< Ezekiel 17 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use a simile unto the house of Israel,
Sine èovjeèji, zagoneni zagonetku i kaži prièu o domu Izrailjevu,
3 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that hath diverse colours, Hath come in unto Lebanon, And it taketh the foliage of the cedar,
I reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: orao velik, velikih krila, dugih pera, pun perja, šaren, doðe na Livan i uze vrh od kedra,
4 The top of its tender twigs it hath cropped, And it bringeth it in to the land of Canaan. In a city of merchants it hath placed it.
Odlomi vrh od mladijeh grana njegovijeh, i odnese ga u zemlju trgovaèku, u grad trgovaèki metnu ga.
5 And it taketh of the seed of the land, And doth put it in a field of seed, To take by many waters, In a conspicuous place it hath set it.
I uze sjeme iz one zemlje, i metnu ga na njivu, odnese ga gdje ima mnogo vode, i ostavi ga dobro.
6 And it springeth up, and becometh a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becometh a vine, and maketh boughs, And sendeth forth beauteous branches.
I iznièe, i posta busat èokot, nizak, kojemu se loze pružahu k njemu a žile bijahu pod njim; posta èokot, i pusti grane i izbi odvode.
7 And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And lo, this vine hath bent its roots toward him, And its thin shoots it hath sent out toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting,
A bijaše drugi orao velik, velikih krila i pernat, i gle, taj èokot pusti k njemu žile svoje i grane svoje pruži k njemu da bi ga zaljevao iz brazda svoga sada.
8 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, To make branches, and to bear fruit, To be for an goodly vine.
Posaðen bijaše u dobroj zemlji kod mnogo vode, da pusti grane i raða rod i bude krasna loza.
9 Say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It prospereth — its roots doth he not draw out, And its fruit cut off, and it is withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withereth, And not by great strength, and by a numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.
Kaži: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: hoæe li napredovati? neæe li mu poèupati žile i rod mu oblomiti da se posuši? Sve æe mu se grane što je pustio posušiti, i bez velike sile i bez mnogoga naroda išèupaæe ga iz korijena.
10 And lo, the planted thing — doth it prosper? When come against it doth the east wind, Doth it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withereth.'
Eto, posaðen je, hoæe li napredovati? i neæe li se sasvijem posušiti èim ga se dohvati ustoka? Posušiæe se u brazdi gdje je posaðen.
11 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
12 'Say, I pray thee, to the rebellious house, Have ye not known what these [are]? Say, Lo, come hath the king of Babylon to Jerusalem, And he taketh its king, and its princes, And bringeth them to himself to Babylon.
Kaži tome domu odmetnièkom: ne znate li šta je ovo? Reci: evo, doðe car Vavilonski u Jerusalim, i uze mu cara i knezove, i odvede ih sa sobom u Vavilon.
13 And he taketh of the seed of the kingdom, And maketh with him a covenant, And bringeth him in to an oath, And the mighty of the land he hath taken,
I uze jednoga od carskoga sjemena, i uèini s njim vjeru, i zakle ga, i uze silne u zemlji,
14 That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant — that it may stand.
Da bi carstvo bilo sniženo da se ne bi podiglo, nego da bi držeæi vjeru s njim stajalo.
15 And he rebelleth against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and much people, Doth he prosper? doth he escape who is doing these things? And hath he broken covenant and escaped?
Ali se odmetnu od njega poslav poslanike svoje u Misir da mu da konja i mnogo naroda. Hoæe li biti sreæan? hoæe li uteæi ko tako èini? ko prestupa vjeru hoæe li uteæi?
16 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Doth he not — in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With him — in the midst of Babylon — die?
Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, u mjestu onoga cara koji ga je zacario, kojemu je zakletvu prezreo i kojemu je vjeru prestupio, kod njega æe u Vavilonu umrijeti.
17 And not with a great force, and with a numerous assembly, Doth Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mount, and in building a fortification, To cut off many souls.
Niti æe mu Faraon s velikom vojskom i mnogim narodom pomoæi u ratu, kad iskopa opkope i pogradi kule da pogubi mnoge duše.
18 And he despised the oath — to break covenant, And lo, he hath given his hand, And all these he hath done, he escapeth not.
Jer prezre zakletvu prestupajuæi vjeru; i gle, davši ruku èini sve to; neæe uteæi.
19 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — Mine oath that he hath despised, And My covenant that he hath broken, Have I not put it on his head?
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, obratiæu mu na glavu zakletvu svoju koju prezre i vjeru svoju koju prestupi.
20 And I have spread out for him My snare, And he hath been caught in My net, And I have brought him in to Babylon, And pleaded with him there his trespass, That he hath trespassed against Me.
Jer æu razapeti nad njim mrežu svoju i uhvatiæe se u zamku moju; i odvešæu ga u Vavilon, i ondje æu se suditi s njim za bezakonje koje mi uèini.
21 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, By sword do fall, and those remaining, To every wind they are spread out, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken.
I sva bježan njegova sa svom vojskom njegovom pašæe od maèa, a koji ostanu raspršaæe se u sve vjetrove, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod govorio.
22 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set [it], From the top of its tender shoots a tender one I crop, And I — I have planted [it] on a mountain high and lofty.
Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ali æu ja uzeti s vrha od toga visokoga kedra, i posadiæu; s vrha od mladijeh grana njegovijeh odlomiæu granèicu, i posadiæu na gori visokoj i uzdignutoj.
23 In a mountain — the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it hath borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a goodly cedar, And dwelt under it have all birds of every wing, In the shade of its thin shoots they dwell.
Na visokoj gori Izrailjevoj posadiæu je, i pustiæe grane, i rodiæe, i postaæe krasan kedar, i pod njim æe nastavati svakojake ptice, u hladu grana njegovijeh nastavaæe.
24 And known have all trees of the field That I, Jehovah, have made low the high tree, I have set on high the low tree, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, Jehovah, have spoken, and have done [it]!'
I sva æe drveta poljska poznati da ja Gospod snizih visoko drvo i uzvisih nisko drvo, posuših zeleno drvo i uèinih da ozeleni suho drvo. Ja Gospod rekoh, i uèiniæu.
