Ezekiel, 25

1. I doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

1. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:

2. "Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice k sinovima Amonovim te prorokuj protiv njih!

2. “Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filios Ammon et propheta de eis

3. Reci sinovima Amonovim: 'Poslušajte rijeè Jahve Gospoda! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Zato što vi klicaste 'ha, ha!' nad mojim Svetištem kad ono bijaše oskvrnuto, i nad zemljom Izraelovom kad ona bijaše opustošena, i nad domom Judinim kad odlažaše u izgnanstvo,

3. et dices filiis Ammon: Audite verbum Domini Dei. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dixisti: “Euge!” super sanctuarium meum, quia pollutum est, et super terram Israel, quoniam desolata est, et super domum Iudae, quoniam ducti sunt in captivitatem,

4. predat æu vas, evo, u posjed sinovima Istoka da usred vas razapnu svoje šatore, udare svoja prebivališta. Oni neka jedu tvoje plodove i piju mlijeko tvoje!

4. idcirco ego tradam te filiis orientalibus in hereditatem, et collocabunt castra sua in te et ponent in te tentoria sua; ipsi comedent fruges tuas, et ipsi bibent lac tuum.

5. Od Rabe æu pašnjake za deve naèiniti, a u zemlji Amonovih sinova torove æu za ovce podiæi. I znat æete da sam ja Jahve!'

5. Daboque Rabba in pascua camelorum et filios Ammon in cubile pecorum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.

6. Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što si pljeskao rukama i udarao nogama i svom se dušom radovao nad zemljom Izraelovom,

6. Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod plausisti manu et percussisti pede et gavisa es ex toto affectu super terram Israel,

7. ja æu, evo, ruku na te podiæi i kao plijen te predati narodima! Istrijebit æu te iz narodÄa, iskorijeniti iz zemalja! Zatrijet æu te! I znat æeš da sam ja Jahve!

7. idcirco ecce ego extendam manum meam super te et tradam te in direptionem gentium et interficiam te de populis et perdam de terris et conteram, et scies quia ego Dominus.

8. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što Moab i Seir govorahu: 'Gle, dom je Judin poput svih naroda',

8. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod dixerunt Moab et Seir: “Ecce sicut omnes gentes domus Iudae!”,

9. otkrit æu, evo, obronke moapske, da s kraja na kraj ostane bez gradova što bijahu ukras zemlje: Bet Haješimot, Baal Meon i Kirjatajim.

9. idcirco ecce ego aperiam latus Moab privans eam civitatibus, civitatibus, inquam, eius, a finibus eius, decore terrae: Bethiesimoth et Baalmeon et Cariathaim;

10. Dat æu ih u posjed sinovima Istoka, neprijateljima Amonaca, da se sinovi Amonovi meðu narodima više ne spominju!

10. filiis orientis cum filiis Ammon dabo eam in hereditatem, ut non sit memoria ultra filiorum Ammon in gentibus.

11. Tako æu izvršiti sud nad Moabom. I znat æe da sam ja Jahve!'

11. Et in Moab faciam iudicia, et scient quia ego Dominus.

12. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što se Edom osveti domu Judinu i tom se osvetom teško ogriješi,

12. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod fecit Idumaea ultionem, ut se vindicaret de domo Iudae, peccavitque delinquens et vindictam expetivit de eis,

13. ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Podiæi æu ruku na Edom, istrijebit æu iz njega ljude i životinje! Pretvorit æu ga u pustinju: od Temana do Dedana svi æe od maèa izginuti.

13. idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Extendam manum meam super Idumaeam et auferam de ea hominem et iumentum et faciam eam desertum; de Theman et usque Dedan gladio cadent.

14. Tako æu se osvetiti Edomu rukom svojega naroda izraelskog. Oni æe postupiti s Edomom prema mojem gnjevu i mojoj srdžbi. I spoznat æe moju osvetu!' - rijeè je Jahve Gospoda.

14. Et dabo ultionem meam super Idumaeam per manum populi mei Israel, et facient in Edom iuxta iram meam et furorem meum, et scient vindictam meam, dicit Dominus Deus.

15. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što Filistejci izvršiše odmazdu, krvavo se osveæujuæi s mržnjom u srcu, razarajuæi sve zbog svojeg neprijateljstva,

15. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod fecerunt Palaestini in vindicta et ulti se sunt toto animo interficientes et implentes inimicitias sempiternas,

16. ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, podižem ruku na Filistejce, istrijebit æu Kereæane, uništit æu sve što preostane na morskoj obali!

16. propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego extendam manum meam super Palaestinos et interficiam Cherethaeos et perdam reliquias maritimae regionis;

17. Tako æu im se strašno osvetiti kaznama jarosnim. I kad im se osvetim, znat æe da sam ja Jahve.'"

17. faciamque in eis ultiones magnas, arguens in furore, et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero vindictam meam super eos”.

Footnotes:

25:1-7 - The prophet Ezekiel pronounces judgment against Ammon, highlighting God's judgment on Israel's enemy nations. God's sovereignty is evident in targeting the nations that rejoiced at the fall of Jerusalem (see also Jeremiah 49:1-6 and Psalm 137:7-9).

25:8-11 - The judgment against Moab reveals God's wrath against those who mock God's people. Moab's sin is demonstrated in its pride and arrogance in despising the Jews. The punishment is a response to this presumption and lack of respect (see also Isaiah 16:6-14 and Amos 2:1-3).

25:12-14 - God's judgment against Edom is proclaimed because of their violence and animosity toward Israel. God promises punishment for their hostile attitude and the unjust vengeance they inflicted on God's people (see also Obadiah 1:10-14 and Jeremiah 49:7-22).

25:15-17 - The prophecy against the Philistines reveals God's punishment for their continued hostility toward Israel. The destruction of Philistia is a warning to those who seek the destruction of God's chosen people (see also Jeremiah 47:1-7 and Amos 1:6-8).

Verses related to Ezekiel, 25:

Ezekiel chapter 25 prophesies against the nations surrounding Israel. What judgments does God pronounce on these people? This comprehensive text declares judgments against Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Philistia for their hostility toward Israel. The chapter addresses topics such as God's sovereignty over all nations, the consequences of pride and divine vindication. Ezekiel 25 also reveals God's care for His people. Investigate with us five biblical passages that illuminate the universal principles of this prophetic chapter.

Jeremiah 49:1: "About the Ammonites. This is what the Lord says: 'Israel has no children? No heirs? Why then did Molech take possession of Gad? Why do your people live in the cities of Gad?'" - Jeremiah also prophesies against the Ammonites, just as Ezekiel does in Ezekiel 25.

Amos 1:13: "This is what the Lord says: 'For three transgressions of Ammon, and even more for four, I will not suspend the punishment. Because they tore the wombs of the pregnant women of Gilead to enlarge their borders'," - Amos prophesies against Ammon for his atrocities, similar to Ezekiel 25.

Zephaniah 2:8-9: "I heard the insults of Moab and the mockery of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and threatened their territory. Therefore, I swear as I live, declares the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, that Moab will become like Sodom, and Ammon like Gomorrah: a place filled with nettles and salt pits, a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the rest of my nation will inherit their land." - Zephaniah prophesies against Moab and Ammon, just as Ezekiel does in Ezekiel 25.

Obadiah 1:11-12: "In the day you stood by, when foreigners took his wealth, when foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. You should not have rejoiced seeing your brother's misfortune on the day of his calamity; nor mocked the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; nor did he boast in the day of his affliction." - Obadiah condemns Edom for its attitude against Judah, similar to the condemnation of Edom in Ezekiel 25.

Psalms 137:7: "Remember, Lord, the Edomites and what they did when Jerusalem was destroyed, when they shouted, 'Destroy it! Demolish it to its foundations!'" - This psalm recalls Edom's attitude during the fall of Jerusalem, which is condemned in Ezekiel 25.
