Књига пророка Језекиља 23
1 Опет ми дође реч Господња говорећи:
Yahweh said to me,
2 Сине човечји, беху две жене, кћери једне матере.
“You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
3 Оне се курваху у Мисиру, у младости својој курваху се, онде им пипаше груди, и онде им згњечише дојке девојачке.
They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
4 А имена им беху, старијој Ола, а сестри јој Олива; оне посташе моје, и родише синове и кћери. Имена им беху Ола Самарији, а Олива Јерусалиму.
The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 И Ола кад беше моја курваше се, и упаљиваше се за својим милосницима, Асирцима суседима,
Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
6 Који ношаху порфиру, и беху кнезови и властељи, све лепи младићи, витезови, који јахаху на коњима.
[Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
7 И удари у курвање с њима, који сви беху најлепши између синова асирских, и за којима се год упаљиваше, скврњаше се о све гадне богове њихове.
She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
8 А ни с Мисирцима не окани се курвања свог, јер спаваху с њом од младости њене и они јој гњечише девојачке дојке и с њом се курваше.
When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
9 Зато је дадох у руке милосницима њеним, у руке Асирцима, за којима се упаљиваше.
So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
10 Они открише голотињу њену, узеше јој синове и кћери, а њу мачем убише; и она изађе на глас међу женама кад судове извршише на њој.
They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
11 А сестра њена Олива, видећи то, упаљиваше се још горе него она, и курварство њено беше горе од курварства сестре јој.
[younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
12 Упаљиваше се за Асирцима, кнезовима и властељима, суседима, красно одевеним, витезима који јахаху на коњима и сви беху лепи младићи.
Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
13 И видех где се оскврни, и где обе иду једним путем.
I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
14 И ова се још више курваше; јер кад би видела људе написане на зиду, ликове халдејске написане црвенилом,
But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
15 Опасане појасима по бедрима, са шареним капама на глави, који сви беху на очи као војводе налик на синове вавилонске из земље халдејске, своје постојбине,
The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
16 Упаљиваше се за њима чим их виђаше очима својим, и слаше посланике к њима у халдејску.
As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
17 И Вавилоњани долажаху к њој на постељу љубавну, и скврњаху је курварством својим, и пошто би се оскврнила с њима, одвраћаше се душа њена од њих.
Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
18 И кад откри курварства своја и откри голотињу своју, одврати се душа моја од ње као што се одврати душа моја од сестре њене.
But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
19 Јер умножи курварства своја опомињући се дана младости своје кад се курваше у земљи мисирској,
But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 И упаљиваше се за својим милосницима, у којих је тело као у магарца, и течење као у коња.
There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
21 И тако си се вратила на неваљалство младости своје кад ти пипаху груди у Мисиру ради девојачких дојака твојих.
So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
22 За то, Оливо, овако вели Господ Господ: Ево, ја ћу подигнути милоснике твоје на те, оне од којих се одвратила душа твоја, и довешћу их на те од свуда,
“[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
23 Вавилоњане и све Халдејце, Фекођане и Сојане и Којане, све Асирце с њима, лепе младиће, кнезове и властеље све, витезове и људе чувене, који сви јашу на коњима.
soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
24 И доћи ће на те с колима и с колицима и с точковима и с мноштвом народа, и опколиће те са штитовима и штитићима и шлемовима; и њима ћу дати суд да ти суде својим судом.
Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
25 И ставићу ревност своју теби на супрот, те ће радити с тобом гневно, нос и уши одсећи ће ти, и шта те остане пашће од мача, и узеће синове твоје и кћери твоје, и шта те остане прождреће огањ.
Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
26 И свући ће с тебе хаљине, и узеће красни накит твој.
They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
27 Тако ћу учинити крај грдилу твом и твом курвању у земљи мисирској, те нећеш подигнути очију својих к њима и нећеш се више сећати Мисираца.
In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
28 Јер овако вели Господ Господ: Ево, ја ћу те дати у руке онима на које мрзиш, у руке онима од којих се одвратила душа твоја.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
29 И они ће радити с тобом непријатељски, и узеће сву муку твоју, и оставиће те голу нагу, те ће се открити голотиња курварства твог, и грдило твоје и курварство твоје.
They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
30 То ћу ти учинити што си се курвала за народима, што си се оскврнила о њихове гадне богове.
It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
31 Путем сестре своје ишла си, зато ћу дати чашу њену теби у руку.
You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
32 Овако вели Господ Господ: Чашу сестре своје испићеш дубоку и широку, бићеш подсмех и руг, јер чаша много бере.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
33 Напунићеш се пијанства и жалости чашом пустошења и затирања, чашом сестре своје Самарије.
When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
34 И испићеш је и исцедити, и разбићеш је, и дојке ћеш своје покидати, јер ја рекох, говори Господ Господ.
You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
35 Зато овако вели Господ Господ: Што си ме заборавила и бацила ме за леђа своја, за то и ти носи грдило своје и курварства своја.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
36 По том рече ми Господ: Сине човечји, хоћеш ли судити Оли и Оливи? Покажи им гадове њихове,
Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
37 Да су чиниле прељубу и да је крв на рукама њиховим и да су чиниле прељубу с гадним боговима својим и водиле кроз огањ синове своје које су ми родиле, да их једу.
[It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
38 Још и ово ми чинише: Скврнише светињу моју у исти дан, и суботе моје прзнише.
They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
39 Јер заклавши синове своје гадним боговима својим долазише у светињу моју истог дана да је оскврне; и гле, тако чинише усред дома мог.
On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
40 И још слаше по људе да би дошли из далека, и они, чим посланик би послан к њима, гле, одмах долазише, и њих ради си се купала, мазала очи своје и китила си се накитом.
They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
41 И седала си на красан одар, пред којим беше сто постављен, и на њ си метала кад мој и уље моје.
They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
42 И беше онде вика веселог мноштва, и осим људи из гомиле довођаху Савеје из пустиње, који им метаху наруквице на руке и красне венце на главе.
Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 И рекох за остарелу у курварству: Још ће се курвати.
Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
44 И долажаху к њој као што иду к жени курви; тако долажаху к Оли и Оливи, женама неваљалим.
So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
45 Зато ће им праведни људи судити као што се суди женама прељубочиницама и као што се суди онима које проливају крв; јер су прељубочинице и крв је на рукама њиховим.
But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
46 Зато овако говори Господ Господ: Довешћу на њих људство, и даћу их да се злоставе и оплене.
So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
47 И људство ће их засути камењем, и исећи ће их мачевима својим; синове ће њихове и кћери њихове побити, и куће ће њихове спалити огњем.
The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
48 И тако ћу укинути неваљалство у земљи, и научиће се све жене да не раде по вашем неваљалству.
In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
49 И врћи ће ваше неваљалство на вас, и носићете грехе гадних богова својих, и познаћете да сам ја Господ Господ.
[people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
