Izaija 19
1 Proroštvo o Egiptu. Gle, Jahve sjedi na brzu oblaku, u Egipat dolazi. Dršću pred njim idoli egipatski, u njedrima premire srce Egipćana.
The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.
2 Podbost ću Egipćane protiv Egipćana, i brat će se s bratom svojim boriti, drug s drugom, grad s gradom, a kraljevstvo s kraljevstvom.
And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Egiptu se pamet muti, ja sprečavam njegove naume; oni traže idole i vrače, opsjenare i gatare.
And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
4 Egipćane ja predajem u ruke gospodaru okrutnu, kralj silovit njima će vladati - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
5 Nestat će vode iz mora, presahnut će i presušiti Rijeka,
And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
6 zaudarat će prokopi, spast će rukavci Rijeke egipatske i presušiti. Uvenut će trska i sita,
And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
7 sva zelen pokraj Nila; usahnut će na Nilu svi usjevi, propast će, raspršit' se, iščeznuti.
The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8 Tužit će ribari, kukat će svi što u Nil udicu bacaju; jadikovat će oni što u vodi mrežu razapinju.
The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9 Postidjet će se lanari, grebenari i tkači bijela tkanja.
And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10 Snuždit će se tkalci, rastužiti radnici.
And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
11 Pravi su luđaci knezovi soanski, mudri savjetnici faraonovi glupo svjetuju; kako se usuđujete reći faraonu: “Učenik sam mudraca, učenik drevnih kraljeva?”
The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?
12 TÓa gdje su tvoji mudraci? Nek' ti dojave i obznane što je Jahve nad Vojskama nakanio s Egiptom.
Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
13 Ludi su knezovi taniški, prevareni knezovi memfiški, oni zavode Egipat, glavare njegovih plemena.
The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
14 U njih je ulio Jahve duh vrtoglavi te zavode Egipat u svakom mu činu da tetura k'o pijanac kada bljuje.
The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
15 U Egiptu više ne može uspjeti ništa od onog što čine glava i rep, palma i sita.
And in Egypt there will be no work for any man, head or tail, high or low, to do.
16 U onaj će dan Egipćani postati kao žene, drhtat će i strepiti od zamaha ruke Jahve nad Vojskama kojom će zamahnuti na njih.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
17 Zemlja će Judina biti na užas Egiptu; kad god je se sjeti, strah će ga obuzeti zbog onoga što je Jahve nad Vojskama protiv njega naumio.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
18 U onaj će se dan u zemlji egipatskoj pet gradova što govore kanaanskim jezikom zakleti Jahvi nad Vojskama; jedan će se od njih zvati Ir Hahres.
In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
19 U onaj će dan biti žrtvenik Jahvin usred zemlje egipatske i stup posvećen Jahvi blizu granice njegove.
In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.
20 To će Jahvi nad Vojskama biti znak i svjedočanstvo u egipatskoj zemlji. Kad zazovu Jahvu protiv tlačitelja, on će im poslati spasitelja i vođu da ih izbavi.
And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
21 I objavit će se Jahve Egipćanima, i u onaj će dan Egipćani spoznati Jahvu; služit će mu žrtvama i prinosima, zavjetovat će se i izvršavati zavjete.
And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
22 Jahve će teško udariti Egipćane, ali će ih iscijeliti; obratit će se oni Jahvi i on će ih uslišiti i iscijeliti.
And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
23 U onaj će dan ići cesta od Egipta do Asirije. Asirci će dolaziti u Egipat, a Egipćani u Asiriju. Egipat i Asirija služit će Jahvi.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
24 U onaj će dan Izrael, treći s Egiptom i Asirijom, biti blagoslovljen usred zemlje.
In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:
25 Jahve nad Vojskama blagoslovit će ga: “Nek' je blagoslovljen”, reći će, “moj narod egipatski, djelo mojih ruku Asirija i baština moja Izrael.”
Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
