Isaiah 29

1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelled! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

Teško Arilu, Arilu, gradu gdje je stajao David. Dodajte godinu na godinu, neka kolju žrtve prazniène.

2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be to me as Ariel.

Ali æu pritijesniti Arila, i biæe žalost i tuga, jer æe mi biti kao Aril.

3 And I will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.

Jer æu te opkoliti vojskom, i stegnuæu te opkopima i podignuæu suprot tebi kule.

4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

Te æeš oboren govoriti sa zemlje i iz praha æeš mucati, i glas æe ti biti sa zemlje kao u bajaèa i iz praha æeš šapæuæi govoriti.

5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yes, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

A mnoštvo neprijatelja tvojih biæe kao sitan prah i mnoštvo nasilnika kao pljeva kad se razmeæe; i to æe biti zaèas, iznenada.

6 You shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Gospod nad vojskama pohodiæe ga gromom i trusom i hukom velikom, vihorom i burom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire.

7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her fortification, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

I mnoštvo svijeh naroda koji vojuju na Aril i svi koji udaraju na nj i na zidove njegove i koji ga pritješnjuju, biæe kao utvara noæna u snu.

8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he wakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he wakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

Biæe kao kad gladan sni da jede, pa kad se probudi a duša mu prazna; ili kad sni žedan da pije, pa kad se probudi, a on iznemogao i duša mu žedna; tako æe biti mnoštvo svijeh naroda što vojuju na goru Sionsku.

9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

Stanite i èudite se; vapijte i vièite: pijani su, ali ne od vina; posræu, ali ne od silovita piæa.

10 For the LORD has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered.

Jer je Gospod izlio na vas duh tvrdoga sna i zatvorio vam oèi, oslijepio proroke i vidioce, glavare vaše.

11 And the vision of all is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed:

I svaka utvara biæe vam kao rijeèi u zapeèaæenoj knjizi, koju dadu èovjeku koji zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne mogu, jer je zapeèaæeno.

12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.

Ili da dadu knjigu onom koji ne zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne znam èitati.

13 Why the Lord said, For as much as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Zato reèe Gospod: što se ovaj narod približuje ustima svojima i usnama svojim poštuje me, a srce im daleko stoji od mene, i strah kojim me se boje zapovijest je ljudska kojoj su nauèeni,

14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

Zato æu evo još raditi èudesno s tijem narodom, èudesno i divno, i mudrost mudrijeh njegovijeh poginuæe i razuma razumnijeh nestaæe.

15 Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

Teško onima koji duboko sakrivaju od Gospoda namjeru, koji rade u mraku i govore: ko nas vidi? i ko nas zna?

16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Naopake misli vaše nijesu li kao kao lonèarski? Govori li djelo za onoga koji ga je naèinio: nije me naèinio? i lonac govori li za onoga koji ga je naèinio: ne razumije?

17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

Neæe li se doskora i Livan pretvoriti u polje, i polje se uzimati za šumu?

18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

I u taj æe dan gluhi èuti rijeèi u knjizi, i iz tame i mraka vidjeæe oèi slijepijeh.

19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

I krotki æe se veoma radovati u Gospodu, i ništi izmeðu ljudi veseliæe se sa sveca Izrailjeva.

20 For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

Jer nasilnika neæe biti, i nestaæe potsmjevaèa, i istrijebiæe se svi koji gledaju da èine bezakonje,

21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nothing.

Koji okrivljuju èovjeka za rijeè, i meæu zamku onome koji kara na vratima, i obaraju pravednoga lažju.

22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

Zato Gospod, koji je otkupio Avrama, ovako govori za dom Jakovljev: neæe se više Jakov postidjeti, niti æe mu lice poblijedjeti.

23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

Jer kad vidi usred sebe djecu svoju, djelo ruku mojih, tada æe oni svetiti ime moje, svetiæe sveca Jakovljeva i bojaæe se Boga Izrailjeva.

24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

I koji lutaju duhom orazumiæe se, i vikaèi æe primiti nauku.
