Izaija 22
1 Proroštvo o Dolini viđenja: Što ti je da uzlaziš sav na krovove,
The burden concerning the Valley of Vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops,
2 grade pun vreve, grade bučni, grade razigrani? Pobijeni tvoji ne padoše od mača, nit' u boju poginuše mrtvi tvoji;
Thou that art full of uproar, a tumultuous city, a joyous town? Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3 glavari svi ti zajedno pobjegoše, u ropstvo padoše luka ne napevši. Zasužnjeni su svi tvoji knezovi, zalud umakoše daleko.
All thy rulers are fled together, without the bow they are bound; all that are found of thee are bound together, they are fled afar off.
4 Zato velim: “Ostavite me, zaplakat ću gorko; nemojte me tješiti zbog uništenja naroda moga.”
Therefore said I: 'Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; strain not to comfort me, for the destruction 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 trampling, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; Kir shouting, and Shoa at the mount.
6 Elam tobolac uzima, Aram konja jaše, a Kir štit otkriva.
And Elam bore the quiver, with troops of men, even horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Krasne doline tvoje pune su bojnih kola, konjanici stižu pred vrata.
And it came to pass, when thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate,
8 Tako pada Judi zaštita. U onaj dan svrnuo si pogled na oružje u Šumskoj kući.
And the covering of Judah was laid bare, that thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
9 Vidjeste da u gradu Davidovu ima mnogo pukotina. Sabraste vodu iz Donjega ribnjaka.
And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Prebrojiste kuće jeruzalemske, porušiste kuće da zid učvrstite.
And ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses to fortify the wall;
11 Između dva zida načiniste spremište za vodu iz starog ribnjaka. Ali se ne obazreste na Tvorca, nit' vidjeste onog što davno sve smisli.
ye made also a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool — but ye looked not unto Him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto Him that fashioned it long ago.
12 Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, pozivaše vas u dan onaj da plačete i tugujete, da obrijete glave i pripašete kostrijet.
And in that day did the Lord, the GOD of hosts, call to weeping, and to lamentation, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
13 A gle: radost i veselje, ubijaju goveda i kolju ovce; jedu meso i piju vino: “Jedimo i pijmo, jer sutra nam je mrijeti.”
And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine — 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!'
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 hosts revealed Himself in mine ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be expiated by you till ye die, saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
15 Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama: “Hajde, idi k onom dvorjaninu, k Šibni, nadstojniku dvora,
Thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: Go, get thee unto this steward, even unto Shebna, who is over the house:
16 koji kleše sebi grob na uzvisini i u stijeni sebi prebivalište usijeca: 'Što tu posjeduješ i koga tu imaš da sebi klešeš grobnicu?'
What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre, thou that hewest thee out a sepulchre on high, and gravest a habitation for thyself in the rock?
17 Gle, Jahve će te baciti daleko udarcem jednim jedinim, snažno će te uhvatiti,
Behold, the LORD will hurl thee up and down with a man's throw; yea, He will wind thee round and round;
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!”
He will violently roll and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of the lord's house.
19 Lišit ću te tvoje službe, otjerat te sa tvog mjesta;
And I will thrust thee from thy post, and from thy station shalt thou be pulled down.
20 i pozvat ću svoga slugu Elijakima, sina Hilkijina.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call 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 clothe him with thy robe, and bind him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 Metnut ću mu na pleća ključ od kuće Davidove: kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti, kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti.
And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 Kao klin zabit ću ga na tvrdu mjestu; i postat će prijesto slave domu oca svojega.
And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of honour to his father's house.
24 O njega će se vješati sva slava njegova doma očinskog, izdanci i potomstvo, sve malo posuđe, od zdjelica do ćupova.
And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.
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, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the peg that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
