Izaija 22
1 Proroštvo o Dolini viđenja: Što ti je da uzlaziš sav na krovove,
The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
2 grade pun vreve, grade bučni, grade razigrani? Pobijeni tvoji ne padoše od mača, nit' u boju poginuše mrtvi tvoji;
You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
3 glavari svi ti zajedno pobjegoše, u ropstvo padoše luka ne napevši. Zasužnjeni su svi tvoji knezovi, zalud umakoše daleko.
All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
4 Zato velim: “Ostavite me, zaplakat ću gorko; nemojte me tješiti zbog uništenja naroda moga.”
For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
5 Jer ovo je dan pometnje i rasula od Jahve, Gospoda nad Vojskama. U Dolini viđenja zid se ruši, vapaj za pomoć diže se u goru.
For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
6 Elam tobolac uzima, Aram konja jaše, a Kir štit otkriva.
And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
7 Krasne doline tvoje pune su bojnih kola, konjanici stižu pred vrata.
And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
8 Tako pada Judi zaštita. U onaj dan svrnuo si pogled na oružje u Šumskoj kući.
He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
9 Vidjeste da u gradu Davidovu ima mnogo pukotina. Sabraste vodu iz Donjega ribnjaka.
And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Prebrojiste kuće jeruzalemske, porušiste kuće da zid učvrstite.
And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
11 Između dva zida načiniste spremište za vodu iz starog ribnjaka. Ali se ne obazreste na Tvorca, nit' vidjeste onog što davno sve smisli.
And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
12 Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, pozivaše vas u dan onaj da plačete i tugujete, da obrijete glave i pripašete kostrijet.
And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
13 A gle: radost i veselje, ubijaju goveda i kolju ovce; jedu meso i piju vino: “Jedimo i pijmo, jer sutra nam je mrijeti.”
But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
14 Ali Jahve nad Vojskama objavi mi: “Dok ne umrete, grijeh taj neće vam se oprostiti”, reče Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama.
And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
15 Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama: “Hajde, idi k onom dvorjaninu, k Šibni, nadstojniku dvora,
The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
16 koji kleše sebi grob na uzvisini i u stijeni sebi prebivalište usijeca: 'Što tu posjeduješ i koga tu imaš da sebi klešeš grobnicu?'
Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
17 Gle, Jahve će te baciti daleko udarcem jednim jedinim, snažno će te uhvatiti,
See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
18 smotat će te u klupko, kao loptu te baciti po zemlji širokoj! Ondje ti ćeš umrijeti, s kolima što ti bijahu na slavu, ti, sramoto dvoru svoga gospodara!”
Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
19 Lišit ću te tvoje službe, otjerat te sa tvog mjesta;
And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
20 i pozvat ću svoga slugu Elijakima, sina Hilkijina.
And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
21 Obući ću mu tvoju haljinu, tvojim ću ga pojasom opasat', tvoju ću mu vlast predati u ruke te će biti otac žiteljima jeruzalemskim i kući Judinoj.
And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
22 Metnut ću mu na pleća ključ od kuće Davidove: kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti, kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti.
And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
23 Kao klin zabit ću ga na tvrdu mjestu; i postat će prijesto slave domu oca svojega.
And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
24 O njega će se vješati sva slava njegova doma očinskog, izdanci i potomstvo, sve malo posuđe, od zdjelica do ćupova.
And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
25 U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - izvući će se klin zabijen na tvrdu mjestu, slomit će se i pasti. I sav teret što je visio na njemu razbit će se, jer je Jahve govorio.
In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
