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 concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of 'Uzziyahu, Jotham, Achaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah.
2 Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: “Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.
Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord hath spoken: Children have I nourished and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.
3 Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.”
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.
Woe! sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken the Lord, they have incensed the Holy One of Israel, they are departed backward.
5 TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;
Why will ye be stricken yet more? [that] ye increase the revolt? every head is sick, and every heart is faint.
6 od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
7 Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.
Your country is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire; your soil—in your presence, strangers devour it, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.
And left is the daughter of Zion as a hut in a vineyard, as a lodge in a cucumber field, as a besieged city.
9 Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.
Unless the Lord of hosts had left unto us a remnant ever so small, like Sodom should we have been, unto Gomorrah should we have been compared.
10 Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!
Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom: give ear unto the law of our God, ye 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.
For what serveth me the multitude of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am sated with the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and the blood of bullocks, and of sheep, and of he-goats, I do not desire.
12 Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?
When ye come to appear in my presence—who hath required this at your hand, to tread down my courts?
13 Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.
Continue no more to bring an oblation of deceit; incense of abomination is it unto me: new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies—I cannot bear misdeed with festive gathering.
14 Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are become a burden unto me; I am weary to bear 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 ye spread forth your hands, I will withdraw my eyes from you; yea, when ye make ever so many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.”
Learn to do well; seek for justice, relieve the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for 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 reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins should be as scarlet, they shall become white as the snow; though they should be red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
19 Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.
If ye be willing and obey, the best of the land shall ye eat;
20 U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.” Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.
But if ye refuse and rebel, by the sword shall ye be devoured; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.
How is she become a harlot, the faithful town! she, that was full of justice; righteousness lodged therein; but now murderers.
22 Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is drugged 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.
Thy princes are rebels, and companions of thieves; every one loveth brides, and runneth after rewards; to the fatherless they will not do justice, and the cause of the widow doth not come unto them.
24 Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: “Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!
Therefore saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will take satisfaction on my adversaries, and be avenged on my enemies.
25 Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!
And I will turn my hand against thee, and purge away as with lye thy dross, and remove all thy tin:
26 Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.”
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; after that shalt thou be called, The city of righteousness, the town that is faithful.
27 Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.
Zion shall be redeemed through justice, and her converts through righteousness.
28 Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.
But destruction shall come over transgressors and sinners together, and those that forsake the Lord shall perish.
29 Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.
For people shall be ashamed because of the terebinths which ye had desired, and ye shall be put to the blush because of the gardens that ye had chosen.
30 Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.
For ye shall be as a terebinth the leaves of which wither, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
And the mighty oppressor shall become as tow, and his workman as a spark; and they shall both burn together, with none to quench.
