Izaija 26
1 U onaj dan pjevat ću ovu pjesmu u zemlji Judinoj: “Tvrd grad mi imamo: za obranu nam On podiže zidove i predziđa.
In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.
2 Otvorite vrata! Nek' uđe narod pravedni koji čuva vjernost,
Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
3 čiji je značaj čvrst, koji čuva mir jer se u te uzda.
The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.
4 Uzdajte se u Jahvu dovijeka, jer Jahve je Stijena vječna;
Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.
5 on obara one koji obitavahu visoko, razvaljuje tvrđu visoku, ruši u prah, sravnjuje sa zemljom,
For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
6 te je gaze noge, noge ubogih i koraci nevoljnih.”
It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
7 Put je pravednikov prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednom.
The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.
8 Da, na stazi tvojih sudova željno te, Jahve, čekamo; ime tvoje i spomen tvoj duša nam žudi.
We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
9 Dušom svojom žudim tebe noću i duhom svojim u sebi te tražim. Jer kad se na zemlji pojave tvoji sudovi, uče se pravdi stanovnici kruga zemaljskoga.
In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
10 Ako se pomiluje opaki, on se ne uči pravednosti. U zemlji pravednosti on čini bezakonje i ne obazire se na veličanstvo Jahvino.
Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
11 Jahve, ruka je tvoja podignuta, a oni je ne vide. Nek' vide i postide se, nek' ih proguta revnost za narod, nek' ih proždre oganj pripravljen dušmanima tvojim.
Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see ... yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.
12 Jahve, ti mir nama daješ, jer ti si tvorac svih djela naših.
Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.
13 Jahve, Bože naš, gospodarili su nama osim tebe drugi gospodari, ali tebe jedinog, ime tvoje, častimo.
O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
14 Mrtvi neće oživjeti, sjene neće uskrsnuti, jer ti si ih kaznio i uništio i zatro svaki spomen na njih!
The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.
15 Umnožio si narod, Jahve, umnožio si narod, proslavio se, proširio sve granice zemlje!
You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.
16 Jahve, tražili su te u nevolji; izlijevali tihu molitvu, kad ih je stigla tvoja kazna.
Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.
17 Kao što se trudna žena pred porođajem grči i viče u bolovima, takvi smo, Jahve, pred tobom.
As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.
18 Zatrudnjeli smo, u mukama smo kao da rađamo, nismo donijeli duha spasenja zemlji nit' se rodiše stanovnici svijeta.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
19 Tvoji će mrtvi oživjeti, uskrsnut će tijela. Probudite se i kličite, stanovnici praha! Jer rosa je tvoja - rosa svjetlosti, i zemlja će sjene na svijet dati.
Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
20 Hajde, narode moj, uđi u sobe i vrata za sobom zatvori. Sakrij se časkom dok jarost ne prođe.
Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
21 Jer, gle, izići će Jahve iz svog prebivališta da stanovnike zemljine kazni što se o njeg' ogriješiše. Izbacit će zemlja svu krv što je na njoj prolivena i neće više kriti onih koji su na njoj poklani.
For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
