Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
Teško sinovima odmetničkim! - riječ je Jahvina. Oni provode osnove koje nisu moje, sklapaju saveze koji nisu po mom duhu i grijeh na grijeh gomilaju.
2 who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, — to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Zaputiše se u Egipat, ne pitajući usta moja, da se uteku faraonovu zaklonu i da se zaštite u sjeni Egipta.
3 For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
Zaklon faraonov bit će na sramotu, i na ruglo zaštita u sjeni Egipta.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Eno mu knezova već u Soanu, podanici stigoše u Hanes:
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
svi će se oni razočarati u narodu beskorisnom, neće im biti na pomoć ni na korist, već na sramotu i porugu.
6 — The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
Proroštvo o negepskim životinjama. Kroza zemlju nevolje i bijede, lavice i lava koji riču, ljutice i zmaja krilatog, nose oni blago na leđima magaraca i bogatstvo na grbi deva, nose ga narodu beskorisnom.
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
Jer prazna je i ništavna pomoć Egipta, zato ga i zovemo: Rahab - danguba.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
Ded napiši na ploču i zapiši u knjigu da vremenima budućim svjedočanstvo ostane.
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
Ovo je narod odmetnički, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neće da slušaju Zakon Jahvin.
10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
Vidovitima oni govore: “Okanite se viđenja!” a vidiocima: “Ne prorokujte istinu! Govorite nam što je ugodno, opsjene nam prorokujte!
11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
Skrenite s puta, zastranite sa staze, uklonite nam s očiju Sveca Izraelova!”
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
Stog' ovako zbori Svetac Izraelov: “Jer riječ ovu odbacujete, a uzdate se u opačinu i prijevaru i na njih se oslanjate,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
grijeh će vam taj biti poput pukotine, visoko na zidu izbočene, koja prijeti rušenjem.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
Da se sruši k'o što se glinen sud razbije, slupan nemilice, te mu se među krhotinama ne nađe ni rbine, žerave da uzmeš s ognjišta il' zagrabiš vode iz studenca.”
15 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod, Svetac Izraelov: “Mir i obraćenje - spas vam je, u smirenu uzdanju snaga je vaša. Ali vi ne htjedoste.
16 And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, — therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, — therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Rekoste: 'Ne! Pobjeći ćemo na konjima!' - i zato, bježat ćete! 'Na brzim ćemo konjima jahati!' - i zato, bit će brži vaši neprijatelji!”
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
Pobjeći će vas tisuća kad jedan zaprijeti, zaprijete li petorica, u bijeg ćete nagnut' dok vas ne preostane k'o kopljača na vrhu gore il' na brijegu zastava.
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Al' Jahve čeka čas da vam se smiluje, i stog izglÄedÄa da vam milost iskaže, jer Jahve je Bog pravedan - blago svima koji njega čekaju.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
Da, puče sionski koji živiš u Jeruzalemu, više ne plači! Čim začuje vapaj tvoj, odmah će ti se smilovati; čim te čuje, uslišit će te.
20 And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Hranit će vas Gospod kruhom tjeskobe, pojiti vodom nevolje, al' se više neće kriti tvoj Učitelj - oči će ti gledati Učitelja tvoga.
21 And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
I uši će tvoje čuti riječ gdje iza tebe govori: “To je put, njime idite”, bilo da vam je krenuti nadesno ili nalijevo.
22 And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
Smatrat ćeš nečistima svoje srebrne kumire i pozlatu svojih kipova; odbacit ćeš ih kao nečist i reći im: “Napolje!”
23 And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
A on će dati kišu tvojem sjemenu što ga posiješ u zemlju, i kruh kojim zemlja urodi bit će obilat i hranjiv. Stoka će tvoja pasti u onaj dan po prostranim pašnjacima.
24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Volovi i magarci što obrađuju zemlju jest će osoljenu krmu, ovijanu lopatom i vijačom.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
I na svakoj gori i na svakome povišenom brijegu bit će potoka i rječica - u dan silnoga pokolja kad se kule budu rušile.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
Tada će svjetlost mjesečeva biti kao svjetlost sunčana, a svjetlost će sunčana postati sedam puta jača, kao svjetlost sedam dana - u dan kad Jahve iscijeli prijelom svojemu narodu, izliječi rane svojih udaraca.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger — a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
Gle, ime Jahve izdaleka dolazi, gnjev njegov gori, dim je neizdrživ. Usne su mu pune jarosti, jezik mu oganj što proždire.
28 and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
Dah mu je kao potok nabujali što do grla seže. On dolazi da prosije narode rešetom zatornim, da stavi uzde zavodljive u čeljusti naroda.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Tad će vam pjesma biti kao u noćima blagdanskim, kad su srca vesela kao u onoga koji uza zvuke frule hodočasti na Goru Jahvinu, k Stijeni Izraelovoj.
30 And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
Jahve će zagrmjet glasom veličajnim i pokazat ruku svoju što udara u jarosnu gnjevu, sred ognja zatornog, iz olujna pljuska i krupÄe kamene.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
Od glasa Jahvina prepast će se Asur, šibom ošinut.
32 And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
I kad god ga udari šiba kaznena, kojom će ga Jahve išibati, nek' se oglase bubnjevi i citare - u sav jek boja on s njima ratuje!
33 For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Odavna je pripravljen Tofet za Moleka - lomača visoka, široka, mnogo ognja, mnogo drvlja. Dah gnjeva Jahvina, kao potok sumporni, njega će spaliti.
