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 prophecy concerning Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, And cometh to Egypt; The gods of Egypt tremble at his presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth within her.
2 Podbost ću Egipćane protiv Egipćana, i brat će se s bratom svojim boriti, drug s drugom, grad s gradom, a kraljevstvo s kraljevstvom.
“I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; Brother shall fight against brother, And neighbor against neighbor; City against city, And kingdom against kingdom.
3 Egiptu se pamet muti, ja sprečavam njegove naume; oni traže idole i vrače, opsjenare i gatare.
The spirit of Egypt shall fail within her, And her devices I will bring to naught. Then shall they consult the idols, and the sorcerers, And the necromancers, and the wizards.
4 Egipćane ja predajem u ruke gospodaru okrutnu, kralj silovit njima će vladati - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
But I will give up the Egyptians to the hands of a cruel lord, And a fierce king shall rule over them,” Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
5 Nestat će vode iz mora, presahnut će i presušiti Rijeka,
Then shall the waters fail from the river, Yea, the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 zaudarat će prokopi, spast će rukavci Rijeke egipatske i presušiti. Uvenut će trska i sita,
The streams shall become putrid; The canals of Egypt shall be emptied and dried up; The reed and the rush shall wither.
7 sva zelen pokraj Nila; usahnut će na Nilu svi usjevi, propast će, raspršit' se, iščeznuti.
The meadows by the river, by the borders of the river, And all that groweth by the river, Shall wither, be blasted, and be no more.
8 Tužit će ribari, kukat će svi što u Nil udicu bacaju; jadikovat će oni što u vodi mrežu razapinju.
Then shall the fishermen mourn; All they that cast the hook into the river shall lament, And they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
9 Postidjet će se lanari, grebenari i tkači bijela tkanja.
They, also, that work in flax, And they that weave white linen, shall be confounded.
10 Snuždit će se tkalci, rastužiti radnici.
Her pillars are broken down, And all who labor for hire are grieved in heart.
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 wise counsellors of Pharaoh have been stupid in their counsels. How, then, can ye say to 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 now, thy wise men? Let them tell thee now, so that men may know it, What Jehovah of hosts hath determined concerning 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, Even the chiefs of her tribes have caused Egypt to err.
14 U njih je ulio Jahve duh vrtoglavi te zavode Egipat u svakom mu činu da tetura k'o pijanac kada bljuje.
Jehovah hath mingled within her a spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all her works, As a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.
15 U Egiptu više ne može uspjeti ništa od onog što čine glava i rep, palma i sita.
There shall be nothing which can be done by Egypt, By the head, or the tail, the palm-branch, or the rush.
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 the Egyptians be like women; They shall tremble and fear On account of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, Which he shall shake against them.
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.
The land of Judah shall be a terror to Egypt; Every one to whom it is mentioned shall tremble On account of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, Which he hath determined against them.
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 shall be five cities in the land of Egypt Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing by Jehovah of hosts; One of them shall be called the City 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 shall be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, And in the border of it a pillar to Jehovah,
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.
Which shall be a sign and a witness For Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt, That they cried to Jehovah on account of their oppressors, And he sent them a saviour, and a defender, who delivered 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.
Thus shall Jehovah be made known to Egypt, And the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, And shall offer him sacrifices and oblations; They shall make vows to Jehovah, and perform them.
22 Jahve će teško udariti Egipćane, ali će ih iscijeliti; obratit će se oni Jahvi i on će ih uslišiti i iscijeliti.
Thus Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal her; They shall return to Jehovah; Therefore will he hear and 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 he a highway from Egypt to Assyria, And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, And the Egyptian into Assyria, And the Egyptians shall worship 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 In connection with Egypt and Assyria, A blessing in the midst of 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.”
Jehovah of hosts shall bless them, and say, Blessed be Egypt, my people, And Assyria, the work of my hands, And Israel, my inheritance!
