< Jezekilj 37 >
1 Ruka Gospodnja doðe nada me, i Gospod me izvede u duhu, i postavi me usred polja, koje bijaše puno kosti.
The LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in the LORD’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2 I provede me pokraj njih unaokolo, i gle, bijaše ih vrlo mnogo u polju, i gle, bijahu vrlo suhe.
He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, they were very dry.
3 I reèe mi: sine èovjeèji, hoæe li oživjeti ove kosti? A ja rekoh: Gospode Gospode, ti znaš.
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord GOD, you know.”
4 Tada mi reèe: prorokuj za te kosti, i kaži im: suhe kosti, èujte rijeè Gospodnju.
Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear the LORD’s word.
5 Ovako govori Gospod Gospod ovijem kostima: gle, ja æu metnuti u vas duh, i oživjeæete.
The Lord GOD says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
6 I metnuæu na vas žile, i obložiæu vas mesom, i navuæi æu na vas kožu, i metnuæu u vas duh, i oživjeæete, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod.
I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
7 Tada stadoh prorokovati, kako mi se zapovjedi; a kad prorokovah nasta glas, i gle potres, i kosti se pribirahu svaka ka svojoj kosti.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 I pogledah, i gle, po njima izidoše žile i meso, i ozgo se koža navuèe; ali duha ne bješe u njima.
I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
9 Tada mi reèe: prorokuj duhu, prorokuj, sine èovjeèji, i reci duhu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: od èetiri vjetra doði, duše, i duni na ove pobijene da ožive.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”
10 I prorokovah, kako mi se zapovjedi, i uðe u njih duh, i oživješe, i stadoše na noge, bješe vojska vrlo velika.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Tada mi reèe: sine èovjeèji, ove su kosti sav dom Izrailjev; gle, govore: posahnuše kosti naše i proðe nadanje naše, propadosmo.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.’
12 Zato prorokuj, i kaži im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, ja æu otvoriti grobove vaše, i izvešæu vas iz grobova vaših, narode moj, i dovešæu vas u zemlju Izrailjevu.
Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into Eretz-Israel.
13 I poznaæete da sam ja Gospod, kad otvorim grobove vaše, i izvedem vas iz grobova vaših, narode moj.
You will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
14 I metnuæu duh svoj u vas da oživite, i naseliæu vas u vašoj zemlji, i poznaæete da ja govorim i èinim, govori Gospod.
I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
15 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
16 Ti, sine èovjeèji, uzmi jedno drvo, i napiši na njemu: Judi i sinovima Izrailjevijem, drugovima njegovijem. Pa onda uzmi drugo drvo, i na njemu napiši: Josifu drvo Jefremovo i svega doma Izrailjeva, drugova njegovijeh.
“You, son of man, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.’
17 I sastavi ih jedno s drugim da budu kao jedno u tvojoj ruci.
Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18 I kad ti reku sinovi tvoga naroda govoreæi: hoæeš li nam kazati šta ti je to?
“When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
19 Reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, ja æu uzeti drvo Josifovo, što je u Jefremovoj ruci, i plemena Izrailjevijeh, drugova njegovijeh, i sastaviæu ga s drvetom Judinijem, i naèiniæu od njih jedno drvo, i biæe jedno u mojoj ruci.
tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 I drveta, na kojima napišeš, neka ti budu u ruci pred njima.
The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
21 I reci im: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, ja æu uzeti sinove Izrailjeve iz naroda u koje otidoše, i sabraæu ih otsvuda, i dovešæu ih u zemlju njihovu.
Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
22 I naèiniæu od njih jedan narod u zemlji, na gorama Izrailjevijem, i jedan æe car biti car svjema njima, niti æe više biti dva naroda, niti æe više biti razdijeljeni u dva carstva.
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 I neæe se više skvrniti gadnijem bogovima svojim ni gnusobama svojim niti kakijem prijestupima svojim, i izbaviæu ih iz svijeh stanova njihovijeh u kojima griješiše, i oèistiæu ih, i oni æe mi biti narod i ja æu im biti Bog.
They won’t defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their God.
24 I sluga moj David biæe im car, i svi æe imati jednoga pastira, i hodiæe po mojim zakonima, i uredbe æe moje držati i izvršivati.
“‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 I sjedjeæe u zemlji koju dadoh sluzi svojemu Jakovu, u kojoj sjedješe oci vaši; u njoj æe sjedjeti oni i sinovi njihovi i sinovi sinova njihovijeh dovijeka, i David sluga moj biæe im knez dovijeka.
They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.
26 I uèiniæu s njima zavjet mirni, biæe vjeèan zavjet s njima, i utvrdiæu ih i umnožiæu ih, i namjestiæu svetinju svoju usred njih navijek.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.
27 I šator æe moj biti kod njih, i ja æu im biti Bog i oni æe mi biti narod.
My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 I narod æe poznati da sam ja Gospod koji posveæujem Izrailja, kad svetinja moja bude usred njih dovijeka.
The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”
