Izaija 66
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama! Kakvu kuću da mi sagradite i gdje da bude mjesto mog prebivališta?
Thus, saith Yahweh, The, heavens, are my throne, and The earth, is my footstool: Where then is the house which ye can build me? Or where is my place of rest?
2 TÓa sve je moja ruka načinila i sve je moje” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ali na koga svoj pogled svraćam? Na siromaha i čovjeka duha ponizna koji od moje riječi dršće.
For, all these things, hath mine own hand made, And all these things came into being, —Declareth Yahweh. But for this one, will I look around, For him who is humbled and smitten in spirit, And so careth anxiously for my word.
3 Ima ih koji kolju bika, ali i ljude ubijaju; žrtvuju ovcu, ali i psu vrat lome. Netko prinosi žrtvu, ali i krv svinjsku; prinose kad, ali časte i kipove. Kao što oni izabraše svoje putove i duši im se mile gnusobe njihove,
He that slaughtereth an ox, [is as one] who smiteth a man, He that sacrificeth a lamb, [is as one] who beheadeth a dog, he that causeth a meal-offering to ascend, offereth it with the blood of swine, He that maketh a memorial of frankincense, [is as one] who blesseth iniquity: They indeed, have chosen their own ways, And in their own abominations, their soul hath found delight;
4 tako ću i ja izabrati za njih nevolje nesmiljene, pustit ću na njih ono čega se plaše. Jer zvao sam, a nitko se ne odazva, govorio sam, a nitko ne posluša, nego su činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabrali ono što mi nije po volji.”
I, also, will choose the things that vex them. And the things they dread, will I bring upon them, Because—I called and there was none to answer, I spake, and they hearkened not, —But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, made choice.
5 Poslušajte riječ Jahvinu, vi koji od njegove riječi dršćete. “Govore braća vaša koja na vas mrze i odbacuju vas radi moga imena: 'Neka se proslavi Jahve, pa da radost vašu vidimo.' Ali oni će biti postiđeni.”
Hear the word of Yahweh, ye who care anxiously for his word: Said your brethren Who hated you. Who thrust you out for my Name’s sake, Yahweh be glorified! Therefore shall he appear to your rejoicing, But, they, shall turn pale.
6 Čuj! Buka iz grada, glas iz Hrama! Glas je to Jahve koji uzvraća svojim neprijateljima.
The sound of a tumult—out of the city, A sound, out of the temple, —The sound of Yahweh rendering recompense to his foes.
7 Prije neg' bolove oćutje, eto je rodila. Prije neg' trudove osjeti, porodi dječaka.
Before she travaileth, she hath brought forth, —Before her pains come to her, she hath given birth to a man-child!
8 Tko je takvo što čuo, tko je takvo što vidio? Može li se zemlja u jednom danu napučiti? Može li se narod odjednom roditi? A tek što je osjetila trudove, Sionka rodi sinove!
Who hath heard the like of this? Who hath seen the like of these things? Can a land, be made to bring forth in one day? Or a nation, be born, at one time? As soon as she travaileth, Zion hath also given birth to her children.
9 “Zar bih ja otvorio krilo materino a da ono ne rodi?” - govori Jahve. “Zar bih ja, koji dajem rađanje, zatvorio maternicu?” - kaže Bog tvoj.
Could, I, bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? saith Yahweh. Or, I, be causing to bring forth and then prevent? Saith thy God.
10 Veselite se s Jeruzalemom, kličite zbog njega svi koji ga ljubite! Radujte se, radujte s njime svi koji ste nad njim tugovali!
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and exult over her All ye who love her, —Joy with her right joyfully, All ye who used to mourn over her:
11 Nadojite se i nasitite na dojkama utjehe njegove da se nasišete i nasladite na grudima krepčine njegove.
That ye may draw to satisfaction out of the fountain of her consolations, —That ye may drain out and get exquisite delight from the abundance of her glory.
12 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, mir ću na njih kao rijeku svratiti i kao potok nabujali bogatstvo naroda. Dojenčad ću njegovu na rukama nositi i milovati na koljenima.
For, thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! extending unto her like a river, prosperity, And as a torrent o’erflowing, the glory of the nations. That ye may draw it forth—Upon the side, shall ye be carried, and Upon the knees, shall ye be caressed:
13 Kao što mati tješi sina, tako ću i ja vas utješiti - utješit ćete se u Jeruzalemu.”
As one whom, his mother, consoleth, So, will, I, console you, And in Jerusalem, shall ye be consoled.
14 Kad to vidite, srce će vam se radovati i procvast će vam kosti k'o mlada trava. Očitovat će se ruka Jahvina na njegovim slugama i gnjev nad neprijateljima njegovim.
As soon as ye have seen it, your heart, shall be joyful, And your bones, like green herbage, shall thrive, —So shall be known The hand of Yahweh with his servants, But indignation with his foes!
15 Jer, evo, dolazi Jahve s ognjem - bojna su mu kola poput vihora - da u jarosti gnjev svoj iskali i prijetnje svoje u ognju žarkome.
For lo! Yahweh, with fire, doth come, And like a storm-wind, [are] his chariots, —To render with fury, his anger, And his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Da, sudit će Jahve ognjem i mačem svakom smrtniku: pobijenih Jahvinih mnoštvo će biti.
For, by fire, will Yahweh enter into judgment, And by his sword, with all flesh, —And many shall be the slain of Yahweh.
17 Oni koji se posvećuju i čiste u vrtovima iza onog jednog u sredini, koji jedu svinjetinu, nečisto i miševe - svi će zajedno izginuti, riječ je Jahvina.
They who hallow themselves and purify themselves for the gardens, Behind a certain thing in the midst, Who eat the flesh of swine and the abomination, and the mouse, Together, shall be cut off—Declareth Yahweh.
18 Ja dobro poznajem njihova djela i namjere njihove. “Dolazim da saberem sve puke i jezike, i oni će doći i vidjeti moju Slavu!
Because, I, …for their works and their devices, doth it come! …Am about to gather together all nations and tongues, —So shall they come and see my glory.
19 Postavit ću im znak i poslat ću preživjele od njih k narodima u Taršiš, Put, Lud, Mošek, Roš, Tubal i Javan - k dalekim otocima koji nisu čuli glasa o meni ni vidjeli moje Slave - i oni će naviještati Slavu moju narodima.
Then will I set among them, a sign, And will send, of them such as have escaped unto the nations—Tarshish Pul and Lud that draw the bow, Tubal and Javan, —The Coastlands that are afar off, Who have not heard my fame Nor seen my glory, And they shall tell my glory throughout the nations.
20 I dovest će svu vašu braću između svih naroda kao prinos Jahvi - na konjima, na bojnim kolima, nosilima, na mazgama i jednogrbim devama - na Svetu goru svoju u Jeruzalemu” - govori Jahve - “kao što sinovi Izraelovi prinose prinos u čistim posudama u Domu Jahvinu.
Then shall they bring in all your brethren out of all the nations, As a present unto Yahweh, Upon horses and in chariots and in palanquins and on mules and on dromedaries Unto my holy mountain—Jerusalem, saith Yahweh, —Just as the sons of Israel, bring in their present in a pure vessel, into the house, of Yahweh.
21 I uzet ću sebi između njih svećenike, levite” - govori Jahve.
And of them also, will I take for priests—for Levites, saith Yahweh,
22 “Jer, kao što će nova nebesa i zemlja nova, koju ću stvoriti, trajati preda mnom” - riječ je Jahvina - “tako će vam ime i potomstvo trajati.
For, as the new heavens and the new earth, which I am about to make, are to remain before me, Declareth Yahweh, So, shall remain your seed and your name.
23 Od mlađaka do mlađaka, od subote do subote, dolazit će svi ljudi da se poklone pred licem mojim” - govori Jahve.
And it shall come to pass, that From one new moon to another, and From one sabbath to another, Shall all flesh, come in, to bow down before me, Saith Yahweh.
24 Izlazeći, gledat ću trupla ljudi koji se od mene odmetnuše: crv njihov neće umrijeti i njihov se oganj neće ugasiti - bit će na gadost svim ljudima.
Then shall they go forth and look upon the dead bodies of the men who had been trespassing against me—For, their worm, shall not die, And, their fire, shall not be quenched; So shall they become an abhorrence to all flesh.
