Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Utvara Isaije sina Amosova, koju vidje za Judu i za Jerusalim za vremena Ozije, Joatana, Ahaza i Jezekije, careva Judinijeh.
2 Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
Èujte, nebesa, i slušaj, zemljo; jer Gospod govori: sinove odgojih i podigoh, a oni se odvrgoše mene.
3 Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
Vo poznaje gospodara svojega i magarac jasle gospodara svojega, a Izrailj ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.
4 O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
Da grješna naroda! naroda ogrezla u bezakonju! sjemena zlikovaèkoga, sinova pokvarenijeh! ostaviše Gospoda, prezreše sveca Izrailjeva, otstupiše natrag.
5 Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
Što biste još bili bijeni kad se sve više odmeæete? Sva je glava bolesna i sve srce iznemoglo.
6 The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
Od pete do glave nema ništa zdrava, nego uboj i modrice i rane gnojave, ni iscijeðene ni zavijene ni uljem zablažene.
7 Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
Zemlja je vaša pusta, gradovi vaši ognjem popaljeni; vaše njive jedu tuðini na vaše oèi, i pustoš je kao što opustošavaju tuðini.
8 And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
I osta kæi Sionska kao koliba u vinogradu, kao sjenica u gradini od krastavaca, kao grad opkoljen.
9 If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
Da nam Gospod nad vojskama nije ostavio malo ostatka, bili bismo kao Sodom, izjednaèili bismo se s Gomorom.
10 Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
Èujte rijeè Gospodnju, knezovi Sodomski, poslušajte zakon Boga našega, narode Gomorski!
11 What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
Što æe mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših? veli Gospod. Sit sam žrtava paljenica od ovnova i pretiline od gojene stoke, i ne marim za krv junèiju i jagnjeæu i jareæu.
12 At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
Kad dolazite da se pokažete preda mnom, ko ište to od vas, da gazite po mom trijemu?
13 Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
Ne prinosite više žrtve zaludne; na kad gadim se; a o mladinama i subotama i o sazivanju skupštine ne mogu podnositi bezakonja i svetkovine.
14 Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
Na mladine vaše i na praznike vaše mrzi duša moja, dosadiše mi, dodija mi podnositi.
15 And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
Zato kad širite ruke svoje, zaklanjam oèi svoje od vas; i kad množite molitve, ne slušam; ruke su vaše pune krvi.
16 Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
Umijte se, oèistite se, uklonite zloæu djela svojih ispred oèiju mojih, prestanite zlo èiniti.
17 Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
Uèite se dobro èiniti, tražite pravdu, ispravljajte potlaèenoga, dajite pravicu siroti, branite udovicu.
18 Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
Tada doðite, veli Gospod, pa æemo se suditi: ako grijesi vaši budu kao skerlet, postaæe bijeli kao snijeg; ako budu crveni kao crvac, postaæe kao vuna.
19 If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
Ako hoæete slušati, dobra zemaljska ješæete.
20 But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
Ako li neæete, nego budete nepokorni, maè æe vas pojesti, jer usta Gospodnja rekoše.
21 The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
Kako posta kurva vjerni grad? Pun bijaše pravice, pravda nastavaše u njemu, a sada krvnici.
22 Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
Srebro tvoje posta troska, vino tvoje pomiješa se s vodom.
23 Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
Knezovi su tvoji odmetnici i drugovi lupežima; svaki miluje mito i ide za darovima; siroti ne daju pravice, i parnica udovièka ne dolazi pred njih.
24 For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
Zato govori Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, silni Izrailjev: aha! izdovoljiæu se na protivnicima svojim, i osvetiæu se neprijateljima svojim.
25 And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
I okrenuæu ruku svoju na te, i sažeæi æu troske tvoje da te preèistim, i ukloniæu sve olovo tvoje.
26 And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
I postaviæu ti opet sudije kao prije, i savjetnike kao ispoèetka; tada æeš se zvati grad pravedni, grad vjerni.
27 Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
Sion æe se otkupiti sudom, i pravdom oni koji se u nj vrate.
28 But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
A odmetnici i grješnici svi æe se satrti, i koji ostavljaju Gospoda, izginuæe.
29 For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
Jer æete se posramiti od gajeva koje željeste, i zastidjeti se od vrtova koje izabraste.
30 For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
Jer æete biti kao hrast kojemu opada lišæe i kao vrt u kom nema vode.
31 And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
I biæe junak kao kuèine i djelo njegovo kao iskra, i oboje æe se zapaliti, i neæe biti nikoga da ugasi.
