Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
U onaj dan pjevat ću ovu pjesmu u zemlji Judinoj: “Tvrd grad mi imamo: za obranu nam On podiže zidove i predziđa.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
Otvorite vrata! Nek' uđe narod pravedni koji čuva vjernost,
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
čiji je značaj čvrst, koji čuva mir jer se u te uzda.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
Uzdajte se u Jahvu dovijeka, jer Jahve je Stijena vječna;
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
on obara one koji obitavahu visoko, razvaljuje tvrđu visoku, ruši u prah, sravnjuje sa zemljom,
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
te je gaze noge, noge ubogih i koraci nevoljnih.”
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
Put je pravednikov prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednom.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
Da, na stazi tvojih sudova željno te, Jahve, čekamo; ime tvoje i spomen tvoj duša nam žudi.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
Dušom svojom žudim tebe noću i duhom svojim u sebi te tražim. Jer kad se na zemlji pojave tvoji sudovi, uče se pravdi stanovnici kruga zemaljskoga.
10 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
Ako se pomiluje opaki, on se ne uči pravednosti. U zemlji pravednosti on čini bezakonje i ne obazire se na veličanstvo Jahvino.
11 Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
Jahve, ruka je tvoja podignuta, a oni je ne vide. Nek' vide i postide se, nek' ih proguta revnost za narod, nek' ih proždre oganj pripravljen dušmanima tvojim.
12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
Jahve, ti mir nama daješ, jer ti si tvorac svih djela naših.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
Jahve, Bože naš, gospodarili su nama osim tebe drugi gospodari, ali tebe jedinog, ime tvoje, častimo.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
Mrtvi neće oživjeti, sjene neće uskrsnuti, jer ti si ih kaznio i uništio i zatro svaki spomen na njih!
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
Umnožio si narod, Jahve, umnožio si narod, proslavio se, proširio sve granice zemlje!
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
Jahve, tražili su te u nevolji; izlijevali tihu molitvu, kad ih je stigla tvoja kazna.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
Kao što se trudna žena pred porođajem grči i viče u bolovima, takvi smo, Jahve, pred tobom.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
Zatrudnjeli smo, u mukama smo kao da rađamo, nismo donijeli duha spasenja zemlji nit' se rodiše stanovnici svijeta.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
Tvoji će mrtvi oživjeti, uskrsnut će tijela. Probudite se i kličite, stanovnici praha! Jer rosa je tvoja - rosa svjetlosti, i zemlja će sjene na svijet dati.
20 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
Hajde, narode moj, uđi u sobe i vrata za sobom zatvori. Sakrij se časkom dok jarost ne prođe.
21 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
Jer, gle, izići će Jahve iz svog prebivališta da stanovnike zemljine kazni što se o njeg' ogriješiše. Izbacit će zemlja svu krv što je na njoj prolivena i neće više kriti onih koji su na njoj poklani.
