< Izaija 10 >

1 Jao onima koji izdaju odredbe nepravedne, koji ispisuju propise tlačiteljske;
Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:
2 koji uskraćuju pravdu ubogima i otimlju pravo sirotinji mog naroda, da oplijene udovice, da opljačkaju sirote!
To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.
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 in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 da se ne morate među roblje pognuti, pasti među poklanima? Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 Jao Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, prutu kojim srdžba moja zamahuje!
Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.
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 to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Ali on nije tako mislio i u srcu nije tako sudio, već u srcu zasnova zator, istrebljenje mnogih naroda.
But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 Govoraše: “Nisu li svi knezovi moji kraljevi?
For he shall say:
9 Nije li Kalno kao Karkemiš? Nije li Hamat kao Arpad, Samarija kao Damask?
Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Kao što mi ruka dosegnu kraljevstva kumira, bogatija kipovima od Jeruzalema i Samarije,
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria.
11 kao što učinih sa Samarijom i kumirima njenim, neću li učiniti s Jeruzalemom i s likovima njegovim?”
Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so 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.
And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of 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 hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high.
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.”
And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise.
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;
Shall the axe boast itself against him that cutteth with it? or shall the saw exalt itself against him by whom it is drawn? as if a rod should lift itself up against him that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is but wood.
16 Jahve nad Vojskama poslat će stoga gojaznima njegovim skončanje, slavu će mu ognjem potpaliti, kao što se vatra potpiruje.
Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire.
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 shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day.
18 I krasotu njegovih šuma i voćnjaka uništit će od srčike do kore, ona će biti k'o bolesnik što se trne;
And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear.
19 ostatak stabala šumskih bit će lako izbrojiti - dijete će ih lako popisati.
And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.
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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that shall escape of the house of Jacob, shall lean no more upon him that striketh them: but they shall lean upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Ostatak će se vratiti, ostatak Jakovljev Bogu jakome.
The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, 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,
For if thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be converted, the consumption abridged shall overflow with justice.
23 Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, poharat će, kako odredi, svu zemlju.
For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the 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, thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Sion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall strike thee with his rod, and he shall lift up his staff over thee in the way of Egypt.
25 Jer, još malo, vrlo malo, i gnjev moj će prestati, moja će ih jarost uništiti.”
For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness.
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 shall raise up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Madian in the rock of Oreb, and his rod over the sea, and he shall lift it up in the way of Egypt.
27 U onaj dan: s leđa će ti breme pasti i jaram njegov s vrata će ti nestat'.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall putrify at the presence of the oil.
28 Ide on od Rimona, dolazi na Ajat, prelazi Migron, u Mikmasu breme odlaže.
He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages.
29 Prelaze klance, u Gebi im je noćište; Rama dršće, Gibea Šaulova bježi.
They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away.
30 Viči iza glasa, Bat Galime! Slušaj ga, Lajšo! Odgovori mu, Anatote!
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth.
31 Madmena pobježe, utekoše stanovnici gebimski.
Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage.
32 Još danas zaustavit će se u Nobu, rukom prijeti gori Kćeri sionske, Brijegu jeruzalemskom.
It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Gle, Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, kreše grane silom strahovitom: najviši su vršci posječeni, ponajviši sniženi.
Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled.
34 Pod sjekirom pada šumska guštara, sa slavom svojom pada Libanon.
And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.
