Књига пророка Језекиља 28
1 Опет ми дође реч Господња говорећи:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 Сине човечји, реци кнезу тирском: Овако вели Господ Господ: Што се понесе срце твоје, те велиш: Ја сам Бог, седим на престолу Божјем усред мора; а човек си а не Бог, и изједначујеш срце своје са срцем Божјим;
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 Ето мудрији си од Данила, никаква тајна није сакривена од тебе;
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Стекао си благо мудрошћу својом и разумом својим, и насуо си злата и сребра у ризнице своје;
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Величином мудрости своје у трговини својој умножио си благо своје, те се понесе срце твоје благом твојим;
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Зато овако вели Господ Господ: Што изједначујеш срце своје са срцем Божјим,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 Зато, ево, ја ћу довести на тебе иностранце најљуће између народа, и они ће истргнути мачеве своје на лепоту мудрости твоје, и убиће светлост твоју.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Свалиће те у јаму и умрећеш усред мора смрћу побијених.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Хоћеш ли пред крвником својим казати: Ја сам Бог, кад си човек, а не Бог у руци оног који ће те убити?
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Умрећеш смрћу необрезаних од руке туђинске; јер ја рекох, говори Господ Господ.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Опет ми дође реч Господња говорећи:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 Сине човечји, наричи за царем тирским, и реци му: Овако вели Господ Господ: Ти си печат савршенства, пун си мудрости, и сасвим си леп.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Био си у Едему, врту Божјем; покривало те је свако драго камење: сарад, топаз, дијамант, хрисолит, оних, јаспис, сафир, карбункул, смарагд и злато; онај дан кад си се родио начињени ти бише бубњи твоји и свирале.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Ти си био херувим, помазан да заклањаш; и ја те поставих; ти беше на светој гори Божијој, хођаше посред камења огњеног.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Савршен беше на путевима својим од дана кад се роди докле се не нађе безакоње на теби.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Од мноштва трговине своје напунио си се изнутра насиља, и грешио си; зато ћу те бацити као нечистоту с горе Божје, и затрћу те између камења огњеног, херувиме заклањачу!
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Срце се твоје понесе лепотом твојом, ти поквари мудрост своју светлошћу својом; бацићу те на земљу, пред цареве ћу те положити да те гледају.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Од мноштва безакоња свог, од неправде у трговини својој оскврнио си светињу своју; зато ћу извести огањ испред тебе, који ће те прождрети, и обратићу те у пепео на земљи пред свима који те гледају.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Сви који те познају међу народима препашће се од тебе; бићеш страхота, и неће те бити до века.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Опет ми дође реч Господња говорећи:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 Сине човечји, окрени лице своје према Сидону, и пророкуј против њега,
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 И реци: Овако вели Господ Господ: Ево ме на тебе, Сидоне, и прославићу се усред тебе, и познаће се да сам ја Господ кад извршим судове на њему и посветим се у њему.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 И послаћу помор у њ, и крв на улице његове, и побијени ће падати усред њега од мача, који ће навалити на њих са свих страна, и познаће да сам ја Господ.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 И неће више бити дому Израиљевом трн који боде ни жалац који задаје бол више од свих суседа њихових, који их плене; и познаће да сам ја Господ Господ.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 Овако вели Господ Господ: Кад скупим дом Израиљев из народа међу које су расејани, и посветим се у њима пред народима и населе се у својој земљи коју дадох слузи свом Јакову,
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 Тада ће живети у њој без страха, и градиће куће, и садиће винограде, и живеће без страха кад извршим судове на свима који их пленише са свих страна, и познаће да сам ја Господ Бог њихов.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
