Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of arrogance, to the inebriated of Ephraim, and to the falling flower, the glory of his exultation, to those who were at the top of the very fat valley, staggering from wine.
Teško gizdavome vijencu pijanica Jefremovijeh, uvelom cvijetu krasnoga nakita njihova, koji su uvrh rodnoga dola, pijani od vina!
2 Behold, the Lord is powerful and steadfast, like a storm of hail, like a crushing whirlwind, like the force of many waters, inundating, sent forth over a spacious land.
Gle, u Gospoda ima neko jak i silan kao pljusak od grada, kao oluja koja sve lomi, kao poplava silne vode, kad navali, oboriæe sve na zemlju rukom.
3 The arrogant crown of the inebriated of Ephraim will be trampled underfoot.
Nogama æe se izgaziti gizdavi vijenac, pijanice Jefremove.
4 And the falling flower, the glory of his exultation, who is at the summit of the fat valley, will be like a premature fruit before the ripeness of autumn, which, when the onlooker beholds it, as soon he takes it in his hand, he will devour it.
I uveli cvijet krasnoga nakita njihova, što je uvrh rodnoga dola, biæe kao voæe uzrelo prije ljeta, koje èim ko vidi, uzme u ruku i pojede.
5 In that day, the Lord of hosts will be the crown of glory and the wreath of exultation for the remnant of his people.
U ono æe vrijeme Gospod nad vojskama biti slavna kruna i dièan vijenac ostatku naroda svojega,
6 And he will be the spirit of judgment for those who sit in judgment, and the strength of those who return from war to the gates.
I duh suda onome koji sjedi da sudi, i sila onima koji uzbijaju boj do vrata.
7 Yet truly, these also have been ignorant due to wine, and they have gone astray due to inebriation. The priest and the prophet have been ignorant because of inebriation. They have been absorbed by wine. They have staggered in drunkenness. They have not known the One who sees. They have been ignorant of judgment.
Ali se i oni zanose od vina, i posræu od silovita piæa; sveštenik i prorok zanose se od silovita piæa, osvojilo ih je vino, posræu od silovita piæa, zanose se u prorokovanju, spotièu se u suðenju.
8 For all the tables have been filled with vomit and filth, so much so that there was no place left.
Jer su svi stolovi puni bljuvotine i neèistote, nema mjesta èista.
9 To whom will he teach knowledge? And to whom will he grant an understanding of what is heard? To those who have been weaned from the milk, who have been pulled away from the breasts.
Koga æe uèiti mudrosti, i koga æe uputiti da razumije nauku? Djecu, kojoj se ne daje više mlijeko, koja su odbijena od sise?
10 So then: command, and command again; command, and command again; expect, and expect again; a little here, and a little there.
Jer zapovijest po zapovijest, zapovijest po zapovijest, pravilo po pravilo, pravilo po pravilo, ovdje malo, ondje malo davaše se.
11 For with the speech of lips and with a different language, he will speak to this people.
Zato æe nerazumljivom besjedom i tuðim jezikom govoriti tome narodu;
12 He said to them: “This is my rest. Refresh the weary,” and, “This is my refreshment.” And yet they were unwilling to listen.
Jer im reèe: ovo je poèinak, ostavite umorna da poèine; ovo je odmor; ali ne htješe poslušati.
13 And so, the word of the Lord to them will be: “Command, and command again; command, and command again; expect, and expect again; a little here, and a little there,” so that they may go forward and fall backward, and so that they may be broken and ensnared and captured.
I biæe im rijeè Gospodnja, zapovijest po zapovijest, zapovijest po zapovijest, pravilo po pravilo, pravilo po pravilo, malo ovdje, malo ondje, da idu i padaju nauznako i razbiju se, i da se zapletu u zamke i uhvate.
14 Because of this, listen to the word of the Lord, you mocking men, who lord it over my people who are at Jerusalem.
Zato slušajte rijeè Gospodnju, ljudi potsmjevaèi, koji vladate narodom što je u Jerusalimu.
15 For you have said: “We struck a deal with death, and we formed a pact with Hell. When the inundating scourge passes through, it will not overwhelm us. For we have placed our hope in lies, and we are protected by what is false.” (Sheol h7585)
Što rekoste: uhvatismo vjeru sa smræu, i ugovorismo s grobom; kad zaðe biè kao povodanj, neæe nas dohvatiti, jer od laži naèinismo sebi utoèište, i za prijevaru zaklonismo se; (Sheol h7585)
16 For this reason, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will set a stone within the foundations of Zion, a tested stone, a cornerstone, a precious stone, which has been established in the foundation: whoever trusts in him need not hurry.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, ja meæem u Sionu kamen, kamen izabran, kamen od ugla, skupocjen, temelj tvrd; ko vjeruje neæe se plašiti.
17 And I will establish judgment in weights, and justice in measures. And a hailstorm will overturn hope in what is false; and waters will inundate its protection.
I izvršiæu sud po pravilu i pravdu po mjerilima; i grad æe potrti lažno utoèište i voda æe potopiti zaklon.
18 And your deal with death will be abolished, and your pact with Hell will not stand. When the inundating scourge passes through, you will be trampled down by it. (Sheol h7585)
I vjera vaša sa smræu uništiæe se, i ugovor vaš s grobom neæe ostati, a kad zaðe biè kao povodanj, potlaèiæe vas. (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it passes through, it will take you away. For, at first light of morning, it will pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone will make you understand what you hear.
Èim zaðe, odnijeæe vas, jer æe zalaziti svako jutro, danju i noæu, i kad se èuje vika, biæe sam strah.
20 For the bed has been narrowed, so much so that one alone would fall out, and the short blanket is not able to cover two.
Jer æe odar biti kratak da se èovjek ne može pružiti, i pokrivaè uzak da se ne može umotati.
21 For the Lord will stand, just as at the mountain of divisions. He will be angry, just as in the valley which is in Gibeon, so that he may accomplish his work, his strange work, so that he may complete his work, his work which is foreign even to him.
Jer æe Gospod ustati kao na gori Ferasimu, razgnjeviæe se kao u dolu Gavaonskom, da uèini djelo svoje, neobièno djelo svoje, da svrši posao svoj, neobièan posao svoj.
22 And now, do not be willing to mock, lest your chains be tightened. For I have heard, from the Lord, the God of hosts, about the consummation and the abridgement concerning the entire earth.
Nemojte se dakle više potsmijevati da ne postanu jaèi okovi vaši, jer èuh od Gospoda Gospoda nad vojskama pogibao odreðenu svoj zemlji.
23 Pay close attention, and listen to my voice! Attend and hear my eloquence!
Slušajte, i èujte glas moj, pazite i èujte besjedu moju.
24 Would the plowman, after plowing all day so that he may sow, instead cut open and hoe his soil?
Ore li oraè svaki dan da posije? ili brazdi i povlaèi njivu svoju?
25 Will he not, when he has made the surface level, sow coriander, and scatter cumin, and plant wheat in rows, and barley, and millet, and vetch in their places?
Kad poravni ozgo, ne sije li grahor i kim? i ne meæe li pšenicu na najbolje mjesto, i jeèam na zgodno mjesto, i krupnik na njegovo mjesto?
26 For he will be instructed in judgment; his God will teach him.
I Bog ga njegov uèi i upuæuje kako æe raditi.
27 For coriander cannot be threshed with a saw, and a cartwheel cannot revolve over cumin. Instead, coriander is shaken out with a stick, and cumin with a staff.
Jer se grahor ne vrše branom, niti se toèak kolski obræe po kimu, nego se cijepom mlati grahor i kim prutom.
28 But grain for bread must be crushed. Truly, the thresher cannot thresh it unceasingly, and the cartwheel can neither disrupt it, nor break it with its surface.
Pšenica se vrše, ali neæe jednako vrijeæi niti æe je satrti toèkom kolskim ni zupcima razdrobiti.
29 And this has gone forth from the Lord, the God of hosts, so that he may accomplish his miraculous plan and magnify justice.
I to dolazi od Gospoda nad vojskama, koji je divan u savjetu, velik u mudrosti.
