Jezekilj 15
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
2 Sine èovjeèji, šta je drvo od loze vinove prema svakom drugom drvetu, ili loza vinova prema drveæu u šumi?
“You human, the wood of a grapevine is certainly not [RHQ] more useful that the branches of the trees in a forest.
3 Uzima li se od nje drvo da se naèini što? uzima li se od nje klin da se objesi o njemu kakav sud?
No one [RHQ] ever takes a branch of a grapevine and makes anything [useful] from it. No one [RHQ] even makes pegs from them to hang things on.
4 Gle, meæe se u oganj da izgori; kad joj oba kraja sažeže oganj, i sredina joj izgori, hoæe li još biti za što?
And after a branch of a grapevine is thrown into a fire, and the fire burns both ends and chars/scorches the branch in the middle, will it then be useful for anything?
5 Gle, dok bijaše cijela, ne mogaše se ništa od nje naèiniti, akamoli æe biti za što kad je oganj proždrije i izgorje.
No; if it was not useful for anything before it was burned, it certainly cannot [made into something] useful after the fire has burned and charred it.
6 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.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: The wood of grapevines is useful only for fuel in a fire. Similarly, the people who live in [are useless].
7 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.
I will reject [IDM] them. [It will be as though] they have escaped from a fire, but there will still be a fire that will burn them up. And when I punish [EUP] them, you [people who remain alive] will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].
8 I obratiæu zemlju u pustinju, jer uèiniše nevjeru, govori Gospod Gospod.
I will cause your country to become a wasteland because your people have not been loyal [to me. That is what I], Yahweh, the Lord, say.”
