Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Gle, Gospod æe isprazniti zemlju i opustiti je, prevrnuæe je i rasijaæe stanovnike njezine.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
I biæe sveštenik kao narod, gospodar kao sluga, gospoða kao sluškinja, prodavac kao kupac, koji daje u zajam kao koji uzima u zajam, koji uzima dobit kao koji daje.
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.
Sasvijem æe se isprazniti zemlja, i sasvijem æe se oplijeniti. Jer Gospod reèe ovu rijeè.
4 The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail.
Tužiæe zemlja i opasti, iznemoæi æe vasiljena i opasti; iznemoæi æe glavari naroda zemaljskoga.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
Jer se zemlja oskvrni pod stanovnicima svojim, jer prestupiše zakone, izmijeniše uredbe, raskidoše zavjet vjeèni.
6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.
Zato æe prokletstvo proždrijeti zemlju, i zatræe se stanovnici njezini; zato æe izgorjeti stanovnici zemaljski, i malo æe ljudi ostati.
7 The new wine faileth, the vine fadeth; all the merry-hearted do sigh.
Tužiæe vino, uvenuæe loza vinova, uzdisaæe svi koji su vesela srca.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Prestaæe veselje uz bubnje, nestaæe graje onijeh koji se vesele, prestaæe veselje uz gusle.
9 They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
Neæe piti vina uz pjesme, ogrknuæe silovito piæe onima koji ga piju.
10 Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in.
Razbiæe se pusti grad, zatvorene æe biti sve kuæe da niko ne ulazi.
11 There is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Tužnjava æe biti po ulicama radi vina, proæi æe svako veselje, otiæi æe radost zemaljska.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten unto ruin.
Pustoš æe ostati u gradu, i vrata æe se razvaliti.
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth, among the peoples, as at the beating of an olive-tree, as at the gleanings when the vintage is done.
Jer æe biti u zemlji i u narodima kao kad se oberu masline, i kao kad se paljetkuje poslije berbe.
14 Those yonder lift up their voice, they sing for joy; for the majesty of the LORD they shout from the sea:
Ovi æe podignuti glas svoj i pjevaæe, radi velièanstva Gospodnjega podvikivaæe od mora.
15 'Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the regions of light, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.'
Zato slavite Gospoda u dolinama, na ostrvima morskim ime Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
S kraja zemlje èusmo pjesme u slavu pravednome; ali rekoh: ološah! ološah! teško meni! nevjernici nevjeru èine, baš nevjernici nevjeru èine.
17 Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Strahota i jama i zamka pred tobom je, stanovnièe zemaljski!
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
I ko uteèe èuvši za strahotu, pašæe u jamu; a ko ižljeze iz jame, uhvatiæe se u zamku; jer æe se ustave na visini otvoriti i zatrešæe se temelji zemlji.
19 The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
Sva æe se zemlja razbiti, sva æe se zemlja raspasti, sva æe se zemlja uskolebati.
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Sva æe se zemlja ljuljati kao pijan èovjek, i premjestiæe se kao koliba, jer æe joj otežati bezakonje njezino, te æe pasti i neæe više ustati.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
I u to æe vrijeme pohoditi Gospod na visini vojsku visoku i na zemlji sve careve zemaljske.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished.
I skupiæe se kao što se skupljaju sužnji u jamu, i biæe zatvoreni u tamnicu, i poslije mnogo vremena biæe pohoðeni.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.
I posramiæe se mjesec i sunce æe se zastidjeti kad Gospod nad vojskama stane carovati na gori Sionu i u Jerusalimu, i pred starješinama svojim proslavi se.
