Ezekiel, 37

1. The hand of the Lord was set upon me, and he led me away in the Spirit of the Lord, and he released me in the midst of a plain which was full of bones.

1. I spusti se na me ruka Jahvina i Jahve me u svojem duhu izvede i postavi usred doline pune kostiju.

2. And he led me around, through them, on every side. Now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceedingly dry.

2. Provede me kroz njih, svuda oko njih, i gle, bijaše ih u dolini veoma mnogo i bijahu sasvim suhe!

3. And he said to me, “Son of man, do you think that these bones will live?” And I said, “O Lord God, you know.”

3. Reèe mi: "Sine èovjeèji, mogu li ove kosti oživjeti?" Ja odgovorih: "Jahve Gospode, to samo ti znaš!"

4. And he said to me, “Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!

4. Tad mi reèe: "Prorokuj ovim kostima i reci im: 'O suhe kosti, èujte rijeè Jahvinu!'

5. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.

5. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod ovim kostima: 'Evo, duh æu svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet æete!

6. And I will set sinews upon you, and I will cause flesh to grow over you, and I will extend skin over you. And I will give you spirit, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

6. Žilama æu vas ispreplesti, mesom obložiti, kožom vas obaviti i duh svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet æete - i znat æete da sam ja Jahve!'"

7. And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. But a noise occurred, as I was prophesying, and behold: a commotion. And the bones joined together, each one at its joint.

7. I ja stadoh prorokovati kao što mi bješe zapovjeðeno. I dok sam prorokovao, nastade šuškanje i pomicanje i kosti se stadoše pribirati.

8. And I saw, and behold: sinews and flesh rose up over them; and skin was extended over them. But they had no spirit within them.

8. Pogledah, i gle, po njima narasle žile i meso; kožom se presvukoše, ali duha još ne bijaše u njima.

9. And he said to me: “Prophesy to the spirit! Prophesy, O son of man, and you shall say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord God: Approach, O spirit, from the four winds, and blow across these ones who were slain, and revive them.”

9. I reèe mi: "Prorokuj duhu, sine èovjeèji, prorokuj i reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Od sva èetiri vjetra doði, duše, i dahni u ova trupla da ožive!'"

10. And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. And spirit entered into them, and they lived. And they stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

10. I stadoh prorokovati kao što mi zapovjedi, i duh uðe u njih i oživješe i stadoše na noge - vojska vrlo, vrlo velika.

11. And he said to me: “Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel. They say: ‘Our bones are dried out, and our hope has perished, and we have been cut off.’

11. Reèe mi: "Sine èovjeèji, te kosti - to je sav dom Izraelov. Evo, oni vele: 'Usahnuše nam kosti i propade nam nada, pogibosmo!'

12. Because of this, prophesy, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your tombs, and I will lead you away from your sepulchers, O my people. And I will lead you into the land of Israel.

12. Zato prorokuj i reci im. 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Ja æu otvoriti vaše grobove, izvesti vas iz vaših grobova, narode moj, i odvesti vas u zemlju Izraelovu!

13. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have opened your sepulchers, and when I will have led you away from your tombs, O my people.

13. I znat æete da sam ja Jahve kad otvorim grobove vaše i kad vas izvedem iz vaših grobova, moj narode!

14. And I will place my Spirit within you, and you shall live. And I will cause you to rest upon your own soil. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and acted, says the Lord God.”

14. I duh svoj udahnut æu u vas da oživite, i dovest æu vas u vašu zemlju, i znat æete da ja, Jahve govorim i èinim' - rijeè je Jahve Gospoda."

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

15. I doðe mi rijeè Jahvina:

16. “And as for you, son of man, take up a piece of wood for yourself, and write upon it: ‘For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions.’ And take up another piece of wood, and write upon it: ‘For Joseph, the wood of Ephraim, and for the entire house of Israel, and for his companions.’

16. "Sine èovjeèji, uzmi drvo i napiši na njemu: 'Juda i sinovi Izraelovi, njegovi saveznici!' Onda uzmi drugo drvo i napiši na njemu: 'Josip - drvo Efrajimovo - i sav dom Izraelov, njegov saveznik.'

17. And join these, one to the other, for yourself, as one piece of wood. And they will be united in your hand.

17. I sastavi ih u jedno drvo da budu kao jedno u tvojoj ruci!

18. Then, when the sons of your people will speak to you, saying: ‘Will you not tell us what you intend by this?’

18. A kad te sinovi tvojega naroda zapitaju: 'Hoæeš li nam objasniti što to znaèi?' -

19. you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, which are joined to him, and I will put them together with the wood of Judah, and I will make them one piece of wood. And they will be one in his hand.

19. reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, uzet æu drvo Josipovo, što je u ruci Efrajimovoj, drvo Josipovo i Izraelovih plemena, njegovih saveznika, i sastavit æu ga s drvetom Judinim te æu od njih naèiniti jedno; oba æe biti jedno u mojoj ruci.'

20. Then the pieces of wood, on which you have written, will be in your hand, before their eyes.

20. Oba drveta na koja to napišeš neka ti budu u ruci, njima naoèigled.

21. And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the sons of Israel, from the midst of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them together on every side, and I will lead them onto their own soil.

21. I reci im: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo, skupit æu sinove Izraelove iz naroda u koje doðoše, skupit æu ih odasvud i odvesti ih u zemlju njihovu.

22. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be ruler over all. And they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided any more into two kingdoms.

22. I naèinit æu od njih jedan narod u zemlji, u gorama Izraelovim, i bit æe im svima jedan kralj, i oni više neæe biti dva naroda i neæe više biti razdijeljeni na dva kraljevstva.

23. And they will no longer be defiled by their idols, and by their abominations, and by all their iniquities. And I will save them, out of all the settlements in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them. And they will be my people, and I will be their God.

23. I neæe se više kaljati svojim kumirima, ni svojim grozotama, ni opaèinama. Izbavit æu ih od svih njihovih nevjera kojima zgriješiše i oèistit æu ih, i oni æe biti moj narod, a ja njihov Bog.

24. And my servant David shall be the king over them, and they shall have one shepherd. They shall walk in my judgments, and they shall keep my commandments, and they shall do them.

24. I sluga moj David bit æe im kralj i svima æe im biti jedan pastir. Živjet æe po mojim zakonima, èuvajuæi i vršeæi moje naredbe.

25. And they shall live upon the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived. And they shall live upon it, they and their sons, and the sons of their sons, even for all time. And David, my servant, shall be their leader, in perpetuity.

25. Boravit æe u zemlji koju dadoh sluzi svome Jakovu, u kojoj življahu oci vaši: u njoj æe stanovati oni i njihovi sinovi, i sinovi sinova njihovih dovijeka. I moj sluga David bit æe im knez dovijeka.

26. And I will strike a covenant of peace with them. This will be an everlasting covenant for them. And I will establish them, and multiply them. And I will set my sanctuary in their midst, unceasingly.

26. Sklopit æu s njima savez mira; bit æe to Savez vjeèan s njima. Utvrdit æu ih i razmnožiti i postavit æu Svetište svoje zauvijek meðu njih.

27. And my tabernacle shall be among them. And I will be their God, and they will be my people.

27. Moj æe Šator biti meðu njima i ja æu biti Bog njihov, a oni narod moj!

28. And the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary will be in their midst, forever.”

28. I kad Svetište moje bude zauvijek meðu njima, znat æe svi narodi da sam ja Jahve, koji posveæujem Izraela.'"
