Jezekilj 18
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
2 Šta hoæete vi koji govorite prièu o zemlji Izrailjevoj govoreæi: oci jedoše kiselo grožðe, a sinovima trnu zubi?
What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
3 Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, neæete više govoriti te prièe u Izrailju.
[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Gle, sve su duše moje, kako duša oèina tako i duša sinovlja moja je, koja duša zgriješi ona æe poginuti.
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
5 Jer ako je ko pravedan i èini sud i pravdu,
But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
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,
[And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
7 I nikome ne èini nasilja, zalog dužniku svojemu vraæa, ništa ne otima, hljeb svoj daje gladnome i gologa odijeva,
And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
8 Ne daje na dobit i ne uzima pridavka, od nepravde usteže ruku svoju, i pravo sudi izmeðu jednoga èovjeka i drugoga,
He [that] hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
9 Po uredbama mojim hodi, i drži zakone moje tvoreæi istinu; taj je pravedan, doista æe živjeti, govori Gospod Gospod.
Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
10 Ako rodi sina lupeža, koji bi krv proljevao ili bi èinio tako što,
If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things],
11 A ne bi èinio svega onoga, nego bi jeo na gorama, i ženu bližnjega svojega skvrnio,
And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and 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,
Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
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.
Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; 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,
Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
15 Ne bi jeo na gorama, niti bi oèiju svojih podizao ka gadnijem bogovima doma Izrailjeva, žene bližnjega svojega ne bi skvrnio,
[That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath 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,
Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
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.
[That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that] hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity 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.
[As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not good among his people, lo, even he 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.
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, [and] hath kept all my statutes, and hath 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.
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked 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.
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 Bezakonja njegova što ih je god uèinio neæe mu se više spominjati, u pravdi svojoj koju èini živjeæe.
All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath 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?
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, 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 turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath 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 ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i èini zlo i umre zato, umrijeæe za zlo svoje koje uèini.
When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od bezbožnosti svoje koju je èinio, i èini sud i pravdu, on æe saèuvati u životu dušu svoju.
Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Jer uzevši na um vrati se od svijeh bezakonja svojih koja uèini; doista æe živjeti, i neæe poginuti.
Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath 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 saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
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.
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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 you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye 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 have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye.
