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, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city. He appoints salvation for walls and ramparts.
2 Otvorite vrata! Nek' uđe narod pravedni koji čuva vjernost,
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3 čiji je značaj čvrst, koji čuva mir jer se u te uzda.
You will keep him in peace, in peace whose thoughts are fixed on you, because he trusts in you.
4 Uzdajte se u Jahvu dovijeka, jer Jahve je Stijena vječna;
Trust in the LORD forever; for in YAH, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
5 on obara one koji obitavahu visoko, razvaljuje tvrđu visoku, ruši u prah, sravnjuje sa zemljom,
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low to the ground. He casts it to the dust.
6 te je gaze noge, noge ubogih i koraci nevoljnih.”
The feet of the poor tramples it down, the footsteps of the needy."
7 Put je pravednikov prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednom.
The way of the righteous is level. O Just One, you make the path of the righteous smooth.
8 Da, na stazi tvojih sudova željno te, Jahve, čekamo; ime tvoje i spomen tvoj duša nam žudi.
Yes, in the path of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
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 you in the night. Yes, my spirit within me will seek you early, for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world 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 favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's majesty.
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, yet they do not see; they see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12 Jahve, ti mir nama daješ, jer ti si tvorac svih djela naših.
LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
13 Jahve, Bože naš, gospodarili su nama osim tebe drugi gospodari, ali tebe jedinog, ime tvoje, častimo.
LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 Mrtvi neće oživjeti, sjene neće uskrsnuti, jer ti si ih kaznio i uništio i zatro svaki spomen na njih!
The dead shall not live, and the departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15 Umnožio si narod, Jahve, umnožio si narod, proslavio se, proširio sve granice zemlje!
You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are glorified. You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 Jahve, tražili su te u nevolji; izlijevali tihu molitvu, kad ih je stigla tvoja kazna.
LORD, in trouble they sought you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on 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, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, 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 gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked 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.
Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth shall bring forth the departed spirits.
20 Hajde, narode moj, uđi u sobe i vrata za sobom zatvori. Sakrij se časkom dok jarost ne prođe.
Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
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, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
