Izaija 1
1 Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.
The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: “Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.
Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
3 Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.”
Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
4 Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.
O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
5 TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;
Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
6 od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.
The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
7 Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.
Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
8 Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.
And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
9 Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.
If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
10 Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!
Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11 “Što će mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?” - govori Jahve. - “Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.
What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12 Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?
At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
13 Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.
Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
14 Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!
Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
15 Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,
And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
16 operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!
Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
17 Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.”
Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
18 “Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo,” govori Jahve. “Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet će poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat će kao vuna.
Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
19 Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.
If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
20 U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.” Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.
But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
21 Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.
The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
22 Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.
Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.
Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: “Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!
For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
25 Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!
And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
26 Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.”
And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
27 Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.
Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
28 Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.
But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
29 Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.
For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
30 Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.
For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
31 Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
