Isaiah 10
1 Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,
Teško onima koji postavljaju zakone nepravedne i koji pišu nepravdu,
2 to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.
Da odbiju od suda uboge, i da otimaju pravicu siromasima naroda mojega, da bi im plijen bile udovice i sirote grabež.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
A što æete èiniti u dan pohoðenja i pogibli koja æe doæi izdaleka? kome æete pribjeæi za pomoæ? gdje li æete ostaviti slavu svoju?
4 Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Da se ne bi unizila meðu roblje i meðu pobijene pala? Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.
Teško Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, ako i jest palica u ruci njegovoj moja jarost.
6 I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoils and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.
Na narod licemjerni poslaæu ga, i zapovjediæu mu za narod na koji se gnjevim, da plijeni i otima, i da ga izgazi kao blato na ulicama.
7 But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.
Ali on neæe tako misliti i srce njegovo neæe tako suditi, nego mu je u srcu da zatre i istrijebi mnoge narode.
8 “Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.
Jer æe reæi: knezovi moji nijesu li svi carevi?
9 “Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
Nije li Halan kao Harhemis? nije li Emat kao Arfad? nije li Samarija kao Damasak?
10 As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Kako je ruka moja našla carstva lažnijeh bogova, kojih likovi bijahu jaèi od Jerusalimskih i Samarijskih,
11 and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
Neæu li uèiniti Jerusalimu i njegovijem lažnijem bogovima onako kako sam uèinio Samariji i njezinijem lažnijem bogovima?
12 So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.
Ali kad svrši Gospod sve djelo svoje na gori Sionskoj i u Jerusalimu, tada æu obiæi plod ohologa srca cara Asirskoga i slavu ponositijeh oèiju njegovijeh.
13 For he says: ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, for I am clever. I have removed the boundaries of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their rulers.
Jer reèe: krjepošæu ruke svoje uèinih i mudrošæu svojom, jer sam razuman; i premjestih meðe narodima i blago njihovo zaplijenih i kao junak oborih stanovnike.
14 My hand reached as into a nest to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. No wing fluttered, no beak opened or chirped.’”
I ruka moja naðe kao gnijezdo bogatstvo u naroda, i kako se kupe jajca ostavljena tako pokupih svu zemlju, i ne bi nikoga da makne krilom ili da otvori usta i pisne.
15 Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
Hoæe li se sjekira velièati nad onijem koji njom sijeèe? hoæe li se pila razmetati nad onijem koji njom radi? kao da bi prut mahao onijem koji ga digne, kao da bi se hvalio štap da nije od drveta.
16 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.
Zato æe Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, pustiti na pretile njegove mršu, i slavu æe njegovu potpaliti da gori kao oganj.
17 And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
Jer æe vidjelo Izrailjevo biti oganj, i svetac æe njegov biti plamen, i upaliæe i sažeæi trnje njegovo i èkalj njegov u jedan dan.
18 The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
I krasotu šume njegove i njive njegove, od duše do tijela, uništiæe, i biæe kao bjegunac kad iznemogne.
19 The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
I što ostane drveta šume njegove, biæe malo, da bi ih dijete moglo popisati.
20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
I u to vrijeme ostatak Izrailjev i koji se izbave u domu Jakovljevu neæe se više oslanjati na onoga ko ih bije, nego æe se oslanjati na Gospoda sveca Izrailjeva istinom.
21 A remnant will return —a remnant of Jacob— to the Mighty God.
Ostatak æe se obratiti, ostatak Jakovljev, k Bogu silnome.
22 Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
Jer ako bude naroda tvojega, Izrailju, kao pijeska morskoga, ostatak æe se njegov obratiti. Pogibao je odreðena, razliæe se pravda.
23 For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
Jer æe Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, izvršiti pogibao odreðenu u svoj zemlji.
24 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.
Zato ovako veli Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama: ne boj se Asirca, narode moj, koji nastavaš na gori Sionu; prutom æe te udariti i štap svoj podignuæe na te kao u Misiru.
25 For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
Jer još malo, i gnjev æe prestati; tada æe se jarost moja obratiti na njihovu pogibao.
26 And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.
Jer æe podignuti na nj Gospod nad vojskama biè, te æe biti kao rasap Madijanski kod kamena Oriva i kao štap njegov na moru, i podignuæe ga kao u Misiru.
27 On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.
I tada æe se skinuti breme njegovo s ramena tvojega i jaram njegov s vrata tvojega, i izlomiæe se jaram od pomazanja.
28 Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing their supplies at Michmash.
Doðe u Ajat, proðe u Migron, u Mihmasu rasprti prtljag svoj.
29 They have crossed at the ford: “We will spend the night at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
Poðoše klancem, u Gavaji zanoæiše, prepade se Rama, Gavaja Saulova pobježe.
30 Cry aloud, O Daughter of Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! O wretched Anathoth!
Vièi iza glasa, kæeri Galimova; nek se èuje u Lais, jadni Anatote!
31 Madmenah flees; the people of Gebim take refuge.
Madmina pobježe, stanovnici Gevimski utekoše.
32 Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
Još jedan dan, pa æe stajati u Novu, mahnuæe rukom svojom na goru kæeri Sionske, na hum Jerusalimski.
33 Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.
Gle, Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, okresaæe silom grane; što je visoko posjeæi æe, i što je uzdignuto sniziæe.
34 He will clear the forest thickets with an axe, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
I gustu æe šumu isjeæi sjekirom, i Livan æe pasti od silnoga.
