Jezekilj 18

1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Šta hoæete vi koji govorite prièu o zemlji Izrailjevoj govoreæi: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi?

Son of man, what mean you by this parable amongst the children of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten unripe grapes, and the children's teeth have been set on edge?

3 Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, neæete više govoriti te prièe u Izrailju.

[As] I live, says the Lord, surely this parable shall no more be spoken in Israel.

4 Gle, sve su duše moje, kako duša oèina tako i duša sinovlja moja je, koja duša zgriješi ona æe poginuti.

For all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

5 Jer ako je ko pravedan i èini sud i pravdu,

But the man who shall be just, who executes judgement and righteousness,

6 Na gorama ne jede i oèiju svojih ne podiže ka gadnijem bogovima doma Izrailjeva, i ne skvrni žene bližnjega svojega i ne ide k ženi odvojenoj radi neèistote,

who shall not eat upon the mountains, and shall not at all lift up his eyes to the devices of the house of Israel, and shall not defile his neighbour's wife, and shall not draw near to her that is removed,

7 I nikome ne èini nasilja, zalog dužniku svojemu vraæa, ništa ne otima, hljeb svoj daje gladnome i gologa odijeva,

and shall not oppress any man, [but] shall return the pledge of the debtor, and shall be guilty of no plunder, shall give his bread to the hungry, and clothe the naked;

8 Ne daje na dobit i ne uzima pridavka, od nepravde usteže ruku svoju, i pravo sudi izmeðu jednoga èovjeka i drugoga,

and shall not lend his money upon usury, and shall not receive usurious increase, and shall turn back his hand from injustice, shall execute righteous judgement between a man and his neighbour,

9 Po uredbama mojim hodi, i drži zakone moje tvoreæi istinu; taj je pravedan, doista æe živjeti, govori Gospod Gospod.

and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, says the Lord.

10 Ako rodi sina lupeža, koji bi krv proljevao ili bi èinio tako što,

And if he beget a mischievous son, shedding blood and committing sins,

11 A ne bi èinio svega onoga, nego bi jeo na gorama, i ženu bližnjega svojega skvrnio,

who has not walked in the way of his righteous father, but has even eaten upon the mountains, and has defiled his neighbour's wife,

12 Siromahu i ubogome nasilje èinio, otimao što, zaloga ne bi vraæao, i ka gadnijem bogovima podizao bi oèi svoje èineæi gad,

and has oppressed the poor and needy, and has committed robbery, and not restored a pledge, and has set his eyes upon idols, has wrought iniquities,

13 Davao bi na dobit, i uzimao pridavak; hoæe li taj živjeti? Neæe živjeti; uèinio je sve te gadove, doista æe poginuti, krv æe njegova na njemu biti.

has lent upon usury, and taken usurious increase; he shall by no means live: he has wrought all these iniquities; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

14 Ali gle, ako rodi sina koji bi vidio sve grijehe oca svojega što èini, i uzeo bi na um, te ne bi èinio onako,

And if he beget a son, and [the son] see all his father's sins which he has wrought, and fear, and not do according to them,

15 Ne bi jeo na gorama, niti bi oèiju svojih podizao ka gadnijem bogovima doma Izrailjeva, žene bližnjega svojega ne bi skvrnio,

and [if he] has not eaten on the mountains, and has not set his eyes on the devices of the house of Israel, and has not defiled his neighbour's wife,

16 I nikome ne bi èinio nasilja, zaloga ne bi uzimao i ne bi ništa otimao, davao bi hljeb svoj gladnome i gologa bi odijevao,

and has not oppressed a man, and has not retained the pledge, nor committed robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has clothed the naked,

17 Od siromaha bi ustezao ruku svoju, ne bi uzimao dobiti ni pridavka, zakone bi moje izvršivao i po uredbama mojim hodio; taj neæe poginuti za bezakonje oca svojega, doista æe živjeti.

and has turned back his hand from unrighteousness, has not received interest or usurious increase, has wrought righteousness, and walked in mine ordinances; he shall not die for the iniquities of his father, he shall surely live.

18 A otac njegov, što je èinio nasilje, otimao od brata svojega i èinio što nije dobro u narodu svom, gle, on æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje.

But if his father grievously afflict, or plunder, he has wrought enmity in the midst of my people, and shall die in his iniquity.

19 Ali govorite: zašto da ne nosi sin bezakonja oèina? Jer sin èini sud i pravdu, sve uredbe moje drži i izvršuje; doista æe živjeti.

But you will say, Why has not the son borne the iniquity of the father? Because the son has wrought judgement and mercy, has kept all my statues, and done them, he shall surely live.

20 Koja duša zgriješi ona æe umrijeti, sin neæe nositi bezakonja oèina niti æe otac nositi bezakonja sinovljega; na pravedniku æe biti pravda njegova, a na bezbožniku æe biti bezbožnost njegova.

But the soul that sins shall die: and the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the iniquity of the transgressor shall be upon him.

21 Ako li bi se bezbožnik obratio od svijeh grijeha svojih koje uèini, i držao bi sve uredbe moje i tvorio sud i pravdu, doista æe živjeti, neæe poginuti.

And if the transgressor turn away from all his iniquities which he has committed, and keep all my commandments, and do justice and mercy, he shall surely live, and shall by no means die.

22 Bezakonja njegova što ih je god uèinio neæe mu se više spominjati, u pravdi svojoj koju èini živjeæe.

None of his trespasses which he has committed shall be remembers: in his righteousness which he has done he shall live.

23 Eda li je meni milo da pogine bezbožnik? govori Gospod, a ne da se odvrati od putova svojih i bude živ?

Shall I at all desire death of the sinner, says the Lord, as I [desire] that he should turn from [his] evil way, and live?

24 Ali kad bi se pravednik odvratio od pravde svoje i èinio nepravdu, i radio po svijem gadovima koje èini bezbožnik, hoæe li on živjeti? pravedna djela njegova, što je god èinio, neæe se spomenuti; za bezakonje svoje koje uèini i za grijeh svoj kojim zgriješi poginuæe.

But when the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, according to all the transgressions which the transgressor has wrought, none of his righteousness which he has wrought shall be at all remembered: in his trespass wherein he has trespassed, and in his sins wherein he has sinned, in them shall he die.

25 Još govorite: nije prav put Gospodnji. Èujte, dome Izrailjev, moj li put nije prav? nijesu li vaši putovi nepravi?

Yet you have said, The way of the Lord is not straight. Hear now, all the house of Israel; will not my way be straight? Is your way straight?

26 Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i èini zlo i umre zato, umrijeæe za zlo svoje koje uèini.

When the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits a trespass, and dies in the trespass he has committed, he shall [even] die in it.

27 A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od bezbožnosti svoje koju je èinio, i èini sud i pravdu, on æe saèuvati u životu dušu svoju.

And when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and shall do judgement and justice, he has kept his soul,

28 Jer uzevši na um vrati se od svijeh bezakonja svojih koja uèini; doista æe živjeti, i neæe poginuti.

and has turned away from all his ungodliness which he has committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.

29 Ali dom Izrailjev veli: put Gospodnji nije prav. Moji li putovi nijesu pravi? dome Izrailjev, nijesu li vaši putovi nepravi?

Yet the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not right. Is not my way right, O house of Israel? is not your way wrong?

30 Zato, dome Izrailjev, sudiæu vam svakome po putovima njegovijem, govori Gospod; obratite se i proðite se svijeh grijeha svojih, i neæe vam bezakonje biti na spoticanje.

I will judge you, O house of Israel, says the Lord, each one according to his way: be converted, and turn from all your ungodliness, and it shall not become to you the punishment of iniquity.

31 Odbacite od sebe sva bezakonja koja èiniste, i naèinite sebi novo srce i nov duh; i zašto da mrete? dome Izrailjev.

Cast away from yourselves all your ungodliness wherein you have sinned against me; and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why should you die, O house of Israel?

32 Jer mi nije mila smrt onoga koji mre, govori Gospod Gospod; obratite se dakle i budite živi.

For I desire not the death of him that dies, says the Lord.
