Izaija 65
1 Potražiše me koji ne pitahu za me, nađoše me koji me ne tražahu; rekoh: “Evo me! Evo me!” narodu koji ne prizivaše ime moje.
“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
2 Svagda sam pružao ruku narodu odmetničkom, koji hodi putem zlim, za mislima svojim,
All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,
3 narodu koji me bez prestanka u lice srdi: žrtvuju po vrtovima, kad prinose na opekama,
to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,
4 na grobovima stanuju i noće na skrovitim mjestima, jedu svinjetinu, meću u zdjele jela nečista.
sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.
5 I još govore: “Ukloni se! Ne prilazi mi da te ne posvetim.” Oni su mi dim u nosu, oganj što gori povazdan.
They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
6 Evo, sve je napisano preda mnom: neću ušutjet' dok im ne platim, dok im ne platim u njedra,
Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,
7 za bezakonja vaša i vaših otaca, sva zajedno - govori Jahve. Koji su prinosili kad na gorama i pogrđivali me na brežuljcima - izmjerit ću im u krilo plaću za djela prijašnja.
both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”
8 Ovako govori Jahve: “Kao što o soku u grozdu vele: 'Ne uništavajte ga, u njemu je blagoslov!' tako ću učiniti i ja radi slugu svojih, neću sve uništiti.
This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.
9 Izvest ću iz Jakova potomstvo, a iz Jude baštinika gora svojih; baštinit će ih odabranici moji, i moje će se sluge ondje naseliti.
And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.
10 Šaron će postati pašnjak ovcama, a nizina akorska počivalište govedima - narodu mojem koji mene traži.
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.
11 A vi koji ste Jahvu ostavili, koji ste zaboravili Svetu goru moju, koji pripremate stol Gadu, koji Meniju naljev lijevate,
But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 za mač sam vas odredio - past ćete ničice da vas kolju. Jer zvao sam vas, a vi se niste odazvali, govorio sam, a vi niste slušali, nego ste činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabirali ste što mi nije po volji.”
I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
13 Stog ovako Jahve Gospod govori: “Evo, sluge će moje jesti, a vi ćete gladovati. Evo, sluge će moje piti, a vi ćete žeđati. Evo, sluge će se moje veseliti, a vi ćete se stidjeti.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
14 Evo, sluge će se moje radovati od sreće u srcu, a vi ćete vikati od boli u srcu i kukati duše slomljene!
My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.
15 Ime ćete svoje ostaviti za kletvu mojim izabranicima: 'Tako te ubio Jahve!' A sluge svoje on će zvati drugim imenom.
You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.
16 Tko se u zemlji bude blagoslivljao, nek' se blagoslivlje Bogom vjernim. I tko se u zemlji bude kleo, nek' se kune Bogom vjernim. Jer prijašnje će nevolje biti zaboravljene, od očiju mojih bit će sakrivene.
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.
17 Jer, evo, ja stvaram nova nebesa i novu zemlju. Prijašnje se više neće spominjati niti će vam na um dolaziti.
For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
18 Veselite se i dovijeka kličite zbog onoga što ja stvaram; jer, evo, od Jeruzalema stvaram klicanje, od naroda njegova radost.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.
19 I klicat ću nad Jeruzalemom, radovat' se nad svojim narodom. U njemu više neće čuti ni plača ni vapaja.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.
20 U njemu više neće biti novorođenčeta koje živi malo dana ni starca koji ne bi godina svojih navršio: najmlađi će umrijet' kao stogodišnjak, a tko ne doživi stotinu godina prokletim će se smatrati.
No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
21 Gradit će kuće i stanovat' u njima, saditi vinograde i uživati rod njihov.
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 Neće se više graditi da drugi stanuju ni saditi da drugi uživa: vijek naroda moga bit će k'o vijek drveta, izabranici moji dugo će uživati plodove ruku svojih.
No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
23 Neće se zalud mučiti i neće rađati za smrt preranu, jer će oni s potomcima svojim biti rod blagoslovljenika Jahvinih.
They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them.
24 Prije nego me zazovu, ja ću im se odazvat'; još će govoriti, a ja ću ih već uslišiti.
Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 Vuk i jagnje zajedno će pasti, lav će jesti slamu k'o govedo; al' će se zmija prahom hraniti. Nitko neće činiti zla ni štete na svoj Svetoj gori mojoj” - govori Jahve.
The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,”
