Izaija 30
1 Teško sinovima odmetničkim! - riječ je Jahvina. Oni provode osnove koje nisu moje, sklapaju saveze koji nisu po mom duhu i grijeh na grijeh gomilaju.
Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation but not from my spirit, —That they may add sin to sin:
2 Zaputiše se u Egipat, ne pitajući usta moja, da se uteku faraonovu zaklonu i da se zaštite u sjeni Egipta.
Who are setting out to go down to Egypt, But at my mouth, have not asked, —Betaking them to the protection of Pharaoh And seeking refuge under the shadow of Egypt.
3 Zaklon faraonov bit će na sramotu, i na ruglo zaštita u sjeni Egipta.
Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh become to you a shame, And, the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, an insult;
4 Eno mu knezova već u Soanu, podanici stigoše u Hanes:
For their princes have been, in Zoan, —And, their messengers unto Hanes, would draw near.
5 svi će se oni razočarati u narodu beskorisnom, neće im biti na pomoć ni na korist, već na sramotu i porugu.
Every one, hath felt ashamed of a people that could not serve them, —Neither with help, nor with service, But they are a shame, yea even a reproach.
6 Proroštvo o negepskim životinjama. Kroza zemlju nevolje i bijede, lavice i lava koji riču, ljutice i zmaja krilatog, nose oni blago na leđima magaraca i bogatstvo na grbi deva, nose ga narodu beskorisnom.
The Oracle on the Beasts of the South, —Through a land of distress and oppression—Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses their wealth And on the humps of camels their treasures Unto a people that cannot serve them.
7 Jer prazna je i ništavna pomoć Egipta, zato ga i zovemo: Rahab - danguba.
But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help, —Therefore have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent, they sit still!
8 Ded napiši na ploču i zapiši u knjigu da vremenima budućim svjedočanstvo ostane.
Now, enter—Write it upon a tablet before them And upon a scroll, inscribe it, —That it may serve for a later day, For futurity, unto times age-abiding: —
9 Ovo je narod odmetnički, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neće da slušaju Zakon Jahvin.
That it is, a rebellious people, Sons apt at deceiving, —Sons unwilling to hear the law of Yahweh:
10 Vidovitima oni govore: “Okanite se viđenja!” a vidiocima: “Ne prorokujte istinu! Govorite nam što je ugodno, opsjene nam prorokujte!
Who have said to the seers, Ye must not see! To the prophets, Ye must not prophesy to us reproofs! Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy delusions:
11 Skrenite s puta, zastranite sa staze, uklonite nam s očiju Sveca Izraelova!”
Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path, —Desist from setting before us the Holy One of Israel.
12 Stog' ovako zbori Svetac Izraelov: “Jer riječ ovu odbacujete, a uzdate se u opačinu i prijevaru i na njih se oslanjate,
Therefore—Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word, —And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,
13 grijeh će vam taj biti poput pukotine, visoko na zidu izbočene, koja prijeti rušenjem.
Therefore, shall this iniquity become to you As a breach ready to fall, A bulging in a high wall, —Whose breaking down cometh, suddenly in a twinkling.
14 Da se sruši k'o što se glinen sud razbije, slupan nemilice, te mu se među krhotinama ne nađe ni rbine, žerave da uzmeš s ognjišta il' zagrabiš vode iz studenca.”
Yea he will break it—as the breaking of the pitcher of a potter, crushed, he will not spare; So that there shall not be found when it is smashed, A sherd wherewith to snatch fire from a hearth, Or to skim off water out of a cistern.
15 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod, Svetac Izraelov: “Mir i obraćenje - spas vam je, u smirenu uzdanju snaga je vaša. Ali vi ne htjedoste.
For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel—By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, —Howbeit ye would not!
16 Rekoste: 'Ne! Pobjeći ćemo na konjima!' - i zato, bježat ćete! 'Na brzim ćemo konjima jahati!' - i zato, bit će brži vaši neprijatelji!”
But ye said, —Nay! but on horses, will we flee For this cause, shall ye indeed flee, —And on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:
17 Pobjeći će vas tisuća kad jedan zaprijeti, zaprijete li petorica, u bijeg ćete nagnut' dok vas ne preostane k'o kopljača na vrhu gore il' na brijegu zastava.
One thousand, before the war-cry of one—before the war-cry of five, shall ye flee, —Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as an ensign upon a hill.
18 Al' Jahve čeka čas da vam se smiluje, i stog izglÄedÄa da vam milost iskaže, jer Jahve je Bog pravedan - blago svima koji njega čekaju.
And, therefore, will Yahweh wait, That he may grant you favour, And, therefore, will he lift himself up, That he may show you compassion, —For A God of justice, is, Yahweh, How happy all they who are waiting for him
19 Da, puče sionski koji živiš u Jeruzalemu, više ne plači! Čim začuje vapaj tvoj, odmah će ti se smilovati; čim te čuje, uslišit će te.
For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem, —As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry, —As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!
20 Hranit će vas Gospod kruhom tjeskobe, pojiti vodom nevolje, al' se više neće kriti tvoj Učitelj - oči će ti gledati Učitelja tvoga.
Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.
21 I uši će tvoje čuti riječ gdje iza tebe govori: “To je put, njime idite”, bilo da vam je krenuti nadesno ili nalijevo.
So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying, —This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn to the left.
22 Smatrat ćeš nečistima svoje srebrne kumire i pozlatu svojih kipova; odbacit ćeš ih kao nečist i reći im: “Napolje!”
Then will ye defile—The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image, of gold, —Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,
23 A on će dati kišu tvojem sjemenu što ga posiješ u zemlju, i kruh kojim zemlja urodi bit će obilat i hranjiv. Stoka će tvoja pasti u onaj dan po prostranim pašnjacima.
Then will he give—Rain for thy seed—wherewith thou shalt sow thy ground and Bread as the increase of thy ground, which shall be fertile and fat, —Thy cattle, in that day, shall feed in broad pasture:
24 Volovi i magarci što obrađuju zemlju jest će osoljenu krmu, ovijanu lopatom i vijačom.
And the oxen and the young asses that till the ground, salted provender, shall eat, which hath been winnowed with shovel or fan.
25 I na svakoj gori i na svakome povišenom brijegu bit će potoka i rječica - u dan silnoga pokolja kad se kule budu rušile.
Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain and On every lifted hill, Channels, Conduits of water, —In the great day of slaughter, When the towers fall.
26 Tada će svjetlost mjesečeva biti kao svjetlost sunčana, a svjetlost će sunčana postati sedam puta jača, kao svjetlost sedam dana - u dan kad Jahve iscijeli prijelom svojemu narodu, izliječi rane svojih udaraca.
Then shall the light of the moon, be as the light of the sun, And, the light of the sun, shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, —In the day—When Yahweh, bindeth up, the laceration of his people, and When the severe wound caused by smiting them, he healeth.
27 Gle, ime Jahve izdaleka dolazi, gnjev njegov gori, dim je neizdrživ. Usne su mu pune jarosti, jezik mu oganj što proždire.
Lo! the Name of Yahweh, coming in from afar, His anger kindling, A heavy storm, —His lips, are full of indignation, And, his tongue, is like a fire that devoureth;
28 Dah mu je kao potok nabujali što do grla seže. On dolazi da prosije narode rešetom zatornim, da stavi uzde zavodljive u čeljusti naroda.
And, his breath like an overflowing torrent, even unto the neck, doth reach, To sift nations with a sieve of calamity, —A bridle leading to ruin, being upon the jaws of the peoples.
29 Tad će vam pjesma biti kao u noćima blagdanskim, kad su srca vesela kao u onoga koji uza zvuke frule hodočasti na Goru Jahvinu, k Stijeni Izraelovoj.
A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival, —And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter Into the mountain of Yahweh Unto the Rock of Israel.
30 Jahve će zagrmjet glasom veličajnim i pokazat ruku svoju što udara u jarosnu gnjevu, sred ognja zatornog, iz olujna pljuska i krupÄe kamene.
Then will Yahweh cause to be heard—the resounding of his voice And the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire, —A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!
31 Od glasa Jahvina prepast će se Asur, šibom ošinut.
For at the voice of Yahweh, shall Assyria be crushed, —With his rod, will he smite.
32 I kad god ga udari šiba kaznena, kojom će ga Jahve išibati, nek' se oglase bubnjevi i citare - u sav jek boja on s njima ratuje!
And it shall come to pass, —that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, —when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.
33 Odavna je pripravljen Tofet za Moleka - lomača visoka, široka, mnogo ognja, mnogo drvlja. Dah gnjeva Jahvina, kao potok sumporni, njega će spaliti.
For there hath been set in order, beforehand a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared He hath made it deep—made it large, —The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, the breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.
