Jezekilj 16
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Sine èovjeèji, pokaži Jerusalimu gadove njegove,
“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
3 I reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod Jerusalimu: postanjem i rodom ti si iz zemlje Hananske; otac ti bješe Amorejac a mati Hetejka.
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
4 A o roðenju tvom, kad si se rodila, nije ti pupak odrezan i nijesi okupana vodom da bi bila èista, niti si solju natrvena ni pelenama povita.
[It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
5 Oko te ne požali da ti uèini što od toga i da ti se smiluje; nego ti bi baèena u polje, jer bijaše mrska duša tvoja onoga dana kad si se rodila.
No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
6 I iduæi mimo tebe i vidjevši te gdje se valjaš u svojoj krvi, rekoh ti: da si živa u svojoj krvi! i opet ti rekoh: da si živa u svojoj krvi!
Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
7 I uèinih da rasteš na tisuæe kao trava u polju; i ti naraste i posta velika i doðe do najveæe ljepote; dojke ti napupiše, i dlake te probiše; ali ti bijaše gola naga.
[It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
8 I iduæi mimo tebe pogledah te, i gle, godine ti bijahu godine za ljubljenje; i raširih skut svoj na te, i pokrih golotinju tvoju, i zakleh ti se i uèinih vjeru s tobom, govori Gospod Gospod, i ti posta moja.
When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
9 I okupah te vodom, i sprah s tebe krv tvoju, i pomazah te uljem.
[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
10 I obukoh ti vezenu haljinu, i obuh ti crevlje od jazavca, i opasah te tankim platnom i zastrijeh te svilom.
[It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
11 I nakitih te nakitom, i metnuh ti narukvice na ruke i grivnu oko vrata.
[It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
12 I grivnu oko èela metnuh ti, i oboce u uši, slavan vijenac na glavu.
I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
13 I ti bijaše okiæena zlatom i srebrom, i odijelo ti bijaše od tankoga platna i od svile i vezeno, jeðaše bijelo brašno i med i ulje, i bijaše vrlo lijepa, i prispje do carstva.
So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
14 I razide se glas o tebi po narodima radi ljepote tvoje, jer bješe savršena krasotom mojom, koju metnuh na te, govori Gospod Gospod.
You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
15 Ali se ti osloni na ljepotu svoju, i prokurva se s glasa svojega, te si prosipala kurvarstvo svoje svakome koji prolažaše, i bivala si njegova.
But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
16 I uzevši od haljina svojih naèinila si šarene visine, i kurvala si se na njima, kako nigda nije bilo niti æe biti.
[It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
17 I uzevši krasni nakit svoj od moga zlata i od moga srebra što ti dadoh, naèinila si sebi muške likove, i kurvala si se s njima.
You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
18 I uzevši vezene haljine svoje zaodjela si ih, i ulje moje i kad moj stavila si pred njih.
You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
19 I hljeb moj, koji ti dadoh, bijelo brašno i ulje i med, èim te hranjah, postavila si pred njih za miris ugodni. Tako je bilo, govori Gospod Gospod.
And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
20 I uzimala si sinove svoje i kæeri svoje koje si rodila, i njih si im prinosila da se spale. Malo li bješe kurvarstva tvojega,
And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
21 Te si i sinove moje klala i davala si ih da im se provedu kroz oganj?
You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
22 I uza sve gadove svoje i kurvarstva svoja nijesi se opominjala dana mladosti svoje kad si bila gola i naga i valjala se u krvi svojoj.
All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
23 I poslije sve zloæe svoje, teško, teško tebi! govori Gospod Gospod, )
So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
24 Sagradila si sebi kuæu kurvarsku, i naèinila si sebi visine na svakoj ulici,
you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
25 Na svakoj rasputici naèinila si sebi visinu, i nagrdila si svoju ljepotu, i razmetala si noge svoje svakome koji prolažaše, i umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje.
At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
26 Kurvala si se sa sinovima Misirskim, susjedima svojim velika tijela, i umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje da bi me razgnjevila.
[It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
27 Zato, gle, digoh ruku svoju na te i umalih obrok tvoj, i dadoh te na volju nenavidnicima tvojima, kæerima Filistejskim, koje bješe stid od sramotnoga puta tvojega.
So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
28 Kurvala si se sa sinovima Asirskim, jer se ne mogaše nasititi; kurvala si se s njima, i opet se nijesi nasitila.
[It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
29 I umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje u zemlji Hananskoj dori do Haldejske, i ni tako se nijesi nasitila.
So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
30 Kako je iznemoglo srce tvoje, govori Gospod Gospod, kad èiniš sve što èini najgora kurva,
I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
31 Kad si gradila kurvarsku kuæu na svakoj rasputici i èinila visinu na svakoj ulici! A ni kao kurva nijesi, jer nijesi marila za platu;
When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
32 Nego kao žena preljuboèinica, koja mjesto muža svoga prima druge.
You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
33 Svijem kurvama daje se plata, a ti si davala platu svijem milosnicima svojim i darivala si ih da dolaze k tebi sa svijeh strana da se kurvaju s tobom.
Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
34 I tako je u tebe naopako prema ženama u tvom kurvarstvu: jer niko ne ide za tobom da se kurva, i ti daješ platu, a ne daje se tebi plata; to je naopako.
So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
35 Zato, kurvo, èuj rijeè Gospodnju.
Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
36 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: što se otrov tvoj prosu, i što se u kurvanju tvom otkrivala golotinja tvoja tvojim milosnicima i svijem gadnijem idolima tvojim, i za krv sinova tvojih, koje si im dala,
I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
37 Zato, evo, ja æu skupiti sve milosnike tvoje, s kojima si se milovala, i sve koje si ljubila, i sve na koje si mrzila, skupiæu ih sve oko tebe, i otkriæu im golotinju tvoju da vide svu golotinju tvoju.
So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
38 I sudiæu ti kako se sudi onima koje èine preljubu i onima koje krv proljevaju, i daæu te na smrt gnjevu i revnosti.
I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
39 I predaæu te u njihove ruke, te æe razoriti tvoju kuæu kurvarsku i raskopati visine tvoje, i svuæi æe haljine s tebe, i uzeæe ti krasni nakit i ostaviæe te golu nagu.
I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
40 I dovešæe na te ljudstvo, te æe te zasuti kamenjem, i izbošæe te maèevima svojim.
They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 I popaliæe kuæe tvoje ognjem, i izvršiæe na tebi sud pred mnogim ženama, i uèiniæu te æeš se okaniti kurvanja i neæeš više davati plate.
They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
42 I namiriæu gnjev svoj nad tobom, i revnost æe se moja ukloniti od tebe, i umiriæu se, i neæu se više gnjeviti.
Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
43 Zato što se nijesi opominjala dana mladosti svoje, nego si me dražila svijem tijem, zato, evo, i ja æu obratiti put tvoj na tvoju glavu, govori Gospod Gospod, te neæeš èiniti grdila niti kakvih gadova svojih.
You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
44 Gle, ko god govori prièe, govoriæe o tebi prièu, i reæi æe: kaka mati, taka joj kæi.
People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
45 Ti si kæi matere svoje, koja se odmetnula muža svojega i djece svoje, i sestra si sestara svojih, koje se odmetnuše muževa svojih i djece svoje, mati vam je Hetejka a otac Amorejac.
You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
46 A starija ti je sestra Samarija s kæerima svojim, koja ti sjedi s lijeve strane, a mlaða ti je sestra koja ti sjedi s desne strane Sodom sa kæerima svojim.
And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
47 A ti ni njihovijem putem nijesi hodila, niti si èinila po njihovijem gadovima, kao da ti to bješe malo, nego si bila gora od njih na svijem putovima svojim.
You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
48 Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, sestra tvoja Sodom i kæeri njezine nijesu èinile kako si èinila ti i tvoje kæeri.
I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
49 Evo, ovo bješe bezakonje sestre tvoje Sodoma: u ponosu, u izobilju hljeba i bezbrižnom miru bješe ona i kæeri njezine, a ne pomagahu siromahu i ubogome;
These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
50 Nego se ponašahu i èinjahu gadove preda mnom, zato ih zatrh kad vidjeh.
The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
51 Samarija nije zgriješila ni pola koliko ti, jer si poèinila gadova svojih više nego one, te si opravdala sestre svoje svijem gadovima svojim koje si uèinila.
Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
52 I ti dakle, koja si sudila sestrama svojim, nosi sramotu svoju za grijehe svoje, kojima si postala grða od njih; one su pravednije od tebe; i ti se dakle stidi i nosi sramotu, kad si opravdala sestre svoje.
Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
53 Ako dovedeš natrag njihovo roblje, roblje Sodomsko i kæeri njezinijeh, i roblje Samarijsko i kæeri njezinijeh, dovešæu i tvoje roblje iz ropstva meðu njima,
However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
54 Da nosiš sramotu svoju i da se stidiš za sve što si èinila, i da im budeš utjeha.
You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
55 Ako se sestre tvoje, Sodom i kæeri njezine povrate kao što su bile, i ako se Samarija i kæeri njezine povrate kao što su bile, povratiæeš se i ti i kæeri tvoje kao što ste bile.
[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
56 Jer usta tvoja ne pominjaše Sodoma sestre tvoje u vrijeme oholosti tvoje,
You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
57 Prije nego se otkri zloæa tvoja kao u vrijeme sramote od kæeri Sirskih i od svijeh što su oko njih, kæeri Filistejskih, koje te sramoæahu sa svijeh strana.
before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
58 Nosi nevaljalstvo svoje i gadove svoje, govori Gospod.
And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
59 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: uèiniæu ti kako si ti uèinila prezrevši zakletvu i prestupivši zavjet.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
60 Ali æu se ja opomenuti zavjeta svojega koji sam uèinio s tobom u vrijeme mladosti tvoje, i utvrdiæu ti vjeèan zavjet.
But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
61 Tada æeš se opomenuti putova svojih i postidjeæeš se kad primiš sestre svoje starije od sebe i mlaðe, koje æu ti dati za kæeri, ali ne po tvom zavjetu.
Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
62 I ja æu utvrditi svoj zavjet s tobom, i poznaæeš da sam ja Gospod.
I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
63 Da se opomeneš i postidiš i da ne otvoriš više usta od sramote, kad ti oprostim sve što si uèinila, govori Gospod Gospod.
Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
