Isaiah 7
1 Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.
U dane judejskoga kralja Ahaza, sina Jotamova, sina Uzijina, aramski kralj Rason i izraelski kralj Pekah, sin Remalijin, zavojštiše na Jeruzalem, ali ga ne mogoše zauzeti.
2 And word came to the family of David that Aram had put up its tents in Ephraim. And the king's heart, and the hearts of his people, were moved, like the trees of the wood shaking in the wind.
Tada dojaviše domu Davidovu: “Aramci se utaborili u Efrajimu.” Na tu vijest uzdrhta srce kraljevo i srce svega naroda, kao što u šumi drveće ustrepti od vjetra.
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, Go out now, you and Shear-jashub, your son, and you will come across Ahaz at the end of the stream flowing from the higher pool, in the highway of the washerman's field;
I Jahve reče Izaiji: “Iziđi pred Ahaza, ti i sin tvoj Šear Jašub, do nakraj vodovoda gornjeg ribnjaka na putu u Valjarevo polje.
4 And say to him, Take care and be quiet; have no fear, and do not let your heart be feeble, because of these two ends of smoking fire-wood, because of the bitter wrath of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.
Reci mu: 'Pazi, smiri se, ne boj se, i nek' ti ne premire srce od ovih dvaju ugaraka zadimljenih, od raspaljenog bijesa Rasona aramskog i sina Remalijina,
5 Because Aram has made evil designs against you, saying,
jer Aram, Efrajim i sin Remalijin smisliše tvoju propast.'
6 Let us go up against Judah, troubling her, and forcing our way into her, and let us put up a king in her, even the son of Tabeel:
Pođimo, rekoše, na Judeju, uplašimo je i osvojimo da u njoj zakraljimo sina Tabelova.
7 This is the word of the Lord God: This design will not come about or be effected.
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'To se neće zbiti: toga biti neće!
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin (and in sixty-five years from now Ephraim will be broken, and will no longer be a people):
[8a] Damask je glava Aramcima, a Damasku je glava Rason;
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.
Samarija je glava Efrajimcima, a Samariji glava je Remalija. [8b]Još šezdeset i pet godina, i Efrajim, razoren, neće više biti narod. [9b] Ako se na me ne oslonite, održat' se nećete!”
10 And Isaiah said again to Ahaz,
Jahve opet progovori Ahazu i reče mu:
11 Make a request to the Lord your God for a sign, a sign in the deep places of the underworld, or in the high heavens. (Sheol h7585)
“Zaišti od Jahve, Boga svoga, jedan znak za sebe iz dubine Podzemlja ili gore iz visina.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, I will not put the Lord to the test by making such a request.
Ali Ahaz odgovori: “Ne, neću iskati i neću iskušavati Jahvu.”
13 And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?
Tada reče Izaija: “Čujte, dome Davidov. Zar vam je malo dodijavati ljudima, pa i Bogu mom dodijavate!
14 For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.
Zato, sam će vam Gospodin dati znak: Evo, začet će djevica i roditi sina i nadjenut će mu ime Emanuel!
15 Butter and honey will be his food, when he is old enough to make a decision between evil and good.
Vrhnjem i medom on će se hraniti dok ne nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro.
16 For before the child is old enough to make a decision between evil and good, the land whose two kings you are now fearing will have become waste.
Jer prije nego dječak nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro, opustjet će zemlja, zbog koje strepiš, od dvaju kraljeva.
17 The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.
Protiv tebe i protiv tvog naroda i protiv kuće oca tvojega dovest će Jahve dane kakvih ne bijaše otkad se Efrajim odvoji od Jude - kralja asirskoga.
18 And it will be in that day that the Lord will make a piping sound for the fly which is in the end of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.
U dan onaj zazviždat će Jahve muhama na ušću egipatskih rijeka i pčelama u zemlji asirskoj
19 And they will come, covering all the waste valleys, and the holes of the rocks, and the thorns, and all the watering-places.
da dođu i popadaju po strmim dolovima, po rasjelinama stijena, po svim trnjacima i svim pojilištima.
20 In that day will the Lord take away the hair of the head and of the feet, as well as the hair of the face, with a blade got for a price from the other side of the River; even with the king of Assyria.
U dan onaj Gospod će obrijati britvom najmljenom s onu stranu Eufrata - kraljem asirskim - kosu s glave, dlake s nogu i bradu s obraza.
21 And it will be in that day that a man will give food to a young cow and two sheep;
U dan onaj svatko će hraniti po kravu i dvije ovce
22 And they will give so much milk that he will be able to have butter for his food: for butter and honey will be the food of all who are still living in the land.
i od obilja mlijeka koje će mu dati hranit će se vrhnjem; vrhnjem i medom hranit će se koji god u zemlji preostanu.
23 And it will be in that day that in every place where before there were a thousand vines valued at a thousand shekels of silver, there will be nothing but blackberries and thorns.
U dan onaj gdje god bijaše tisuću čokota, vrijednih tisuću srebrnika, izrast će drač i trnje.
24 Men will come there with bows and arrows, because all the land will be full of blackberries and thorns.
Onamo će polaziti sa strijelom i lukom, jer sva će zemlja u drač i trnje zarasti.
25 And they will send out the oxen and the sheep on all the hills which before were worked with the spade, ... fear of blackberries and thorns.
A po svim gorama gdje se motikom kopalo nitko više neće ići, strašeći se trnja i drača: onuda će goveda pasti i gaziti ovce.”
