Ezekiel 37

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he led me out in the spirit of the LORD and set me in the center of the plain, which was now filled with bones.	1 I spusti se na me ruka Jahvina i Jahve me u svojem duhu izvede i postavi usred doline pune kostiju.
2 He made me walk among them in every direction so that I saw how many they were on the surface of the plain. How dry they were!	2 Provede me kroz njih, svuda oko njih, i gle, bijaše ih u dolini veoma mnogo i bijahu sasvim suhe!
3 He asked me: Son of man, can these bones come to life? "Lord GOD," I answered, "you alone know that."	3 Reče mi: »Sine čovječji, mogu li ove kosti oživjeti?« Ja odgovorih: »Jahve Gospode, to samo ti znaš!«
4 Then he said to me: Prophesy over these bones, and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!	4 Tad mi reče: »Prorokuj ovim kostima i reci im: ‘O suhe kosti, čujte riječ Jahvinu!’
5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: See! I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life.	5 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod ovim kostima: ‘Evo, duh ću svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete!
6 I will put sinews upon you, make flesh grow over you, cover you with skin, and put spirit in you so that you may come to life and know that I am the LORD.	6 Žilama ću vas ispreplesti, mesom obložiti, kožom vas obaviti i duh svoj udahnuti u vas i oživjet ćete – i znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!’«
7 I prophesied as I had been told, and even as I was prophesying I heard a noise; it was a rattling as the bones came together, bone joining bone.	7 I ja stadoh prorokovati kao što mi bješe zapovjeđeno. I dok sam prorokovao, nastade šuškanje i pomicanje i kosti se stadoše pribirati.
8 I saw the sinews and the flesh come upon them, and the skin cover them, but there was no spirit in them.	8 Pogledah, i gle, po njima narasle žile i meso; kožom se presvukoše, ali duha još ne bijaše u njima.
9 Then he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord GOD: From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain that they may come to life.	9 I reče mi: »Prorokuj duhu, sine čovječji, prorokuj i reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: ‘Od sva četiri vjetra dođi, duše, i dahni u ova trupla da ožive!’«
10 I prophesied as he told me, and the spirit came into them; they came alive and stood upright, a vast army.	10 I stadoh prorokovati kao što mi zapovjedi, i duh uđe u njih i oživješe i stadoše na noge – vojska vrlo, vrlo velika.
11 Then he said to me: Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They have been saying, "Our bones are dried up, our hope is lost, and we are cut off."	11 Reče mi: »Sine čovječji, te kosti – to je sav dom Izraelov. Evo, oni vele: ‘Usahnuše nam kosti i propade nam nada, pogibosmo!’
12 Therefore, prophesy and say to them: Thus says the Lord GOD: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel.	12 Zato prorokuj i reci im. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: ‘Ja ću otvoriti vaše grobove, izvesti vas iz vaših grobova, narode moj, i odvesti vas u zemlju Izraelovu!
13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people!	13 I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve kad otvorim grobove vaše i kad vas izvedem iz vaših grobova, moj narode!
14 I will put my spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the LORD. I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD.	14 I duh svoj udahnut ću u vas da oživite, i dovest ću vas u vašu zemlju, i znat ćete da ja, Jahve, govorim i činim’ – riječ je Jahve Gospoda.«
15 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:	15 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
16 Now, son of man, take a single stick, and write on it: Judah and those Israelites who are associated with him. Then take another stick and write on it: Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him.	16 »Sine čovječji, 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 Then join the two sticks together, so that they form one stick in your hand.	17 I sastavi ih u jedno drvo da budu kao jedno u tvojoj ruci!
18 When your countrymen ask you, "Will you not tell us what you mean by all this?",	18 A kad te sinovi tvojega naroda zapitaju: ‘Hoćeš li nam objasniti što to znači?’ –
19 answer them: Thus says the Lord GOD: (I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and of the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will join to it the stick of Judah, making them a single stick; they shall be one in my hand.	19 reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: ‘Evo, uzet ću drvo Josipovo, što je u ruci Efrajimovoj, drvo Josipovo i Izraelovih plemena, njegovih saveznika, i sastavit ću ga s drvetom Judinim te ću od njih načiniti jedno; oba će biti jedno u mojoj ruci.’
20 The sticks on which you write you shall hold up before them to see.	20 Oba drveta na koja to napišeš neka ti budu u ruci, njima naočigled.
21 Tell them: Thus speaks the Lord GOD:) I will take the Israelites from among the nations to which they have come, and gather them from all sides to bring them back to their land.	21 I reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: ‘Evo, skupit ću sinove Izraelove iz naroda u koje dođoše, skupit ću ih odasvud i odvesti ih u zemlju njihovu.
22 I will make them one nation upon the land, in the mountains of Israel, and there shall be one prince for them all. Never again shall they be two nations, and never again shall they be divided into two kingdoms.	22 I načinit ću od njih jedan narod u zemlji, u gorama Izraelovim, i bit će im svima jedan kralj, i oni više neće biti dva naroda i neće više biti razdijeljeni na dva kraljevstva.
23 No longer shall they defile themselves with their idols, their abominations, and all their transgressions. I will deliver them from all their sins of apostasy, and cleanse them so that they may be my people and I may be their God.	23 I neće se više kaljati svojim kumirima, ni svojim grozotama, ni opačinama. Izbavit ću ih od svih njihovih nevjera kojima zgriješiše i očistit ću ih, i oni će biti moj narod, a ja njihov Bog.
24 My servant David shall be prince over them, and there shall be one shepherd for them all; they shall live by my statutes and carefully observe my decrees.	24 I sluga moj David bit će im kralj i svima će im biti jedan pastir. Živjet će po mojim zakonima, čuvajući i vršeći moje naredbe.
25 They shall live on the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where their fathers lived; they shall live on it forever, they, and their children, and their children's children, with my servant David their prince forever.	25 Boravit će u zemlji koju dadoh sluzi svome Jakovu, u kojoj življahu oci vaši: u njoj će stanovati oni i njihovi sinovi, i sinovi sinova njihovih dovijeka. I moj sluga David bit će im knez dovijeka.
26 I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will multiply them, and put my sanctuary among them forever.	26 Sklopit ću s njima savez mira; bit će to savez vječan s njima. Utvrdit ću ih i razmnožiti i postavit ću svetište svoje zauvijek među njih.
27 My dwelling shall be with them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.	27 Moj će šator biti među njima i ja ću biti Bog njihov, a oni narod moj!
28 Thus the nations shall know that it is I, the LORD, who make Israel holy, when my sanctuary shall be set up among them forever.	28 I kad svetište moje bude zauvijek među njima, znat će svi narodi da sam ja Jahve, koji posvećujem Izraela.’«
