Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Proroštvo o Babilonu koje vidje Izaija, sin Amosov.
2 Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
Na goletnu brdu dignite zastavu, vičite im iz sveg grla. Mašite rukom neka dođu na vrata kneževska.
3 I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
Zapovijed dadoh svetim svojim ratnicima, gnjevu svom pozvah svoje junake koji slave veličanstvo moje.
4 The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
Čuj! Žagor na gorama kao od silna naroda. Čuj! Buka kraljevstava, sakupljenih naroda. To Jahve nad Vojskama za boj vojsku pregleda.
5 They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
Iz daleka kraja, s granica neba dolaze oni - Jahve i oruđa gnjeva njegova - da svu zemlju poharaju.
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Kukajte, jer je blizu Jahvin dan, k'o pohara dolazi od Svemoćnog.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
I sve ruke stog' malakšu ... Svako ljudsko srce klone,
8 And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
strava ih je obrvala, trudovi boli već ih spopadaju i grče se k'o rodilja. U prepasti jedan drugog motre, lica su im poput plamena.
9 Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
Dolazi nesmiljeni Jahvin dan - gnjev i jarost - da u pustoš zemlju prometne, da istrijebi iz nje grešnike.
10 For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
Jer nebeske zvijezde a ni Štapci neće više sjati svjetlošću, pomrčat će sunce ishodeći i mjesec neće više svijetliti.
11 And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
Kaznit ću svijet za zloću, bezbožnike za bezakonje, dokrajčit ću ponos oholih, poniziti nadutost silnika.
12 I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Rjeđi će biti čovjek neg' žeženo zlato, rjeđi samrtnik od zlata ofirskog.
13 Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Nebesa ću potresti, maknut će se zemlja s mjesta od srdžbe Jahve nad Vojskama u dan kad se izlije gnjev njegov.
14 And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
I tada, kao gazela preplašena, kao ovce koje nitko ne prikuplja, svatko će se vratit' svom narodu, svatko će u zemlju svoju pobjeći.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Koga stignu, probost će ga: koga uhvate, mačem će sasjeći;
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
pred očima smrskat će im dojenčad, opljačkati kuće, silovati žene.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Gle, podižem na njih Medijce što ne cijene srebra i preziru zlato.
18 With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
Svi će mladići biti pokošeni, sve djevojke zatrte. Na plod utrobe neće se smilovati, nad djecom im se oko neće sažaliti.
19 And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
Babilon, ures kraljevstava, ures i ponos kaldejski, bit će k'o Sodoma i Gomora kad ih Bog zatrije.
20 It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
Nikad se više neće naseliti, od koljena do koljena ostat će nenapučen. Arapin ondje neće dizati šatora, nit' će pastiri ondje počivati.
21 But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
Počivat će ondje zvijeri pustinjske, sove će im napuniti kuće, nojevi će ondje stanovati, jarci plesati.
22 And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
Hijene će zavijati iz njegovih palača, a čaglji iz raskošnih dvorova... Vrijeme se njegovo bliži, dani mu se neće produžiti.
