Izaija 1
1 Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: “Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Jehovah has spoken. I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.
3 Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.”
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib, but Israel does not know; my people does not consider.
4 Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Jehovah. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They have gone away backward.
5 TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;
Why will ye still be stricken, that ye revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes. They have not been closed nor bound up nor soothed with oil.
7 Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.
Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Your land-strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.
Unless Jehovah of hosts had left to us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.
10 Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 “Što će mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?” - govori Jahve. - “Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says Jehovah. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats.
12 Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?
When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand-to trample my courts?
13 Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.
Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting.
14 Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
16 operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!
Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.”
Learn to do good. Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 “Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo,” govori Jahve. “Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet će poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat će kao vuna.
Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.
If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.
20 U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.” Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword, for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken it.
21 Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.
How the faithful city has become a harlot! She who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
22 Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.
Thy silver has become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
23 Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.
Thy rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They judge not the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: “Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!
Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies.
25 Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin.
26 Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.”
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward thou shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.
27 Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.
Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
28 Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.
But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
And the strong man shall be as flax, and his work as a spark. And they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
