Izaija 10
1 Jao onima koji izdaju odredbe nepravedne, koji ispisuju propise tlačiteljske;
Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,
2 koji uskraćuju pravdu ubogima i otimlju pravo sirotinji mog naroda, da oplijene udovice, da opljačkaju sirote!
to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.
3 Što ćete činiti u dan kazne kad izdaleka propast dođe? Kom ćete se za pomoć uteći, gdje ostaviti blago svoje
What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
4 da se ne morate među roblje pognuti, pasti među poklanima? Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
5 Jao Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, prutu kojim srdžba moja zamahuje!
Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.
6 Na puk ga poslah nevjeran, na narod što me razjari, da ga oplijeni i opljačka, da ga izgazi k'o blato na ulici.
I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoils and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.
7 Ali on nije tako mislio i u srcu nije tako sudio, već u srcu zasnova zator, istrebljenje mnogih naroda.
But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.
8 Govoraše: “Nisu li svi knezovi moji kraljevi?
“Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.
9 Nije li Kalno kao Karkemiš? Nije li Hamat kao Arpad, Samarija kao Damask?
“Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Kao što mi ruka dosegnu kraljevstva kumira, bogatija kipovima od Jeruzalema i Samarije,
As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 kao što učinih sa Samarijom i kumirima njenim, neću li učiniti s Jeruzalemom i s likovima njegovim?”
and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
12 I kad dovrši Gospod sve djelo svoje na gori Sionu i u Jeruzalemu, kaznit će plod ohola srca kralja asirskog i drskost njegovih ponositih očiju.
So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.
13 Jer reče: “Učinih snagom svoje ruke i mudrošću svojom, jer sam uman; uklonih međe narodima i blaga njihova opljačkah, kao junak oborih one što sjede na prijestoljima.
For he says: ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, for I am clever. I have removed the boundaries of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their rulers.
14 Ruka moja kao gnijezda zgrabi bogatstva naroda. Kao što se kÓupe ostavljena jaja, zemlju svu sam pokupio i nikog ne bi krilima da zalepeće, kljun otvori, zapijuče.”
My hand reached as into a nest to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. No wing fluttered, no beak opened or chirped.’”
15 Zar se hvali sjekira povrh onog koji njome siječe? Hoće li se oholit' pila povrh onog koji njome pili? K'o da šiba maše onim koji je podiže, il' štap diže onog koji drvo nije;
Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
16 Jahve nad Vojskama poslat će stoga gojaznima njegovim skončanje, slavu će mu ognjem potpaliti, kao što se vatra potpiruje.
Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.
17 Svjetlost Izraelova bit će poput ognja, Svetac njegov kao plamen koji će zapalit' i proždrijeti drač njegov i trnje njegovo u jednome danu.
And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
18 I krasotu njegovih šuma i voćnjaka uništit će od srčike do kore, ona će biti k'o bolesnik što se trne;
The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
19 ostatak stabala šumskih bit će lako izbrojiti - dijete će ih lako popisati.
The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
20 U onaj dan: Ostatak Izraelov i preživjeli iz kuće Jakovljeve neće se više oslanjati na onoga koji ih bije, već će se iskreno oslanjati na Jahvu, Sveca Izraelova.
On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Ostatak će se vratiti, ostatak Jakovljev Bogu jakome.
A remnant will return —a remnant of Jacob— to the Mighty God.
22 Zaista, o Izraele, sve da naroda tvojega ima kao pijeska u moru, samo će se Ostatak njegov vratiti. Određeno je uništenje, pravda se prelila,
Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
23 Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, poharat će, kako odredi, svu zemlju.
For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24 Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “O narode moj što prebivaš na Sionu, ne boj se Asira kad te šibom tuče, kad štap diže na tebe.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.
25 Jer, još malo, vrlo malo, i gnjev moj će prestati, moja će ih jarost uništiti.”
For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
26 Na nj će Jahve nad Vojskama bičem zamahnuti, kao kad udari Midjan na stijeni Orebu, i štap će dići nad more k'o na putu egipatskom.
And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.
27 U onaj dan: s leđa će ti breme pasti i jaram njegov s vrata će ti nestat'.
On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.
28 Ide on od Rimona, dolazi na Ajat, prelazi Migron, u Mikmasu breme odlaže.
Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing their supplies at Michmash.
29 Prelaze klance, u Gebi im je noćište; Rama dršće, Gibea Šaulova bježi.
They have crossed at the ford: “We will spend the night at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
30 Viči iza glasa, Bat Galime! Slušaj ga, Lajšo! Odgovori mu, Anatote!
Cry aloud, O Daughter of Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! O wretched Anathoth!
31 Madmena pobježe, utekoše stanovnici gebimski.
Madmenah flees; the people of Gebim take refuge.
32 Još danas zaustavit će se u Nobu, rukom prijeti gori Kćeri sionske, Brijegu jeruzalemskom.
Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Gle, Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, kreše grane silom strahovitom: najviši su vršci posječeni, ponajviši sniženi.
Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.
34 Pod sjekirom pada šumska guštara, sa slavom svojom pada Libanon.
He will clear the forest thickets with an axe, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
