Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 Son of man Speak unto the sons of thy people and thou shalt say unto them, A land—when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as watchman;
“Sine čovječji, govori sinovima naroda svojega! Reci: 'Ako ja na neku zemlju dovedem mač, a narod te zemlje uzme jednoga između sebe i postavi ga za stražara,
3 And he shall see the sword coming upon the land, —and shall blow with the horn and warn the people
a on - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - zatrubi u rog i opomene sav narod:
4 Then as for him who really heard the sound of the horn and took not warning, The sword indeed hath come and taken him away, — His blood, upon his own head shall remain: —
ako se tada onaj koji čuje glas roga ne da opomenuti te mač dođe i pogubi ga - krv njegova past će na glavu njegovu:
5 The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself shall remain, — Whereas had he taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered.
jer, čuo je glas roga, ali se ne dade opomenuti - krv njegova past će na njega. Da se dao opomenuti, spasio bi život.
6 But as for the watchman-When he seeth the sword coming. And hath not blown with the horn. And the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come and taken away from among them any person he, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But his blood at the hand of the watchman will I require.
A opet, ako stražar - videći da mač dolazi na zemlju - ne zatrubi u rog i ne opomene narod te mač dođe i pogubi koga od njih: taj je, doduše, poginuo zbog svoga grijeha, ali ću ja krv njegovu tražiti iz stražarove ruke.'
7 Thou therefore Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel, So then thou shalt hear at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
I tebe sam, sine čovječji, postavio za stražara domu Izraelovu: kad čuješ riječ iz mojih usta, opomeni ih u moje ime.
8 When I say to the lawless man O lawless man thou shalt surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way He the lawless man for his iniquity shall die, But his blood- at thy hand- will I demand.
Reknem li bezbožniku: 'Bezbožniče, umrijet ćeš!' - a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, bezbožnik će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, ali krv njegovu tražit ću iz tvoje ruke.
9 But as for thyself When thou hast warned a lawless man from his way, to turn therefrom, And he hath not turned from his way He, for his own iniquity shall die, But thou hast delivered thine own life,
Ali ako bezbožnika opomeneš da se vrati od svojega zloga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svojega puta: on će umrijeti zbog svojega grijeha, a ti si spasio život svoj.
10 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Say unto the house of Israel, Thus, have ye spoken saying: When our transgressions and our sins are upon us, —and for them, we are melting away How then can we live?
Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: Vi govorite: 'Prijestupi i grijesi naši pritišću nas i zbog njih propadamo! I da još živimo?'
11 Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live, - Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O house of Israel?
Odgovori im: 'Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nije meni do smrti bezbožnikove, nego da se odvrati od zloga puta svojega i da živi! Obratite se, dakle, obratite od zloga puta svojega! Zašto da umrete, dome Izraelov!'
12 Thou, therefore, Son of man Say unto the sons of thy people— The righteousness of the righteous man, shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And as for the lawlessness of the lawless man, He shall not stumble thereby, in the day of his return from his lawlessness, - Nor shall the righteous man be able to live thereby, in the day of his sin.
Sine čovječji, reci sinovima naroda svoga: 'Pravednika neće izbaviti pravednost njegova u dan kad sagriješi niti će bezbožnik stradati zbog svoje bezbožnosti u dan kad se od nje odvrati, kao što ni pravednik neće moći ostati na životu u dan kad sagriješi.
13 When I say of the righteous man He shall surely live but he hath trusted in his righteousness and committed perversity None of his righteous deeds shall be mentioned, But by his perversity which he hath committed—thereby, shall he die.
Reknem li ja prevedniku: 'Živjet ćeš!' a on se pouzda u svoju pravednost i stane činiti nepravdu, zaboravit ću svu njegovu pravednost, i on će umrijeti zbog nepravde što je počini!
14 And when I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, but he shall turn from his sin, and do justice and righteousness:
A reknem li bezbožniku: 'Umrijet ćeš!' a on se odvrati od grijeha svojega i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi,
15 The debt-pledge, the lawless man shall restore Plunder, shall pay back, In the statutes of life, hath walked, so as not to commit perversity. He shall surely live he shall not die: —
vrati zalog, plati oteto i stane živjeti po zakonima života, ne čineći bezakonja - živjet će, neće umrijeti!
16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be called to mind against him, — Justice and righteousness, hath he done He shall surely live.
I svi grijesi njegovi što ih bijaše počinio bit će mu zaboravljeni. Radi po zakonu i pravdi, živjet će!'
17 And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal!
Ali sinovi naroda tvoga govore: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Njihov put nije pravedan!
18 When the righteous man shall turn from his righteousness and commit perversity Then shall he die for them;
Ako se pravednik odvrati od svoje pravednosti i stane činiti nepravdu, on će stoga umrijeti.
19 But when the lawless man shall turn from his lawlessness, and do justice and righteousness Upon them, shall he live.
A ako se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i stane raditi po zakonu i pravdi, on će zbog toga živjeti.
20 And can ye then say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Every man—according to his own ways so will I judge you O house of Israel?
A vi velite: 'Jahvin put nije pravedan!' Svakome ću od vas suditi prema putovima njegovim, dome Izraelov!”
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month on the fifth of the month of our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem saying. Smitten is the city!
Godine dvanaeste, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana našeg izgnanstva, dođe k meni bjegunac iz Jeruzalema i reče: “Pade grad!”
22 Now the hand of Yahweh, had come unto me in the evening, before the coming of him who had escaped, and he had opened my mouth, by the time that he came to me in the morning, —so my mouth, was opened, and I was dumb no longer.
Ruka se Jahvina spustila na me uveče, prije dolaska toga bjegunca, i otvorila mi usta prije negoli on dođe k meni ujutro! Otvoriše mi se, dakle, usta i ja više ne bijah nijem.
23 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
24 Son of man These inhabitants of waste places on the soil of Israel are saying thus, One, was Abraham. Yet he inherited the land, - But, we, are many, To us, is the land given as an inheritance.
“Sine čovječji, oni koji žive u ovim ruševinama zemlje Izraelove govore: 'Jedan bijaše Abraham i baštini ovu zemlju, a nas je mnogo - nama je zemlja dana u posjed!'
25 Wherefore say unto them Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh. -With the blood, ye do eat. And your eyes, ye do lift up unto your manufactured gods. And blood, ye do shed; And the land, shall ye inherit?
Stoga im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Vi blagujete po gorama, oči podižete kumirima svojim, krv prolijevate - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?
26 Ye men have taken your stand by your sword. Ye women have wrought abomination, And every man—with the wife of his neighbour, have ye defiled yourselves; And the land, shall ye inherit?
Na svoj se mač oslanjate, činite gadosti, oskvrnjujete ženu bližnjega - i još da posjedujete ovu zemlju?'
27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As I live, surely, they who are in the waste places by the sword, shall fall, And him who is on the face of the field to the wild beast, have I given to be devoured, - And they who are in the mountain holds and in the pits: by pestilence, shall die;
Ovo im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Života mi moga, oni koji su u ruševinama od mača će pasti; one koji su u polju dat ću zvijerima da ih proždru; a koji su u utvrdama i po pećinama od kuge će poginuti!
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, So shall be made to cease the pride of her strength, - And the mountains of Israel shall be too desolate for any to pass through.
Tako ću zemlju ovu razoriti i opustošiti i nestat će zauvijek drskoga njezina ponosa. Opustjet će gore Izraelove i nitko više neće njima prolaziti.
29 So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, — When I make the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
I znat će da sam ja Jahve kad zemlju njihovu razorim i opustošim zbog svih gadosti što ih počiniše.'
30 Thou therefore Son of man, the sons of thy people who are talking against thee Near the walls and in the entrances of the houses, are speaking one with another, every man with his brother saying. Come in we pray you and heat, what is the word that is coming forth from Yahweh;
A o tebi, sine čovječji, sinovi naroda tvoga kazuju uza zidove i na kućnim vratima i govore jedan drugom: 'Hajde da čujemo kakva je to riječ došla od Jahve!'
31 That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But, the words themselves, will they not do, — though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.
I hrle k tebi kao na zbor narodni; i narod moj sjeda preda te i sluša tvoje riječi, ali ih ne izvršuje: naslađuju se njima u ustima, a srce im ide za nepravednim dobitkom.
32 And lo! thou art to them— As a bewitching song, Of one with a beautiful voice. And skilfully touching the strings, —So will they hear thy words, And yet be going to do none of them.
I gle, ti si za njih kao slatka pjesma uz glazbu otpjevana glasom umilnim: riječi ti slušaju, ali ih ne izvršuju.
33 But when it cometh Lo! it is coming, Then shall they know that a prophet hath been in their midst.
Ali kad sve ovo dođe - gle, već dolazi - znat će da prorok bijaše među njima!”
