Esias 24
1 Behold, the Lord is about to lay waste the world, and will make it desolate, and will lay bare the surface of it, and scatter them that dwell therein.
Gle, Gospod æe isprazniti zemlju i opustiti je, prevrnuæe je i rasijaæe stanovnike njezine.
2 And the people shall be as the priest, and the servant as the lord, and the maid as the mistress; the buyer shall be as the seller, the lender as the borrower, and the debtor as his creditor.
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 shall be completely laid waste, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.
Sasvijem æe se isprazniti zemlja, i sasvijem æe se oplijeniti. Jer Gospod reèe ovu rijeè.
4 The earth mourns, and the world is ruined, the lofty ones of the earth are mourning.
Tužiæe zemlja i opasti, iznemoæi æe vasiljena i opasti; iznemoæi æe glavari naroda zemaljskoga.
5 And she has sinned by reason of her inhabitants; because they have transgressed the law, and changed the ordinances, [even] the everlasting covenant.
Jer se zemlja oskvrni pod stanovnicima svojim, jer prestupiše zakone, izmijeniše uredbe, raskidoše zavjet vjeèni.
6 Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, because the inhabitants thereof have sinned: therefore the dwellers in the earth shall be poor, and few men shall be left.
Zato æe prokletstvo proždrijeti zemlju, i zatræe se stanovnici njezini; zato æe izgorjeti stanovnici zemaljski, i malo æe ljudi ostati.
7 The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.
Tužiæe vino, uvenuæe loza vinova, uzdisaæe svi koji su vesela srca.
8 The mirth of timbrels has ceased, the sound of the harp has ceased.
Prestaæe veselje uz bubnje, nestaæe graje onijeh koji se vesele, prestaæe veselje uz gusle.
9 They are ashamed, they have not drunk wine; strong drink has become bitter to them that drink [it].
Neæe piti vina uz pjesme, ogrknuæe silovito piæe onima koji ga piju.
10 All the city has become desolate: one shall shut his house so that none shall enter.
Razbiæe se pusti grad, zatvorene æe biti sve kuæe da niko ne ulazi.
11 There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.
Tužnjava æe biti po ulicama radi vina, proæi æe svako veselje, otiæi æe radost zemaljska.
12 And cities shall be left desolate, and houses being left shall fall to ruin.
Pustoš æe ostati u gradu, i vrata æe se razvaliti.
13 All this shall be in the land in the midst of the nations, as if one should strip an olive tree, so shall they strip them; but when the vintage is done,
Jer æe biti u zemlji i u narodima kao kad se oberu masline, i kao kad se paljetkuje poslije berbe.
14 these shall cry aloud; and they that are left on the land shall rejoice together in the glory of the Lord: the water of the sea shall be troubled.
Ovi æe podignuti glas svoj i pjevaæe, radi velièanstva Gospodnjega podvikivaæe od mora.
15 Therefore shall the glory of the Lord be in the isles of the sea; the name of the Lord shall be glorious.
Zato slavite Gospoda u dolinama, na ostrvima morskim ime Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
16 O Lord God of Israel, from the ends of the earth we have heard wonderful things, [and there is] hope to the godly: but they shall say, Woe to the despisers, that despise the law.
S kraja zemlje èusmo pjesme u slavu pravednome; ali rekoh: ološah! ološah! teško meni! nevjernici nevjeru èine, baš nevjernici nevjeru èine.
17 Fear, and a pit, and a snare, are upon you that dwell on the earth.
Strahota i jama i zamka pred tobom je, stanovnièe zemaljski!
18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the pit shall be caught by the snare: for windows have been opened in heaven, and the foundations of the earth shall be 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 shall be utterly confounded, and the earth shall be completely perplexed.
Sva æe se zemlja razbiti, sva æe se zemlja raspasti, sva æe se zemlja uskolebati.
20 It reels as a drunkard and one oppressed with wine, and the earth shall be shaken as a storehouse of fruits; for iniquity has prevailed upon it, and it shall fall, and shall not be able to rise.
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 And God shall bring [his] hand upon the host of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.
I u to æe vrijeme pohoditi Gospod na visini vojsku visoku i na zemlji sve careve zemaljske.
22 And they shall gather the multitude thereof into prisons, and they shall shut them into a strong hold: after many generations they shall be visited.
I skupiæe se kao što se skupljaju sužnji u jamu, i biæe zatvoreni u tamnicu, i poslije mnogo vremena biæe pohoðeni.
23 And the brick shall decay, and the wall shall fall; for the Lord shall reign from out of Sion, and out of Jerusalem, and shall be glorified before [his] elders.
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.
