pekođane, Šoance i Koance, a s njima sve sinove asirske - sve poizbor momke, vojvode i namjesnike, na glasu junake, vješte konjanike.

24 And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with an assembly of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

I doći će na te sa sjevera sila bojnih kola i točkova s mnoštvom naroda i svrstat' se odasvud protiv tebe sa štitovima, štitićima i oklopima. Njima ću te na sud predati, i svojim će ti sudom suditi.

25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

Oborit ću na te svu svoju ljubomoru, neka s tobom jarosno postupe: nos i uši neka ti odsijeku, a ostatak tvoj da od mača padne; sinove i kćeri da ti odvedu, a ostatak tvoj da oganj proguta.

26 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.

I zderat će s tebe tvoje haljine i oteti sve tvoje nakite.

27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

Tako ću okončati svu tvoju sramotu i bludničenje, sve tamo od Egipta: nećeš više k njima oči dizati i nećeš se više spominjati Egipta!'

28 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated:

Jer, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me! Predat ću te u ruke onima koji ti omrznuše, koji ti se duši ogadiše.

29 and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

Neka iskale na tebi svoju mržnju, neka ti svu muku preotmu, a tebe nek' ostave golu i nagu! Neka se obnaži sva golotinja tvoje bludnosti i besramnosti, tvojeg bludničenja.

30 These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.

Sve će te to stići zbog tvojeg bludničenja s narodima i jer si se okaljala njihovim kumirima.

31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.

Putem si sestre svoje hodila: dat ću ti u ruku čašu njezinu:

32 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Čašu sestre svoje ispit ćeš, čašu široku, duboku, i bit ćeš na podsmijeh i ruglo - mnogo u nju stane! -

33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

napunit ćeš se pijanstva i žalosti! Čaša je to pustošenja, užasa - čaša sestre tvoje Samarije.

34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

Pit ćeš je, do dna iskapiti, zatim u komade razbiti, grudi svoje izraniti. Jer, ja tako rekoh' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer ti mene zaboravi i leđa mi okrenu, snosi sada svu svoju sramotu i bestidnost!'”

36 The LORD said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations.

I još mi reče Jahve: “Sine čovječji, hoćeš li suditi Oholi i Oholibi, pokazati im njihove gadosti?

37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through [the fire] unto them to be devoured.

Preljub počiniše, ruke su im okrvavljene, s kumirima svojim preljub učiniše, djecu koju mi porodiše provedoše kroz oganj da ih proguta.

38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

Još mi i ovo učiniše: onoga dana obeščastiše moje Svetište i subote moje oskvrnuše.

39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

Jer istoga dana kad djecu svoju kumirima klaše, u Svetište moje dođoše da ga obeščaste. Eto, tako uradiše usred Doma mojega.

40 And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far: unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments;

Slale su čak po muškarce izdaleka, i oni bi im pohrlili čim bi glasnici k njima stigli. A ti se za njih kupala, oči svoje mazala i nakitom se kitila.

41 and satest upon a stately bed. with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil.

A potom bi sjedala na raskošnu postelju pred kojom stol prostrt bijaše na koji si stavljala moj tamjan i moje ulje.

42 And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

Tu se čulo pocikivanje bezbrižnog društva zbog velikog mnoštva dovedena sa svih strana pustinje; stavljali su ženama na ruke narukvice i na glavu vijence prekrasne.

43 Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them].

I rekoh: 'Sa ženom ogrezlom u preljubu još blud tjeraju, i sama se ona još bludu odaje!'

44 And they went in unto her, as they go in unto an harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women.

Prilaze joj kao kakvoj bludnici! Da, prilazili su k Oholi i Oholibi, pokvarenicama.

45 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

Zato će im pravednici suditi kao što se sudi preljubnicama i onima koji krv prolijevaju, jer - one su preljubnice, ruke su im okrvavljene.

46 For thus saith the Lord GOD: I will bring up an assembly against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and spoiled.

Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Neka se protiv njih zbor sazove da ih izvrgnem zlostavljanju i pljački.

47 And the assembly shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

Zbor neka ih kamenuje i mačevima raskomada; sinove i kćeri neka im pokolje, a domove ognjem spali.

48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

Tako ću iz zemlje istrijebiti sramotu, da se druge žene opomenu i ne čine djela vaših sramotnih.

49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

A na vas ću oboriti svu vašu bestidnost, ispaštat ćete grijehe idolopoklonstva. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve Gospod.'”
