< Isaiah 17 >

1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.
Proroštvo o Damasku. Gle, prestat će Damask biti gradom i postat će hrpom ruševina;
2 The cities of Aroer shall be forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.
njegovi gradići, dovijek napušteni, bit će pašnjak stadima; ležat će u njima i nitko ih neće tjerati.
3 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Izgubit će Efrajim utvrde, a Damask kraljevstvo; ostatku Arama zbit će se što i slavi sinova Izraelovih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
4 And in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.
U onaj dan smanjit će se slava Jakovljeva, spast će salo tijela njegova.
5 And it shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.
Bit će k'o kad žetelac žito hvata, a ruka mu žanje klasje, kao kad se pabirče klasovi u refajimskoj dolini -
6 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord God of Israel.
ostat će samo pabirci; ili kao kad se otresa maslina: dvije-tri uljike sasvim na vrhu, četiri ili pet na granama drveta - riječ je Jahve, Boga Izraelova.
7 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke to the holy one of Israel.
U onaj dan čovjek će pogledati na svog Stvoritelja i upraviti oči k Svecu Izraelovu.
8 And hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.
Neće više gledati žrtvenika, djela svojih ruku, neće više gledati onoga što njegovi prsti stvoriše: ašere i sunčane stupove.
9 In that day shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.
U onaj će dan gradovi tvoji biti napušteni, kao što bjehu napušteni hivijski i amorejski kad ih ostaviše pred Izraelcima, i opustjet će,
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:
jer si zaboravio Boga svog spasenja i nisi se spomenuo Stijene svoje snage. Stog' i sadiš ljupke biljke i strane presađuješ mladice;
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.
u dan kad ih posadiš, one izrastu, a ujutro procvatu tvoje sadnice, al' propada žetva u dan nevolje, u dan boli neizlječive.
12 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie waters.
Jao, buka naroda mnogobrojnih; buče kao što buči more; šum naroda koji šume k'o što šumore silne vode.
13 The people shall make a sounde like the noise of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee farre off, and shalbe chased as the chaffe of the mountaines before the winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.
Šume narodi kao što silne vode šumore, al' kad On im zaprijeti, bježe daleko, po gorama razvijani kao pljeva na vjetru, k'o prašina u vihoru.
14 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.
Navečer eto straha; prije svanuća više ga nema: to je sudba onih koji nas plijene i kob onih što nas pljačkaju.
