Jezekilj 20

1 A sedme godine, petoga mjeseca, dana desetoga, doðoše neki od starješina Izrailjevijeh da upitaju Gospoda, i sjedoše preda mnom.

In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and they sat down before me.

2 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

3 Sine èovjeèji, kaži starješinama Izrailjevijem i reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: doðoste li da me pitate? Tako ja živ bio, neæete me pitati, govori Gospod Gospod.

“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Have you come to inquire of Me? As surely as I live, I will not be consulted by you, declares the Lord GOD.

4 Hoæeš li da im sudiš? hoæeš li da im sudiš? sine èovjeèji. Pokaži im gadove otaca njihovijeh.

Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Confront them with the abominations of their fathers

5 I reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: kojega dana izabrah Izrailja i podigoh ruku svoju sjemenu doma Jakovljeva, i pokazah im se u zemlji Misirskoj, i podigoh im ruku svoju govoreæi: ja sam Gospod Bog vaš;

and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.’

6 Onoga dana podigoh im ruku svoju da æu ih odvesti iz zemlje Misirske u zemlju koju sam pronašao za njih, gdje teèe mlijeko i med, koja je dika svijem zemljama.

On that day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands.

7 I rekoh im: odbacite svaki gadove ispred svojih oèiju, i nemojte se skvrniti o gadne bogove Misirske, ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

And I said to them: ‘Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’

8 Ali se odvrgoše od mene, i ne htješe me poslušati, nijedan ih ne odbaci gadova ispred oèiju svojih, i gadnijeh bogova Misirskih ne ostaviše; zato rekoh da æu izliti jarost svoju na njih da izvršim gnjev svoj na njima usred zemlje Misirske.

But they rebelled against Me and refused to listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the land of Egypt.

9 Ali imena svojega radi, da se ne oskvrni pred onijem narodima meðu kojima bijahu, pred kojima im se pokazah, uèinih da ih izvedem iz zemlje Misirske.

But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

10 I izvedoh ih iz zemlje Misirske, i dovedoh ih u pustinju.

So I brought them out of the land of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.

11 I dadoh im uredbe svoje, i objavih im zakone svoje, koje ko vrši živ æe biti kroz njih.

And I gave them My statutes and made known to them My ordinances—for the man who does these things will live by them.

12 I subote svoje dadoh im da su znak izmeðu mene i njih da bi znali da sam ja Gospod koji ih posveæujem.

I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

13 Ali se odvrže od mene dom Izrailjev u pustinji; ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i zakone moje odbaciše, koje ko vrši živi kroz njih, i subote moje grdno oskvrniše; zato rekoh da æu izliti gnjev svoj na njih u pustinji da ih istrijebim.

Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.

14 Ali uèinih imena svojega radi da se ne oskvrni pred narodima pred kojima ih izvedoh.

But I acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

15 I ja im još podigoh ruku svoju u pustinji da ih neæu odvesti u zemlju koju im dadoh, gdje teèe mlijeko i med, koja je dika svijem zemljama;

Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands—

16 Jer odbaciše moje zakone i po uredbama mojim ne hodiše, i subote moje oskvrniše, jer srce njihovo iðaše za gadnijem bogovima njihovijem.

because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.

17 Ali ih požali oko moje, te ih ne istrijebih, i ne zatrh ih u pustinji.

Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.

18 Nego rekoh sinovima njihovijem u pustinji: ne idite po uredbama otaca svojih i ne držite njihovijeh zakona, i ne skvrnite se gadnijem bogovima njihovijem.

In the wilderness I said to their children: ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.

19 Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš, po mojim uredbama hodite, i moje zakone držite i izvršujte;

I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them.

20 I subote moje svetkujte da su znak izmeðu mene i vas, da znate da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš.

Keep My Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’

21 Ali se odvrgoše od mene i sinovi, ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i zakona mojih ne držaše da ih izvršuju, koje ko vrši živi kroz njih; subote moje oskvrniše; zato rekoh da æu izliti jarost svoju na njih i navršiti gnjev svoj na njima u pustinji.

But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the wilderness.

22 Ali povratih ruku svoju i uèinih imena svojega radi da se ne oskvrni pred narodima pred kojima ih izvedoh.

But I withheld My hand and acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

23 I ja im još podigoh ruku svoju u pustinji da æu ih rasijati po narodima i razasuti po zemljama.

However, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.

24 Jer zakona mojih ne izvršivaše i uredbe moje odbaciše i subote moje oskvrniše, i oèi im gledahu za gadnijem bogovima otaca njihovijeh.

For they did not practice My ordinances, but they rejected My statutes and profaned My Sabbaths, fixing their eyes on the idols of their fathers.

25 Zato im i ja dadoh uredbe ne dobre i zakone kroz koje neæe živjeti.

I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live.

26 I oskvrnih ih darovima njihovijem što propuštahu kroz oganj sve što otvori matericu, da ih potrem, da poznadu da sam ja Gospod.

And I pronounced them unclean through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn in the fire—so that I might devastate them, in order that they would know that I am the LORD.

27 Zato govori domu Izrailjevu, sine èovjeèji, i kaži im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: još me i ovijem ružiše oci vaši èineæi mi bezakonje:

Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: In this way also your fathers blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness against Me.

28 Kad ih odvedoh u zemlju, za koju podigoh ruku svoju da æu im je dati, gdje god vidješe visok hum i drvo granato, ondje prinosiše svoje žrtve i stavljaše svoje dare, kojima dražahu, i metaše mirise svoje ugodne, i ondje ljevaše naljeve svoje.

When I brought them into the land that I swore to give them and they saw any high hill or leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, presented offerings that provoked Me, sent up their fragrant incense, and poured out their drink offerings.

29 I rekoh im: šta je visina, na koju idete? I opet se zove visina do danas.

So I asked them: ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ (And to this day it is called Bamah.)

30 Zato reci domu Izrailjevu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: ne skvrnite li se na putu otaca svojih? i za gadovima njihovijem ne kurvate li se?

Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: Will you defile yourselves the way your fathers did, prostituting yourselves with their abominations?

31 I prinoseæi dare svoje, provodeæi sinove svoje kroz oganj ne skvrnite li se o sve gadne bogove svoje do danas, i mene li æete pitati, dome Izrailjev? Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neæete me pitati.

When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your sons in the fire, you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. So should I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be consulted by you!

32 A šta mislite, neæe biti nikako, što govorite: biæemo kao narodi, kao plemena po zemljama, služeæi drvetu i kamenu.

When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never come to pass.

33 Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom i izlivenijem gnjevom carovaæu nad vama.

As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.

34 I izvešæu vas iz naroda, i sabraæu vas iz zemalja po kojima ste rasijani, rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom i izlivenijem gnjevom.

With a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered.

35 I odvešæu vas u pustinju tijeh naroda, i ondje æu se suditi s vama licem k licu.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, where I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

36 Kako sam se sudio s ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje Misirske, tako æu se suditi s vama, govori Gospod Gospod.

Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord GOD.

37 I propustiæu vas ispod štapa i dovesti vas u sveze zavjetne.

I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

38 I odluèiæu izmeðu vas odmetnike i koji odustaju mene; izvešæu ih iz zemlje gdje su došljaci, ali neæe uæi u zemlju Izrailjevu, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod.

And I will purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land in which they dwell, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

39 Vi dakle, dome Izrailjev, ovako veli Gospod Gospod: idite, služite svaki gadnijem bogovima svojim i unapredak, kad neæete da me slušate; ali imena mojega svetoga ne skvrnite više darovima svojim i gadnijem bogovima svojim.

And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and idols.

40 Jer na mojoj gori svetoj, na visokoj gori Izrailjevoj, govori Gospod Gospod, ondje æe mi služiti sav dom Izrailjev, koliko ih god bude u zemlji, ondje æe mi biti mili i ondje æu iskati prinose vaše i prvine od darova vaših sa svijem svetijem stvarima vašim.

For on My holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your offerings and choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.

41 Mili æete mi biti s ugodnijem mirisom, kad vas izvedem iz naroda i saberem vas iz zemalja u koje ste rasijani; i biæu posveæen u vama pred narodima.

When I bring you from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing aroma. And I will show My holiness through you in the sight of the nations.

42 I poznaæete da sam ja Gospod kad vas dovedem u zemlju Izrailjevu, u zemlju za koju podigoh ruku svoju da æu je dati ocima vašim.

Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give your fathers.

43 I ondje æete se opomenuti putova svojih i svijeh djela svojih, kojima se oskvrniste, i sami æete sebi biti mrski za sva zla svoja koja èiniste.

There you will remember your ways and all the deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves for all the evils you have done.

44 I poznaæete da sam ja Gospod kad vam uèinim radi imena svojega; ne po vašim zlijem putovima niti po opakim djelima vašim, dome Izrailjev, govori Gospod Gospod.

Then you will know, O house of Israel, that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for the sake of My name and not according to your wicked ways and corrupt acts, declares the Lord GOD.”

45 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

46 Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje na jug i pokaplji prema jugu, i prorokuj na šumu u južnom polju.

“Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against it, and prophesy against the forest of the Negev.

47 I reci šumi južnoj: èuj rijeè Gospodnju, ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo ja æu raspaliti u tebi oganj koji æe proždrijeti u tebi svako drvo zeleno i svako drvo suho; plamen razgorjeli neæe se ugasiti, i izgorjeæe od njega sve od juga do sjevera.

Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.

48 I svako æe tijelo vidjeti da sam ja zapalio; neæe se ugasiti.

Then all people will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it will not be quenched.”

49 A ja rekoh: jaoh Gospode Gospode, oni govore za me: ne govori li taj same prièe?

Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Is he not just telling parables?’”
