¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹Tada mi dođe riječ Jahvina i reče:

²Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,

²"Sine čovječji, okreni lice prema gorama Izraelovim i prorokuj protiv njih.

³and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

³Reci: 'Gore Izraelove, čujte riječ Jahve Gospoda! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Gore i brežuljci, jaruge i doline, evo, spustit ću mač na vas i oborit ću uzvišice vaše!

⁴Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

⁴Opustjet će žrtvenici vaši i porušit će se stupovi vaši, a vaše poginule pred kumire ću vam baciti.

⁵I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

⁵Pobacat ću trupla sinova Izraelovih pred kumire njihove i rasijat ću kosti vaše oko žrtvenika vaših!

⁶In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

⁶Gdje god boravili, gradovi će vaši biti opustošeni, uzvišice poharane, žrtvenici će vam opustjeti i biti uništeni, kumiri će vaši biti oboreni i nestat će ih, stupovi će vaši biti smrvljeni, sva će djela vaša propasti.

⁷The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁷Među vas će padati poginuli, i znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!

⁸Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.

⁸Ali ću ipak poštedjeti neke od vas: ti će među narodima uteći maču kad se raspršite po zemljama.

⁹Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

⁹Tada će se preživjeli među vama spomenuti mene među narodima kamo budu odvedeni u izgnanstvo, kad im slomim srce preljubničko što se odmetnulo od mene i kad im iskopam preljubničke oči što pođoše za kumirima njihovim. I tada će sami sebi omrznuti zbog nedjela što ih počiniše gadostima svojim.

¹⁰They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.

¹⁰I spoznat će da sam ja Jahve: nisam im zaludu govorio da ću ih udariti svim tim zlom.'"

¹¹Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

¹¹Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: "Pljesni rukama i lupni nogama, te reci: Jao! zbog svih gadnih nedjela dom će Izraelov pasti od mača, gladi i kuge!

¹²He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.

¹²Tko bude daleko, od kuge će umrijeti; tko bude blizu, od mača će pasti, i tko bude opkoljen, od gladi će izdahnuti! Tako ću gnjev iskaliti na njima

¹³You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.

¹³i spoznat će da sam ja Jahve kad im poginuli budu ležali među kumirima oko žrtvenika na svakome povišem brežuljku, nad svim vrhovima planinskim, pod svakim stablom zelenim, pod svakim hrastom granatim, gdje se god prinosio ugodan miris kumirima njihovim.

¹⁴I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁴Ruku ću podići na njih i svu ću im zemlju pretvoriti u pustoš, od pustinje do Rible, posvuda gdje borave! I spoznat će da sam ja Jahve!"
