Jezekilj 21
1 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje prema Jerusalimu, i pokaplji prema svetijem mjestima, i prorokuj protiv zemlje Izrailjeve.
“You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
3 I reci zemlji Izrailjevoj: ovako veli Gospod: evo me na te; izvuæi æu maè svoj iz korica, i istrijebiæu iz tebe pravednoga i bezbožnoga.
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
4 Da istrijebim iz tebe pravednoga i bezbožnoga, zato æe izaæi maè moj iz korica svojih na svako tijelo od juga do sjevera.
[what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
5 I poznaæe svako tijelo da sam ja Gospod izvukao maè svoj iz korica njegovijeh, neæe se više vratiti.
Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
6 A ti, sine èovjeèji, uzdiši kao da su ti bedra polomljena, i gorko uzdiši pred njima.
Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
7 A kada ti reku: zašto uzdišeš? ti reci: za glas što ide, od kojega æe se rastopiti svako srce i klonuti sve ruke i svakoga æe duha nestati, i svaka æe koljena postati kao voda; evo, ide, i navršiæe se, govori Gospod Gospod.
And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
8 Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
9 Sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: reci: maè, maè je naoštren, i uglaðen je.
“You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
10 Naoštren je da kolje, uglaðen je da sijeva; hoæemo li se radovati kad prut sina mojega ne haje ni za kako drvo?
It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
11 Dao ga je da se ugladi da se uzme u ruku; maè je naoštren i uglaðen, da se da u ruku ubici.
A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
12 Vièi i ridaj, sine èovjeèji; jer on ide na narod moj, na sve knezove Izrailjeve; pod maè æe biti okrenuti s narodom mojim, zato udri se po bedru.
[So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
13 Kad bješe karanje, šta bi? eda li ni od pruta koji ne haje neæe biti ništa? govori Gospod Gospod.
I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
14 Ti dakle, sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i pljeskaj rukama, jer æe maè doæi i drugom i treæom, maè koji ubija, maè koji velike ubija, koji prodire u klijeti.
So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
15 Da se rastope srca i umnoži pogibao, metnuo sam na sva vrata njihova strah od maèa; jaoh! pripravljen je da sijeva, naoštren da kolje.
In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
16 Stegni se, udri nadesno, nalijevo, kuda se god obrneš.
Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
17 Jer æu i ja pljeskati rukama, i namiriæu gnjev svoj. Ja Gospod rekoh.
Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
18 Još mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
19 A ti, sine èovjeèji, naèini dva puta, kuda æe doæi maè cara Vavilonskoga; iz jedne zemlje neka izlaze oba; i izberi stranu, gdje se poèinje put gradski, izberi.
“You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
20 Naèini put, kojim æe doæi maè na Ravu sinova Amonovijeh, i u Judeju na tvrdi Jerusalim.
[If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
21 Jer æe car Vavilonski stati na rasputici, gdje poèinju dva puta, te æe vraèati, gladiæe strijele, pitaæe likove, gledaæe u jetru.
[When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
22 Nadesno æe mu vraèanje pokazati Jerusalim da namjesti ubojne sprave, da otvori usta na klanje, da podigne glas podvikujuæi, da namjesti ubojne sprave prema vratima, da naèini opkope, da pogradi kule.
With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
23 I uèiniæe se vraèanje zaludno zakletima, a to æe napomenuti bezakonje da se uhvate.
The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
24 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: što napominjete svoje bezakonje, te se otkriva nevjera vaša i grijesi se vaši vide u svijem djelima vašim, zato što doðoste na pamet, biæete pohvatani rukom.
Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
25 A ti, neèisti bezbožnièe, kneže Izrailjev, kome doðe dan kad bi na kraju bezakonje,
Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
26 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: skini tu kapu i svrzi taj vijenac, neæe ga biti; niskoga æu uzvisiti a visokoga æu poniziti.
And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
27 Uništiæu, uništiæu, uništiæu ga, i neæe ga biti, dokle ne doðe onaj kome pripada, i njemu æu ga dati.
[Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
28 A ti, sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod za sinove Amonove i za njihovu sramotu; reci dakle: maè, maè je izvuèen, uglaðen da kolje, da zatire, da sijeva,
“And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
29 Dokle ti viðaju taštinu, dokle ti gataju laž, da te metnu na vratove pobijenijem bezbožnicima, kojima doðe dan kad bi kraj bezakonju.
[Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
30 Ostavi maè u korice; na mjestu gdje si se rodio, u zemlji gdje si postao, sudiæu ti;
You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
31 I izliæu na te gnjev svoj, ognjem gnjeva svojega dunuæu na te i predaæu te u ruke žestokim ljudma, vještim u zatiranju.
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
32 Ognju æeš biti hrana, krv æe ti biti posred zemlje, neæeš se spominjati, jer ja Gospod rekoh.
You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
