< Isaiah 18 >

1 Oh, the lande shadowing with winges, which is beyond the riuers of Ethiopia,
Jao zemlji krilatih kukaca s one strane rijeka kuških,
2 Sending ambassadours by the Sea, euen in vessels of reedes vpon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, vnto a terrible people from their beginning euen hitherto: a nation by litle and litle, euen troden vnder foote, whose land the floods haue spoyled.
tebi koja šalješ morem glasnike i vodom u čamcima rogoznim. Idite, brze skoroteče, k narodu stasitu, tamnoputu, k narodu kog se boje odvajkada, narodu žilavu, zavojevaču, čija je zemlja rijekama izbrazdana.
3 Al ye the inhabitants of ye world and dwellers in the earth, shall see when he setteth vp a signe in the mountaines, and when he bloweth the trumpet, ye shall heare.
Svi stanovnici kruga zemaljskoga, i vi, žitelji zemlje, kad se zastava na brdu digne, gledajte; kad rog zatrubi, slušajte.
4 For so the Lord saide vnto me, I will rest and beholde in my tabernacle, as the heate drying vp the rayne, and as a cloude of dewe in the heate of haruest.
Jer ovako mi govori Jahve: “Mirno ću gledati s mjesta svojega, k'o prozirna žega podnevna, k'o rosan oblak za vrućine žetvene.
5 For afore the haruest when the floure is finished, and the fruite is riping in the floure, then he shall cut downe the branches with hookes, and shall take away, and cut off the boughes:
Prije berbe, kad loza ocvate i cvijet u grozdove dozri, nožima će posjeći mladice, povezati, ukloniti grane.
6 They shall be left together vnto the foules of the mountaines, and to the beastes of the earth: for the foule shall sommer vpon it, and euery beast of the earth shall winter vpon it.
Svi će biti ostavljeni grabljivicama gorskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Grabljivice će na njima ljetovati, zvijeri zemaljske zimovati.”
7 At that time shall a present be brought vnto the Lord of hostes, (a people that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, and of a terrible people from their beginning hitherto, a nation, by litle and litle euen troden vnder foote, whose land the riuers haue spoyled) to the place of the Name of the Lord of hostes, euen the mount Zion.
U ono će vrijeme narod stasit i tamnoputan, narod kojega se boje odvajkada, narod žilav i zavojevački, čija je zemlja izbrazdana rijekama, donositi darove Jahvi nad Vojskama, k mjestu imena Jahve nad Vojskama - na goru Sion.
