Ezekiel 34
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 “You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
“Sine čovječji, prorokuj protiv Izraelovih pastira, prorokuj im i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Jao pastirima Izraelovim koji napasaju sami sebe! Ne moraju li pastiri napasati stado?
3 [It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
Mlijekom se hranite, vunom odijevate, ovnove tovne koljete, a stada ne pasete.
4 You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
Nemoćnih ne krijepite, bolesnih ne liječite, ranjenih ne povijate, zalutalih natrag ne dovodite, izgubljenih ne tražite, nego nasilno i okrutno njima gospodarite.
5 So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
I tako se ovce raspršiše nemajuć' pastira, i raspršene postadoše plijen zvijerima.
6 My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
Ovce lutaju po svim gorama i visokim bregovima; po svoj su zemlji raspršene ovce moje i nitko za njih ne pita, nikoga nema da ih traži.'
7 Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
Zato, pastiri, čujte riječ Jahvinu:
8 As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
'Tako mi života, riječ je Jahve Gospoda: zato što ovce moje postadoše plijen i hrana zvijerima, nemajuć' pastira, dok pastiri moji ovaca mojih ne traže nego sami sebe pasu, a ne pasu stada mojega -
9 Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
zato, pastiri, čujte riječ Jahvinu:
10 I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me na pastire! Ovce svoje tražit ću iz ruku njihovih i neću im dati da mi više stado pasu ni da sami sebe pasu: istrgnut ću ovce iz usta njihovih, neće im više biti hrana.'
11 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me, sam ću potražiti ovce svoje i sam ću ih pasti!
12 Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
Kao što se pastir brine za ovce svoje kad se nađe uza stado raspršeno, i ja ću se pobrinuti za svoje ovce i skupit' ih iz svih mjesta u koje se raspršiše u dan oblaka i mraka.
13 I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
Izvest ću ih iz naroda, skupit ću ih iz zemalja i dovesti ih u zemlju njihovu da ih pasem na gorama izraelskim, po svim dolinama i travnjacima.
14 [It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
Past ću ih na izvrsnim pašama, ovčinjaci će im biti na visokim gorama izraelskim; ondje će počivati u dobrim ovčinjacima i past će na sočnim pašama, po gorama izraelskim.
15 I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
Sam ću pasti ovce svoje i sam ću im dati počinka - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
16 I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
Potražit ću izgubljenu, dovesti natrag zalutalu, povit ću ranjenu i okrijepiti nemoćnu, bdjeti nad pretilom i jakom - past ću ih pravedno.'
17 And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
A vama, ovce moje, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me da sudim između ovce i ovce, između ovnova i jaraca!
18 It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
Zar vam je malo pasti na dobroj paši te ostatak paše nogama gazite? Malo vam je piti bistru vodu te ostatak nogama mutite?
19 [It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
A moje ovce moraju pasti što vi nogama izgaziste, piti što vi nogama zamutiste.'
20 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me da sudim između ovce pretile i mršave!
21 [who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
Jer bokovima i plećima, bodući rogovima, slabe ovce guraste dok ih ne izguraste.
22 But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
Ja ću izbaviti ovce svoje da više ne budu plijenom i sudit ću između ovce i ovce.
23 And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
Postavit ću im jednoga pastira koji će ih pasti, slugu svoga Davida: on će ih sam pasti i bit će im pastir,
24 I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
a ja, Jahve, bit ću njihov Bog, i moj sluga David bit će im knez. Ja, Jahve, rekoh!
25 I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
I sklopit ću s njima Savez mira i uklonit ću iz zemlje sve divlje zvijeri, i živjet će mirno u pustinji i spavati po šumama.
26 I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
Njih i sve oko brda svojega učinit ću blagoslovom i dat ću im na vrijeme kišu, i bit će to kiša blagoslova.
27 The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
I drveće će poljsko donositi plodove, a zemlja će dati rod svoj. I oni će mirno živjeti u svojoj zemlji i znat će da sam ja Jahve kad slomim palice jarma njihova i kad ih izbavim iz ruku onih što ih podjarmiše.
28 [Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
I neće više biti plijenom narodima, i zvijeri ih više neće žderati, nego će mirno živjeti i nitko ih neće plašiti.
29 I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
I učinit ću da im probuja slavni nasad, i glad ih više neće zatirati, u zemlji više neće podnositi rug narodÄa.
30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
I znat će da sam ja, Jahve, Bog njihov, s njima i da su oni, dom Izraelov, narod moj - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
31 [It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
Vi, ovce moje, vi ste stado paše moje, a ja sam Bog vaš' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
