Ezekiel 33
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 “Son of man, declare this to your people; say to them, 'When I bring a sword against any land, then the people of that land take one man from among themselves and make him a watchman for them.
Sine èovjeèji, govori sinovima naroda svojega, i kaži im: kad pustim na koju zemlju maè, ako narod one zemlje uzme koga izmeðu sebe, i postave ga sebi za stražara,
3 He looks for the sword as it comes on the land, and he blows his horn to warn the people!
I on vidjevši maè gdje ide na zemlju zatrubi u trubu, i opomene narod,
4 If the people hear the sound of the horn but do not pay attention, and if the sword comes and kills them, then each one's blood is on his own head.
Ako se ko èuvši trubu ne uzme na um, i maè došavši pogubi ga, krv æe njegova biti na njegovoj glavi.
5 If someone hears the sound of the horn and pays no attention, his blood is on him; but if he pays attention, he will save his own life.
Jer èu glas trubni, i ne uze se na um, krv æe njegova biti na njemu; da se uze na um, saèuvao bi dušu svoju.
6 However, if the watchman sees the sword as it is coming, but if he does not blow the horn, with the result that the people are not warned, and if the sword comes and takes anyone's life, then that person dies in his own sin, but I will require his blood from the watchman.'
Ako li stražar vidjevši maè gdje ide ne zatrubi u trubu i narod ne bude opomenut, a maè došav pogubi koga izmeðu njih, taj æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz ruke stražareve.
7 Now you yourself, son of man! I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; you will hear the words from my mouth and warn them on my behalf.
I tebe, sine èovjeèji, tebe postavih stražarem domu Izrailjevu; slušaj dakle rijeè iz mojih usta i opominji ih od mene.
8 If I say to a wicked person, 'Wicked one, you will surely die!' but if you do not announce this so as to warn the wicked about his way, then he who is wicked will die in his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand!
Kad reèem bezbožniku: bezbožnièe, poginuæeš; a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se proðe puta svojega; taj æe bezbožnik poginuti za svoje bezakonje; ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz tvoje ruke.
9 But you, if you warn the wicked about his way, so that he might turn back from it, and if he does not turn back from his way, then he will die in his sin, but you yourself will have saved your own life.
Ako li ti opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati sa svoga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svoga puta, on æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, a ti æeš saèuvati dušu svoju.
10 So you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'You are saying this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are decaying in them! How can we live?”'
Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci domu Izrailjevu: vi govorite ovako i kažete: prijestupi naši i grijesi naši na nama su, i s njih propadamo; kako bismo živjeli?
11 Say to them, 'As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I do not delight in the death of the wicked, for if the wicked repents from his way, then he will live! Repent! Repent from your wicked ways! For why should you die, house of Israel?'
Reci im: tako bio ja živ, govori Gospod Gospod, nije mi milo da umre bezbožnik, nego da se vrati bezbožnik sa svoga puta i bude živ; vratite se, vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih, jer zašto da mrete, dome Izrailjev?
12 So now you, son of man, say to your people, 'The righteousness of a righteous person will not save him if he sins! The wickedness of a wicked person will not cause him to perish if he repents from his sin! For the righteous person will not be able to live because of his righteousness if he sins.
Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci sinovima naroda svojega: pravednoga neæe izbaviti pravda njegova kad zgriješi, i bezbožnik neæe propasti sa bezbožnosti svoje kad se vrati od bezbožnosti svoje, kao što pravednik ne može s nje živjeti kad zgriješi.
13 If I say to the righteous, “He will surely live!” and if he trusts in his righteousness and then commits injustice, I will not call to mind any of his righteousness. He will die for the wickedness he committed.
Kad reèem pravedniku da æe doista živjeti, a on se pouzda u pravdu svoju pa uèini nepravdu, od sve pravde njegove ništa se neæe spomenuti, nego æe poginuti s nepravde svoje koju uèini.
14 So if I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” but if he then repents from his sins and does what is just and right—
A kad reèem bezbožniku: doista æeš poginuti, a on se obrati od grijeha svojega i stane èiniti sud i pravdu,
15 if he restores the loan guarantee that he wickedly demanded, or if he makes restitution for what he has stolen, and if he walks in the statutes that give life and no longer commits sin—then he will surely live. He will not die.
I vrati bezbožnik zalog, i vrati što je oteo, i stane hoditi po uredbama životnijem ne èineæi bezakonja, doista æe biti živ, neæe umrijeti.
16 None of the sins that he has committed will be called to mind for him. He has acted justly and rightly, and so, he will surely live!
Od svijeh grijeha što je zgriješio ništa mu se neæe spomenuti; èinio je sud i pravdu, doista æe živ biti.
17 But your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” but it is your ways that are not fair!
A sinovi naroda tvojega govore: nije prav put Gospodnji; a njihov put nije prav.
18 When the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, then he will die in it!
Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i uèini nepravdu, poginuæe s toga.
19 When the wicked turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and righteous, he will live because of those things!
A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i uèini sud i pravdu, on æe živ biti s toga.
20 But you people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” I will judge each of you according to his way, house of Israel!'”
A vi govorite: nije prav put Gospodnji. Sudiæu vam, dome Izrailjev, svakome po putovima njegovijem.
21 It happened in the twelfth year, on the fifth day of the tenth month of our captivity, that a fugitive came to me from Jerusalem and said, “The city has been captured!”
A dvanaeste godine robovanja našega, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana doðe k meni jedan koji uteèe iz Jerusalima, i reèe: uze se grad.
22 The hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening before the fugitive came, and my mouth was opened by the time that he came to me in the dawn. So my mouth was open; I was no longer mute!
A ruka Gospodnja doðe nada me uveèe prije nego doðe onaj što uteèe, i otvori mi usta dokle onaj doðe k meni ujutru; otvoriše mi se usta, te više ne muèah.
23 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
24 “Son of man, the ones inhabiting those ruins in the land of Israel are talking and say, 'Abraham was only one person, and he inherited the land, but we are many! The land has been given to us as a possession.'
Sine èovjeèji, koji žive u onijem pustolinama u zemlji Izrailjevoj govore i kažu: Avram bijaše jedan, i naslijedi ovu zemlju; a nas je mnogo; nama je data ova zemlja u našljedstvo.
25 Therefore say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: You eat blood, and you lift up your eyes towards your idols, then you pour out people's blood. Should you really possess the land?
Zato im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: jedete s krvlju, i oèi svoje podižete ka gadnijem bogovima svojim, i krv proljevate, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?
26 You have depended on your swords and have done disgusting things; each man defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you really possess the land?'
Opirete se na maè svoj, èinite gadove, i skvrnite svaki ženu bližnjega svojega, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?
27 You will say this to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: As I live, surely the ones in the ruins will fall by the sword, and I will give those in the fields to the living creatures as food, and those in fortresses and in caves will die of plagues.
Ovako im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, koji su u pustolinama, pašæe od maèa; i koji je u polju, zvijerima æu ga dati da ga izjedu; a koji su po gradovima i po peæinama, od pomora æe pomrijeti.
28 Then I will turn the land into a desolation and a horror, and the pride of its might will end, for the mountains of Israel will be deserted, and there will be no one to pass through them.'
Tako æu sasvijem opustiti tu zemlju, i nestaæe ponosa sile njezine, i opustjeæe gore Izrailjeve da neæe niko prolaziti.
29 So they will know that I am Yahweh, when I make the land a desolation and a waste because of all the abominations that they have done.
I oni æe poznati da sam ja Gospod kad zemlju sasvijem opustim za sve gadove njihove što èiniše.
30 So now you, son of man—your people are saying things about you beside the walls and the gates of the houses, and each says to one another—each man to his brother, 'Let us go and listen to the prophet's word that comes out from Yahweh!'
A o tebi, sine èovjeèji, sinovi naroda tvojega kazuju o tebi uza zidove i na vratima kuænijem, i govore jedan drugomu, svaki bratu svojemu, i vele: hodite i èujte kaka rijeè doðe od Gospoda.
31 So my people will come to you, as they often do, and will sit in front of you and listen to your words, but they will not obey them. Right words are in their mouths, but their hearts are going after unjust profit.
I dolaze k tebi kao kad se narod skuplja, i narod moj sjeda pred tobom, i sluša rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuje; u ustima su im ljupke a srce njihovo ide za svojim lakomstvom.
32 For you are like a lovely song to them, a beautiful sound that is well played on a stringed instrument, so they will listen to your words, but none of them will obey them.
I gle, ti si im kao ljupka pjesma, kao èovjek lijepa glasa i koji dobro svira; slušaju rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuju.
33 So when all of this happens—behold! it will happen!—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
Ali kad to doðe, a evo ide, onda æe poznati da je bio prorok meðu njima.
