Ezekiel, 22

1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

1. I doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

2. “And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?

2. "Sine èovjeèji, hoæeš li suditi, hoæeš li suditi gradu krvnièkom? Pokaži mu sve gnusobe njegove!

3. And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.

3. Reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Grade što u sebi krv toliku prolijevaš i što svuda sebi kumire praviš da se okaljaš, kucnu èas tvoj:

4. You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.

4. krvlju što je proli ti sagriješi i kumirima koje napravi ti se okalja, skrativši tako dane svoje i ubrzavši svoje godine. I zato æu te sada uèiniti sramotom meðu narodima, ruglom po svim zemljama.

5. Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.

5. I koji su ti blizu i koji su ti daleko, podrugivat æe se tebi: 'O sramotno ime, grade pokvareni!'

6. Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.

6. Eto, knezovi izraelski - svaki na svoju ruku - u tebi krv prolijevaju.

7. They have abused father and mother within you. The new arrival has been oppressed in your midst. They have grieved the orphan and the widow among you.

7. I u tebi se više ne poštuje ni otac ni majka, došljake tlaèe, siroèad i udovice u tebi zlostavljaju!

8. You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled my Sabbaths.

8. Svetinje moje prezireš, subote oskvrnjuješ.

9. Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.

9. U tebi su klevetnici zbog kojih se krv prolijeva; u tebi se po gorama blaguje, posred tebe èine sramote.

10. They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.

10. U tebi se raskriva sramota oèeva, u tebi siluju žene dok su neèiste.

11. And each one has committed abomination with the wife of his neighbor. And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.

11. Jedan èini gadost sa ženom susjeda svoga, drugi djelom sramotnim oskvrnjuje snahu svoju, a treæi u tebi siluje sestru, kæerku oca svoga.

12. They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood. You have received usury and superabundance, and in avarice you have oppressed your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.

12. Ima ih koji i mito primaju da krv proliju. Uzimaš ujam i pridatak, od bližnjega silom otimaš, a mene zaboravljaš - rijeè je Jahve Gospoda.

13. Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been shed in your midst.

13. Zato, evo, ja rukama plješæem nad plijenom što ga ti napljaèka i nad krvlju što se lije u tebi.

14. How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.

14. Jer, hoæe li srce tvoje izdržati i hoæe li ruke tvoje odoljeti u dane kad ja na te ustanem? Ja, Jahve, rekoh i uèinit æu!

15. And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.

15. Zato æu te raspršiti meðu narode, rasijat' te po zemljama, da uklonim iz tebe svu neèistoæu!

16. And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

16. I bit æeš opet moja baština naoèigled naroda. I znat æeš da sam ja Jahve!'"

17. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17. Doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

18. “Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like the dross of silver.

18. "Sine èovjeèji, dom Izraelov troska mi postade: bakar, srebro, kositar, željezo i olovo u peæi - svi su oni troska!

19. Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem,

19. Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer mi troska postadoste, skupit æu vas, evo, u Jeruzalemu.

20. just as they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.

20. Kao što se skuplja srebro, bakar, željezo, olovo i kositar u peæi te se okolo oganj potpiri da se sve rastali, tako æu i ja vas skupiti u svojem gnjevu i u svojoj jarosti, složiti vas i rastaliti.

21. And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.

21. Jest, skupit æu vas i potpiriti oko vas oganj svoje jarosti da se usred grada rastalite.

22. Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation upon you.”

22. Kao što se srebro u peæi topi, tako æete se i vi u njemu rastopiti. I znat æete da ja, Jahve, gnjev svoj na vas izlijevam!'"

23. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

23. Doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

24. “Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.

24. "Sine èovjeèji, reci još: 'Ti si zemlja još neoèišæena, koju još ne opra kiša dana jarosnoga!

25. There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.

25. Knezovi njezini, poput lavova što rièu i plijen razdiru, ljude proždiru, otimlju im blago i dragocjenosti, množeæi udovice usred nje.

26. Her priests have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.

26. Sveæenici njezini ne poštuju mog Zakona i oskvrnjuju moje svetinje, ne razlikujuæi sveto od nesvetoga, ne uèeæi se luèiti neèisto od èistoga. Zanemarili su subote moje, bez èasti sam u njihovoj sredini.

27. Her leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.

27. Starješine njezine, poput vukova što plijen razdiru i krv prolijevaju, upropašæuju ljude, lakomi na dobitak.

28. And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

28. A proroci njezini sve to premazuju bjelilom i prekrivaju ispraznim viðenjima i lažnim proricanjima zboreæi: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod!' - a Jahve to ne reèe.

29. The people of the land have oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.

29. Imuænici pak èine svakojaka nasilja i otimaèine, siromaha i bijednika ugnjetavaju, a došljaka bespravno tlaèe.

30. And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and I found no one.

30. Tražio sam meðu njima nekoga da podigne zidine i stane na proboje preda me u obranu zemlje, da je ne zatrem, i ne naðoh nikoga.

31. And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”

31. I zato izlih na njih gnjev svoj pa ih zatrijeh ognjem svoje jarosti; putove im njihove na glavu oborih' - rijeè je Jahve Gospoda."
