Izaija 33
1 Teško tebi koji nepustošen pustošiš, koji pljačkaš nepljačkan, kad prestaneš, tebe će opustošiti, opljačkat' te kad prestaneš pljačkati.
Woe to thee who destroys, and thou were not destroyed, and deal treacherously, and they did not deal treacherously with thee! When thou have ceased to destroy, thou shall be destroyed, and when thou have made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Jahve, smiluj nam se, u te se uzdamo! Budi mišica naša svako jutro, naš spas u doba nevolje.
O Jehovah, be gracious to us, we have waited for thee. Be thou our arm every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 Od silna tutnja pobjegoše narodi, ti ustade, raspršiše se puci
At the noise of the tumult the peoples have fled. At the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
4 i plijen se skuplja kao što se kupe šaške, na nj će navaliti kao jato skakavaca.
And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. As locusts leap, men shall leap upon it.
5 Uzvišen je Jahve jer u visini stoluje, on puni Sion pravom i pravednošću.
Jehovah is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Pouzdan je tvoj vijek: mudrost i znanje spasonosno su blago - a strah Gospodnji njegovo bogatstvo.
And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.
7 Gle, stanovništvo Arielovo kuka po ulicama, glasnici mironosni plaču gorko.
Behold, their valiant ones cry outside. The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Opustješe ceste, s putova nesta putnika; raskidaju se savezi, preziru se svjedoci, ni prema kome nema obzira.
The highways lie waste. The wayfaring man ceases. The enemy has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He does not regard man.
9 Gine zemlja u žalosti, u stidu vene Libanon. Šaron je kao stepa, Bašan i Karmel ogolješe.
The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 “Sada ću ustati”, veli Jahve, “sada ću se dići, sada uzvisiti.
Now I will arise, says Jehovah. Now I will lift up myself. Now I will be exalted.
11 Začeste sijeno, rodit ćete slamu; dah moj proždrijet će vas kao oganj.
Ye shall conceive chaff. Ye shall bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12 Narodi će biti sažgani u vapno, kao posječeno trnje što gori u vatri.
And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down that are burned in the fire.
13 Čujte, vi koji ste daleko, što sam učinio, a vi koji ste blizu poznajte mi snagu!”
Hear, ye who are far off, what I have done, and ye who are near, acknowledge my might.
14 Na Sionu strepe grešnici, trepet spopada bezbožnika: “Tko će od nas opstati pred ognjem zatornim, tko će od nas opstati pred žarom vječnim?”
The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the profane. Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 Onaj koji hodi u pravdi i pravo govori, koji prezire dobit od prinude, koji otresa ruku da ne primi mito, koji zatiskuje uši da ne čuje o krvoproliću, koji zatvara oči da ne vidi zlo:
He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly. He who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes away his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil.
16 on će prebivati u visinama, tvrđe na stijenama bit će mu utočište, imat će dosta kruha i vode će mu svagda dotjecati.
He shall dwell on high. His place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks. His bread shall be given. His waters shall be sure.
17 Oči će ti gledati kralja u njegovoj ljepoti, promatrat će zemlju nepreglednu.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty. They shall behold a land that reaches afar.
18 Srce će ti u strahu misliti: Gdje li je onaj što je brojio, gdje li onaj što je mjerio, gdje li onaj što je prebrajao mladiće?
Thy heart shall muse on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed the tribute? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 Nećeš više vidjeti divljega naroda, naroda nerazumljiva i neshvatljiva govora, jezika strana što ga nitko ne razumije.
Thou shall not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou cannot comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou cannot understand.
20 Pogledaj na Sion, grad blagdana naših: oči će ti Jeruzalem vidjeti, prebivalište zaštićeno, šator što se ne prenosi, kojem se kolčići nikad ne vade, nit' mu se ijedno uže otkida.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities. Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed. The stakes of which shall never be plucked up, nor shall any of the cords of it be broken.
21 Ondje nam je Jahve silni, umjesto rijeka i širokih rukavaca: neće onud proći nijedna lađa s veslima niti će koji bojni brod projedriti.
But Jehovah will be with us there in majesty. A place of broad rivers and streams, in which shall go no galley with oars, nor shall a gallant ship pass thereby.
22 Jer Jahve je sudac naš, Jahve naš vojvoda, Jahve je kralj naš - on će nas spasiti.
For Jehovah is our judge. Jehovah is our lawgiver. Jehovah is our king, he will save us.
23 Užad ti je popustila, ne može držati jarbola ni razviti stijega, pa se dijeli golemo blago oteto - kljasti će se naplijeniti plijena!
Thy tacklings are loosed. They could not strengthen the foot of their mast. They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 I nijedan građanin neće reći: “Bolestan sam!” Narodu što živi ondje krivnja će se oprostiti.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick. The people who dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
