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 shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks.
2 Otvorite vrata! Nek' uđe narod pravedni koji čuva vjernost,
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
3 čiji je značaj čvrst, koji čuva mir jer se u te uzda.
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee: ] because he trusteth in thee.
4 Uzdajte se u Jahvu dovijeka, jer Jahve je Stijena vječna;
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength:
5 on obara one koji obitavahu visoko, razvaljuje tvrđu visoku, ruši u prah, sravnjuje sa zemljom,
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, [even] to the ground; he bringeth it [even] to the dust.
6 te je gaze noge, noge ubogih i koraci nevoljnih.”
The foot shall tread it down, [even] the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy.
7 Put je pravednikov prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednom.
The way of the just [is] uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
8 Da, na stazi tvojih sudova željno te, Jahve, čekamo; ime tvoje i spomen tvoj duša nam žudi.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul [is] to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
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.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Ako se pomiluje opaki, on se ne uči pravednosti. U zemlji pravednosti on čini bezakonje i ne obazire se na veličanstvo Jahvino.
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, [yet] will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty 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, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
12 Jahve, ti mir nama daješ, jer ti si tvorac svih djela naših.
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
13 Jahve, Bože naš, gospodarili su nama osim tebe drugi gospodari, ali tebe jedinog, ime tvoje, častimo.
O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had dominion over us: [but] by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 Mrtvi neće oživjeti, sjene neće uskrsnuti, jer ti si ih kaznio i uništio i zatro svaki spomen na njih!
[They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Umnožio si narod, Jahve, umnožio si narod, proslavio se, proširio sve granice zemlje!
Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.
16 Jahve, tražili su te u nevolji; izlijevali tihu molitvu, kad ih je stigla tvoja kazna.
LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening [was] upon them.
17 Kao što se trudna žena pred porođajem grči i viče u bolovima, takvi smo, Jahve, pred tobom.
Like as a woman with child, [that] draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, 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 as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
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.
Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Hajde, narode moj, uđi u sobe i vrata za sobom zatvori. Sakrij se časkom dok jarost ne prođe.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
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, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
