Ezekiel 15

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows:	1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than wood from the branch of a forest tree?	2 »Sine čovječji! U čemu je trs loze bolji od drugih šumskih drveta?
3 Is its wood used for making anything? Are pegs on which to hang things made from it?	3 Služi li da se od njega štogod načini? Djelja li se od njega klin da se o njega što objesi?
4 There it is, thrown on the fire for fuel. The fire burns off both ends; the middle is charred; can it be keptfor anything now?	4 Gle, baca se u oganj da izgori: kad mu oganj sažeže oba kraja i sredinu spali, može li još čemu poslužiti?
5 While it was intact, you could make nothing with it; burned and charred, is it any more useful now?	5 Eto, ni onda kad bijaše čitav ništa se od njega ne mogaše načiniti. Pa kako će, dakle, čemu poslužiti kad ga plamen sažga?«
6 So, the Lord Yahweh says this: As the wood of the vine among the forest trees, which I have thrownon the fire for fuel, so shal I treat the inhabitants of Jerusalem.	6 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: »Kao što sam trs loze, među drugim drvetima, bacio u oganj da izgori, tako ću postupati i s Jeruzalemcima!
7 I shal set my face against them. They have escaped one fire, but fire wil devour them yet. And youwil know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.	7 Upravit ću lice svoje na njih, i kada se iz jednog ognja izbave, drugi će ih proždrijeti. I spoznat ćete da sam ja Jahve kad lice svoje upravim na njih
8 I shal reduce the country to a desert, because of their infidelity- declares the Lord Yahweh.	8 i svu im zemlju opustošim jer mi bijahu nevjerni!« – riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
