Izaija 29
1 Teško Arielu! Arielu, gradu što ga opkoli David! Nek' se niže godina na godinu, nek' se izredaju blagdani,
Ah, 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 will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and moaning; and she shall be unto Me as a hearth of God.
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 a mound, 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 brought down thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of a ghost out of the ground, and thy speech shall chirp 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 passeth away; yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly —
6 pohodit će te Jahve nad Vojskama grmljavinom, tutnjem, bukom velikom, vihorom, olujom i plamenim ognjem što proždire.
There shall be a visitation from the LORD 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 war against Ariel, even all that war against her, and the bulwarks about her, and they 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 dreameth, and, behold, he eateth, but he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh, but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath 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.
Stupefy yourselves, and be stupid! Blind yourselves, and be blind! ye that are drunken, but not with wine, that stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Jahve je izlio na vas duh obamrlosti, zatvorio je oči vaše - proroke, zastro glave vaše - vidioce.
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets, and your heads, the seers, hath He 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 the vision of all this is become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying: 'Read this, I pray thee'; and he saith: '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 writing is delivered to him that is not learned, saying: 'Read this, I pray thee'; and he saith: '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: Forasmuch as this people draw near, and with their mouth and with their lips do honour Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear of Me is a commandment of men learned by rote;
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 again do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the prudence of their prudent men shall be hid.
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 unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say: 'Who seeth us? and who knoweth 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”?
O your perversity! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it: 'He made me not'; or the thing framed say of him that framed it: 'He hath 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 shall the deaf hear the words of a 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 humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the neediest among men shall exult 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 nought, and the scorner ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off;
21 oni koji riječju druge okrivljuju, oni koji na vratima sucu postavljaju zamku i nizašto obaraju pravednika.
That make a man an offender by words, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought.
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 saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale;
23 jer kad vidi usred sebe djelo mojih ruku, svetit će ime moje.” Svetit će Sveca Jakovljeva, bojat će se Boga Izraelova.
When he seeth his children, the work of My hands, in the midst of him, that they 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 that err in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmur shall learn instruction.
