Ezekiel, 3

1. And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”

1. I reèe mi: "Sine èovjeèji, progutaj što je pred tobom! Pojedi taj svitak, te idi i propovijedaj domu Izraelovu!"

2. And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.

2. Otvorih usta, a on mi dade da progutam svitak

3. And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.

3. i reèe: "Sine èovjeèji, nahrani trbuh i nasiti utrobu svitkom što ti ga dajem!" I pojedoh ga, i bijaše mi u ustima sladak kao med.

4. And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.

4. Reèe mi: "Sine èovjeèji, idi domu Izraelovu i prenesi mu moju poruku.

5. For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,

5. Ne šaljem te k narodu nepoznata jezika i nerazumljiva govora, veæ te šaljem domu Izraelovu.

6. and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.

6. Ne šaljem te k mnogim narodima nepoznata jezika i nerazumljiva govora koje ti ne bi mogao razumjeti. A kad bih te k njima i poslao, oni bi te poslušali.

7. Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.

7. A dom te Izraelov neæe poslušati, jer ni mene ne sluša, jer dom je Izraelov tvrde glave i okorjela srca.

8. Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.

8. Evo, zato æu sada otvrdnuti tvoje lice kao što je i njihovo i glavu æu tvoju uèiniti tvrdoglavom kao što je njihova.

9. I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”

9. I ne boj ih se i ne plaši, jer oni su rod odmetnièki!"

10. And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.

10. Reèe mi: "Sine èovjeèji, sve rijeèi što æu ti reæi uzmi k srcu i poslušaj ih svojim ušima.

11. And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”

11. I hajde izgnanicima, sinovima svojega naroda, i reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! - poslušali ili ne poslušali!"

12. And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”

12. Uto me duh podiže i ja za sobom èuh silnu tutnjavu. Slava se Jahvina podigla sa svojega mjesta.

13. and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.

13. Èuh lepet krila onih biæa - udarahu jedno o drugo - i snažnu škripu toèkova što se s njima kretahu i zaglušnu jeku jakoga glasa.

14. Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.

14. Tada me duh prihvati i ponese. I ja iðah ogorèen i gnjevna srca, a ruka me Jahvina èvrsto pritisla.

15. And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.

15. Tako stigoh u Tel Abib, k izgnanicima koji življahu na rijeci Kebaru - onamo gdje se bijahu nastanili - te ostadoh meðu njima sedam dana kao omamljen.

16. Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

16. Poslije sedam dana doðe mi opet rijeè Jahvina:

17. “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.

17. "Sine èovjeèji, postavljam te za èuvara doma Izraelova. I ti æeš rijeèi iz mojih usta slušati i opominjat æeš ih u moje ime.

18. If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.

18. Kad bezbožniku reknem: 'Umrijet æeš', a ti ga ne opomeneš i ne odvratiš od zla puta njegova kako bi mu život spasio, on æe umrijeti sa svojega bezakonja, ali æu ja od tebe tražiti raèun za krv njegovu.

19. But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.

19. A kad opomeneš bezbožnika, a on se ne odvrati od bezakonja i od zla puta svojega, on æe umrijeti zbog svoje krivice, a ti æeš spasiti svoj život.

20. Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.

20. Isto tako, odvrati li se pravednik od svoje pravednosti i stane èiniti nepravdu, postavit æu mu zamku i umrijet æe jer ga ti ne opomenu zbog njegova grijeha; umrijet æe, i njegova se pravedna djela više neæe spominjati, ali æu od tebe tražiti raèun za krv njegovu.

21. But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”

21. Ako li ti pravednika opomeneš da ne griješi, i on zaista prestane griješiti, živjet æe jer je prihvatio opomenu, a i ti æeš spasiti život svoj."

22. And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”

22. Ondje me opet zahvati ruka Jahvina i on mi reèe: "Ustani i siði u dolinu da ondje s tobom govorim!"

23. And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

23. Ustadoh tada i siðoh u dolinu, i gle: Slava Jahvina stajaše ondje, slièna Slavi koju vidjeh na rijeci Kebaru te padoh nièice.

24. And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.

24. Jahvin duh uðe u me, osovi me na noge i reèe: "Idi i zatvori se u domu svojemu!

25. And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.

25. Na te æu, evo, sine èovjeèji, staviti užad i svezati te i više neæeš izlaziti.

26. And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.

26. I jezik æu ti zalijepiti za nepce te æeš onijemjeti i neæeš ih više karati, jer su rod odmetnièki.

27. But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”

27. A kad ti ja progovorim, otvorit æu ti usta i ti æeš im reæi: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! I tko hoæe slušati, neka sluša, a tko neæe, neka ne sluša, jer su rod odmetnièki.
