Ezekiel 18
1 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 “What do you mean, you who use this proverb concerning the land of Israel and say, 'Fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are made blunt'?
Šta hoæete vi koji govorite prièu o zemlji Izrailjevoj govoreæi: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi?
3 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—there will certainly no longer be any occasion for you to use this proverb in Israel.
Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, neæete više govoriti te prièe u Izrailju.
4 Behold! Every life belong to me—the life of the father as well as the life of the son, they belong to me! The soul who sins is the one who will die!
Gle, sve su duše moje, kako duša oèina tako i duša sinovlja moja je, koja duša zgriješi ona æe poginuti.
5 What can be said about a man who is righteous and who carries out justice and righteousness—
Jer ako je ko pravedan i èini sud i pravdu,
6 if he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and he does not defile his neighbor's wife, nor approached a woman during her monthly period, is he a righteous man?
Na gorama ne jede i oèiju svojih ne podiže ka gadnijem bogovima doma Izrailjeva, i ne skvrni žene bližnjega svojega i ne ide k ženi odvojenoj radi neèistote,
7 What can be said about a man who does not oppress anyone, and he gives back to the debtor what was put up as security for a loan, and he does not commit theft but gives his food to the hungry and he covers the naked with clothes, is he a righteous man?
I nikome ne èini nasilja, zalog dužniku svojemu vraæa, ništa ne otima, hljeb svoj daje gladnome i gologa odijeva,
8 What can be said about a man who does not charge too much interest for the money he loans, and he does not take too much profit for what he sells? It is said of him that he carries out justice and establishes faithfulness between people.
Ne daje na dobit i ne uzima pridavka, od nepravde usteže ruku svoju, i pravo sudi izmeðu jednoga èovjeka i drugoga,
9 If that man walks in my statutes and keeps my decrees to act faithfully, then the promise for this righteous man is this: He will surely live!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Po uredbama mojim hodi, i drži zakone moje tvoreæi istinu; taj je pravedan, doista æe živjeti, govori Gospod Gospod.
10 But suppose that he has a violent son who sheds blood and does any one of these things that were mentioned,
Ako rodi sina lupeža, koji bi krv proljevao ili bi èinio tako što,
11 (though his father has not done any of these things). He eats upon the mountains and he defiles his neighbor's wife, what can be said about him?
A ne bi èinio svega onoga, nego bi jeo na gorama, i ženu bližnjega svojega skvrnio,
12 This man oppresses the poor and needy, and he seizes and robs, and he does not return a pledge, and he lifts up his eyes to the idols and commits disgusting actions,
Siromahu i ubogome nasilje èinio, otimao što, zaloga ne bi vraæao, i ka gadnijem bogovima podizao bi oèi svoje èineæi gad,
13 and he lends out money at too high interest and he makes too much profit on what he sells, should that man live? Surely he will not! He will certainly die and his blood will be on him because he has done all these detestable things.
Davao bi na dobit, i uzimao pridavak; hoæe li taj živjeti? Neæe živjeti; uèinio je sve te gadove, doista æe poginuti, krv æe njegova na njemu biti.
14 But behold! Suppose there is a man who bears a son, and his son sees all the sins that his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do those things.
Ali gle, ako rodi sina koji bi vidio sve grijehe oca svojega što èini, i uzeo bi na um, te ne bi èinio onako,
15 That son does not eat upon the mountains, and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and he does not defile his neighbor's wife, what can be said about him?
Ne bi jeo na gorama, niti bi oèiju svojih podizao ka gadnijem bogovima doma Izrailjeva, žene bližnjega svojega ne bi skvrnio,
16 That son does not oppress anyone, or seize a pledge, or take stolen things, but instead gives his food to the hungry and covers up the naked with clothes.
I nikome ne bi èinio nasilja, zaloga ne bi uzimao i ne bi ništa otimao, davao bi hljeb svoj gladnome i gologa bi odijevao,
17 That son does not oppress anyone or take interest that is too high or make too much profit for a loan, but he carries out my decrees and walks according to my statutes; that son will not die for his father's sin: He will surely live!
Od siromaha bi ustezao ruku svoju, ne bi uzimao dobiti ni pridavka, zakone bi moje izvršivao i po uredbama mojim hodio; taj neæe poginuti za bezakonje oca svojega, doista æe živjeti.
18 His father, since he oppressed others by extortion and robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people—behold, he will die in his iniquity.
A otac njegov, što je èinio nasilje, otimao od brata svojega i èinio što nije dobro u narodu svom, gle, on æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje.
19 But you say, 'Why does the son not bear the iniquity of his father?' Because the son carries out justice and righteousness and keeps all my statutes; he does them. He will surely live!
Ali govorite: zašto da ne nosi sin bezakonja oèina? Jer sin èini sud i pravdu, sve uredbe moje drži i izvršuje; doista æe živjeti.
20 The one who sins, he is the one who will die. A son will not bear his father's iniquity, and a father will not bear his son's iniquity. The righteousness of the one who acts rightly will be on himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be on himself.
Koja duša zgriješi ona æe umrijeti, sin neæe nositi bezakonja oèina niti æe otac nositi bezakonja sinovljega; na pravedniku æe biti pravda njegova, a na bezbožniku æe biti bezbožnost njegova.
21 But if the wicked turns away from all his sins that he has done, and keeps all my statutes and performs justice and righteousness, then he will certainly live and not die.
Ako li bi se bezbožnik obratio od svijeh grijeha svojih koje uèini, i držao bi sve uredbe moje i tvorio sud i pravdu, doista æe živjeti, neæe poginuti.
22 All the transgressions that he has committed will not be called to mind against him. He will live by the righteousness that he practices.
Bezakonja njegova što ih je god uèinio neæe mu se više spominjati, u pravdi svojoj koju èini živjeæe.
23 Do I greatly rejoice over the death of the wicked—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and not in his turning away from his way so that he may live?
Eda li je meni milo da pogine bezbožnik? govori Gospod, a ne da se odvrati od putova svojih i bude živ?
24 But if the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and practices abominations like all the abominations that the wicked person does, then will he live? All the righteousness that he had done will not be called to mind when he betrays me in his treason. So he will die in the sins that he committed.
Ali kad bi se pravednik odvratio od pravde svoje i èinio nepravdu, i radio po svijem gadovima koje èini bezbožnik, hoæe li on živjeti? pravedna djela njegova, što je god èinio, neæe se spomenuti; za bezakonje svoje koje uèini i za grijeh svoj kojim zgriješi poginuæe.
25 But you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' Listen, house of Israel! Are my ways unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?
Još govorite: nije prav put Gospodnji. Èujte, dome Izrailjev, moj li put nije prav? nijesu li vaši putovi nepravi?
26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity and dies because of them, then he will die in the iniquity that he has done.
Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i èini zlo i umre zato, umrijeæe za zlo svoje koje uèini.
27 But when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has done and performs justice and righteousness, then he will preserve his life.
A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od bezbožnosti svoje koju je èinio, i èini sud i pravdu, on æe saèuvati u životu dušu svoju.
28 For he has seen and turned away from all the transgressions that he had done. He will surely live, and he will not die.
Jer uzevši na um vrati se od svijeh bezakonja svojih koja uèini; doista æe živjeti, i neæe poginuti.
29 But the house of Israel says, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' How is my way not fair, house of Israel? It is your ways that are not fair.
Ali dom Izrailjev veli: put Gospodnji nije prav. Moji li putovi nijesu pravi? dome Izrailjev, nijesu li vaši putovi nepravi?
30 Therefore I will judge each man among you according to his ways, house of Israel!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Repent and turn away from all your transgressions so that they will not be stumbling blocks of iniquity against you.
Zato, dome Izrailjev, sudiæu vam svakome po putovima njegovijem, govori Gospod; obratite se i proðite se svijeh grijeha svojih, i neæe vam bezakonje biti na spoticanje.
31 Throw away from yourselves all of the transgressions that you have committed; make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, house of Israel?
Odbacite od sebe sva bezakonja koja èiniste, i naèinite sebi novo srce i nov duh; i zašto da mrete? dome Izrailjev.
32 For I have no delight in the death of the one who dies—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—so repent and live!”
Jer mi nije mila smrt onoga koji mre, govori Gospod Gospod; obratite se dakle i budite živi.
