Isaiah 7
1 Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.
U vrijeme Ahaza sina Jotama sina Ozije cara Judina doðe Resin car Sirski i Fakej sin Remalijin car Izrailjev na Jerusalim da ga biju, ali ga ne mogoše uzeti.
2 When it was reported to the house of David that Aram was in league with Ephraim, the hearts of Ahaz and his people trembled like trees in the forest shaken by the wind.
I doðe glas domu Davidovu i rekoše: Sirija se složi s Jefremom. A srce Ahazovo i srce naroda njegova ustrepta kao drveæe u šumi od vjetra.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,
Tada reèe Gospod Isaiji: izidi na susret Ahazu, ti i Sear-jasuv sin tvoj, nakraj jaza gornjega jezera, na put kod polja bjeljareva.
4 and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
I reci mu: èuvaj se i budi miran, ne boj se i srce tvoje neka se ne plaši od dva kraja ovijeh glavanja što se puše, od raspaljenoga gnjeva Resinova i Sirskoga i sina Remalijina.
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Što se Sirci i Jefrem i sin Remalijin dogovoriše na tvoje zlo govoreæi:
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
Hajdemo na Judejsku da joj dosadimo i da je osvojimo i da postavimo u njoj carem sina Taveilova;
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog: neæe se to uèiniti, neæe biti.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
Jer je glava Siriji Damasak, a Damasku je glava Resin; i do šezdeset i pet godina satræe se Jefrem tako da više neæe biti narod.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.’”
I glava je Jefremu Samarija, a Samariji je glava sin Remalijin. Ako ne vjerujete, neæete se održati.
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
I još reèe Gospod Ahazu govoreæi:
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
Išti znak od Gospoda Boga svojega, išti ozdo iz dubine ili ozgo s visine. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
A Ahaz reèe: neæu iskati, niti æu kušati Gospoda.
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?
Tada reèe Isaija: slušajte sada, dome Davidov; malo li vam je što dosaðujete ljudima, nego dosaðujete i Bogu mojemu?
14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.
Zato æe vam sam Gospod dati znak: eto djevojka æe zatrudnjeti i rodiæe sina, i nadjenuæe mu ime Emanuilo.
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Maslo i med ješæe, dokle ne nauèi odbaciti zlo a izabrati dobro.
16 For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
Jer prije nego nauèi dijete odbaciti zlo a izabrati dobro, ostaviæe zemlju, na koju se gadiš, dva cara njezina.
17 The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”
Gospod æe pustiti na te i na narod tvoj i na dom oca tvojega dane, kakih nije bilo otkad se Jefrem odvoji od Jude, preko cara Asirskoga.
18 On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
I tada æe Gospod zazviždati muhama koje su nakraj rijeka Misirskih, i pèelama koje su u zemlji Asirskoj;
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
I doæi æe i popadaæe sve u puste doline i u kamene rasjeline i na sve èeste i na svako drvce.
20 On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates —the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.
Tada æe Gospod obrijati britvom zakupljenom ispreko rijeke, carem Asirskim, glavu i dlake po nogama, i bradu svu.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
I tada ko saèuva kravicu i dvije ovce,
22 and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
Od mnoštva mlijeka što æe davati ješæe maslo; jer maslo i med ješæe ko god ostane u zemlji.
23 And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver, only briers and thorns will be found.
I tada æe svako mjesto gdje ima tisuæa èokota za tisuæu srebrnika zarasti u èkalj i trnje.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Sa strijelama i s lukom iæi æe se onamo, jer æe sva zemlja biti èkalj i trnje.
25 For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.
A na sve gore koje su se kopale motikom, na njih neæe doæi strah od èkalja i trnja, nego æe biti ispust volovima i gaziæe ih ovce.
