Isaiah 27
1 At that time the Lord will take his sharp, large, and strong sword, and punish Leviathan, the slithering serpent, and Leviathan, the coiled serpent, and he will kill the sea dragon.
Tada æe Gospod pokarati maèem svojim ljutijem i velikim i jakim levijatana, prugu zmiju, i levijatana, krivuljastu zmiju, i ubiæe zmaja koji je u moru.
2 At that time, sing about a beautiful vineyard.
Tada pjevajte o vinogradu koji raða crvenijem vinom:
3 I, the Lord, take care of it, watering it often. I guard it night and day so that nobody can damage it.
Ja Gospod èuvam ga, u svako doba zaljevaæu ga; dan noæ èuvaæu ga da ga ko ne ošteti.
4 I'm not angry anymore. If there are thorns and brambles I would go and fight them, burning them all up,
Nema gnjeva u mene; ko æe staviti u boj nasuprot meni èkalj i trnje? ja æu pogaziti i spaliti sve.
5 Otherwise they should come to me for protection. They should make their peace with me, yes, make their peace with me.
Ili neka se uhvati za silu moju da uèini mir sa mnom; uèiniæe mir sa mnom.
6 In the future the descendants of Jacob will be like a tree taking root. Israel will flower and send out shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit!
Jednom æe se ukorijeniti Jakov, procvjetaæe i uzrasti Izrailj, i napuniæe vasiljenu plodom.
7 Has the Lord hit Israel as he hit those that attacked them? Were they killed like their killers were killed?
Je li ga udario onako kako je udario one koji njega udaraše? je li ga ubio onako kako su ubijeni oni koje je ubio?
8 You dealt with them by sending them into exile, by banishing them. He drove them away with his powerful force, like when the east wind blows.
S mjerom ga je karao, kad ga je odbacio, kad ga je odnio silnijem vjetrom svojim istoènijem.
9 Through this experience Jacob's guilt will be forgiven. The removal of their sins will come to fruition when they take all the pagan altar stones and crush them to pieces like chalk—no Asherah poles or altars of incense will be left standing.
Zato æe se tijem oèistiti bezakonje Jakovljevo i to æe biti sva korist što æe se uzeti grijeh njegov kad sve kamenje oltarno razmetne kao razdrobljeno kreèno kamenje i ne bude više gajeva ni sunèanijeh likova,
10 The fortified city will be abandoned, its houses as empty and lonely as a desert. Cattle will graze and rest there, stripping bare the branches of its trees.
Jer æe tvrdi grad opustjeti i biæe stan ostavljen i zanemaren kao pustinja; ondje æe pasti tele i ondje æe lijegati, i poješæe mu grane.
11 Their dry branches are broken off and used by women to make fires. This is a people that doesn't have any sense, so their Maker won't feel sorry for them, and their Creator won't help them.
Kad se posuše grane, polomiæe se; žene æe dolaziti i ložiti ih na oganj. Jer je narod nerazuman; zato ga neæe žaliti koji ga je stvorio, i koji ga je sazdao neæe se smilovati na nj.
12 At that time the Lord will thresh the grain harvested from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered up one by one.
U to æe vrijeme Gospod ovijati od obale rijeke do potoka Misirskoga, a vi, sinovi Izrailjevi, sabraæete se jedan po jedan.
13 At that time a loud trumpet will sound, and those who were dying in Assyria will return along with those exiled in Egypt. They will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
I tada æe se zatrubiti u veliku trubu, i koji se bjehu izgubili u zemlji Asirskoj i koji bijahu zagnani u zemlju Misirsku, doæi æe i klanjaæe se Gospodu na svetoj gori u Jerusalimu.
