Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—
Gle, Gospod æe isprazniti zemlju i opustiti je, prevrnuæe je i rasijaæe stanovnike njezine.
2 people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.
I biæe sveštenik kao narod, gospodar kao sluga, gospoða kao sluškinja, prodavac kao kupac, koji daje u zajam kao koji uzima u zajam, koji uzima dobit kao koji daje.
3 The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered.
Sasvijem æe se isprazniti zemlja, i sasvijem æe se oplijeniti. Jer Gospod reèe ovu rijeè.
4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.
Tužiæe zemlja i opasti, iznemoæi æe vasiljena i opasti; iznemoæi æe glavari naroda zemaljskoga.
5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.
Jer se zemlja oskvrni pod stanovnicima svojim, jer prestupiše zakone, izmijeniše uredbe, raskidoše zavjet vjeèni.
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.
Zato æe prokletstvo proždrijeti zemlju, i zatræe se stanovnici njezini; zato æe izgorjeti stanovnici zemaljski, i malo æe ljudi ostati.
7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.
Tužiæe vino, uvenuæe loza vinova, uzdisaæe svi koji su vesela srca.
8 The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
Prestaæe veselje uz bubnje, nestaæe graje onijeh koji se vesele, prestaæe veselje uz gusle.
9 They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
Neæe piti vina uz pjesme, ogrknuæe silovito piæe onima koji ga piju.
10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.
Razbiæe se pusti grad, zatvorene æe biti sve kuæe da niko ne ulazi.
11 In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
Tužnjava æe biti po ulicama radi vina, proæi æe svako veselje, otiæi æe radost zemaljska.
12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
Pustoš æe ostati u gradu, i vrata æe se razvaliti.
13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
Jer æe biti u zemlji i u narodima kao kad se oberu masline, i kao kad se paljetkuje poslije berbe.
14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
Ovi æe podignuti glas svoj i pjevaæe, radi velièanstva Gospodnjega podvikivaæe od mora.
15 Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
Zato slavite Gospoda u dolinama, na ostrvima morskim ime Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery.
S kraja zemlje èusmo pjesme u slavu pravednome; ali rekoh: ološah! ološah! teško meni! nevjernici nevjeru èine, baš nevjernici nevjeru èine.
17 Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of the earth.
Strahota i jama i zamka pred tobom je, stanovnièe zemaljski!
18 Whoever flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I ko uteèe èuvši za strahotu, pašæe u jamu; a ko ižljeze iz jame, uhvatiæe se u zamku; jer æe se ustave na visini otvoriti i zatrešæe se temelji zemlji.
19 The earth is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently.
Sva æe se zemlja razbiti, sva æe se zemlja raspasti, sva æe se zemlja uskolebati.
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.
Sva æe se zemlja ljuljati kao pijan èovjek, i premjestiæe se kao koliba, jer æe joj otežati bezakonje njezino, te æe pasti i neæe više ustati.
21 In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
I u to æe vrijeme pohoditi Gospod na visini vojsku visoku i na zemlji sve careve zemaljske.
22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.
I skupiæe se kao što se skupljaju sužnji u jamu, i biæe zatvoreni u tamnicu, i poslije mnogo vremena biæe pohoðeni.
23 The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
I posramiæe se mjesec i sunce æe se zastidjeti kad Gospod nad vojskama stane carovati na gori Sionu i u Jerusalimu, i pred starješinama svojim proslavi se.
