Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoylest, and wast not spoyled: and doest wickedly, and they did not wickedly against thee: when thou shalt cease to spoyle, thou shalt be spoyled: when thou shalt make an ende of doing wickedly, they shall doe wickedly against thee.
Teško tebi koji nepustošen pustošiš, koji pljačkaš nepljačkan, kad prestaneš, tebe će opustošiti, opljačkat' te kad prestaneš pljačkati.
2 O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs, wee haue waited for thee: be thou, which waste their arme in the morning, our helpe also in time of trouble.
Jahve, smiluj nam se, u te se uzdamo! Budi mišica naša svako jutro, naš spas u doba nevolje.
3 At the noise of the tumult, the people fled: at thine exalting the nations were scattered.
Od silna tutnja pobjegoše narodi, ti ustade, raspršiše se puci
4 And your spoyle shall be gathered like the gathering of caterpillers: and he shall go against him like the leaping of grashoppers.
i plijen se skuplja kao što se kupe šaške, na nj će navaliti kao jato skakavaca.
5 The Lord is exalted: for hee dwelleth on hie: he hath filled Zion with iudgement and iustice.
Uzvišen je Jahve jer u visini stoluje, on puni Sion pravom i pravednošću.
6 And there shall be stabilitie of thy times, strength, saluation, wisdome and knowledge: for the feare of the Lord shalbe his treasure.
Pouzdan je tvoj vijek: mudrost i znanje spasonosno su blago - a strah Gospodnji njegovo bogatstvo.
7 Behold, their messengers shall cry without, and ye ambassadours of peace shall weepe bitterly.
Gle, stanovništvo Arielovo kuka po ulicama, glasnici mironosni plaču gorko.
8 The pathes are waste: the wayfaring man ceaseth: hee hath broken the couenant: hee hath contemned the cities: he regarded no man.
Opustješe ceste, s putova nesta putnika; raskidaju se savezi, preziru se svjedoci, ni prema kome nema obzira.
9 The earth mourneth and fainteth: Lebanon is ashamed, and hewen downe: Sharon is like a wildernes, and Bashan is shaken and Carmel.
Gine zemlja u žalosti, u stidu vene Libanon. Šaron je kao stepa, Bašan i Karmel ogolješe.
10 Now will I arise, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift vp my selfe.
“Sada ću ustati”, veli Jahve, “sada ću se dići, sada uzvisiti.
11 Ye shall conceiue chaffe, and bring forth stubble: the fire of your breath shall deuoure you.
Začeste sijeno, rodit ćete slamu; dah moj proždrijet će vas kao oganj.
12 And the people shall be as the burning of lime: and as the thornes cut vp, shall they be burnt in the fire.
Narodi će biti sažgani u vapno, kao posječeno trnje što gori u vatri.
13 Heare, yee that are farre off, what I haue done, and ye that are neere, know my power.
Čujte, vi koji ste daleko, što sam učinio, a vi koji ste blizu poznajte mi snagu!”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraide: a feare is come vpon the hypocrites: who among vs shall dwel with the deuouring fire? who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings?
Na Sionu strepe grešnici, trepet spopada bezbožnika: “Tko će od nas opstati pred ognjem zatornim, tko će od nas opstati pred žarom vječnim?”
15 Hee that walketh in iustice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gaine of oppression, shaking his handes from taking of gifts, stopping his eares from hearing of blood, and shutting his eyes from seeing euill.
Onaj koji hodi u pravdi i pravo govori, koji prezire dobit od prinude, koji otresa ruku da ne primi mito, koji zatiskuje uši da ne čuje o krvoproliću, koji zatvara oči da ne vidi zlo:
16 He shall dwell on hie: his defence shall be the munitions of rockes: bread shalbe giuen him, and his waters shalbe sure.
on će prebivati u visinama, tvrđe na stijenama bit će mu utočište, imat će dosta kruha i vode će mu svagda dotjecati.
17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his glory: they shall beholde the lande farre off.
Oči će ti gledati kralja u njegovoj ljepoti, promatrat će zemlju nepreglednu.
18 Thine heart shall meditate feare, Where is the scribe? where is the receiuer? where is hee that counted the towres?
Srce će ti u strahu misliti: Gdje li je onaj što je brojio, gdje li onaj što je mjerio, gdje li onaj što je prebrajao mladiće?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a darke speache, that thou canst not perceiue, and of a stammering tongue that thou canst not vnderstande.
Nećeš više vidjeti divljega naroda, naroda nerazumljiva i neshvatljiva govora, jezika strana što ga nitko ne razumije.
20 Looke vpon Zion the citie of our solemne feastes: thine eyes shall see Ierusalem a quiet habitation, a Tabernacle that can not be remooued: and the stakes thereof can neuer be taken away, neither shall any of the cordes thereof be broken.
Pogledaj na Sion, grad blagdana naših: oči će ti Jeruzalem vidjeti, prebivalište zaštićeno, šator što se ne prenosi, kojem se kolčići nikad ne vade, nit' mu se ijedno uže otkida.
21 For surely there the mightie Lord will be vnto vs, as a place of floods and broade riuers, whereby shall passe no shippe with oares, neither shall great shippe passe thereby.
Ondje nam je Jahve silni, umjesto rijeka i širokih rukavaca: neće onud proći nijedna lađa s veslima niti će koji bojni brod projedriti.
22 For the Lord is our Iudge, the Lord is our lawe giuer: the Lord is our King, he will saue vs.
Jer Jahve je sudac naš, Jahve naš vojvoda, Jahve je kralj naš - on će nas spasiti.
23 Thy cordes are loosed: they could not well strengthen their maste, neither coulde they spread the saile: then shall the praye be deuided for a great spoile: yea, the lame shall take away the pray.
Užad ti je popustila, ne može držati jarbola ni razviti stijega, pa se dijeli golemo blago oteto - kljasti će se naplijeniti plijena!
24 And none inhabitant shall say, I am sicke: the people that dwell therein, shall haue their iniquitie forgiuen.
I nijedan građanin neće reći: “Bolestan sam!” Narodu što živi ondje krivnja će se oprostiti.
