Izaija 33
1 Teško tebi koji nepustošen pustošiš, koji pljačkaš nepljačkan, kad prestaneš, tebe će opustošiti, opljačkat' te kad prestaneš pljačkati.
Woe to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to destroy, thou shalt be destroyed; and when thou hast 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 unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou our arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Od silna tutnja pobjegoše narodi, ti ustade, raspršiše se puci
At the noise of the tumult the peoples are 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 gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it.
5 Uzvišen je Jahve jer u visini stoluje, on puni Sion pravom i pravednošću.
Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath 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 without; 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 ceaseth: [the enemy] hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
9 Gine zemlja u žalosti, u stidu vene Libanon. Šaron je kao stepa, Bašan i Karmel ogolješe.
The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth 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 will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I 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 that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that 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 hath seized the godless ones: 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 that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth 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 defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given [him]; 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 reacheth 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 that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Nećeš više vidjeti divljega naroda, naroda nerazumljiva i neshvatljiva govora, jezika strana što ga nitko ne razumije.
Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou canst not 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 whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof 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 there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall 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 was the prey of a great spoil 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 that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
