< Jezekilj 44 >

1 I odvede me opet k vratima spoljašnjim od svetinje, koja gledaju na istok, a ona bjehu zatvorena.
Then [in the vision] the man brought me back to the outer entryway to the temple [area], the one on the east side, but the outer entrance was shut.
2 I reèe mi Gospod: ova vrata neka budu zatvorena i da se ne otvoraju, i niko da ne ulazi na njih, jer je Gospod Bog Izrailjev ušao na njih; zato neka budu zatvorena.
Yahweh said to me, “This entrance must remain shut. It must not be opened [by anyone]; no one will be permitted to enter it. It must remain shut because [I], Yahweh, the God of Israel, have [caused it to be sacred by] entering through it.
3 Za kneza su; sam knez neka sjeda na njima da jede hljeb pred Gospodom; kroz trijem od ovijeh vrata neka ulazi i istijem putem neka izlazi.
Only the king [of Israel] will be permitted to sit inside this entryway to eat food in the presence of Yahweh. But he will must enter and leave [the temple area] through the entry room of this entryway.”
4 I odvede me k sjevernijem vratima pred dom; i vidjeh, i gle, dom Gospodnji bješe pun slave Gospodnje, i padoh na lice svoje.
Then the man brought me through the north entryway to the front of the temple. I looked and saw that the glory of Yahweh filled his temple, and I prostrated myself on the ground.
5 I reèe mi Gospod: sine èovjeèji, pazi srcem svojim i vidi oèima svojim i slušaj ušima svojim, što æu ti kazati za sve uredbe doma Gospodnjega i za sve zakone njegove; pazi srcem svojim na sve ulaze u dom i na sve izlaze iz svetinje.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look carefully, and listen carefully to everything that I tell you about all the regulations concerning the temple. Note carefully the temple entrance and all the exits.
6 I reci odmetnièkom domu Izrailjevu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: dosta je gadova vaših, dome Izrailjev,
Say this to the rebellious Israeli people: ‘This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: You Israeli people, I will no longer endure the detestable things that you do!
7 Što uvodiste tuðince neobrezana srca i neobrezana tijela da budu u mojoj svetinji da skvrne dom moj, i prinosiste moj hljeb, pretilinu i krv, i tako prestupaše moj zavjet osim svijeh gadova vaših;
In addition to all the other detestable things that you do, you brought into my temple foreign men who had not been circumcised and who were godless [IDM]. By doing that, you caused my temple to be an unacceptable place to worship me, while you offered food and fat and blood, and you disobeyed my agreement with you.
8 I ne izvršivaste što treba za moju svetinju, nego postaviste ljude po svojoj volji da izvršuju što treba u mojoj svetinji.
Instead of doing what I commanded you to do in regard to my holy things, you appointed foreigners to be in charge of my temple.
9 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: nijedan tuðin neobrezana srca i neobrezana tijela da ne dolazi u moju svetinju, nijedan od svijeh tuðinaca koji su meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem.
But this is what [I], Yahweh, have said: No foreigners, no men who are not circumcised, no godless people are permitted to enter my temple, not even foreigners who live among you [Israelis permanently].
10 A Leviti koji otstupiše od mene kad zaðe Izrailj, koji zaðoše od mene za gadnijem bogovima svojim, nosiæe bezakonje svoje.
[Most of] the descendants of Levi abandoned me along with [most of] the Israeli people, and started to worship idols. They must be punished for their sin.
11 I biæe sluge u mojoj svetinji u službi na vratima od doma služeæi domu; oni æe klati žrtve paljenice i druge žrtve narodu, i stajaæe pred njima služeæi im.
They are [still] permitted to work in my temple and to be in charge of the entrances of the temple, and they are permitted to slaughter the animals that will be completely burned on the altar, and [to burn other] sacrifices for the people, and they will [be able to] help the people.
12 Što im služiše pred gadnijem bogovima njihovijem i biše domu Izrailjevu spoticanje na bezakonje, zato podigoh ruku svoju na njih, govori Gospod Gospod, da æe nositi bezakonje svoje,
But because they helped the people to worship idols and caused [many of] the Israeli people [MTY] to sin [by worshiping idols], I have lifted up my arm and solemnly declared that they must be punished for their sin.
13 I neæe pristupati k meni da mi vrše sveštenièku službu, niti kojoj svetinji mojoj, ni svetinji nad svetinjama neæe pristupati, nego æe nositi sramotu svoju i gadove svoje, koje èiniše.
They must not come near me to serve as priests. They must not come near any sacred things or the holy offerings. They must be ashamed of the shameful things that they did.
14 Nego æu ih postaviti za èuvare domu na svaku službu njegovu i na sve što biva u njemu.
But I will still put them in charge of the work in the temple and allow them to do all the work that needs to be done there.
15 A sveštenici Leviti sinovi Sadokovi, koji izvršivahu što treba u mojoj svetinji, kad sinovi Izrailjevi zaðoše od mene, oni æe pristupati k meni da mi služe, i stajaæe preda mnom prinoseæi mi pretilinu i krv, govori Gospod Gospod.
But [most of] the priests who are descendants of Levi and from the clan of Zadok worked in my temple when the [other] Israelis abandoned me. [So they] are permitted to come near to me to work for me. They will stand in my presence to offer [sacrifices of animals’] fat and blood.
16 Oni neka ulaze u moju svetinju i oni neka pristupaju k stolu mojemu da mi služe i neka izvršuju što sam zapovjedio da se izvršuje.
They [are the only ones who] are permitted to enter my temple. They are [the only ones who are] permitted to come near my altar to serve me and do what I tell them to do.
17 I kad ulaze na vrata unutrašnjega trijema, neka obuku lanene haljine, i ništa da ne bude na njima vuneno kad služe na vratima unutrašnjega trijema i u njemu.
When they enter [one of] the entrances into the inner courtyard, they must wear linen clothes. They must not wear any clothes [made] of wool while they do their work at the entrances of the inner courtyard or inside [the temple].
18 Na glavama neka im budu kape lanene i gaæe lanene po bedrima, i da se ne pašu nièim oda šta bi se znojili.
They must have linen turbans [wrapped] around their heads and wrap linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that would cause them to perspire.
19 A kad izlaze u trijem spoljašnji, u spoljašnji trijem k narodu, neka svuku sa sebe haljine u kojima služe, i ostave ih u klijetima svetijem, pa neka obuku druge haljine, da ne osveæuju naroda haljinama svojim.
Before they go out into the outer courtyard where [other] people are, they must take off the clothes that they have been wearing and leave them in the sacred rooms, and they must put on other clothes, in order that the other people are not punished because of [their touching] the sacred clothes.
20 I glave svoje da ne briju, a ni kose da ne ostavljaju, nego neka strigu glave svoje.
The priests must not shave their heads or allow their hair to become long; but they must regularly trim [the edges of] their hair.
21 I vina da ne pije nijedan sveštenik kad hoæe da uðe u unutrašnji trijem.
Priests must not drink wine before they enter the inner courtyard.
22 I udovicom ni puštenicom da se ne žene, nego djevojkom od sjemena doma Izrailjeva ili udovicom sveštenièkom neka se žene.
[Also], priests must not marry widows [of men who were not priests] or women who have been divorced. [Priests are permitted to marry only] Israeli [MTY] virgins or widows of [other] priests.
23 I narod moj neka uèe što je sveto što li nije sveto, i neka ih uèe raspoznavati neèisto od èistoga.
Priests must teach the people the difference between things that are holy/sacred and things that are not, and they must teach them the difference between things that are acceptable to me and things that are not.
24 A u raspri neka stanu da sude, po mojim zakonima neka sude, i zakone moje i uredbe moje neka drže o svijem praznicima mojim, i subote moje neka svetkuju.
When there are disputes [between people], the priests are the ones who must be the judges and decide according to my laws what must be done. They must obey all my laws and decrees concerning the sacred festivals, and they must keep my Sabbath days (holy/set apart).
25 I k mrtvacu da ne idu da se ne oskvrne; samo za ocem i za materom i za sinom i za kæerju, za bratom i za sestrom neudatom mogu se oskvrniti.
A priest is permitted to go near the corpse of his father or his mother or his son or his daughter or his brother or his unmarried sister; but he is still defiled by doing that. But a priest must not defile himself by going near a corpse of anyone else.
26 A kad se oèisti, neka mu se broji sedam dana.
But [even] if a priest touches the corpse [of a close relative, he must perform the rituals to become acceptable to serve me again]. After he performs those rituals, he must wait seven days.
27 I u koji bi dan ušao u svetinju, u trijem unutrašnji, da služi u svetinji, neka prinese žrtvu za grijeh svoj, govori Gospod Gospod.
Then, on the day that he enters the inner courtyard [again] to serve me in the temple, he must give an offering to remove his guilt for his sin. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
28 A našljedstvo što æe imati, ja sam njihovo našljedstvo; i vi im ne dajte dostojanja u Izrailju, ja sam njihovo dostojanje.
The priests are not permitted to own any property. They will have only what I [provide for them].
29 Dar i žrtvu za grijeh i žrtvu za krivicu oni æe jesti; i sve zavjetovano u Izrailju njihovo æe biti.
They will eat the offerings [other people make] from grain, offerings to remove people’s guilt for having sinned, and offerings made when people fail to give to Yahweh the things that they are required to give. Everything [else] in Israel that is completely dedicated to [me], Yahweh, will belong to the priests.
30 I prvine od svakoga prvoga roda i svi prinosi podizani od svega izmeðu svijeh prinosa vaših biæe sveštenicima; i prvine od tijesta svojega davaæete svešteniku da bi poèivao blagoslov na domovima vašim.
The best fruits of the first part of each harvest and all the [other] special gifts that are given to me will belong to the priests. You must give them the first part of your finely-ground flour, in order that I will bless [the people who live in] [MTY] your houses.
31 Sveštenici da ne jedu mrcinoga ni što zvjerka raskine, bilo ptica ili što od stoke.
Priests must not eat the flesh of any bird or animal that was found dead or that has been killed by wild animals.’”
