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.
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not from me; and that cover with a covering, but not of 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.
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Zaklon faraonov bit će na sramotu, i na ruglo zaštita u sjeni Egipta.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Eno mu knezova već u Soanu, podanici stigoše u Hanes:
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 svi će se oni razočarati u narodu beskorisnom, neće im biti na pomoć ni na korist, već na sramotu i porugu.
They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also 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 burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from which come the young and the old lion, the viper and flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 Jer prazna je i ništavna pomoć Egipta, zato ga i zovemo: Rahab - danguba.
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8 Ded napiši na ploču i zapiši u knjigu da vremenima budućim svjedočanstvo ostane.
Now go, write it before them in a tablet, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 Ovo je narod odmetnički, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neće da slušaju Zakon Jahvin.
That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Vidovitima oni govore: “Okanite se viđenja!” a vidiocima: “Ne prorokujte istinu! Govorite nam što je ugodno, opsjene nam prorokujte!
Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Skrenite s puta, zastranite sa staze, uklonite nam s očiju Sveca Izraelova!”
Withdraw from the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
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 despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and relied on them:
13 grijeh će vam taj biti poput pukotine, visoko na zidu izbočene, koja prijeti rušenjem.
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
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.”
And he shall break it as the breaking of the potter’s vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a piece to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.
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 saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and 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, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
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 shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an 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 the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait 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 the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20 Hranit će vas Gospod kruhom tjeskobe, pojiti vodom nevolje, al' se više neće kriti tvoj Učitelj - oči će ti gledati Učitelja tvoga.
And though the Lord shall give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 I uši će tvoje čuti riječ gdje iza tebe govori: “To je put, njime idite”, bilo da vam je krenuti nadesno ili nalijevo.
And thy ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 Smatrat ćeš nečistima svoje srebrne kumire i pozlatu svojih kipova; odbacit ćeš ih kao nečist i reći im: “Napolje!”
Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a polluted cloth; thou shalt say to it, Be gone from me.
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 shall he give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24 Volovi i magarci što obrađuju zemlju jest će osoljenu krmu, ovijanu lopatom i vijačom.
The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that plow the ground shall eat cured fodder, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the 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.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great 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.
Moreover the light of the moon shall 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 that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Gle, ime Jahve izdaleka dolazi, gnjev njegov gori, dim je neizdrživ. Usne su mu pune jarosti, jezik mu oganj što proždire.
Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden of it is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
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, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
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.
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come upon the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One 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.
And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 Od glasa Jahvina prepast će se Asur, šibom ošinut.
For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, who smote with a rod.
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 in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33 Odavna je pripravljen Tofet za Moleka - lomača visoka, široka, mnogo ognja, mnogo drvlja. Dah gnjeva Jahvina, kao potok sumporni, njega će spaliti.
For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile of it is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
