Jezekilj 17
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,
2 Sine èovjeèji, zagoneni zagonetku i kaži prièu o domu Izrailjevu,
Sonne of man, put foorth a parable and speake a prouerbe vnto the house of Israel,
3 I reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: orao velik, velikih krila, dugih pera, pun perja, šaren, doðe na Livan i uze vrh od kedra,
And say, Thus saith the Lord God, The great eagle with great wings, and long wings, and ful of fethers, which had diuers colours, came vnto Lebanon, and tooke the highest branch of the cedar,
4 Odlomi vrh od mladijeh grana njegovijeh, i odnese ga u zemlju trgovaèku, u grad trgovaèki metnu ga.
And brake off the toppe of his twigge, and caried it into the land of marchants, and set it in a citie of marchants.
5 I uze sjeme iz one zemlje, i metnu ga na njivu, odnese ga gdje ima mnogo vode, i ostavi ga dobro.
Hee tooke also of the seede of the lande, and planted it in a fruitfull ground: hee placed it by great waters, and set it as a willowe tree.
6 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.
And it budded vp, and was like a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward it, and the rootes thereof were vnder it: so it became a vine, and it brought foorth branches, and shot foorth buds.
7 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.
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers, and beholde, this vine did turne her rootes toward it, and spred foorth her branches toward it, that she might water it by the trenches of her plantation.
8 Posaðen bijaše u dobroj zemlji kod mnogo vode, da pusti grane i raða rod i bude krasna loza.
It was planted in a good soyle by great waters, that it should bring forth branches, and beare fruite, and be an excellent vine.
9 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.
Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, Shall it prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes thereof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to drie? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof.
10 Eto, posaðen je, hoæe li napredovati? i neæe li se sasvijem posušiti èim ga se dohvati ustoka? Posušiæe se u brazdi gdje je posaðen.
Beholde, it was planted: but shall it prosper? shall it not be dried vp, and wither? when the East winde shall touch it, it shall wither in the trenches, where it grewe.
11 Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
12 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.
Say now to this rebellious house, Know ye not, what these things meane? tell them, Behold, the King of Babel is come to Ierusalem, and hath taken the King thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babel,
13 I uze jednoga od carskoga sjemena, i uèini s njim vjeru, i zakle ga, i uze silne u zemlji,
And hath taken one of the Kings seede, and made a couenant with him, and hath taken an othe of him: he hath also taken the princes of the land,
14 Da bi carstvo bilo sniženo da se ne bi podiglo, nego da bi držeæi vjeru s njim stajalo.
That the kingdome might be in subiection, and not lift it selfe vp, but keepe their couenant, and stand to it.
15 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?
But he rebelled against him, and sent his ambassadours into Egypt, that they might giue him horses, and much people: shall hee prosper? shall he escape, that doeth such things? or shall he breake the couenant, and be deliuered?
16 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.
As I liue, saith the Lord God, he shall die in the middes of Babel, in the place of the King, that had made him King, whose othe he despised, and whose couenant made with him, he brake.
17 Niti æe mu Faraon s velikom vojskom i mnogim narodom pomoæi u ratu, kad iskopa opkope i pogradi kule da pogubi mnoge duše.
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mightie hoste, and great multitude of people, mainteine him in the warre, when they haue cast vp mounts, and builded ramparts to destroy many persons.
18 Jer prezre zakletvu prestupajuæi vjeru; i gle, davši ruku èini sve to; neæe uteæi.
For he hath despised the othe, and broken ye couenant (yet lo, he had giuen his hand) because he hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, obratiæu mu na glavu zakletvu svoju koju prezre i vjeru svoju koju prestupi.
Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, As I liue, I wil surely bring mine othe that he hath despised, and my couenant that he hath broken vpon his owne head.
20 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.
And I wil spread my net vpon him, and he shalbe taken in my net, and I wil bring him to Babel, and will enter into iudgement with him there for his trespas that he hath committed against me.
21 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.
And all that flee from him with all his hoste, shall fall by the sword, and they that remaine, shalbe scattered towarde all the windes: and ye shall know that I the Lord haue spoken it.
22 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.
Thus saith the Lord God, I wil also take off the top of this hie cedar, and wil set it, and cut off the top of the tender plant thereof, and I wil plant it vpon an hie mountaine and great.
23 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.
Euen in the hie mountaine of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughes and beare fruite, and be an excellent cedar, and vnder it shall remaine all birds, and euery foule shall dwell in the shadow of the branches thereof.
24 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.
And all the trees of the fielde shall knowe that I the Lord haue brought downe the hie tree, and exalted the lowe tree, that I haue dried vp the greene tree, and made the drie tree to florish: I the Lord haue spoken it, and haue done it.
