Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,
Gle, Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, oduzima Jeruzalemu i Judeji svaku potporu, pomoć u kruhu i pomoć u vodi,
2 the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder,
junaka i ratnika, suca i proroka, vrača i starješinu, pedesetnika i odličnika,
3 the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the expert craftsman, and the skilful enchanter.
savjetnika i mudra gatara i onoga što se bavi čaranjem.
4 And I will give sons to be their rulers, and babes shall rule over them.
“A za glavare postavljam im djecu, dajem deranima da njima vladaju.”
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor. The child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
Ljudi se glože jedan s drugim i svaki s bližnjim svojim; dijete nasrće na starca, prostak na odličnika
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, Thou have clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand,
te svatko brata hvata u očinskoj kući: “Ti imaš plašt, budi nam glavarom, uzmi u ruke ovo rasulo!”
7 in that day he shall lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer, for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. Ye shall not make me ruler of the people.
A on će se, u dan onaj, braniti: “Neću da budem vidar, nema u mene ni kruha ni plašta: ne stavljajte me narodu za glavara.”
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Jeruzalem se ruši i pada Judeja, jer im se jezik i djela Jahvi protive te prkose pogledu Slave njegove.
9 The show of their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have done evil to themselves.
Lice njihovo protiv njih svjedoči, razmeću se grijehom poput Sodome i ne kriju ga, jao njima, sami sebi propast spremaju.
10 Say ye of the righteous, that it is well, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Kažite: “Blago pravedniku, hranit će se plodom djela svojih!
11 Woe to the wicked! It is ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
Jao opakome, zlo će mu biti, na nj će pasti djela ruku njegovih.”
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, those who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Deran tlači narod moj i žene njime vladaju. O narode moj, vladaoci te tvoji zavode i raskapaju put kojim hodiš.
13 Jehovah stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
Ustade Jahve da se popravda s narodom svojim,
14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the rulers of it. It is ye who have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of a poor man is in your houses.
Jahve dolazi na sud sa starješinama i glavarima svog naroda: “Vinograd ste moj opustošili, u vašim je kućama što oteste siromahu.
15 What do ye mean that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
S kojim pravom narod moj tlačite i gazite lice siromaha?” - riječ je Jahve, Gospoda nad Vojskama.
16 Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet,
I reče Jahve: “Što se to ohole kćeri sionske te ispružena vrata hode, okolo okom namiguju, koracima sitnim koracaju, grivnama na nozi zveckaju?
17 therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
Oćelavit će Gospod tjeme kćeri sionskih, obnažit će Jahve golotinju njihovu.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the hair nets, and the crescents,
U onaj će dan Gospod strgnuti sve čime se ona ponosi: ukosnice i mjesečiće,
19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
naušnice, narukvice i koprene,
20 the bonnets, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets,
poveze, lančiće, pojaseve, bočice s miomirisima i privjese,
21 the rings, and the nose-jewels,
prstenje i nosne prstenove,
22 the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels,
skupocjene haljine i plašteve, prijevjese i torbice,
23 the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.
zrcala i košuljice, povezače i rupce.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness, and instead of a girdle, a rope, and instead of well set hair, baldness, and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth, branding instead of beauty.
Mjesto miomirisa, smrad; mjesto pojasa, konopac; mjesto kovrča, tjeme obrijano; mjesto gizdave halje, kostrijet; mjesto ljepote, žig.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Muževi tvoji od mača će pasti, junaci tvoji u kreševu.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.
Vrata će tvoja kukat' i tugovati, na zemlji ćeš sjedit' napuštena.
