Ezekiel 15

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

2 'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?

Sine èovjeèji, šta je drvo od loze vinove prema svakom drugom drvetu, ili loza vinova prema drveæu u šumi?

3 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?

Uzima li se od nje drvo da se naèini što? uzima li se od nje klin da se objesi o njemu kakav sud?

4 Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

Gle, meæe se u oganj da izgori; kad joj oba kraja sažeže oganj, i sredina joj izgori, hoæe li još biti za što?

5 Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?

Gle, dok bijaše cijela, ne mogaše se ništa od nje naèiniti, akamoli æe biti za što kad je oganj proždrije i izgorje.

6 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: kakvo je meðu drvetima šumskim drvo od vinove loze, koje dadoh ognju da ga jede, take æu uèiniti stanovnike Jerusalimske.

7 And I have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My setting My face against them.

Jer æu im nasuprot okrenuti lice svoje; kad izidu iz jednoga ognja, drugi æe ih oganj proždrijeti, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod, kad okrenem lice svoje nasuprot njima.

8 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

I obratiæu zemlju u pustinju, jer uèiniše nevjeru, govori Gospod Gospod.
