< Isaiah 17 >

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city, and it will be like a heap of stones in ruin.
Breme Damasku. Gle, Damasak æe se ukinuti da ne bude više grad, nego æe biti gomila razvalina.
2 The cities in ruin will be left for the flocks, and they will take rest there, and there will be no one who may terrify them.
Gradovi Aroirski biæe ostavljeni, biæe za stada, te æe u njima poèivati, i niko ih neæe plašiti.
3 And assistance will cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom will cease from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of hosts.
Nestaæe gradova Jefremovijeh i carstva u Damasku i ostatku Sirskom, biæe kao slava sinova Izrailjevijeh, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
4 And this shall be in that day: the glory of Jacob will be thinned, and the fatness of his flesh will be reduced.
I u taj æe dan istanèati slava Jakovljeva, i debelo tijelo njegovo omršaæe.
5 And it shall be like the gathering of the harvest which remains, and his arm will pick the ears of grain. And it shall be like a search for grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Jer æe biti kao kad žetelac sabira žito i rukom žanje klasje, i biæe kao kad se kupi klasje u dolini Rafajskoj.
6 And what is left behind in it will be like one cluster of grapes, or like a shaken olive tree with two or three olives at the top of a branch, or like four or five olives at the top of a tree, says the Lord God of Israel.
Ali æe se ostaviti u njoj pabirci kao kad se otrese maslina, pa dvije tri ostanu u vrhu, i èetiri pet na rodnijem granama, veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev.
7 In that day, a man will bow before his Maker, and his eyes will consider the Holy One of Israel.
U to æe vrijeme èovjek pogledati na tvorca svojega, i oèi njegove gledaæe na sveca Izrailjeva;
8 And he will not bow before the altars that his hands have made. And he will not consider the things that his fingers have made, the sacred groves and the shrines.
A neæe pogledati na oltare, djelo ruku svojih, niti æe gledati na ono što su naèinili prsti njegovi, ni na lugove ni na likove sunèane.
9 In that day, his strong cities will be abandoned, like the plows and the grain fields which were left behind before the face of the sons of Israel, and you shall be deserted.
U to æe vrijeme tvrdi gradovi njegovi biti kao ostavljen grm i ogranak, jer æe se ostaviti radi sinova Izrailjevijeh, i biæe pustoš.
10 For you have forgotten God your Savior, and you have not remembered your strong Helper. Because of this, you will plant trustworthy plants, but you will sow a foreign seed.
Jer si zaboravio Boga spasenja svojega, i nijesi se sjeæao stijene sile svoje; zato sadi krasne sadove i lozu stranu presaðuj;
11 In the day of your planting, the wild grapevine and your morning seed will flourish. The harvest has been taken away to the day of inheritance, and you will grieve heavily.
Danju radi da uzraste što posadiš, i jutrom gledaj da ti sjeme nikne; ali kad doðe do branja razgrabiæe se, i ostaæe ti ljuta žalost.
12 Woe to the multitude of many peoples, like the multitude of the roaring sea! Woe to the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters!
Teško mnoštvu velikih naroda, što buèe kao što buèe mora, i uzavrelijem narodima, kojih stoji vreva kao silnijeh voda;
13 The peoples will make a noise, like the noise of waters overflowing, but he will rebuke him, and so he will flee far away. And he will be quickly taken away, like the dust of the mountains before the face of the wind, and like a whirlwind before a tempest.
Vreva stoji naroda kao velikih voda; ali æe povikati na njih, i oni æe pobjeæi daleko, i biæe gonjeni kao pljeva po brdima od vjetra i kao prah od vihora.
14 In the time of the evening, behold: there will be a disturbance. When it is early morning, he will not remain. This is the portion of those who have devastated us, and this is the lot of those who have plundered us.
Uveèe eto straha, i prije nego svane nema nikoga. To je dio onijeh koji nas gaze, i našljedstvo onijeh koji otimlju od nas.
