Jezekilj 9
1 Potom povika iza glasa, te èuh, i reèe: pristupite koji ste poslani na grad svaki s oružjem svojim smrtnijem u ruci.
Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”
2 I gle, šest ljudi doðe do visokih vrata, koja gledaju na sjever, svaki sa svojim oružjem smrtnijem u ruci, i meðu njima bješe jedan èovjek obuèen u platno s opravom pisarskom uz bedricu; i došavši stadoše kod oltara mjedenoga.
Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 A slava Boga Izrailjeva podiže se s heruvima, na kojima bijaše, na prag od doma, i viknu èovjeka obuèenoga u platno koji imaše uz bedricu opravu pisarsku.
[Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,
4 I reèe mu Gospod: proði posred grada, posred Jerusalima, i zabilježi biljegom èela onijem ljudima koji uzdišu i koji ridaju radi svijeh gadova što se èine usred njega.
and said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”
5 A drugima reèe i èuh: proðite za njim po gradu, i pobijte, neka ne žali oko vaše niti se smilujte;
While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.
6 Starce i mladiæe, i djevojke i djecu i žene pobijte da se istrijebe; ali na kome god bude znak, k njemu ne pristupajte; i poènite od moje svetinje. I poèeše od starješina što bjehu pred domom.
Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] in front of the temple.
7 I reèe im: oskvrnite dom, i napunite trijemove pobijenijeh; idite. I izašavši stadoše ubijati.
Then Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.
8 A kad ubijahu i ja ostah, padoh na lice svoje i povikah i rekoh: jaoh Gospode Gospode, eda li æeš zatrti sav ostatak Izrailjev izlivši gnjev svoj na Jerusalim?
While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] Jerusalem?”
9 A on mi reèe: bezakonje doma Izrailjeva i Judina preveliko je, i puna je zemlja krvi, i grad je pun opaèine; jer rekoše: Gospod je ostavio zemlju, i Gospod ne vidi.
He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’
10 Zato ni moje oko neæe žaliti, niti æu se smilovati; put njihov obratiæu na glavu njihovu.
[So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”
11 I gle, èovjek, obuèen u platno, kojemu uz bedricu bijaše oprava pisarska, javi govoreæi: uèinio sam kako si mi zapovjedio.
Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
