Izaija 10

1 Jao onima koji izdaju odredbe nepravedne, koji ispisuju propise tlačiteljske;

Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 koji uskraćuju pravdu ubogima i otimlju pravo sirotinji mog naroda, da oplijene udovice, da opljačkaju sirote!

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 Što ćete činiti u dan kazne kad izdaleka propast dođe? Kom ćete se za pomoć uteći, gdje ostaviti blago svoje

And what will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you 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.

Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

5 Jao Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, prutu kojim srdžba moja zamahuje!

O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.

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 an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take 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.

However, he means not so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

8 Govoraše: “Nisu li svi knezovi moji kraljevi?

For he says, Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Nije li Kalno kao Karkemiš? Nije li Hamat kao Arpad, Samarija kao Damask?

Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 Kao što mi ruka dosegnu kraljevstva kumira, bogatija kipovima od Jeruzalema i Samarije,

As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them 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.

Why it shall come to pass, that when the Lord has performed his whole work on mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

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 it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

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 has found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathers eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

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 ax boast itself against him that hews therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shakes it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

16 Jahve nad Vojskama poslat će stoga gojaznima njegovim skončanje, slavu će mu ognjem potpaliti, kao što se vatra potpiruje.

Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like 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 for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers 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 shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer faints.

19 ostatak stabala šumskih bit će lako izbrojiti - dijete će ih lako popisati.

And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write 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.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay on him that smote them; but shall stay on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 Ostatak će se vratiti, ostatak Jakovljev Bogu jakome.

The remnant shall return, even the 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,

For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, poharat će, kako odredi, svu zemlju.

For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the middle 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 says the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.

25 Jer, još malo, vrlo malo, i gnjev moj će prestati, moja će ih jarost uništiti.”

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in 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 shall stir up a whip for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was on the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner 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 your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

28 Ide on od Rimona, dolazi na Ajat, prelazi Migron, u Mikmasu breme odlaže.

He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he has laid up his carriages:

29 Prelaze klance, u Gebi im je noćište; Rama dršće, Gibea Šaulova bježi.

They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

30 Viči iza glasa, Bat Galime! Slušaj ga, Lajšo! Odgovori mu, Anatote!

Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.

31 Madmena pobježe, utekoše stanovnici gebimski.

Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

32 Još danas zaustavit će se u Nobu, rukom prijeti gori Kćeri sionske, Brijegu jeruzalemskom.

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Gle, Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, kreše grane silom strahovitom: najviši su vršci posječeni, ponajviši sniženi.

Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 Pod sjekirom pada šumska guštara, sa slavom svojom pada Libanon.

And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
