Izaija 28
1 Teško gizdavu vijencu pijanica Efrajimovih, uvelu cvijetu blistava mu nakita - onima što uvrh plodnog dola leže vinom opijeni!
Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
2 Evo, od Gospoda jaki i moćni, kao pljusak s tučom, kao vihor razorni, prolom oblaka i povodanj, i svom ih snagom na zemlju baca.
Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
3 Bit će izgažen nogama gizdav vijenac pijanica Efrajimovih
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
4 i uveo cvijet blistava mu nakita uvrh plodnih dolina; bit će kao rana smokva prije ljeta: čim je tko spazi, odmah je ubere.
The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
5 U onaj dan Jahve nad Vojskama postat će kruna slave i sjajan vijenac Ostatku svoga naroda -
In that day, the LORD of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
6 duh pravde onome koji sjedi na stolici sudačkoj i srčanost onome koji odbija napad na vrata.
and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgement, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 Oni posrću od vina, teturaju od žestoka pića: svećenici i proroci od žestoka pića posrću; omami ih vino; teturaju od žestoka pića, posrću u viđenjima, ljuljaju se sudeći.
They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgement.
8 Svi su stolovi puni gnusnih bljuvotina, nigdje čista mjesta nema!
For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
9 “Koga on to uči mudrosti, koga on upućuje u objavu? Zar djecu odviknutu od mlijeka odbijenu od prsiju?
Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
10 Sav la-sav, sav la-sav, kav la-kav, kav la-kav, zeer šam, zeer šam.”
For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
11 Da, mucavim usnama i na stranom jeziku govorit će se ovom narodu.
But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
12 On im reče: “Evo počinka, dajte umornom da otpočine! Evo odmora!” Ali ne htjedoše poslušati.
to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
13 Zato će im Jahve ovako govoriti: “Sav la-sav, sav la-sav, kav la-kav, kav la-kav, zeer šam, zeer šam”, da hodeći padnu nauznak, da se razbiju, zapletu i uhvate.
Therefore the LORD’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
14 Stoga čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi podsmjevači, vi što vladate narodom ovim koji je u Jeruzalemu.
Therefore hear the LORD’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
15 Vi velite: “Sklopismo savez sa smrću i s Podzemljem učinismo sporazum. Kad prođe bič razorni, ne, neće nas dohvatiti, jer od laži načinismo sebi sklonište i od obmane skrovište.” (Sheol h7585)
“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’” (Sheol h7585)
16 Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo, postavljam na Sion kamen odabrani, dragocjen kamen ugaoni, temeljac. Onaj koji u nj vjeruje neće propasti.
Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
17 I uzet ću pravo za mjeru, a pravdu za tezulju.” I tuča će vam zastrti sklonište od laži, a voda otplaviti skrovište;
I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 propast će savez vaš sa smrću, vaš sporazum s Podzemljem održat' se neće. Kada bič razorni prođe, satrt će vas; (Sheol h7585)
Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 kad god prođe, dohvatit će vas; prolazit će svako jutro, danju i noću. Samo će vas strah uputit u objavu.
As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
20 Prekratka će bit' postelja da se čovjek pruži, preuzak pokrivač da se umota.
For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 Da, kao na gori Perasimu, Jahve će ustati, kao u Dolini gibeonskoj, on će se razjariti, da izvrši djelo svoje, djelo čudnovato, da ispuni naum svoj, naum tajnoviti.
For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
22 Podsmijevanja se okanite, da vas jače okovi ne stegnu; jer čuh da je od Gospoda, Jahve nad Vojskama, zemlji ovoj dosuđeno uništenje.
Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, GOD of Armies, on the whole earth.
23 Poslušajte i čujte glas moj, prisluhnite pomno moju besjedu.
Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
24 Ore li orač svakog dana, brazdi, brana njivu svoju?
Does he who ploughs to sow plough continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
25 A kad joj poravna površinu, ne sije li grahor, ne sipa li kumin? Pšenicu gdje treba, proso i ječam, i napokon raž po rubovima?
When he has levelled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
26 Bog ga njegov upućuje, on ga uči djelu pravom.
For his God instructs him in right judgement and teaches him.
27 Ne mlati se grahor cijepom, nećeš točkom po kuminu, već se grahor štapom mlati, a kumin se prutom lupa.
For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
28 A da li se žito tare? Ne, nećeš ga dovijeka mlatiti: po njem ćeš pognat kolski točak i konje, ali ga zdrobiti nećeš.
Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.
29 I to dolazi od Jahve nad Vojskama, savjetom divnog, mudrošću velikog.
This also comes out from the LORD of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
