Ezekiel 20

1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

Godine sedme, petoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođoše k meni neke od starješina izraelskih da se s Jahvom svjetuju. Posjedaše preda me.

2 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord God; Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.

“Sine čovječji! Govori starješinama Izraelovim! Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Došli ste me pitati za savjet? Života mi moga, nećete me pitati!' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge [them]? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

Hoćeš li im suditi, hoćeš li suditi, sine čovječji? Pokaži im gadosti otaca njihovih.

5 And say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to them, saying, I [am] the LORD your God;

Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Onoga dana kad izabrah Izraela i ruku stavih na potomstvo doma Jakovljeva te im se objavih u zemlji egipatskoj, zakleh im se: Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!

6 In the day [that] I lifted up my hand to them, to bring them forth from the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands:

Toga im se dana rukom podignutom zakleh da ću ih izvesti iz zemlje egipatske u zemlju koju za njih izabrah, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu.

7 Then said I to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

I rekoh im: Odbacite od sebe sve gadosti što vam oči privlače i ne kaljajte se kumirima egipatskim jer - ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!'

8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

Ali se oni odvrgoše od mene i ne htjedoše me poslušati: nijedan ne odbaci gadosti koje mu oči zaniješe i ne okani se kumira egipatskih. Tad odlučih izliti gnjev svoj na njih i iskaliti srdžbu na njima u zemlji egipatskoj.

9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned before the heathen, among whom they [were], in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth from the land of Egypt.

Ali radi imena svojega - da se ne kalja na oči naroda među kojima obitavahu i pred kojima im bijah objavio da ću ih izvesti -

10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

izvedoh ih iz zemlje egipatske i odvedoh ih u pustinju;

11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which [if] a man doeth, he shall even live in them.

i dadoh im svoje uredbe i objavih svoje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio;

12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.

dadoh im i svoje subote, kao znak između sebe i njih, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve koji ih posvećujem.

13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which [if] a man doeth, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Ali se i u pustinji dom Izraelov odmetnu od mene: nisu hodili po mojim uredbama; odbaciše moje zakone, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio; subote moje oskvrnjivahu. I zato odlučih u pustinji gnjev svoj na njih izliti da ih zatrem.

14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

Ali ni toga ne učinih radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.

15 Yet also I lifted up my hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands;

Ali im se zakleh u pustinji da ih neću uvesti u zemlju koju sam im bio dao, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko, od svih zemalja najljepšu,

16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

jer odbaciše moje zakone, i ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i subote moje oskvrnjivahu, a srce im iđaše za njihovim kumirima.

17 Nevertheless my eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

Oči se moje ipak sažališe da ih ne zatrem. I tako ih u pustinji ne uništih,

18 But I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:

nego rekoh sinovima njihovim u pustinji: 'Ne hodite po uredbama svojih otaca, ne čuvajte zakona njihovih i ne kaljajte se kumirima njihovim!

19 I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;

Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš! Po uredbama mojim hodite, čuvajte i vršite moje zakone

20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.

i svetkujte moje subote, neka one budu znak između mene i vas, kako bi se znalo da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš!'

21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which [if] a man doeth, he shall even live in them: they profaned my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

Ali se i sinovi odmetnuše od mene: po mojim uredbama nisu hodili i nisu čuvali ni vršili mojih zakona, koje svatko mora vršiti da bi živio, a subote su moje oskvrnjivali. I zato odlučih gnjev svoj izliti i iskaliti srdžbu svoju na njima u pustinji.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.

Ali opet ruku svoju sustegoh radi svojeg imena, da se ono ne kalja pred narodima kojima ih naočigled izvedoh.

23 I lifted up my hand to them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

No zakleh se u pustinji da ću ih raspršiti među narode i rasijati po zemljama,

24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

jer nisu vršili mojih zakona i jer prezreše moje uredbe i jer subote moje oskvrnjivahu i oči upirahu u kumire svojih otaca.

25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not good, and judgments by which they should not live;

I zato im dadoh uredbe koje ne bijahu dobre, zakone koji usmrćuju:

26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all the first-born, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] the LORD.

da se oskvrnjuju svojim prinosima, provodeći kroz oganj svoju prvorođenčad. Htjedoh tako da ih zastrašim, neka znaju da sam ja Jahve.

27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

Sine čovječji, reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! I ovim me oci vaši još uvrijediše: nevjerom mi se iznevjeriše!

28 [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for] which I lifted up my hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savor, and poured out there their drink-offerings.

Kad ih uvedoh u zemlju koju im se zakleh dati, gdje god bi ugledali povišen brežuljak ili stablo krošnjato, prinosili bi žrtve, donosili izazovne prinose, metali mirise ugodne, nalijevali ljevanice.

29 Then I said to them, What [is] the high place to which ye go? and its name is called Bamah to this day.

Upitah ih: što li znači ta uzvišica na koju se penjete?' I tako osta ime 'bama', uzvišica, do dana današnjega.

30 Wherefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye lewd deeds after their abominations?

Zato reci domu Izraelovu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ne kaljate li se i vi kao oci vaši, ne provodite li i vi blud s gadostima njihovim?

31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.

Kaljate se prinoseći im darove, provodeći kroz oganj svoje sinove u čast svim kumirima svojim sve do dana današnjega. I da me onda za savjet pitaš, dome Izraelov! Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - nećete me za savjet pitati!

32 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

I neće se zbiti o čemu sanjate kad govorite: 'Bit ćemo kao drugi narodi, kao narodi ostalih zemalja što služe drveću i kamenju.'

33 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

Života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - vladat ću vama rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svoj žestini svoje jarosti.

34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries in which ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with fury poured out.

Izvest ću vas iz naroda, skupiti vas iz svih zemalja u koje bijaste raspršeni rukom krepkom i mišicom uzdignutom, u svem plamu jarosti moje!

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

Odvest ću vas u pustinju naroda i ondje vam licem u lice suditi!

36 As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

Kao što sudih ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje egipatske, i vama ću suditi - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

Provest ću vas ispod štapa svojega, podvrći vas brojenju:

38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

razlučit ću između vas sve koji se pobuniše i odvrgoše od mene: izvest ću ih iz zemlje u kojoj kao došljaci borave, ali - u zemlju Izraelovu nikad ući neće! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'

39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken to me: but profane ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

'A vi, dome Izraelov' - ovako govori Jahve Gospod - 'samo idite i dalje služite svaki svom kumiru! Jednom ćete, kunem vas se, poslušati i nećete više kaljati moje sveto ime svojim prinosima i kumirima:

40 For on my holy mountain, on the mountain of the hight of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

na Svetoj gori mojoj, na visokoj gori Izraelovoj - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - služit će mi sav dom Izraelov, u svojoj zemlji. Ondje će mi oni omiljeti i ondje ću iskati vaše podizanice i prinose vaših prvina sa svim svetinjama.

41 I will accept you with your sweet savor, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

Omiljet ćete mi kao miris ugodan kad vas izvedem iz narodÄa i skupim iz zemalja u kojima bjeste rasijani. I na vama ću očitovati svetost svoju naočigled svih naroda.

42 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country [for] which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.

Tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve, kada vas dovedem u zemlju Izraelovu, u zemlju koju se zakleh dati očevima vašim.

43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings in which ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

Ondje ćete se spomenuti svih svojih putova i nedjela kojima se okaljaste: sami ćete sebi omrznuti zbog nedjela što ih počiniste.

44 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

I tada ćete spoznati da sam ja Jahve kad, radi imena svojega, ne postupim s vama po zloći vaših putova ni po vašim pokvarenim djelima, dome Izraelov! Tako govori Jahve Gospod!'”

45 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

46 Son of man, set thy face towards the south, and drop [thy word] towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

“Sine čovječji, okreni lice k jugu i prospi besjedu prema jugu te prorokuj protiv šume u kraju negepskom.

47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

Reci šumi negepskoj: 'Poslušaj riječ Jahvinu! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, zapalit ću usred tebe oganj i on će proždrijeti u tebi svako drvo, zeleno i suho! Razgorjeli se oganj neće utrnuti dok sve ne izgori od sjevera do juga.

48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

I svi će vidjeti da sam ja, Jahve, zapalio taj oganj i neće se ugasiti.'”

49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

Rekoh na to: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, tÓa oni će za mene reći: 'Evo opet pričalice s pričama!'”
