Izaija 29
1 Teško Arielu! Arielu, gradu što ga opkoli David! Nek' se niže godina na godinu, nek' se izredaju blagdani,
Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year. Let the feasts come round.
2 pa ću pritisnuti Ariel i nastat će jauk i lelek. Za mene ćeš biti Ariel,
Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation, and she shall be to me as Ariel.
3 opkolit ću te kao David, rovovima okružiti, suprot tebi nasipe ću dići.
And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops. And I will raise siege works against thee.
4 Oboren govorit ćeš sa zemlje, iz praha mucat' riječju prigušenom, glas će ti se iz zemlje dizat' kao pokojnikov, iz praha ćeš šaptati besjedu.
And thou shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of he who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground. And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Kao sitna prašina bit će mnoštvo tvojih dušmana, kao pljeva razvijana - rulja silnika: i odjednom, u tren oka:
But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passes away. Yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.
6 pohodit će te Jahve nad Vojskama grmljavinom, tutnjem, bukom velikom, vihorom, olujom i plamenim ognjem što proždire.
She shall be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7 Bit će k'o san, utvara noćna: mnoštvo svih naroda što vojuje s Arielom i svih onih koji zavojštiše na nj i na utvrde njegove i koji ga odasvud pritijesniše.
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.
8 Bit će kao kad gladan sanja da jede, a probudi se prazna želuca; i kao kad žedan sanja da pije, pa se, iznemogao, suha grla probudi. Tako će se dogoditi mnoštvu naroda koji vojuju protiv Gore sionske.
And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats. But he awakes, and his soul is empty. Or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks. But he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite. So shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against mount Zion.
9 Stanite, skamenite se od čuda, oslijepite i obnevidite! Pijani su, ali ne od vina, posrću, ali ne od silna pića.
Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind. They are drunken, but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Jahve je izlio na vas duh obamrlosti, zatvorio je oči vaše - proroke, zastro glave vaše - vidioce.
For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes. The prophets, and your heads, the seers, he has covered.
11 Zato će vam svako viđenje biti kao riječi u zapečaćenoj knjizi: dade li se kome tko zna čitati govoreći: “De, čitaj to!” - on će odgovoriti: “Ne mogu jer je zapečaćena.”
And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to a man who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 A dade li se kome tko ne zna čitati govoreći: “Čitaj to!” - on će odvratiti: “Ne znam čitati.”
And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I am not learned.
13 Jahve reče: “Jer mi narod ovaj samo ustima pristupa i samo me usnama časti, a srce mu je daleko od mene i njegovo štovanje naučena ljudska uredba,
And the Lord said, Inasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, but in vain they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
14 zato ću, evo, i dalje čudno postupati s ovim narodom - čudno i prečudno: i propast će mudrost njegovih mudraca, pomračit se umnost njegovih umnika.”
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.
15 Teško onima koji se od Jahve kriju da bi svoje sakrili namjere i koji u mraku djeluju i zbore: “Tko nas vidi i tko nas pozna?”
Woe to those who hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and, Who knows us?
16 Kolike li naopakosti vaše! Cijeni li se glina kao lončar, pa da djelo rekne svome tvorcu: “NIje me on načinio”? Ili lonac da rekne lončaru: “On ne razumije ništa”?
Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay, that the thing made should say of him who made it, He did not make me, or the thing formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
17 Neće li se naskoro Libanon u voćnjak pretvoriti, a voćnjak izroditi u šumu?
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 I čut će u onaj dan gluhi riječi knjige; oslobođene mraka i tmine, oči će slijepih vidjeti.
And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 A siromasi će se opet radovati u Jahvi, najbjedniji će klicat' Svecu Izraelovu,
The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 jer neće više biti silnika, nestat će podsmjevača, istrijebit će se svi koji zlo snuju:
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases. And all those who watch for iniquity are cut off,
21 oni koji riječju druge okrivljuju, oni koji na vratima sucu postavljaju zamku i nizašto obaraju pravednika.
who make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.
22 Zato ovako govori Jahve, Bog kuće Jakovljeve, koji otkupi Abrahama: “Neće se odsad više stidjeti Jakov i više mu neće lice blijedjeti,
Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.
23 jer kad vidi usred sebe djelo mojih ruku, svetit će ime moje.” Svetit će Sveca Jakovljeva, bojat će se Boga Izraelova.
But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name. Yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Zabludjeli duhom urazumit će se, a oni što mrmljaju primit će pouku.
They also who err in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmur shall receive instruction.
