Isaiah 5
1 I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
Zapjevaæu sada dragome svojemu pjesmu dragoga svojega o vinogradu njegovu. Dragi moj ima vinograd na rodnu brdašcu.
2 He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!
I ogradi ga, i otrijebi iz njega kamenje, i nasadi ga plemenitom lozom, i sazida kulu usred njega, i iskopa pivnicu u njemu, i poèeka da rodi grožðem, a on rodi vinjagom.
3 “And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.
Pa sada, stanovnici Jerusalimski i ljudi Judejci, sudite izmeðu mene i vinograda mojega.
4 What more could I have done for My vineyard than I already did for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?
Što je još trebalo èiniti vinogradu mojemu što mu ne uèinih? kad èekah da rodi grožðem, zašto rodi vinjagom?
5 Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.
Sada æu vam kazati što æu uèiniti vinogradu svojemu. Oboriæu mu ogradu, neka opusti; razvaliæu mu zid, neka se pogazi;
6 I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”
Uparložiæu ga, neæe se rezati ni kopati, nego æe rasti èkalj i trnje, i zapovjediæu oblacima da ne puštaju više dažda na nj.
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.
Da, vinograd je Gospoda nad vojskama dom Izrailjev, i ljudi su Judejci mili sad njegov; on èeka sud, a gle nasilja, èeka pravdu, a gle vike.
8 Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
Teško onima koji sastavljaju kuæu s kuæom, i njivu na njivu nastavljaju, da veæ ne bude mjesta i vi sami ostanete u zemlji.
9 I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
Od Gospoda nad vojskama èuh: mnoge kuæe opustjeæe, u velikim i lijepijem neæe biti nikoga.
10 For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
Jer æe deset rala vinograda dati jedan vat, i gomer sjemena daæe efu.
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.
Teško onima koji rane, te idu na silovito piæe i ostaju do mraka dok ih vino raspali.
12 At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.
I na gozbama su im gusle i psaltiri i bubnji i svirale i vino; a ne gledaju na djela Gospodnja i ne vide rada ruku njegovijeh.
13 Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
Zato se narod moj odvede u ropstvo što ne znaju, i koje poštuje gladuju, i ljudstvo njegovo gine od žeði.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers! (Sheol h7585)
Zato se raširio grob i razvalio ždrijelo svoje preveæ, i siæi æe u nj slava njegova i mnoštvo njegovo i vreva njegova i koji se vesele u njemu. (Sheol h7585)
15 So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.
I pognuæe se prost èovjek, i visoki æe se poniziti, i ponosite oèi oboriæe se;
16 But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
Gospod nad vojskama uzvisiæe se sudom, i Bog sveti posvetiæe se pravdom.
17 Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.
I jaganjci æe pasti po svom obièaju, i došljaci æe jesti s pustijeh mjesta pretilinu.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,
Teško onima koji vuku bezakonje uzicama od taštine, i grijeh kao užem kolskim,
19 to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
Koji govore: neka pohiti, neka brzo doðe djelo njegovo, da vidimo, i neka se približi i doðe što je naumio svetac Izrailjev, da poznamo.
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
Teško onima koji zlo zovu dobro, a dobro zlo, koji prave od mraka svjetlost a od svjetlosti mrak, koji prave od gorkoga slatko a od slatkoga gorko.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Teško onima koji misle da su mudri, i sami su sebi razumni.
22 Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing beer,
Teško onima koji su jaki piti vino i junaci u miješanju silovita piæa.
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
Koji pravdaju bezbožnika za poklon, a pravednima uzimaju pravdu.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Zato kao što oganj proždire strnjiku i slame nestaje u plamenu, tako æe korijen njihov biti kao trulež i cvijet njihov otiæi æe kao prah, jer odbaciše zakon Gospoda nad vojskama i prezreše rijeè sveca Izrailjeva.
25 Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Zato se raspali gnjev Gospodnji na narod njegov, i mahnuv rukom svojom na nj udari ga da se gore zadrmaše i mrtva tjelesa njegova biše kao blato po ulicama. Kod svega toga gnjev se njegov ne odvrati, nego je ruka njegova još podignuta.
26 He lifts a banner for the distant nations and whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!
I podignuæe zastavu narodima daljnijem, i zazviždaæe im s kraja zemlje; i gle, oni æe doæi odmah, brzo.
27 None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.
Neæe biti meðu njima umorna ni sustala, ni dremljiva ni sanljiva, nikome se neæe raspasati pojas oko njega, niti æe se kome otkinuti remen na obuæi.
28 Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows are strung. The hooves of their horses are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
Strijele æe im biti oštre, i svi lukovi njihovi zapeti; kopita u konja njihovijeh biæe kao kremen i toèkovi njihovi kao vihor.
29 Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away from deliverance.
Rika æe im biti kao u lava, i rikaæe kao laviæi; buèaæe i ugrabiæe plijen i odnijeti ga, i neæe biti nikoga da otme.
30 In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.
Buèaæe nad njim u to vrijeme kao što more buèi. Tada æe pogledati na zemlju, a to mrak i strah, i svjetlost æe se pomraèiti nad pogiblju njihovom.
