Jezekilj 8
1 A šeste godine, šestoga mjeseca, dana petoga, kad sjeðah u svojoj kuæi i starješine Judine sjeðahu preda mnom, pade ondje na me ruka Gospoda Gospoda.
On the fifth day of the sixth month [of that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on me.
2 I vidjeh, a to oblik na oèi kao oganj, od bedara mu dolje bješe oganj, a od bedara gore bješe kao svjetlost, kao jaka svjetlost.
[in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot metal.
3 I pruži kao ruku, i uhvati me za kosu na glavi, i podiže me duh meðu nebo i zemlju, i odnese me u Jerusalim u utvari Božjoj na vrata unutrašnja koja gledaju na sjever, gdje stajaše idol od revnosti, koji draži na revnost.
He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
4 I gle, ondje bješe slava Boga Izrailjeva na oèi kao ona što je vidjeh u polju.
And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
5 I reèe mi: sine èovjeèji, podigni oèi svoje k sjeveru. I podigoh oèi svoje k sjeveru, i gle, sa sjevera na vratima oltarskim bijaše onaj idol od revnosti na ulasku.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
6 Potom mi reèe: sine èovjeèji, vidiš li što ti rade? velike gadove koje tu èini dom Izrailjev da otidem daleko od svetinje svoje? Ali æeš još vidjeti veæih gadova.
He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 I odvede me na vrata od trijema, i pogledah, a to jedna rupa u zidu.
Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 A on mi reèe: sine èovjeèji, prokopaj ovaj zid. I prokopah zid, a to jedna vrata.
He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
9 Tada mi reèe: uði i vidi opake gadove koje èine tu.
He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
10 I ušav vidjeh, i gle, svakojake životinje što gamižu i svakojaki gadni skotovi, i svi gadni bogovi doma Izrailjeva bijahu napisani po zidu svuda unaokolo.
So I went in through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
11 I pred njima stajaše sedamdeset ljudi izmeðu starješina doma Izrailjeva s Jazanijom sinom Safanovijem, koji stajaše meðu njima, svaki s kadionicom svojom u ruci, i podizaše se gust oblak od kada.
In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising up.
12 Tada mi reèe: vidiš li, sine èovjeèji, šta èine starješine doma Izrailjeva u mraku svak u svojoj pisanoj klijeti? jer govore: ne vidi nas Gospod, ostavio je Gospod ovu zemlju.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
13 Potom mi reèe: još æeš vidjeti veæih gadova koje oni èine.
He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
14 I odvede me na vrata doma Gospodnjega koja su sa sjevera; i gle, žene sjeðahu i plakahu za Tamuzom.
Then he took me to the entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], Tammuz.
15 I reèe mi: jesi li vidio, sine èovjeèji? još æeš vidjeti veæih gadova od tijeh.
He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
16 I odvede me u trijem unutrašnji doma Gospodnjega; i gle, na ulasku u crkvu Gospodnju izmeðu trijema i oltara bješe oko dvadeset i pet ljudi okrenutijeh leðima k crkvi Gospodnjoj a licem k istoku, i klanjahu se suncu prema istoku.
Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] in the east.
17 Tada mi reèe: jesi li vidio, sine èovjeèji? malo li je domu Judinu što èine te gadove koje èine ovdje? nego još napuniše zemlju nasilja i okrenuše se da me draže; i eto drže granu pred nosom svojim.
He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
18 Zato æu i ja uèiniti u gnjevu, neæe žaliti oko moje, niti æu se smilovati, i kad stanu vikati iza glasa u moje uši, neæu ih uslišiti.
So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
