Jezekilj 33
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 Sine èovjeèji, govori sinovima naroda svojega, i kaži im: kad pustim na koju zemlju maè, ako narod one zemlje uzme koga izmeðu sebe, i postave ga sebi za stražara,
“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 I on vidjevši maè gdje ide na zemlju zatrubi u trubu, i opomene narod,
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the shofar and warns the people,
4 Ako se ko èuvši trubu ne uzme na um, i maè došavši pogubi ga, krv æe njegova biti na njegovoj glavi.
then whoever hears the sound of the shofar and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
5 Jer èu glas trubni, i ne uze se na um, krv æe njegova biti na njemu; da se uze na um, saèuvao bi dušu svoju.
He heard the sound of the shofar and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 Ako li stražar vidjevši maè gdje ide ne zatrubi u trubu i narod ne bude opomenut, a maè došav pogubi koga izmeðu njih, taj æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz ruke stražareve.
But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the shofar, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 I tebe, sine èovjeèji, tebe postavih stražarem domu Izrailjevu; slušaj dakle rijeè iz mojih usta i opominji ih od mene.
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
8 Kad reèem bezbožniku: bezbožnièe, poginuæeš; a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se proðe puta svojega; taj æe bezbožnik poginuti za svoje bezakonje; ali æu krv njegovu iskati iz tvoje ruke.
When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
9 Ako li ti opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati sa svoga puta, a on se ne vrati sa svoga puta, on æe poginuti za svoje bezakonje, a ti æeš saèuvati dušu svoju.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
10 Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci domu Izrailjevu: vi govorite ovako i kažete: prijestupi naši i grijesi naši na nama su, i s njih propadamo; kako bismo živjeli?
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
11 Reci im: tako bio ja živ, govori Gospod Gospod, nije mi milo da umre bezbožnik, nego da se vrati bezbožnik sa svoga puta i bude živ; vratite se, vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih, jer zašto da mrete, dome Izrailjev?
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
12 Zato ti, sine èovjeèji, reci sinovima naroda svojega: pravednoga neæe izbaviti pravda njegova kad zgriješi, i bezbožnik neæe propasti sa bezbožnosti svoje kad se vrati od bezbožnosti svoje, kao što pravednik ne može s nje živjeti kad zgriješi.
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
13 Kad reèem pravedniku da æe doista živjeti, a on se pouzda u pravdu svoju pa uèini nepravdu, od sve pravde njegove ništa se neæe spomenuti, nego æe poginuti s nepravde svoje koju uèini.
When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
14 A kad reèem bezbožniku: doista æeš poginuti, a on se obrati od grijeha svojega i stane èiniti sud i pravdu,
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
15 I vrati bezbožnik zalog, i vrati što je oteo, i stane hoditi po uredbama životnijem ne èineæi bezakonja, doista æe biti živ, neæe umrijeti.
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
16 Od svijeh grijeha što je zgriješio ništa mu se neæe spomenuti; èinio je sud i pravdu, doista æe živ biti.
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
17 A sinovi naroda tvojega govore: nije prav put Gospodnji; a njihov put nije prav.
“‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i uèini nepravdu, poginuæe s toga.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i uèini sud i pravdu, on æe živ biti s toga.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
20 A vi govorite: nije prav put Gospodnji. Sudiæu vam, dome Izrailjev, svakome po putovima njegovijem.
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
21 A dvanaeste godine robovanja našega, desetoga mjeseca, petoga dana doðe k meni jedan koji uteèe iz Jerusalima, i reèe: uze se grad.
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
22 A ruka Gospodnja doðe nada me uveèe prije nego doðe onaj što uteèe, i otvori mi usta dokle onaj doðe k meni ujutru; otvoriše mi se usta, te više ne muèah.
Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 Sine èovjeèji, koji žive u onijem pustolinama u zemlji Izrailjevoj govore i kažu: Avram bijaše jedan, i naslijedi ovu zemlju; a nas je mnogo; nama je data ova zemlja u našljedstvo.
“Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in Eretz-Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
25 Zato im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: jedete s krvlju, i oèi svoje podižete ka gadnijem bogovima svojim, i krv proljevate, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?
Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
26 Opirete se na maè svoj, èinite gadove, i skvrnite svaki ženu bližnjega svojega, i hoæete da naslijedite zemlju?
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
27 Ovako im reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: tako ja živ bio, koji su u pustolinama, pašæe od maèa; i koji je u polju, zvijerima æu ga dati da ga izjedu; a koji su po gradovima i po peæinama, od pomora æe pomrijeti.
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
28 Tako æu sasvijem opustiti tu zemlju, i nestaæe ponosa sile njezine, i opustjeæe gore Izrailjeve da neæe niko prolaziti.
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
29 I oni æe poznati da sam ja Gospod kad zemlju sasvijem opustim za sve gadove njihove što èiniše.
Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
30 A o tebi, sine èovjeèji, sinovi naroda tvojega kazuju o tebi uza zidove i na vratima kuænijem, i govore jedan drugomu, svaki bratu svojemu, i vele: hodite i èujte kaka rijeè doðe od Gospoda.
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
31 I dolaze k tebi kao kad se narod skuplja, i narod moj sjeda pred tobom, i sluša rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuje; u ustima su im ljupke a srce njihovo ide za svojim lakomstvom.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 I gle, ti si im kao ljupka pjesma, kao èovjek lijepa glasa i koji dobro svira; slušaju rijeèi tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuju.
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
33 Ali kad to doðe, a evo ide, onda æe poznati da je bio prorok meðu njima.
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
