Jezekilj 34
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Sine èovjeèji, prorokuj protiv pastira Izrailjevijeh, prorokuj i reci tijem pastirima: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: teško pastirima Izrailjevijem koji pasu sami sebe! Ne treba li stado da pasu pastiri?
“You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
3 Pretilinu jedete i vunom se odijevate, koljete tovno, stada ne pasete.
[It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
4 Slabijeh ne krijepite, i bolesne ne lijeèite, ranjene ne zavijate, odagnane ne dovodite natrag, izgubljene ne tražite, nego silom i žestinom gospodarite nad njima.
You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
5 I raspršaše se nemajuæi pastira, i raspršavši se postaše hrana svijem zvijerima poljskim.
So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
6 Ovce moje lutaju po svijem gorama i po svijem visokim humovima; i po svoj zemlji raspršane su ovce moje, i nema nikoga da pita za njih, nikoga da ih traži.
My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
7 Zato, pastiri, èujte rijeè Gospodnju;
Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
8 Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, što stado moje posta grabež, i ovce moje postaše hrana svijem zvijerima poljskim nemajuæi pastira, i pastiri moji ne traže stada mojega, nego pastiri pasu sami sebe, a stada mojega ne pasu;
As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
9 Zato, pastiri, èujte rijeè Gospodnju;
Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
10 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo me na te pastire, i iskaæu stado svoje iz njihovijeh ruku, i neæu im dati više da pasu stado, i neæe više pastiri pasti sami sebe, nego æu oteti ovce svoje iz usta njihovijeh i neæe im biti hrana.
I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
11 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo me, ja æu tražiti ovce svoje i gledati ih.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
12 Kao što pastir traži stado svoje kad je kod ovaca svojih raspršanijeh, tako æu tražiti ovce svoje i oteæu ih iz svijeh mjesta kuda se raspršaše kad bijaše oblaèno i mraèno.
Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
13 I izvešæu ih iz naroda, i pokupiæu ih iz zemalja, i dovešæu ih u zemlju njihovu, i pašæu ih na gorama Izrailjevijem pokraj potoka i po svijem mjestima naseljenijem u zemlji.
I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
14 Na dobroj paši pašæu ih, i tor æe im biti na visokim gorama Izrailjevijem; ondje æe ležati u dobrom toru i po obilatoj æe paši pasti na gorama Izrailjevijem.
[It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
15 Ja æu pasti stado svoje, i ja æu ih odmarati, govori Gospod Gospod.
I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
16 Tražiæu izgubljenu, i dovešæu natrag odagnanu, i ranjenu æu zaviti i bolesnu okrijepiti; a tovnu æu i jaku potrti, pašæu ih pravo.
I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
17 A vama, stado moje, ovako govori Gospod Gospod: evo ja æu suditi izmeðu ovce i ovce, izmeðu ovnova i jaraca.
And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
18 Malo li vam je što pasete na dobroj paši, nego ostatak paše svoje gazite nogama svojim? i što pijete bistru vodu, nego ostatak mutite nogama svojim?
It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
19 A moje ovce pasu što vi nogama svojim izgazite, i piju što vi zamutite nogama svojim.
[It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
20 Zato ovako im veli Gospod Gospod: evo me, ja æu suditi izmeðu ovce debele i ovce mršave.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
21 Što bocima i ramenima otiskujete i rozima svojim bodete sve bolesne tako da ih razagnaste napolje,
[who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
22 Zato æu izbaviti stado svoje da ne bude više grabež, i sudiæu izmeðu ovce i ovce.
But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
23 I podignuæu im jednoga pastira koji æe ih pasti, slugu svojega Davida; on æe ih pasti i biæe im pastir.
And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
24 A ja Gospod biæu im Bog, i sluga moj David knez meðu njima. Ja Gospod rekoh.
I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
25 I uèiniæu s njima zavjet mirni, istrijebiæu zle zvijeri iz zemlje, i oni æe živjeti u pustinji bez straha i spavaæe u šumama.
I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
26 I blagosloviæu njih i što je oko gore moje, i puštaæu dažd na vrijeme; daždi æe blagoslovni biti.
I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
27 I drveta æe poljska raðati svoj rod, i zemlja æe raðati svoj rod; i oni æe biti u svojoj zemlji bez straha, i poznaæe da sam ja Gospod kad polomim palice jarma njihova, i izbavim ih iz ruku onijeh koji ih zarobiše.
The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
28 I neæe više biti plijen narodima, i zvijeri zemaljske neæe ih jesti, nego æe živjeti bez straha i niko ih neæe plašiti.
[Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
29 I podignuæu im biljku za slavu, i neæe više umirati od gladi u zemlji, niti æe podnositi sramote od naroda.
I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
30 I poznaæe da sam ja Gospod Bog njihov s njima, i oni, dom Izrailjev, da su moj narod, govori Gospod Gospod.
Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
31 A vi ste stado moje, ovce paše moje, vi ljudi, a ja sam Bog vaš, govori Gospod Gospod.
[It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
