Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city against which David fought: year has been added to year, the solemnities have unfolded.
Teško Arielu! Arielu, gradu što ga opkoli David! Nek' se niže godina na godinu, nek' se izredaju blagdani,
2 And I will surround Ariel with siege works, and it will be in sorrow and mourning, and it will be like Ariel to me.
pa ću pritisnuti Ariel i nastat će jauk i lelek. Za mene ćeš biti Ariel,
3 And I will surround you like a sphere all around you, and I will raise up a rampart against you, and I will set up fortifications to blockade you.
opkolit ću te kao David, rovovima okružiti, suprot tebi nasipe ću dići.
4 You will be brought low. You will speak from the ground, and your eloquence will be heard from the dirt. And, from the ground, your voice will be like that of the python, and your eloquence will mumble from the dirt.
Oboren govorit ćeš sa zemlje, iz praha mucat' riječju prigušenom, glas će ti se iz zemlje dizat' kao pokojnikov, iz praha ćeš šaptati besjedu.
5 And the multitude of those who fan you will be like fine dust. And the multitude of those who have prevailed against you will be like embers fading away.
Kao sitna prašina bit će mnoštvo tvojih dušmana, kao pljeva razvijana - rulja silnika: i odjednom, u tren oka:
6 And this will happen suddenly and swiftly. It will be visited from the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquakes, and with the great noise of a whirlwind and a storm, and with a flame of devouring fire.
pohodit će te Jahve nad Vojskama grmljavinom, tutnjem, bukom velikom, vihorom, olujom i plamenim ognjem što proždire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that have struggled against Ariel will be like the dream of a vision by night, along with all who have battled, and besieged, and prevailed against it.
Bit će k'o san, utvara noćna: mnoštvo svih naroda što vojuje s Arielom i svih onih koji zavojštiše na nj i na utvrde njegove i koji ga odasvud pritijesniše.
8 And it will be like one who is hungry and dreams of eating, but, when he has been awakened, his soul is empty. And it will be like one who is thirsty and dreams of drinking, but, after he has been awakened, he still languishes in thirst, and his soul is empty. So shall the multitude of all the nations be, who have struggled against Mount Zion.
Bit će kao kad gladan sanja da jede, a probudi se prazna želuca; i kao kad žedan sanja da pije, pa se, iznemogao, suha grla probudi. Tako će se dogoditi mnoštvu naroda koji vojuju protiv Gore sionske.
9 Be stupefied and in wonder! Shake and quiver! Be inebriated, but not from wine! Stagger, but not from drunkenness!
Stanite, skamenite se od čuda, oslijepite i obnevidite! Pijani su, ali ne od vina, posrću, ali ne od silna pića.
10 For the Lord has mixed for you a spirit of deep sleep. He will close your eyes. He will cover your prophets and leaders, who see visions.
Jahve je izlio na vas duh obamrlosti, zatvorio je oči vaše - proroke, zastro glave vaše - vidioce.
11 And the vision of all will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which, when they have given it to someone who knows how to read, they will say, “Read this,” but he will respond, “I cannot; for it has been sealed.”
Zato će vam svako viđenje biti kao riječi u zapečaćenoj knjizi: dade li se kome tko zna čitati govoreći: “De, čitaj to!” - on će odgovoriti: “Ne mogu jer je zapečaćena.”
12 But if the book is given to someone who does not know how to read, and it is said to him, “Read,” then he will respond, “I do not know how to read.”
A dade li se kome tko ne zna čitati govoreći: “Čitaj to!” - on će odvratiti: “Ne znam čitati.”
13 And the Lord said: Since this people have drawn near to me only with their mouth, and their lips glorify me while their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is based on the commandments and doctrines of men,
Jahve reče: “Jer mi narod ovaj samo ustima pristupa i samo me usnama časti, a srce mu je daleko od mene i njegovo štovanje naučena ljudska uredba,
14 for this reason, behold, I will proceed to accomplish a wonder for this people, a great and mystifying miracle. For wisdom will perish from their wise, and the understanding of their prudent will be concealed.
zato ću, evo, i dalje čudno postupati s ovim narodom - čudno i prečudno: i propast će mudrost njegovih mudraca, pomračit se umnost njegovih umnika.”
15 Woe to you who use the depths of the heart, so that you may hide your intentions from the Lord. Their works are done in darkness, and so they say: “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
Teško onima koji se od Jahve kriju da bi svoje sakrili namjere i koji u mraku djeluju i zbore: “Tko nas vidi i tko nas pozna?”
16 This intention of yours is perverse. It is as if the clay were to plan against the potter, or as if the work were to say to its maker: “You did not make me.” Or it is as if what has been formed were to say to the one who formed it, “You do not understand.”
Kolike li naopakosti vaše! Cijeni li se glina kao lončar, pa da djelo rekne svome tvorcu: “NIje me on načinio”? Ili lonac da rekne lončaru: “On ne razumije ništa”?
17 In not more than a little while and a brief time, Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and a fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.
Neće li se naskoro Libanon u voćnjak pretvoriti, a voćnjak izroditi u šumu?
18 And in that day, the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind will see.
I čut će u onaj dan gluhi riječi knjige; oslobođene mraka i tmine, oči će slijepih vidjeti.
19 And the meek will increase their rejoicing in the Lord, and the poor among men will exult in the Holy One of Israel.
A siromasi će se opet radovati u Jahvi, najbjedniji će klicat' Svecu Izraelovu,
20 For the one who was prevailing has failed, the one who was mocking has been consumed, and all those who were standing guard over iniquity have been cut down.
jer neće više biti silnika, nestat će podsmjevača, istrijebit će se svi koji zlo snuju:
21 For they caused men to sin by a word, and they supplanted him who argued against them at the gates, and they turned away from justice in vain.
oni koji riječju druge okrivljuju, oni koji na vratima sucu postavljaju zamku i nizašto obaraju pravednika.
22 Because of this, thus says the Lord, he who has redeemed Abraham, to the house of Jacob: From now on, Jacob will not be confounded; from now on his countenance will not blush with shame.
Zato ovako govori Jahve, Bog kuće Jakovljeve, koji otkupi Abrahama: “Neće se odsad više stidjeti Jakov i više mu neće lice blijedjeti,
23 Instead, when he sees his children, they will be the work of my hands in his midst, sanctifying my name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will preach the God of Israel.
jer kad vidi usred sebe djelo mojih ruku, svetit će ime moje.” Svetit će Sveca Jakovljeva, bojat će se Boga Izraelova.
24 And those who had gone astray in spirit will know understanding, and those who had murmured will learn the law.
Zabludjeli duhom urazumit će se, a oni što mrmljaju primit će pouku.
