< 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 burden of Egypt. Behold, Yhwh rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
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 set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, 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 shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 Egipćane ja predajem u ruke gospodaru okrutnu, kralj silovit njima će vladati - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Yhwh of Armies.
5 Nestat će vode iz mora, presahnut će i presušiti Rijeka,
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 zaudarat će prokopi, spast će rukavci Rijeke egipatske i presušiti. Uvenut će trska i sita,
And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 sva zelen pokraj Nila; usahnut će na Nilu svi usjevi, propast će, raspršit' se, iščeznuti.
The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 Tužit će ribari, kukat će svi što u Nil udicu bacaju; jadikovat će oni što u vodi mrežu razapinju.
The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Postidjet će se lanari, grebenari i tkači bijela tkanja.
Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 Snuždit će se tkalci, rastužiti radnici.
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 Pravi su luđaci knezovi soanski, mudri savjetnici faraonovi glupo svjetuju; kako se usuđujete reći faraonu: “Učenik sam mudraca, učenik drevnih kraljeva?”
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 TÓa gdje su tvoji mudraci? Nek' ti dojave i obznane što je Jahve nad Vojskama nakanio s Egiptom.
Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what Yhwh of Armies hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 Ludi su knezovi taniški, prevareni knezovi memfiški, oni zavode Egipat, glavare njegovih plemena.
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 U njih je ulio Jahve duh vrtoglavi te zavode Egipat u svakom mu činu da tetura k'o pijanac kada bljuje.
Yhwh hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 U Egiptu više ne može uspjeti ništa od onog što čine glava i rep, palma i sita.
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may 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 shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yhwh of Armies, which he shaketh 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 shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of Yhwh of Armies, which he hath determined 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 shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yhwh of Armies; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 U onaj će dan biti žrtvenik Jahvin usred zemlje egipatske i stup posvećen Jahvi blizu granice njegove.
In that day shall there be an altar to Yhwh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Yhwh.
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 shall be for a sign and for a witness unto Yhwh of Armies in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto Yhwh because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
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 Yhwh shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Yhwh in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto Yhwh, and perform it.
22 Jahve će teško udariti Egipćane, ali će ih iscijeliti; obratit će se oni Jahvi i on će ih uslišiti i iscijeliti.
And Yhwh shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to Yhwh, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
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 shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 U onaj će dan Izrael, treći s Egiptom i Asirijom, biti blagoslovljen usred zemlje.
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Jahve nad Vojskama blagoslovit će ga: “Nek' je blagoslovljen”, reći će, “moj narod egipatski, djelo mojih ruku Asirija i baština moja Izrael.”
Whom Yhwh of Armies shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
