Isaiah 66
1 This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is where I place my feet. So where will this house be that you're going to build for me? Where will I lie down to rest?
Ovako govori Jahve: “Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama! Kakvu kuću da mi sagradite i gdje da bude mjesto mog prebivališta?
2 I made everything; that's how it all came into existence, says the Lord. Those I look favorably on are humble and repentant, and they tremble when I speak.
TÓa sve je moja ruka načinila i sve je moje” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ali na koga svoj pogled svraćam? Na siromaha i čovjeka duha ponizna koji od moje riječi dršće.
3 When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,
Ima ih koji kolju bika, ali i ljude ubijaju; žrtvuju ovcu, ali i psu vrat lome. Netko prinosi žrtvu, ali i krv svinjsku; prinose kad, ali časte i kipove. Kao što oni izabraše svoje putove i duši im se mile gnusobe njihove,
4 I will also choose to punish them severely and to terrify them, because I called out to them but no one answered; I spoke to them, but no one listened. Instead they did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
tako ću i ja izabrati za njih nevolje nesmiljene, pustit ću na njih ono čega se plaše. Jer zvao sam, a nitko se ne odazva, govorio sam, a nitko ne posluša, nego su činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabrali ono što mi nije po volji.”
5 Listen to what the Lord has to say, those of you who tremble when he speaks. This is what some of your people who hate you and throw you out have said, “Let the Lord be glorified, so we can see how happy you are!” but it's them who are going to be humiliated.
Poslušajte riječ Jahvinu, vi koji od njegove riječi dršćete. “Govore braća vaša koja na vas mrze i odbacuju vas radi moga imena: 'Neka se proslavi Jahve, pa da radost vašu vidimo.' Ali oni će biti postiđeni.”
6 Hear all the shouting from the city! Hear all the noise from the Temple! It's the sound of the Lord giving his enemies back what they deserve.
Čuj! Buka iz grada, glas iz Hrama! Glas je to Jahve koji uzvraća svojim neprijateljima.
7 She gave birth before she went into labor, she delivered a boy before the pains came.
Prije neg' bolove oćutje, eto je rodila. Prije neg' trudove osjeti, porodi dječaka.
8 Who has ever heard of anything like this? Who has seen this kind of thing before? Can a country be delivered in a day, can a nation be born in a moment? Yet as soon as Zion went into labor, she gave birth to her children.
Tko je takvo što čuo, tko je takvo što vidio? Može li se zemlja u jednom danu napučiti? Može li se narod odjednom roditi? A tek što je osjetila trudove, Sionka rodi sinove!
9 Would I bring a baby to the point of birth and then not deliver it? the Lord asks. Would I who deliver the baby stop it from being born? the Lord asks again.
“Zar bih ja otvorio krilo materino a da ono ne rodi?” - govori Jahve. “Zar bih ja, koji dajem rađanje, zatvorio maternicu?” - kaže Bog tvoj.
10 Celebrate with Jerusalem and be happy for her, everyone who loves her; celebrate with her and sing for joy, everyone who mourns over her.
Veselite se s Jeruzalemom, kličite zbog njega svi koji ga ljubite! Radujte se, radujte s njime svi koji ste nad njim tugovali!
11 Like a baby you can nurse at her breasts that bring comfort, drinking deeply and being satisfied by all she has to give.
Nadojite se i nasitite na dojkama utjehe njegove da se nasišete i nasladite na grudima krepčine njegove.
12 This is what the Lord says: Watch! I'm going to give her peace and prosperity like a flowing river, the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse and be carried on her hip and played with on her knees.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, mir ću na njih kao rijeku svratiti i kao potok nabujali bogatstvo naroda. Dojenčad ću njegovu na rukama nositi i milovati na koljenima.
13 Like a mother comforting her child, I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.
Kao što mati tješi sina, tako ću i ja vas utješiti - utješit ćete se u Jeruzalemu.”
14 When you see this happening, you'll be happy deep inside, and you'll prosper like growing grass. The Lord's power will be recognized as blessing his servants and cursing his enemies.
Kad to vidite, srce će vam se radovati i procvast će vam kosti k'o mlada trava. Očitovat će se ruka Jahvina na njegovim slugama i gnjev nad neprijateljima njegovim.
15 Look! The Lord is coming surrounded by fire, his chariots whirling like the wind, to express his anger with fury, to give his reprimand in flames of fire.
Jer, evo, dolazi Jahve s ognjem - bojna su mu kola poput vihora - da u jarosti gnjev svoj iskali i prijetnje svoje u ognju žarkome.
16 The Lord will execute judgment on everyone by fire and by his sword. There will be many killed by the Lord.
Da, sudit će Jahve ognjem i mačem svakom smrtniku: pobijenih Jahvinih mnoštvo će biti.
17 Those who dedicate themselves and make themselves pure in order to enter the sacred gardens, to worship the idol placed in the center, and to eat pork and vermin and rats and other disgusting things—they will all die together, says the Lord.
Oni koji se posvećuju i čiste u vrtovima iza onog jednog u sredini, koji jedu svinjetinu, nečisto i miševe - svi će zajedno izginuti, riječ je Jahvina.
18 I know what they're doing and what they're thinking. I will soon come to gather all nations and peoples of different languages. They will come and see my glory.
Ja dobro poznajem njihova djela i namjere njihove. “Dolazim da saberem sve puke i jezike, i oni će doći i vidjeti moju Slavu!
19 I will give them a sign, and I will send some who survive to the nations. They will go to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant lands that haven't heard about me or seen my glory. They will announce my glory among the nations.
Postavit ću im znak i poslat ću preživjele od njih k narodima u Taršiš, Put, Lud, Mošek, Roš, Tubal i Javan - k dalekim otocima koji nisu čuli glasa o meni ni vidjeli moje Slave - i oni će naviještati Slavu moju narodima.
20 They will bring back all your people from every nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will come on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels, says the Lord. They will bring them in the same way the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the Lord's Temple using vessels that are ceremonially clean.
I dovest će svu vašu braću između svih naroda kao prinos Jahvi - na konjima, na bojnim kolima, nosilima, na mazgama i jednogrbim devama - na Svetu goru svoju u Jeruzalemu” - govori Jahve - “kao što sinovi Izraelovi prinose prinos u čistim posudama u Domu Jahvinu.
21 I will choose some of them as priests and Levites, says the Lord.
I uzet ću sebi između njih svećenike, levite” - govori Jahve.
22 As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will last forever, so your descendants and your reputation will also last forever, says the Lord.
“Jer, kao što će nova nebesa i zemlja nova, koju ću stvoriti, trajati preda mnom” - riječ je Jahvina - “tako će vam ime i potomstvo trajati.
23 Everyone will come and worship me, from one New Moon to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, says the Lord.
Od mlađaka do mlađaka, od subote do subote, dolazit će svi ljudi da se poklone pred licem mojim” - govori Jahve.
24 They will go out and see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me. The worms that eat them won't die, the fire that burns them won't go out, and everyone who sees them will be horrified.
Izlazeći, gledat ću trupla ljudi koji se od mene odmetnuše: crv njihov neće umrijeti i njihov se oganj neće ugasiti - bit će na gadost svim ljudima.
