Jezekilj 14

1 Potom doðoše k meni neki od starješina Izrailjevijeh i sjedoše preda me.

Then came there unto me men, of the elders of Israel, —and sat before me—

2 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

3 Sine èovjeèji, ovi su ljudi stavili u srca svoja gadne bogove svoje, i metnuli su preda se o što se spotièu na bezakonje svoje; traže li me doista?

Son of man These men have brought up their manufactured gods upon their hear, And their stumbling-block of iniquity, have they set straight before their face, —Shall I be at all enquired of by them?

4 Zato govori im i reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ko je god od doma Izrailjeva stavio u srce svoje gadne bogove svoje i metnuo preda se o što se spotièe na bezakonje svoje, pa doðe k proroku, ja Gospod odgovoriæu mu kad doðe za mnoštvo gadnijeh bogova njegovijeh,

Therefore speak unto them and say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel Who shall bring up his manufactured gods upon his heart, And set, his stumbling-block of iniquity, straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, I Yahweh, have myself answered him thereby. By the multitude of his manufactured gods:

5 Da uhvatim dom Izrailjev za srce njihovo što su se odvratili od mene svi za gadnijem bogovima svojim.

To the end the house of Israel may be taken by their own hearts, —in that they have estranged themselves from me, through their manufactured gods—all of them!

6 Zato reci domu Izrailjevu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: obratite se i otstupite od gadnijeh bogova svojih, odvratite lice svoje od svijeh gadova svojih.

Therefore, say thou unto the house of Israel, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Turn ye—and make good your return—from your manufactured gods; And, from all your abominations, make good the turning away of your faces.

7 Jer ko bi god od doma Izrailjeva ili od inostranaca koji žive u Izrailju otstupio od mene, i stavio u srce svoje gadne bogove svoje, i metnuo preda se o što æe se spoticati na bezakonje svoje, pa bi došao k proroku da me upita preko njega, njemu æu odgovoriti ja sam Gospod sobom.

For what man soever of the house of Israel Or of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, Who shall estrange himself from following me And who shall bring up his manufactured gods, on his heart, And whose stumbling-block of iniquity, he shall set straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, to enquire by him of me, I Yahweh, will myself answer him, on my own account;

8 I okrenuæu lice svoje prema tom èovjeku, i uèiniæu od njega znak i prièu, i istrijebiæu ga iz naroda svojega, te æete poznati da sam ja Gospod.

And will set my face against that man And will make of him a sign and a proverb, And will cut him off out of the midst of my people: So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

9 I ako bi se prorok prevario, te rekao što, ja Gospod prevarih onoga proroka, i dignuæu ruku svoju na nj, i istrijebiæu ga iz naroda svojega Izrailja.

Yea the prophet himself when he suffereth himself to be deceived, and speaketh a word, I Yahweh, have suffered that prophet to be deceived, Then will I stretch forth my hand against him, and destroy him out of the midst of my people. Israel:

10 I ponijeæe obojica svoje bezakonje: kako je bezakonje onoga koji pita tako æe biti i prorokovo bezakonje,

So shall they bear their punishment, As the punishment of him that enquireth, So shall the punishment of the prophet be:

11 Da više dom Izrailjev ne otstupa od mene i da se više ne skvrne svakojakim prijestupima svojim, nego da mi budu narod, i ja da im budem Bog, govori Gospod Gospod.

That the house of Israel may no more go astray from following me, And no more defile themselves by any of their transgressions, — But may become my people, and I, may become their God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

12 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

13 Sine èovjeèji, ako mi koja zemlja zgriješi uèinivši nevjeru, i ja dignem ruku svoju na nju i slomim joj potporu u hljebu, i pustim na nju glad i istrijebim u njoj ljude i stoku,

Son of man, When a land, shall sin against me by committing treachery, and I shall stretch out my hand against it, And break for it the staff of bread, And send thereon famine, And cut off therefrom man and beast,

14 Ako bi u njoj bila ova tri èovjeka: Noje, Danilo i Jov, oni æe pravdom svojom izbaviti duše svoje, govori Gospod Gospod.

Then should these three men be in the midst thereof, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they by their righteousness should deliver their own lives— Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

15 Ako pustim ljute zvijeri u zemlju, te pomore ljude, i ona opusti da niko ne može prolaziti od zvijerja;

If a mischievous wild beast, I suffer to pass through the land, and that beast bereave it, so that it become too desolate for any man to pass through, by reason of the wild beast,

16 Ako bi u njoj bila ta tri èovjeka, tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neæe izbaviti sinova ni kæeri, nego æe se sami izbaviti, a zemlja æe opustjeti.

[Were] these three men in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither sons nor daughters, should they deliver, They alone should be delivered, But the land, should become a desolation.

17 Ili ako maè pustim na tu zemlju, i reèem: maèu, proði tu zemlju, da istrijebim u njoj ljude i stoku;

Or, a sword, I should bring upon that land, and should say. O sword! thou shalt go through the land, and so I should cut off therefrom, man and beast,

18 Ako bi ta tri èovjeka bila u njoj, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, neæe izbaviti sinova ni kæeri, nego æe se sami izbaviti.

Were these three men in the midst thereof, As I live! Saith My Lord Yahweh, They should deliver neither sons nor daughters, — For they alone, should be delivered.

19 Ili ako pustim pomor na zemlju i izlijem gnjev svoj na nju da bi krv tekla da istrijebim u njoj ljude i stoku;

Or pestilence, I, should send into that land, —and should pour out mine indignation thereon in blood, to cut off therefrom man and beast

20 Ako bi Noje, Danilo i Jov bili u njoj, tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neæe izbaviti sina ni kæeri, nego æe svoje duše izbaviti pravdom svojom.

Were Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness should deliver only their own lives.

21 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: akamoli kad pustim èetiri ljuta zla svoja, maè i glad i zle zvijeri i pomor na Jerusalim, da istrijebim u njemu ljude i stoku.

For thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, How much less [should they avail] when my four calamitous judgments, sword and famine and mischievous wild beast and pestilence I have sent against Jerusalem, —to cut off therefrom man and beast?

22 I opet, gle, nekoliko æe ih ostati u njemu koji æe se izbaviti, sinovi ili kæeri, oni æe izaæi k vama, i vidjeæete put njihov i djela njihova, i utješiæete se za zlo koje æu pustiti na Jerusalim, za sve što æu pustiti na nj.

Yet lo! there hath been left therein a remnant of fugitives to be brought forth —sons and daughters— There they are! coming forth unto you, And so ye shall see their way, and their doings, and be consoled over the calamity which I have brought in upon Jerusalem even all that I have brought in upon her.

23 I oni æe vas utješiti kad vidite put njihov i djela njihova; i poznaæete da nijesam bez uzroka uèinio što sam god uèinio u njemu, govori Gospod Gospod.

Yea they shall console you, when ye see their way and their doings, — So shall ye know that not without cause, have I done, anything that I have done with her, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
