Izaija 9
1 jer više neće biti mraka gdje je sad tjeskoba. U prvo vrijeme on obescijeni zemlju Zebulunovu i zemlju Naftalijevu, al' u vrijeme posljednje on će proslaviti Put uz more, s one strane Jordana - Galileju pogansku.
As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Narod koji je u tmini hodio svjetlost vidje veliku; one što mrklu zemlju obitavahu svjetlost jarka obasja.
The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.
3 Ti si radost umnožio, uvećao veselje, i oni se pred tobom raduju kao što se ljudi raduju žetvi, k'o što kliču kad se dijeli plijen.
Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
4 Teški jaram njegov, prečku što mu pleća pritiskaše, šibu njegova goniča slomi kao u dan midjanski.
Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.
5 Da, sva bojna obuća, svaki plašt krvlju natopljen izgorjet će i bit će ognju hrana.
For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning — fuel of fire.
6 Jer, dijete nam se rodilo, sina dobismo; na plećima mu je vlast. Ime mu je: Savjetnik divni, Bog silni, Otac vječni, Knez mironosni.
For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
7 Nadaleko vlast će mu se sterat' i miru neće biti kraja nad prijestoljem Davidovim, nad kraljevstvom njegovim: učvrstit će ga i utvrdit u pravu i pravednosti. Od sada i dovijeka učinit će to privržena ljubav Jahve nad Vojskama.
To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
8 Gospod posla riječ protiv Jakova i ona pade na Izraela.
A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
9 Sazna je sav narod njegov, Efrajim i stanovnici Samarije koji govorahu naduta i ohola srca:
And the people have known — all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
10 “Opeke nam popadaše, gradit ćemo od tesanika; sasjekoše nam divlje smokve, cedre ćemo posaditi.”
'Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'
11 Al' Jahve podiže na brdo Sion njegove protivnike i podbada neprijatelje njegove:
And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
12 Aram s istoka, Filistejce sa zapada, da svim ustima proždiru Izraela. Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
13 Ali se narod nije obratio onom koji ga je b§io, ne tražiše Jahvu nad Vojskama.
And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
14 Zato Jahve odsiječe Izraelu glavu i rep, palmu i rogoz u jednom danu.
And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed — the same day,
15 Starješina i odličnik - to je glava; prorok, učitelj laži - to je rep.
Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.
16 Oni što vode narod taj - zavode ga, a koji se vodit' daju - propali su.
And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
17 Stog' mu Gospod neće poštedjet' mladića, sirotama njegovim i udovicama smilovat' se neće. Sav je taj narod bezbožan i zao, na sva usta bezumno govori. Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
18 Da, bezbožnost se k'o oganj razmahala, drač i trnje proždire, pa upali šumsku guštaru, stupovi se dima podižu.
For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
19 Plamti zemlja od gnjeva Jahvina, narod ognju hrana postaje. Nitko ni brata svog ne štedi, [19b] svatko jede meso svog susjeda.
In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,
20 Proždire zdesna, i opet je gladan; guta slijeva, i opet sit nije:
And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.
21 Manaše Efrajima, Efrajim Manašea, obojica zajedno Judu. Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
Manasseh — Ephraim, and Ephraim — Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!
