Ezekiel 24

Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Godine devete, devetoga mjeseca, desetoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

"Sine čovječji, zapiši ovaj dan: upravo danas kralj babilonski zaposjede Jeruzalem.

And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

Pripovijedaj domu odmetničkom prispodobu. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Pristavi lonac, pristavi i nalij vode u nj!

Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

Baci u nj komade, sve najbolje komade mesa, but i pleće! Napuni ga ponajboljim kostima!

Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

Uzmi najbolje od stada. Pod loncem vatru naloži. Neka dobro uzavri, neka se u njemu skuhaju i kosti.'

Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkom, zahrđalu loncu s kojega se hrđa ne skida! A zatim komad po komad iz njega izvadi, ali za nj ne bacaj kÓockÄe!

For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

Jer krv je njegova u njemu - na golu je kamenu ostavi, po zemlji je ne razlij gdje bi je prašina mogla prekriti!

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

Da se gnjev moj raspali, da mu odmazdim, ostavih krv njegovu na kamenu golom, da se ne pokrije.'

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao gradu krvničkome, jer ću veliku lomaču naložiti!

Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

Skupi drva, vatru potpali, skuhaj meso, primiješaj začina, nek' izgore i kosti!

Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

A zatim ga prazna na žeravicu pristavi da mjed mu se usija i nečistoća njegova sva se rastopi, da se uništi hrđa na njemu!

She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

Grdne li muke! Ali se velika hrđa ne dade s njega skinuti: i vatri odolje.

In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

Sramotan je grijeh tvoj: htjedoh te očistiti, ali se ti ne htjede od grijeha očistiti; i zbog toga se više nećeš očistiti dok nad tobom ne iskalim gnjev svoj!

I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Ja, Jahve, rekoh! I riječ ću ispuniti; neću popustiti: I neću se smilovati niti ću se pokajati! Sudit ću te po putovima tvojim i po djelima tvojim! - riječ je Jahve Gospoda."

Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

"Sine čovječji, evo, nenadanom smrću oduzet ću ti radost očinju! Ne tuguj, ne plači i ne roni suza!

Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

Jecaj tiho, ali ne žali kao što se za mrtvima žali! I povij oko glave povez, a na noge obuj sandale. Ne prekrivaj brade i ne jedi žalobničke pogače."

So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

Ujutro tako prorokovah narodu, a uveče mi žena umrije te sutradan uradih kao što mi bijaše zapovjeđeno.

And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

Narod me na to zapita: "Nećeš li nam reći što znači za nas to što ti radiš?"

Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Ja im odgovorih: "Dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

"Reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, oskvrnut ću svoje Svetište, vaš ponos snažni, radost vam očinju i čežnju duše vaše! I sinovi i kćeri koje ostaviste, od mača će pasti!

And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

Tada ćete uraditi kao što i ja uradih: nećete prekrivati brade i nećete jesti žalobničke pogače!

And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

Povit ćete povez oko glave i obuti na noge sandale! I nećete više tugovati ni plakati, nego ćete čiljeti zbog svojih nedjela i jecati jedan za drugim!

Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

A Ezekiel će vam biti primjer: učinit ćete sve što je i on činio. Kad se to zbude, spoznat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'

Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

A ti, sine čovječji, doista u dan kad im oduzmem snagu, dičnu radost njihovu, radost im očinju, slast duše njihove, sinove i kćeri njihove -

That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

u taj će dan k tebi stići bjegunac da ti to dojavi!

In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

U taj će se dan tvoja usta otvoriti, i ti ćeš tom bjeguncu progovoriti; nećeš više biti nijem. I tako ćeš im biti znak. I oni će spoznati da sam ja Jahve!"
