Isaiah 65
1 I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
Potražiše me koji ne pitahu za me, nađoše me koji me ne tražahu; rekoh: “Evo me! Evo me!” narodu koji ne prizivaše ime moje.
2 I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
Svagda sam pružao ruku narodu odmetničkom, koji hodi putem zlim, za mislima svojim,
3 These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
narodu koji me bez prestanka u lice srdi: žrtvuju po vrtovima, kad prinose na opekama,
4 They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
na grobovima stanuju i noće na skrovitim mjestima, jedu svinjetinu, meću u zdjele jela nečista.
5 They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
I još govore: “Ukloni se! Ne prilazi mi da te ne posvetim.” Oni su mi dim u nosu, oganj što gori povazdan.
6 Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
Evo, sve je napisano preda mnom: neću ušutjet' dok im ne platim, dok im ne platim u njedra,
7 I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
za bezakonja vaša i vaših otaca, sva zajedno - govori Jahve. Koji su prinosili kad na gorama i pogrđivali me na brežuljcima - izmjerit ću im u krilo plaću za djela prijašnja.
8 This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Kao što o soku u grozdu vele: 'Ne uništavajte ga, u njemu je blagoslov!' tako ću učiniti i ja radi slugu svojih, neću sve uništiti.
9 I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
Izvest ću iz Jakova potomstvo, a iz Jude baštinika gora svojih; baštinit će ih odabranici moji, i moje će se sluge ondje naseliti.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
Šaron će postati pašnjak ovcama, a nizina akorska počivalište govedima - narodu mojem koji mene traži.
11 But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
A vi koji ste Jahvu ostavili, koji ste zaboravili Svetu goru moju, koji pripremate stol Gadu, koji Meniju naljev lijevate,
12 I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
za mač sam vas odredio - past ćete ničice da vas kolju. Jer zvao sam vas, a vi se niste odazvali, govorio sam, a vi niste slušali, nego ste činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabirali ste što mi nije po volji.”
13 So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
Stog ovako Jahve Gospod govori: “Evo, sluge će moje jesti, a vi ćete gladovati. Evo, sluge će moje piti, a vi ćete žeđati. Evo, sluge će se moje veseliti, a vi ćete se stidjeti.
14 Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
Evo, sluge će se moje radovati od sreće u srcu, a vi ćete vikati od boli u srcu i kukati duše slomljene!
15 Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
Ime ćete svoje ostaviti za kletvu mojim izabranicima: 'Tako te ubio Jahve!' A sluge svoje on će zvati drugim imenom.
16 Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
Tko se u zemlji bude blagoslivljao, nek' se blagoslivlje Bogom vjernim. I tko se u zemlji bude kleo, nek' se kune Bogom vjernim. Jer prijašnje će nevolje biti zaboravljene, od očiju mojih bit će sakrivene.
17 Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
Jer, evo, ja stvaram nova nebesa i novu zemlju. Prijašnje se više neće spominjati niti će vam na um dolaziti.
18 Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
Veselite se i dovijeka kličite zbog onoga što ja stvaram; jer, evo, od Jeruzalema stvaram klicanje, od naroda njegova radost.
19 I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
I klicat ću nad Jeruzalemom, radovat' se nad svojim narodom. U njemu više neće čuti ni plača ni vapaja.
20 No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
U njemu više neće biti novorođenčeta koje živi malo dana ni starca koji ne bi godina svojih navršio: najmlađi će umrijet' kao stogodišnjak, a tko ne doživi stotinu godina prokletim će se smatrati.
21 They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
Gradit će kuće i stanovat' u njima, saditi vinograde i uživati rod njihov.
22 No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
Neće se više graditi da drugi stanuju ni saditi da drugi uživa: vijek naroda moga bit će k'o vijek drveta, izabranici moji dugo će uživati plodove ruku svojih.
23 They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
Neće se zalud mučiti i neće rađati za smrt preranu, jer će oni s potomcima svojim biti rod blagoslovljenika Jahvinih.
24 I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
Prije nego me zazovu, ja ću im se odazvat'; još će govoriti, a ja ću ih već uslišiti.
25 The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
Vuk i jagnje zajedno će pasti, lav će jesti slamu k'o govedo; al' će se zmija prahom hraniti. Nitko neće činiti zla ni štete na svoj Svetoj gori mojoj” - govori Jahve.
