< Izaija 7 >
1 U dane judejskoga kralja Ahaza, sina Jotamova, sina Uzijina, aramski kralj Rason i izraelski kralj Pekah, sin Remalijin, zavojštiše na Jeruzalem, ali ga ne mogoše zauzeti.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it; but could not prevail against it.
2 Tada dojaviše domu Davidovu: “Aramci se utaborili u Efrajimu.” Na tu vijest uzdrhta srce kraljevo i srce svega naroda, kao što u šumi drveće ustrepti od vjetra.
And it was told the house of David, saying: 'Aram is confederate with Ephraim.' And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.
3 I Jahve reče Izaiji: “Iziđi pred Ahaza, ti i sin tvoj Šear Jašub, do nakraj vodovoda gornjeg ribnjaka na putu u Valjarevo polje.
Then said the LORD unto Isaiah: 'Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fullers' field;
4 Reci mu: 'Pazi, smiri se, ne boj se, i nek' ti ne premire srce od ovih dvaju ugaraka zadimljenih, od raspaljenog bijesa Rasona aramskog i sina Remalijina,
and say unto him: Keep calm, and be quiet; fear not, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 jer Aram, Efrajim i sin Remalijin smisliše tvoju propast.'
Because Aram hath counselled evil against thee, Ephraim also, and the son of Remaliah, saying:
6 Pođimo, rekoše, na Judeju, uplašimo je i osvojimo da u njoj zakraljimo sina Tabelova.
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel;
7 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'To se neće zbiti: toga biti neće!
thus saith the Lord GOD: It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 [8a] Damask je glava Aramcima, a Damasku je glava Rason;
For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people;
9 Samarija je glava Efrajimcima, a Samariji glava je Remalija. [8b]Još šezdeset i pet godina, i Efrajim, razoren, neće više biti narod. [9b] Ako se na me ne oslonite, održat' se nećete!”
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not have faith, surely ye shall not be established.'
10 Jahve opet progovori Ahazu i reče mu:
And the LORD spoke again unto Ahaz, saying:
11 “Zaišti od Jahve, Boga svoga, jedan znak za sebe iz dubine Podzemlja ili gore iz visina.” (Sheol )
'Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God: ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.' (Sheol )
12 Ali Ahaz odgovori: “Ne, neću iskati i neću iskušavati Jahvu.”
But Ahaz said: 'I will not ask, neither will I try the LORD.'
13 Tada reče Izaija: “Čujte, dome Davidov. Zar vam je malo dodijavati ljudima, pa i Bogu mom dodijavate!
And he said: 'Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?
14 Zato, sam će vam Gospodin dati znak: Evo, začet će djevica i roditi sina i nadjenut će mu ime Emanuel!
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Vrhnjem i medom on će se hraniti dok ne nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro.
Curd and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 Jer prije nego dječak nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro, opustjet će zemlja, zbog koje strepiš, od dvaju kraljeva.
Yea, before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou hast a horror of shall be forsaken.
17 Protiv tebe i protiv tvog naroda i protiv kuće oca tvojega dovest će Jahve dane kakvih ne bijaše otkad se Efrajim odvoji od Jude - kralja asirskoga.
The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.'
18 U dan onaj zazviždat će Jahve muhama na ušću egipatskih rijeka i pčelama u zemlji asirskoj
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 da dođu i popadaju po strmim dolovima, po rasjelinama stijena, po svim trnjacima i svim pojilištima.
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the rugged valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all brambles.
20 U dan onaj Gospod će obrijati britvom najmljenom s onu stranu Eufrata - kraljem asirskim - kosu s glave, dlake s nogu i bradu s obraza.
In that day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also sweep away the beard.
21 U dan onaj svatko će hraniti po kravu i dvije ovce
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall rear a young cow, and two sheep;
22 i od obilja mlijeka koje će mu dati hranit će se vrhnjem; vrhnjem i medom hranit će se koji god u zemlji preostanu.
and it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give, he shall eat curd; for curd and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.
23 U dan onaj gdje god bijaše tisuću čokota, vrijednih tisuću srebrnika, izrast će drač i trnje.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, shall even be for briers and thorns.
24 Onamo će polaziti sa strijelom i lukom, jer sva će zemlja u drač i trnje zarasti.
With arrows and with bow shall one come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25 A po svim gorama gdje se motikom kopalo nitko više neće ići, strašeći se trnja i drača: onuda će goveda pasti i gaziti ovce.”
And all the hills that were digged with the mattock, thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
