Izaija 21
1 Proroštvo primorskoj pustinji. Kao što vihori, hujeći nad Negebom, dolaze iz pustinje, kraja strahotna
The birthun of the forsakun see. As whirlewyndis comen fro the southwest, it cometh fro desert, fro the orible lond.
2 - otkri mi se u strašnom viđenju - tako pljačkaš pljačka, pustošnik pustoši. “Navali, Elame, opsjedni, Medijo! Dokrajčit ću sve jauke.”
An hard reuelacioun is teld to me; he that is vnfeithful, doith vnfeithfuli; and he that is a distriere, distrieth. Thou Helam, stie, and thou, Meda, biseche; Y made al the weilyng therof for to ceesse.
3 Zato bedra moja probadaju grčevi; bolovi me spopadaju k'o trudovi porodilju; od smućenosti ogluših, od straha obnevidjeh.
Therfor my leendis ben fillid with sorewe; angwische weldide me, as the angwisch of a womman trauelynge of child; Y felle doun, whanne Y herde; Y was disturblid, whanne Y siy.
4 Srce mi dršće, groza me obuze, sumrak za kojim čeznuh postade mi užas.
Myn herte fadide, derknessis astonieden me; Babiloyne, my derlyng, is set to me in to myracle.
5 Postavljaju stol, prostiru stolnjak, jede se i pije ... Ustajte, knezovi, mažite štit!
Sette thou a boord, biholde thou in to a toting place; rise, ye princes, etynge and drynkynge, take ye scheeld.
6 Jer Gospod mi ovako reče: “Idi, postavi stražara! Što vidi, nek' javi.
For whi the Lord seide these thingis to me, Go thou, and sette a lokere; and telle he, what euer thing he seeth.
7 Vidi li konjanike, jahače udvojene, jahače na magarcima, jahače na devama, neka dobro pazi s pažnjom napetom!”
And he siy the chare of tweyne horse men, the stiere of an asse, and the stiere of a camel; and he bihelde diligentli with myche lokyng,
8 A stražar viknu: “Povazdan, Gospodaru, stojim na stražarnici, čitavu noć na straži prostojim.”
and criede as a lioun, Y stonde contynueli bi dai on the totyng place of the Lord, and Y stonde bi alle nyytis on my kepyng.
9 I gle, dolaze konjanici, jahači udvojeni. Oni mi viknuše, oni rekoše: “Pade, pade Babilon! Svi kipovi njegovih bogova o zemlju se razbiše.”
Lo! this cometh, a man stiere of a carte of horse men. And Isaie criede, and seide, Babiloyne felle doun, felle doun; and alle the grauun ymagis of goddis therof ben al to-brokun in to erthe.
10 Omlaćeno žito, čedo gumna moga, što čuh od Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga Izraelova, objavih vam!
Mi threschyng, and the douyter of my cornfloor, Y haue teld to you what thingis Y herde of the Lord of oostis, of God of Israel.
11 Proroštvo o Edomu. Viču mi iz Seira: “Stražaru, koje je doba noći? Stražaru, koje je doba noći?”
The birthun of Duma. It crieth fro Seir to me, Kepere, what our of the niyt? `kepere, what our of the niyt?
12 Stražar odgovori: “Dolazi jutro, a zatim opet noć. Hoćete li pitati, pitajte, vratite se, dođite!”
The kepere seide, Morewtid cometh, and niyt; if ye seken, seke ye, and be ye conuertid, and `come ye.
13 Proroštvo o Arapima. U šikarama pustinjskim počivate, dedanske karavane.
The birthun in Arabie. In the forest at euentid ye schulen slepe, in the pathis of Dodanym.
14 Vodu iznesite pred žedne, stanovnici zemlje temske, iziđite s kruhom pred bjegunca.
Ye that dwellen in the lond of the south, renne, and bere watir to the thristi; and renne ye with looues to hym that fleeth.
15 Pred mačevima bježe oni, pred mačem trgnutim, pred lukom zapetim, pred bojem žestokim.
For thei fledden fro the face of swerdis, fro the face of swerd neiyynge, fro the face of bouwe bent, fro the face of greuouse batel.
16 Da, ovako mi reče Gospod: “Još jedna godina, godina nadničarska, i nestat će sve slave Kedrove.
For the Lord seith these thingis to me, Yit in o yeer, as in the yeer of an hirid man, and al the glorie of Cedar schal be takun awei.
17 A od mnogobrojnih strijelaca među hrabrim sinovima Kedrovim malo će ih ostati.” Tako je govorio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.
And the remenauntis of the noumbre of stronge archeris of the sones of Cedar schulen be maad lesse; for whi the Lord God of Israel spak.
