< Izaija 16 >
1 Šaljite jaganjce vladaru zemlje, od Stijene prema pustinji do gore Kćeri sionske.
Send yee a lambe to the ruler of the worlde from the rocke of the wildernesse, vnto the mountaine of the daughter Zion.
2 Kao razbjegle ptice, kao raspršeno gnijezdo bit će kćeri moapske na arnonskim gazovima.
For it shall be as a birde that flieth, and a nest forsaken: the daughters of Moab shall be at the foordes of Arnon.
3 Daj nam savjet, stvori odluku! Sred podneva sjenu svoju kao noć razastri. Sakrij izagnane, ne izdaj bjegunca.
Gather a cousel, execute iudgement: make thy shadowe as the night in the midday: hide them that are chased out: bewray not him that is fled.
4 Daj da kod tebe borave prognanici moapski, budi im okriljem pred pustošnikom. Kad se skonča tlačitelj, kad nestane pustošnika, kad ugnjetač iščezne iz zemlje,
Let my banished dwell with thee: Moab be thou their couert from the face of the destroyer: for the extortioner shall ende: the destroyer shalbe consumed, and the oppressour shall cease out of the land.
5 učvrstit će se prijesto u blagosti i na njemu će vjerno stolovati, u šatoru Davidovu, sudac koji pravo ište i pravdu čini.
And in mercy shall the throne be prepared, and hee shall sit vpon it in stedfastnesse, in the tabernacle of Dauid, iudging, and seeking iudgement, and hasting iustice.
6 Čuli smo za nadutost Moaba, nadutost preveliku, za ponos, oholost i uznositost; isprazno je njegovo hvastanje.
We haue heard of the pride of Moab, (he is very proud) euen his pride, and his arrogancie, and his indignation, but his lies shall not be so.
7 Zato kuka Moab, nad Moabom svi jauču, za kolačima grožđanim iz Kir Heresa jauču posve slomljeni.
Therefore shall Moab howle vnto Moab: euery one shall howle: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourne, yet they shalbe striken.
8 Jer uvenuše nasadi hešbonski, trsje sibmansko, i lišće su mu pomlatili gospodari naroda. Sezaše do Jazera, zamicaše u pustinju; izdanci mu dosezahu sve do mora.
For ye vineyards of Heshbon are cut downe, and the vine of Sibmah: the lordes of the heathen haue broken the principal vines thereof: they are come vnto Iaazer: they wandred in the wildernesse: her goodly branches stretched out them selues, and went ouer the sea.
9 Zato plačem za trsjem sibmanskim kao što plače Jazer, suzama te ja zalijevam, Hešbone i Elealo! Nad plodovima tvojim, nad jematvom, krik se začu;
Therefore will I weepe with the weeping of Iaazer, and of the vine of Sibmah, O Heshbon: and Elealeh, I will make thee drunke with my teares, because vpon thy sommer fruits, and vpon thy haruest a showting is fallen.
10 nestade iz voćnjaka veselja i radosti. U vinogradima ne pocikuje se, ne kliče se od radosti; ne mastÄi se vino u kaci, zamuknu podvikivanje.
And gladnes is taken away, and ioy out of the plentifull fielde: and in the vineyardes shall be no singing nor shouting for ioy: the treader shall not tread wine in the wine presses: I haue caused the reioycing to cease.
11 Zato utroba moja za Moabom poput harfe dršće, a grudi mi za Kir Herešom.
Wherefore, my bowels shall sounde like an harpe for Moab, and mine inwarde partes for Ker-haresh.
12 Zaludu se pokazuje Moab, umara se na uzvišicama dolazeći u svetište da se moli: ništa postići neće.
And when it shall appeare that Moab shall be wearie of his hie places, then shall hee come to his temple to praie, but he shall not preuaile.
13 Ovo je riječ koju nekoć reče Jahve protiv Moaba.
This is the word that the Lord hath spoken against Moab since that time.
14 A sada govori Jahve ovako: “Za tri godine, godine najamničke, slava će Moabova, sa svim velikim mnoštvom njegovim, potamnjeti, a što od nje ostane, bit će maleno, slabo i nemoćno.”
And nowe the Lord hath spoken, saying, In three yeres, as the yeeres of a hireling, and the glorie of Moab shall be contemned in all the great multitude, and the remnant shalbe very small and feeble.
