< Isaiah 18 >
1 Ha! land shadowing with wings, which art beyond the rivers of Cush,
Teško zemlji koja sjen èini krilima s one strane rijeka Etiopskih;
2 that sendest ambassadors over the sea, and in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, [saying, ] Go, swift messengers, to a nation scattered and ravaged, to a people terrible from their existence and thenceforth; to a nation of continued waiting and of treading down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Koja šalje poslanike preko mora, u laðama od site po vodama, govoreæi: idite, brzi glasnici, k narodu rasijanu i oplijenjenu, k narodu strašnu otkako je dosad, k narodu razmjerenu i pogaženu, kojemu zemlju raznose rijeke.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when a trumpet is blown, hear ye!
Svi koji živite na svijetu i stanujete na zemlji, kad se digne zastava na gorama, gledajte, i kad zatrubi truba, slušajte.
4 For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: I will take my rest, and I will observe from my dwelling-place like clear heat upon herbs, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: umiriæu se i gledaæu iz stana svojega, kao vruæina koja suši poslije dažda i kao rosan oblak o vruæini žetvenoj.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-knives, and take away [and] cut down the branches.
Jer prije berbe, kad napupe pupci i od cvijeta postane grozd i stane zreti, okresaæe odvode kosijerom, i uzeæe lozu i otsjeæi.
6 They shall be left together unto the mountain birds of prey, and to the beasts of the earth; and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Sve æe se ostaviti pticama gorskim i zvijerima zemaljskim; i ptice æe ljetovati na njima, a svakojake zvijeri zemaljske zimovaæe.
7 In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts of a people scattered and ravaged, — and from a people terrible from their existence and thenceforth, a nation of continued waiting and of treading down, whose land the rivers have spoiled, ...to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
Tada æe se donijeti dar Gospodu nad vojskama od naroda rasijanoga i oplijenjenoga, od naroda strašnoga otkako je dosad, od naroda razmjerenoga i pogaženoga, kojemu zemlju raznose rijeke, k mjestu imena Gospoda nad vojskama, ka gori Sionskoj.
