Izaija 29
1 Teško Arielu! Arielu, gradu što ga opkoli David! Nek' se niže godina na godinu, nek' se izredaju blagdani,
Woe [to] Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go around.
2 pa ću pritisnuti Ariel i nastat će jauk i lelek. Za mene ćeš biti Ariel,
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it has been lamentation and mourning, And it has been to me as Ariel.
3 opkolit ću te kao David, rovovima okružiti, suprot tebi nasipe ću dići.
And I encamped, O babbler, against you, And I laid siege against you—a camp. And I raised up bulwarks against you.
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 you have been low, You speak from the earth, And make your saying low from the dust, And your voice has been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And your saying whispers from the dust,
5 Kao sitna prašina bit će mnoštvo tvojih dušmana, kao pljeva razvijana - rulja silnika: i odjednom, u tren oka:
And as small dust has been The multitude of those scattering you, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it has been in an instant—suddenly.
6 pohodit će te Jahve nad Vojskama grmljavinom, tutnjem, bukom velikom, vihorom, olujom i plamenim ognjem što proždire.
You are inspected by YHWH of Hosts, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, windstorm, and whirlwind, And flame of 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 as a dream, a vision of night, Has been the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.
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 has been, as when the hungry dreams, And behold, he is eating, And he has awoken, And his soul [is] empty, And as when the thirsty dreams, And behold, he is drinking, And he has awoken, And behold, he is weary, And his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Mount Zion.
9 Stanite, skamenite se od čuda, oslijepite i obnevidite! Pijani su, ali ne od vina, posrću, ali ne od silna pića.
Linger and wonder, look, indeed, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink.
10 Jahve je izlio na vas duh obamrlosti, zatvorio je oči vaše - proroke, zastro glave vaše - vidioce.
For YHWH has poured out a spirit of deep sleep on you, And He closes your eyes—the prophets, And your heads—the seers—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 the whole is to you, As words of the sealed scroll, That they give to one knowing scrolls, Saying, “Please read this,” And he has said, “I am not able, 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 scroll is given to him who has not known scrolls, Saying, “Please read this,” And he has said, “I have not known scrolls.”
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 says: “Because this people has drawn near with its mouth, And they have honored Me with its lips, And it has put its heart far off from Me, And their fear of Me is a precept taught by 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 am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And the wisdom of its wise ones has perished, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hides itself.”
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 going deep from YHWH to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, “Who is seeing us? And who is knowing 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”?
Your perversion! Is the potter esteemed as clay, That the work says of its maker, “He has not made me?” And the framed thing said of its framer, “He did not understand?”
17 Neće li se naskoro Libanon u voćnjak pretvoriti, a voćnjak izroditi u šumu?
Is it not yet a very little [while], And Lebanon has turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest?
18 I čut će u onaj dan gluhi riječi knjige; oslobođene mraka i tmine, oči će slijepih vidjeti.
And the deaf have heard the words of a scroll in that day, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind see.
19 A siromasi će se opet radovati u Jahvi, najbjedniji će klicat' Svecu Izraelovu,
And the humble have added joy in YHWH, And the poor among men 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 has ceased, And the scorner has been consumed, And all watching for iniquity have been cut off,
21 oni koji riječju druge okrivljuju, oni koji na vratima sucu postavljaju zamku i nizašto obaraju pravednika.
Who cause men to sin in word, And lay a snare for a reprover in the gate, And turn aside the righteous into emptiness.
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 said YHWH, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob is not ashamed now, Nor does his face now become pale,
23 jer kad vidi usred sebe djelo mojih ruku, svetit će ime moje.” Svetit će Sveca Jakovljeva, bojat će se Boga Izraelova.
For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My Name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And they declare the God of Israel fearful.
24 Zabludjeli duhom urazumit će se, a oni što mrmljaju primit će pouku.
And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!”
