< Izaija 34 >
1 Pristupite, puci, da čujete, pomno slušajte, narodi; čuj, zemljo, i sve što te ispunja, kruže zemaljski i sve što raste po tebi!
Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.
2 Jer razgnjevi se Jahve na sve narode, razjari se na svu vojsku njihovu. Izruči ih uništenju, pokolju ih predade.
For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.
3 Leže njihovi pobijeni, smrad se diže od trupla mnogih, krv gorama proteče,
Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.
4 raspade se sva vojska nebeska. Nebesa se sviše kao knjiga i pada sva njihova vojska k'o što lozov list otpada, k'o što se trusi lišće smokovo.
And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.
5 Jer na nebu je opijeni mač moj: gle, na Edom on se obara da kazni narod što ga prokleh.
For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.
6 Mač Jahvin krvlju je opijen, omašćen pretilinom, krvlju janjećom i jarećom, pretilinom bubrega ovnujskih. Jer Jahvi se u Bosri žrtva prinosi, veliko klanje u zemlji edomskoj.
The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.
7 S njima će biti poklani bivoli i junad s bikovima. Zemlja će se njihovom napojiti krvlju, i prašina njihova omastit' pretilinom,
And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.
8 jer Jahvi je ovo dan odmazde, godina naplate da Sion osveti.
For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.
9 Potoci se njegovi obrću u smolu, prašina njegova u sumpor, i zemlja će mu postat smola goreća.
And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.
10 Ni noću ni danju ugasit' se neće, dim će joj se dizati dovijeka, iz koljena u koljeno pusta će ostati, za vjekove vjekova nitko neće prolaziti njome.
It will not be put out day or night; its smoke will go up for ever: it will be waste from generation to generation; no one will go through it for ever.
11 Zaposjest će je jež i čaplja, sova i gavran prebivat će u njoj. Rastegnut će nad njom uže pustoši i visak praznine.
But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.
12 Ondje će se nastaniti jarci, neće biti više plemića njezinih, ondje se više neće proglašavat' kraljevi, svi će joj knezovi biti uništeni.
The jackals will be there, and her great ones will be gone; they will say, There is no longer a kingdom there, and all her chiefs will have come to an end.
13 Nići će trnje u njenim dvorcima, u tvrđavama kopriva i stričak, ona će biti jazbina čagljima, ležaj nojevima.
And thorns will come up in her fair houses, and waste plants in her strong towers: and foxes will make their holes there, and it will be a meeting-place for ostriches.
14 Ondje će se sretat divlje mačke s hijenama, jarci će dozivati jedan drugoga; ondje će se odmarati Lilit našav počivalište.
And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.
15 Ondje će se gnijezditi guja, odlagati jaja, ležat' na njima, u sjeni ih tvojoj izleći; onamo će slijetati jastrebovi jedan za drugim.
The arrowsnake will make her hole and put her eggs there, and get her young together under her shade: there the hawks will come together by twos.
16 Istražujte u knjizi Jahvinoj i čitajte, nijedno od tog ne izosta, jer usta njegova tako narediše i duh njegov njih sakupi.
See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.
17 Jer on im je ždrijeb bacio i ruka im njegova užetom zemlju odmjeri: dovijeka će je oni posjedovati, od koljena do koljena nju će obitavati.
And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.
