Jezekilj 21
1 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje prema Jerusalimu, i pokaplji prema svetijem mjestima, i prorokuj protiv zemlje Izrailjeve.
“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
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.
Tell the land of Israel, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
4 Da istrijebim iz tebe pravednoga i bezbožnoga, zato æe izaæi maè moj iz korica svojih na svako tijelo od juga do sjevera.
Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh 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.
All flesh will know that I, the LORD, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will not return any more.”’
6 A ti, sine èovjeèji, uzdiši kao da su ti bedra polomljena, i gorko uzdiši pred njima.
“Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
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.
It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.’”
8 Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 Sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: reci: maè, maè je naoštren, i uglaðen je.
“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished.
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 that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree.
11 Dao ga je da se ugladi da se uzme u ruku; maè je naoštren i uglaðen, da se da u ruku ubici.
It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
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.
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
13 Kad bješe karanje, šta bi? eda li ni od pruta koji ne haje neæe biti ništa? govori Gospod Gospod.
“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
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.
“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
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.
I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
16 Stegni se, udri nadesno, nalijevo, kuda se god obrneš.
Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
17 Jer æu i ja pljeskati rukama, i namiriæu gnjev svoj. Ja Gospod rekoh.
I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
18 Još mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
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.
“Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
20 Naèini put, kojim æe doæi maè na Ravu sinova Amonovijeh, i u Judeju na tvrdi Jerusalim.
You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 Jer æe car Vavilonski stati na rasputici, gdje poèinju dva puta, te æe vraèati, gladiæe strijele, pitaæe likove, gledaæe u jetru.
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
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.
In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
23 I uèiniæe se vraèanje zaludno zakletima, a to æe napomenuti bezakonje da se uhvate.
It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
25 A ti, neèisti bezbožnièe, kneže Izrailjev, kome doðe dan kad bi na kraju bezakonje,
“‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
26 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: skini tu kapu i svrzi taj vijenac, neæe ga biti; niskoga æu uzvisiti a visokoga æu poniziti.
the Lord GOD says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high.
27 Uništiæu, uništiæu, uništiæu ga, i neæe ga biti, dokle ne doðe onaj kome pripada, i njemu æu ga dati.
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give 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,
“You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord GOD says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
29 Dokle ti viðaju taštinu, dokle ti gataju laž, da te metnu na vratove pobijenijem bezbožnicima, kojima doðe dan kad bi kraj bezakonju.
while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 Ostavi maè u korice; na mjestu gdje si se rodio, u zemlji gdje si postao, sudiæu ti;
Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
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 indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
32 Ognju æeš biti hrana, krv æe ti biti posred zemlje, neæeš se spominjati, jer ja Gospod rekoh.
You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD, have spoken it.”’”
