Izaija 27
1 U onaj dan kaznit će Jahve mačem ljutim, velikim i jakim Levijatana, zmiju hitru, Levijatana, zmiju vijugavu, i ubit će zmaja morskoga.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 U onaj dan pjevajte mu, vinogradu vinorodnom:
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 Ja, Jahve, njega čuvam, svaki čas ga zalijevam, i da ga tko ne ošteti, danju i noću stražim.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Nema gnjeva u meni! Nek' se trnje i drač samo pojavi, protiv njega ustat ću u boj, svega ću ga sažgati!
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Ili u moje nek' dođe okrilje, neka sklopi mir sa mnom, mir neka sklopi sa mnom!
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Dolaze dani kad će se ukorijeniti Jakov, razgranit' se i procvasti Izrael, i sav svijet plodovima napuniti.
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Je li ga udario kako udari one koji njega udarahu? Je li ga ubio kako ubi one koji njega ubiše?
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 Za kaznu ga potjera, izagna, odnese ga silnim dahom svojim u dan istočnjaka.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Tako će se okajati bezakonje Jakovljevo; a ovo je sve plod oproštenja grijeha njegova. Neka se smrve svi kamenovi žrtvenika kao što se u prah drobi krečno kamenje! Nek' se više ne dižu ašere i sunčani stupovi!
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Jer opustje tvrdi grad, naselje je poharano, napušteno kao pustinja. Telad ondje pase - leži ondje, grmlje brsti.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Kad mu se osuše grane, lome ih, dolaze žene i oganj pale. Jer to je narod nerazuman, zato ga neće žaliti Stvoritelj, Tvorac mu se neće smilovati.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 Jahve će u dan onaj klasje vrijeći od Eufrata do Potoka egipatskog, i bit ćete pobrani jedan po jedan, djeco Izraelova.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 U onaj dan zatrubit će velika trublja, i doći će izgubljeni u zemlji asirskoj, i koji bijahu izgnani u zemlju egipatsku, i poklonit će se Jahvi na Svetoj gori, u Jeruzalemu.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
