Isaiah 18
1 Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
Teško zemlji koja sjen èini krilima s one strane rijeka Etiopskih;
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!
Koja šalje poslanike preko mora, u laðama od site po vodama, govoreæi: idite, brzi glasnici, k narodu rasijanu i oplijenjenu, k narodu strašnu otkako je dosad, k narodu razmjerenu i pogaženu, kojemu zemlju raznose rijeke.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye.
Svi koji živite na svijetu i stanujete na zemlji, kad se digne zastava na gorama, gledajte, i kad zatrubi truba, slušajte.
4 For thus hath the LORD said unto me: I will hold Me still, and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: umiriæu se i gledaæu iz stana svojega, kao vruæina koja suši poslije dažda i kao rosan oblak o vruæini žetvenoj.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop off.
Jer prije berbe, kad napupe pupci i od cvijeta postane grozd i stane zreti, okresaæe odvode kosijerom, i uzeæe lozu i otsjeæi.
6 They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Sve æe se ostaviti pticama gorskim i zvijerima zemaljskim; i ptice æe ljetovati na njima, a svakojake zvijeri zemaljske zimovaæe.
7 In that time shall a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
Tada æe se donijeti dar Gospodu nad vojskama od naroda rasijanoga i oplijenjenoga, od naroda strašnoga otkako je dosad, od naroda razmjerenoga i pogaženoga, kojemu zemlju raznose rijeke, k mjestu imena Gospoda nad vojskama, ka gori Sionskoj.
