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.
In the time of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up against Jerusalem to besiege it; but he 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 when it was told the house of David, that the Syrians had encamped in Ephraim, his heart was moved, and the hearts 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 Jehovah to Isaiah, Go forth to meet Ahaz, thou and Shear-Jashub thy son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the way to the fuller's 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 to him: Take heed, and be quiet! Fear not, neither let thy heart he faint On account of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, On account of the fierce wrath of Rezin with the Syrians, and of the son of Remaliah,
5 jer Aram, Efrajim i sin Remalijin smisliše tvoju propast.'
Because Syria deviseth evil against thee, Ephraim 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 besiege the city, And take it, And set a king in the midst of it, Even the son of Tabeal.”
7 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'To se neće zbiti: toga biti neće!
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: “It shall not stand, neither shall it be;
8 [8a] Damask je glava Aramcima, a Damasku je glava Rason;
But the head of Syria shall still be Damascus, And the head of Damascus, Rezin; [[And within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that he be no more 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 shall still be Samaria, And the head of Samaria, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, neither shall ye thrive.”
10 Jahve opet progovori Ahazu i reče mu:
Jehovah spake also again to Ahaz:
11 “Zaišti od Jahve, Boga svoga, jedan znak za sebe iz dubine Podzemlja ili gore iz visina.” (Sheol h7585)
“Ask thee a sign of Jehovah, thy God; Ask it from below, or in the height above!” (Sheol h7585)
12 Ali Ahaz odgovori: “Ne, neću iskati i neću iskušavati Jahvu.”
And Ahaz said, I will not ask; I will not tempt Jehovah!
13 Tada reče Izaija: “Čujte, dome Davidov. Zar vam je malo dodijavati ljudima, pa i Bogu mom dodijavate!
Then he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too small a thing for you to weary men, That ye should 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 shall Jehovah himself give you a sign: Behold, the damsel shall conceive, and bear a son, And she shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Vrhnjem i medom on će se hraniti dok ne nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro.
Milk and honey shall he eat, Until he learn 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.
For before this child shall have learned to refuse the evil and choose the good, The land shall become desolate, On account of whose two kings thou art in terror.
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.
Yet Jehovah shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, Days such as have not been Since Ephraim revolted 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 Jehovah shall whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, And 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 light all of them In the desolate valleys, and fissures of the rocks, And upon all hedges, and upon all pastures.
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 Jehovah shave, with a razor hired beyond the river, [[with the king of Assyria, ]] The head, and the hair of the feet; Yea, even the beard shall he take away.
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 keep 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 for the abundance of milk which they produce, shall he eat cheese; For milk and honey shall all eat Who are left in 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 stood a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, Shall be covered with briers and thorns.
24 Onamo će polaziti sa strijelom i lukom, jer sva će zemlja u drač i trnje zarasti.
With arrows and with bows shall men go thither; For 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.”
All the hills that were digged with the mattock Shall no one approach through fear of briers and thorns; They shall be for the pasturage of oxen, And the trampling of sheep.
