Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters 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 taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
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 land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD has spoken this word.
Sasvijem æe se isprazniti zemlja, i sasvijem æe se oplijeniti. Jer Gospod reèe ovu rijeè.
4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
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, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Jer se zemlja oskvrni pod stanovnicima svojim, jer prestupiše zakone, izmijeniše uredbe, raskidoše zavjet vjeèni.
6 Therefore has the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Zato æe prokletstvo proždrijeti zemlju, i zatræe se stanovnici njezini; zato æe izgorjeti stanovnici zemaljski, i malo æe ljudi ostati.
7 The new wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry hearted do sigh.
Tužiæe vino, uvenuæe loza vinova, uzdisaæe svi koji su vesela srca.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceases, the noise of them that rejoice ends, the joy of the harp ceases.
Prestaæe veselje uz bubnje, nestaæe graje onijeh koji se vesele, prestaæe veselje uz gusle.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Neæe piti vina uz pjesme, ogrknuæe silovito piæe onima koji ga piju.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Razbiæe se pusti grad, zatvorene æe biti sve kuæe da niko ne ulazi.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; 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 with destruction.
Pustoš æe ostati u gradu, i vrata æe se razvaliti.
13 When thus it shall be in the middle of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes 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 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Ovi æe podignuti glas svoj i pjevaæe, radi velièanstva Gospodnjega podvikivaæe od mora.
15 Why glorify you the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD 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, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
S kraja zemlje èusmo pjesme u slavu pravednome; ali rekoh: ološah! ološah! teško meni! nevjernici nevjeru èine, baš nevjernici nevjeru èine.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, 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 flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the middle of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, 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 utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
Sva æe se zemlja razbiti, sva æe se zemlja raspasti, sva æe se zemlja uskolebati.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy on 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 shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth on 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 pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
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, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
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.
