1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, usred doma odmetničkog sediš, koji ima oči da vidi i ne vidi, ima uši da čuje i ne čuje; jer su dom odmetnički.

3 Zato ti, sine čovečji, spremi šta treba za seobu, i seli se obdan na njihove oči; i iseli se iz svog mesta na drugo mesto na njihove oči, ne bi li videli, jer su dom odmetnički.

4 I iznesi stvari svoje kao kad se ko seli obdan na njihove oči, a sam iziđi uveče na njihove oči kao oni koji se sele.

5 Na njihove oči prokopaj zid i iznesi svoje stvari.

6 Na njihove oči digni na ramena i iznesi po mraku, lice svoje pokrij da ne vidiš zemlje, jer te dadoh da budeš znak u domu Izrailjevom.

7 I učinih tako kako mi se zapovedi; stvari svoje iznesoh obdan kao kad se seli; a uveče prokopah zid rukom; i po mraku iznesoh na ramenima noseći na njihove oči.

8 A u jutru dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

9 Sine čovečji, reče li ti dom Izrailjev, dom odmetnički: Šta radiš?

10 Reci im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ovo je breme za kneza, koji je u Jerusalimu, i za sav dom Izrailjev što je onde.

11 Reci: Ja sam vam znak, kako ja učinih tako će im biti; preseliće se i otići u ropstvo.

12 I knez koji je među njima noseći na ramenima po mraku će izaći; oni će prokopati zid da iznesu, on će pokriti lice svoje da ne vidi zemlje očima.

13 Ali ću mu razapeti mrežu svoju i uhvatiće se u zamku moju, i odvešću ga u Vavilon, u zemlju haldejsku, ali je neće videti, a onde će umreti.

14 I sve koji su oko njega, pomoćnike njegove, i svu vojsku njegovu, rasejaću u sve vetrove, i izvući ću mač za njima.

15 I poznaće da sam ja Gospod, kad ih rasejem po narodima, i razaspem po zemljama.

16 A ostaviću ih nekoliko ljudi koji će ostati od mača i od gladi i od pomora da pripovedaju sve gadove svoje među narodima u koje otidu; i poznaće da sam ja Gospod.

17 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

18 Sine čovečji, hleb svoj jedi prezajući i vodu svoju pij drhćući i brinući se.

19 I reci narodu zemaljskom: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod za stanovnike jerusalimske, za zemlju Izrailjevu: hleb će svoj jesti u brizi i vodu će svoju piti prepadajući se, jer će zemlja opusteti i ostati bez svega što je u njoj za bezakonje svih koji žive u njoj.

20 I gradovi u kojima žive opusteće, i zemlja će biti pusta, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

21 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

22 Sine čovečji, kakva je to priča u vas o zemlji Izrailjevoj što govorite: Protežu se dani, i od utvare neće biti ništa?

23 Zato im reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ukinuću tu priču i neću je više govoriti u Izrailju; nego im reci: Blizu su dani i reč svake utvare.

24 Jer neće više biti u domu Izrailjevom zaludne utvare ni gatanja kojim se laska.

25 Jer ću ja, Gospod, govoriti i šta kažem zbiće se; neće se više odgađati, nego za vašeg vremena, dome odmetnički, reći ću reč i izvršiću je, govori Gospod Gospod.

26 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

27 Sine čovečji, gle, dom Izrailjev govori: Utvara koju taj vidi, do nje ima mnogo vremena, i za daleko vreme taj prorokuje.

28 Zato im reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Neće se više odgađati ni jedna moja reč; reč koju kažem zbiće se, govori Gospod Gospod.

135. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 12

Vastation of the church, and fulfillment of the prophecy. (3)

1-2 They are opposed to the Lord and the Word. (3)

3-12 It is represented that the church has departed from them, through the falsification of the Word in respect to the sense of the letter, until there is no longer any church. (3)

13 They have destroyed the chief truths by reasonings from the natural man, (3)

14-16 and consequently the remaining truths, so that there is little left. (3)

17-20 It is not known what good and truth are. (3)

21-25 The Coming of the Lord will not be delayed. (1)

26-28 It is vain for them to say that the prophecies of the Word concerning the Lord will be fulfilled after a long time. (2, 1)

1 The word of Yahweh also came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don't see, who have ears to hear, and don't hear; for they are a rebellious house.

3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

4 You shall bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving; and you shall go forth yourself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.

5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way.

6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; you shall cover your face, so that you don't see the land: for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.

7 I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.

8 In the morning came the word of Yahweh to me, saying,

9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?

10 Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.

11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.

12 The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.

13 My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

14 I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15 They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.

16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

17 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

18 Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness;

19 and tell the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, [and despoiled] of all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.

20 The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

21 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

22 Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?

23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but Tell them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.

24 For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25 For I am Yahweh; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord Yahweh.

26 Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.

28 Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: None of my words shall be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the Lord Yahweh.
