1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:
1 Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 Sine čovečji, pokaži Jerusalimu gadove njegove,
2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 i reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod Jerusalimu: Postanjem i rodom ti si iz zemlje hananske; otac ti beše Amorejac a mati Hetejka.
3 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite. An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 A o rođenju tvom, kad si se rodila, nije ti pupak odrezan i nisi okupana vodom da bi bila čista, niti si solju natrvena ni pelenama povita.
4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all.
5 Oko te ne požali da ti učini šta od toga i da ti se smiluje: Nego ti bi bačena u polje, jer beše mrska duša tvoja onog dana kad si se rodila.
5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born.
6 I idući mimo tebe i videvši te gde se valjaš u svojoj krvi, rekoh ti: Da si živa u svojoj krvi! I opet ti rekoh: Da si živa u svojoj krvi!
6 “‘“When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’
7 I učinih da rasteš na hiljade kao trava u polju; i ti naraste i posta velika i dođe do najveće lepote; dojke ti napupiše, i dlake te probiše; ali ti beše gola naga.
7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.
8 I idući mimo tebe pogledah te, i gle, godine ti behu godine za ljubljenje; i raširih skut svoj na te, i pokrih golotinju tvoju, i zakleh ti se i učinih veru s tobom, govori Gospod Gospod, i ti posta moja.
8 “‘“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord Yahweh, “and you became mine.
9 I okupah te vodom, i sprah s tebe krv tvoju, i pomazah te uljem.
9 “‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 I obukoh ti vezenu haljinu, i obuh ti crevlje od jazavca, i opasah te tankim platnom i zastreh te svilom.
10 I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 I nakitih te nakitom, i metnuh ti narukvice na ruke i grivnu oko vrata.
11 I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck.
12 I grivnu oko čela metnuh ti, i oboce u uši, slavan venac na glavu.
12 I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 I ti beše okićena zlatom i srebrom, i odelo ti beše od tankog platna i od svile i vezeno, jeđaše belo brašno i med i ulje, i beše vrlo lepa, i prispe do carstva.
13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
14 I raziđe se glas o tebi po narodima radi lepote tvoje, jer beše savršena krasotom mojom, koju metnuh na te, govori Gospod Gospod.
14 Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Ali se ti osloni na lepotu svoju, i prokurva se s glasa svog, te si prosipala kurvarstvo svoje svakome koji prolažaše, i bivala si njegova.
15 “‘“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his.
16 I uzevši od haljina svojih načinila si šarene visine, i kurvala si se na njima, kako nikada nije bilo niti će biti.
16 You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be.
17 I uzevši krasni nakit svoj od mog zlata i od mog srebra što ti dadoh, načinila si sebi muške likove, i kurvala si se s njima.
17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them.
18 I uzevši vezene haljine svoje zaodela si ih, i ulje moje i kad moj stavila si pred njih.
18 You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 I hleb moj, koji ti dadoh, belo brašno i ulje i med, čim te hranjah, postavila si pred njih za miris ugodni. Tako je bilo, govori Gospod Gospod.
19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord Yahweh.
20 I uzimala si sinove svoje i kćeri svoje koje si rodila, i njih si im prinosila da se spale. Malo li beše kurvarstva tvog,
20 “‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 te si i sinove moje klala i davala si ih da im se provedu kroz oganj?
21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 I uza sve gadove svoje i kurvarstva svoja nisi se opominjala dana mladosti svoje kad si bila gola i naga i valjala se u krvi svojoj.
22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 I posle sve zloće svoje, (teško, teško tebi! Govori Gospod Gospod,)
23 “‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord Yahweh—
24 sagradila si sebi kuću kurvarsku, i načinila si sebi visine na svakoj ulici,
24 “that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 na svakoj rasputici načinila si sebi visinu, i nagrdila si svoju lepotu, i razmetala si noge svoje svakome koji prolažaše, i umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje.
25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
26 Kurvala si se sa sinovima misirskim, susedima svojim velikog tela, i umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje da bi me razgnevila.
26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27 Zato gle, digoh ruku svoju na te i umalih obrok tvoj, i dadoh te na volju nenavidnicima tvojim, kćerima filistejskim, koje beše stid od sramotnog puta tvog.
27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Kurvala si se sa sinovima asirskim, jer se ne mogaše nasititi; kurvala si se s njima, i opet se nisi nasitila.
28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.
29 I umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje u zemlji hananskoj sve do haldejske, i ni tako se nisi nasitila.
29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.
30 Kako je iznemoglo srce tvoje, govori Gospod Gospod, kad činiš sve što čini najgora kurva,
30 “‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord Yahweh, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 kad si gradila kurvarsku kuću na svakoj rasputici i činila visinu na svakoj ulici! A ni kao kurva nisi, jer nisi marila za platu;
31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 nego kao žena preljubočinica, koja mesto muža svog prima druge.
32 “‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 Svim kurvama daje se plata, a ti si davala platu svim milosnicama svojim i darivala si ih da dolaze k tebi sa svih strana da se kurvaju s tobom.
33 People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 I tako je u tebe naopako prema ženama u tvom kurvarstvu: Jer niko ne ide za tobom da se kurva, i ti daješ platu, a ne daje se tebi plata; to je naopako.
34 You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.”’
35 Zato, kurvo, čuj reč Gospodnju.
35 “Therefore, prostitute, hear Yahweh’s word:
36 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Što se otrov tvoj prosu, i što se u kurvanju tvom otkrivala golotinja tvoja tvojim milosnicima i svim gadnim idolima tvojim, i za krv sinova tvojih, koje si im dala,
36 ‘The Lord Yahweh says, “Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
37 zato, evo, ja ću skupiti sve milosnike tvoje, s kojima si se milovala, i sve koje si ljubila, i sve na koje si mrzela, skupiću ih sve oko tebe, i otkriću im golotinju tvoju da vide svu golotinju tvoju.
37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 I sudiću ti kako se sudi onima koje čine preljubu i onima koje krv prolivaju, i daću te na smrt gnevu i revnosti.
38 I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 I predaću te u njihove ruke, te će razoriti tvoju kuću kurvarsku i raskopati visine tvoje, i svući će haljine s tebe, i uzeće ti krasni nakit i ostaviće te golu nagu.
39 I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare.
40 I dovešće na te ljudstvo, te će te zasuti kamenjem, i izbošće te mačevima svojim.
40 They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 I popaliće kuće tvoje ognjem, i izvršiće na tebi sud pred mnogim ženama, i učiniću te ćeš se okaniti kurvanja i nećeš više davati plate.
41 They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more.
42 I namiriću gnev svoj nad tobom, i revnost će se moja ukloniti od tebe, i umiriću se, i neću se više gneviti.
42 So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more.
43 Zato što se nisi opominjala dana mladosti svoje, nego si me dražila svim tim, zato, evo, i ja ću obratiti put tvoj na tvoju glavu, govori Gospod Gospod, te nećeš činiti grdila niti kakvih gadova svojih.
43 “‘“Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head,” says the Lord Yahweh: “and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 Gle, ko god govori priče, govoriće o tebi priču, i reći će: Kakva mati, takva joj kći.
44 “‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
45 Ti si kći matere svoje, koja se odmetnula od muža svog i dece svoje, i sestra si sestara svojih, koje se odmetnuše od muževa svojih i dece svoje, mati vam je Hetejka a otac Amorejac.
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 A starija ti je sestra Samarija s kćerima svojim, koja ti sedi s leve strane, a mlađa ti je sestra koja ti sedi s desne strane Sodom sa kćerima svojim.
46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.
47 A ti ni njihovim putem nisi hodila, niti si činila po njihovim gadovima, kao da ti to beše malo, nego si bila gora od njih na svim putevima svojim.
47 Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, sestra tvoja Sodom i kćeri njene nisu činile kako si činila ti i tvoje kćeri.
48 As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Evo, ovo beše bezakonje sestre tvoje Sodoma: U ponosu, u izobilju hleba i bezbrižnom miru beše ona i kćeri njene, a ne pomagahu siromahu i ubogom;
49 “‘“Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 nego se ponašahu i činjahu gadove preda mnom, za to ih zatrh kad videh.
50 They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51 Samarija nije zgrešila pola koliko ti, jer si počinila gadova svojih više nego one, te si opravdala sestre svoje svim gadovima svojim koje si učinila.
51 Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
52 I ti dakle, koja si sudila sestrama svojim, nosi sramotu svoju za grehe svoje, kojima si postala grđa od njih; one su pravednije od tebe; i ti se dakle stidi i nosi sramotu, kad si opravdala sestre svoje.
52 You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 Ako dovedeš natrag njihovo roblje, roblje sodomsko i kćeri njene, i roblje samarijsko i kćeri njene, dovešću i tvoje roblje iz ropstva među njima.
53 “‘“I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them;
54 Da nosiš sramotu svoju i da se stidiš za sve što si činila, i da im budeš uteha.
54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
55 Ako se sestre tvoje, Sodom i kćeri njene povrate kao što su bile, i ako se Samarija i kćeri njene povrate kao što su bile, povratićeš se i ti i kćeri tvoje kao što ste bile.
55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.
56 Jer usta tvoja ne pominjaše Sodom, sestru tvoju, u vreme oholosti tvoje,
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 pre nego se otkri zloća tvoja kao u vreme sramote od kćeri sirskih i od svih što su oko njih, kćeri filistejskih, koje te sramoćahu sa svih strana.
57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.
58 Nosi nevaljalstvo svoje i gadove svoje, govori Gospod.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says Yahweh.
59 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Učiniću ti kako si ti učinila prezrevši zakletvu i prestupivši zavet.
59 “‘For the Lord Yahweh says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Ali ću se ja opomenuti zaveta svog koji sam učinio s tobom u vreme mladosti tvoje, i utvrdiću ti večan zavet.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Tada ćeš se opomenuti puteva svojih i postidećeš se kad primiš sestre svoje starije od sebe i mlađe, koje ću ti dati za kćeri, ali ne po tvom zavetu.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 I ja ću utvrditi zavet svoj s tobom, i poznaćeš da sam ja Gospod,
62 I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh;
63 da se opomeneš i postidiš i da ne otvoriš više usta od sramote, kad ti oprostim sve što si učinila, govori Gospod Gospod
63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  4. Quotes verse 16:51 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    With this law of condemnation, Ezekiel too was acquainted: wherefore also he said to Jerusalem, "Thou hast justified thy sisters in all thy sins." Thus everywhere is He wont to linger in the Old Testament, as in a favored place.
