Isaiah 29
1 Ah altar, altar of the citie that Dauid dwelt in: adde yere vnto yere: let them kill lambs.
Teško Arielu! Arielu, gradu što ga opkoli David! Nek' se niže godina na godinu, nek' se izredaju blagdani,
2 But I wil bring the altar into distresse, and there shalbe heauines and sorowe, and it shall be vnto me like an altar.
pa ću pritisnuti Ariel i nastat će jauk i lelek. Za mene ćeš biti Ariel,
3 And I wil besiege thee as a circle, and fight against thee on a mount, and will cast vp ramparts against thee.
opkolit ću te kao David, rovovima okružiti, suprot tebi nasipe ću dići.
4 So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speake out of the ground, and thy speach shalbe as out of the dust: thy voyce also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirite of diuination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.
Oboren govorit ćeš sa zemlje, iz praha mucat' riječju prigušenom, glas će ti se iz zemlje dizat' kao pokojnikov, iz praha ćeš šaptati besjedu.
5 Moreouer, the multitude of thy strangers shalbe like small dust, and the multitude of strong men shalbe as chaffe that passeth away, and it shall be in a moment, euen suddenly.
Kao sitna prašina bit će mnoštvo tvojih dušmana, kao pljeva razvijana - rulja silnika: i odjednom, u tren oka:
6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hostes with thunder, and shaking, and a great noyse, a whirlewinde, and a tempest, and a flame of a deuouring fire.
pohodit će te Jahve nad Vojskama grmljavinom, tutnjem, bukom velikom, vihorom, olujom i plamenim ognjem što proždire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against the altar, shalbe as a dreame or vision by night: euen all they that make the warre against it, and strong holdes against it, and lay siege vnto it.
Bit će k'o san, utvara noćna: mnoštvo svih naroda što vojuje s Arielom i svih onih koji zavojštiše na nj i na utvrde njegove i koji ga odasvud pritijesniše.
8 And it shalbe like as an hungry man dreameth, and beholde, he eateth: and when he awaketh, his soule is emptie: or like as a thirsty man dreameth, and loe, he is drinking, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is faint, and his soule longeth: so shall the multitude of all nations be that fight against mount Zion.
Bit će kao kad gladan sanja da jede, a probudi se prazna želuca; i kao kad žedan sanja da pije, pa se, iznemogao, suha grla probudi. Tako će se dogoditi mnoštvu naroda koji vojuju protiv Gore sionske.
9 Stay your selues, and wonder: they are blinde, and make you blinde: they are drunken but not with wine: they stagger, but not by strong drinke.
Stanite, skamenite se od čuda, oslijepite i obnevidite! Pijani su, ali ne od vina, posrću, ali ne od silna pića.
10 For the Lord hath couered you with a spirite of slumber, and hath shut vp your eyes: the Prophets, and your chiefe Seers hath he couered.
Jahve je izlio na vas duh obamrlosti, zatvorio je oči vaše - proroke, zastro glave vaše - vidioce.
11 And the vision of them all is become vnto you, as the wordes of a booke that is sealed vp, which they deliuer to one that can reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. Then shall he say, I can not: for it is sealed.
Zato će vam svako viđenje biti kao riječi u zapečaćenoj knjizi: dade li se kome tko zna čitati govoreći: “De, čitaj to!” - on će odgovoriti: “Ne mogu jer je zapečaćena.”
12 And the booke is giuen vnto him that can not reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. And he shall say, I can not reade.
A dade li se kome tko ne zna čitati govoreći: “Čitaj to!” - on će odvratiti: “Ne znam čitati.”
13 Therefore the Lord sayd, Because this people come neere vnto me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but haue remooued their heart farre from me, and their feare toward me was taught by the precept of men,
Jahve reče: “Jer mi narod ovaj samo ustima pristupa i samo me usnama časti, a srce mu je daleko od mene i njegovo štovanje naučena ljudska uredba,
14 Therefore behold, I wil againe doe a marueilous worke in this people, euen a marueilous worke, and a wonder: for the wisdome of their wise men shall perish, and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shalbe hid.
zato ću, evo, i dalje čudno postupati s ovim narodom - čudno i prečudno: i propast će mudrost njegovih mudraca, pomračit se umnost njegovih umnika.”
15 Wo vnto them that seeke deepe to hide their counsell from the Lord: for their workes are in darkenes, and they say, Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs?
Teško onima koji se od Jahve kriju da bi svoje sakrili namjere i koji u mraku djeluju i zbore: “Tko nas vidi i tko nas pozna?”
16 Your turning of deuises shall it not be esteemed as the potters clay? for shall the worke say of him that made it, Hee made me not? or the thing formed, say of him that facioned it, He had none vnderstanding?
Kolike li naopakosti vaše! Cijeni li se glina kao lončar, pa da djelo rekne svome tvorcu: “NIje me on načinio”? Ili lonac da rekne lončaru: “On ne razumije ništa”?
17 Is it not yet but a litle while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel? and Carmel shall be counted as a forest?
Neće li se naskoro Libanon u voćnjak pretvoriti, a voćnjak izroditi u šumu?
18 And in that day shall the deafe heare the wordes of the booke, and the eyes of the blinde shall see out of obscuritie, and out of darkenesse.
I čut će u onaj dan gluhi riječi knjige; oslobođene mraka i tmine, oči će slijepih vidjeti.
19 The meeke in the Lord shall receiue ioye againe, and the poore men shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.
A siromasi će se opet radovati u Jahvi, najbjedniji će klicat' Svecu Izraelovu,
20 For the cruel man shall cease, and the scornefull shalbe consumed: and all that hasted to iniquitie, shalbe cut off:
jer neće više biti silnika, nestat će podsmjevača, istrijebit će se svi koji zlo snuju:
21 Which made a man to sinne in ye worde, and tooke him in a snare: which reproued them in the gate, and made the iust to fall without cause.
oni koji riječju druge okrivljuju, oni koji na vratima sucu postavljaju zamku i nizašto obaraju pravednika.
22 Therefore thus sayth the Lord vnto the house of Iaakob, euen hee that redeemed Abraham, Iaakob shall not now be confounded, neither now shall his face be pale.
Zato ovako govori Jahve, Bog kuće Jakovljeve, koji otkupi Abrahama: “Neće se odsad više stidjeti Jakov i više mu neće lice blijedjeti,
23 But when he seeth his children, the worke of mine hands, in the mids of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the holy one of Iaakob, and shall feare the God of Israel.
jer kad vidi usred sebe djelo mojih ruku, svetit će ime moje.” Svetit će Sveca Jakovljeva, bojat će se Boga Izraelova.
24 Then they that erred in spirit, shall haue vnderstanding, and they that murmured, shall learne doctrine.
Zabludjeli duhom urazumit će se, a oni što mrmljaju primit će pouku.
