Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and as for princes, they shall rule in justice.
Evo po pravdi kralj kraljuje, po pravici vladaju knezovi:
2 And a man shall be as in a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as by the watercourses in a dry place, as in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
svaki je kao zavjetrina, utočište od nevremena, kao u sušnoj zemlji potoci, kao sjena u žednoj pustari.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall attend.
Oči vidovitih neće više biti slijepe, uši onih što čuju slušat će pozorno;
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
srce nerazumnih shvaćat će mudrost, mucavci će govorit' okretno i razgovijetno;
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be noble.
pokvarenjaka neće više zvati plemenitim, varalicu neće više držat' odličnikom.
6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Jer, pokvarenjak govori ludosti i srce mu bezakonje snuje, da počini zlodjela, da o Jahvi oholo govori; da gladnoga ostavi prazna želuca, da žednome napitak uskrati.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil; he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, and the needy when he speaketh right.
U varalice pakosno je oružje; on spletke samo kuje, da lažima upropasti uboge, pa i kad nevoljnik pravo dokazuje.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
U plemenita nakane su plemenite i plemenito on djeluje.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.
Ustajte, žene nehajne, slušajte moj glas; kćeri lakoumne, čujte mi besjedu.
10 After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
Za godinu i nekoliko dana drhtat ćete, lakoumnice, jer jematve neće biti, plodovi se neće brati.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye confident ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins,
Dršćite, nehajnice, strepite, lakoumnice, svucite se, obnažite, oko bedara kostrijet opašite!
12 Smiting upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine;
Bijte se u prsa zbog ljupkih polja, plodnih vinograda;
13 For the land of my people whereon thorns and briers come up; yea, for all the houses of joy and the joyous city.
zbog njiva naroda mojega što rađaju trnjem i dračem; zbog svih kuća veselih, grada razigranog.
14 For the palace shall be forsaken; the city with its stir shall be deserted; the mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Jer, napuštena bit će palača, opustjet će bučni grad; Ofel i kula postat će brlog dovijeka - bit će radost divljim magarcima, paša stadima,
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
dok se na nas ne izlije duh iz visina. Tad će pustinja postat' voćnjak, a voćnjak se u šumu pretvorit'.
16 Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
U pustinji će se nastaniti pravo, i pravda će prebivati u voćnjaku.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
Mir će biti djelo pravde, a plod pravednosti - trajan pokoj i uzdanje.
18 And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
Narod će moj prebivati u nastambama pouzdanim, u bezbrižnim počivalištima.
19 And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; but the city shall descend into the valley.
A šuma će biti oborena, grad će biti snižen.
20 Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass.
Blago vama: sijat ćete kraj svih voda, puštajući vola i magarca da slobodno idu!
