Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Teško sinovima odmetničkim! - riječ je Jahvina. Oni provode osnove koje nisu moje, sklapaju saveze koji nisu po mom duhu i grijeh na grijeh gomilaju.
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Zaputiše se u Egipat, ne pitajući usta moja, da se uteku faraonovu zaklonu i da se zaštite u sjeni Egipta.
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Zaklon faraonov bit će na sramotu, i na ruglo zaštita u sjeni Egipta.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Eno mu knezova već u Soanu, podanici stigoše u Hanes:
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
svi će se oni razočarati u narodu beskorisnom, neće im biti na pomoć ni na korist, već na sramotu i porugu.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
Proroštvo o negepskim životinjama. Kroza zemlju nevolje i bijede, lavice i lava koji riču, ljutice i zmaja krilatog, nose oni blago na leđima magaraca i bogatstvo na grbi deva, nose ga narodu beskorisnom.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
Jer prazna je i ništavna pomoć Egipta, zato ga i zovemo: Rahab - danguba.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
Ded napiši na ploču i zapiši u knjigu da vremenima budućim svjedočanstvo ostane.
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Ovo je narod odmetnički, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neće da slušaju Zakon Jahvin.
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Vidovitima oni govore: “Okanite se viđenja!” a vidiocima: “Ne prorokujte istinu! Govorite nam što je ugodno, opsjene nam prorokujte!
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Skrenite s puta, zastranite sa staze, uklonite nam s očiju Sveca Izraelova!”
12 Why thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
Stog' ovako zbori Svetac Izraelov: “Jer riječ ovu odbacujete, a uzdate se u opačinu i prijevaru i na njih se oslanjate,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
grijeh će vam taj biti poput pukotine, visoko na zidu izbočene, koja prijeti rušenjem.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a shard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water with out of the pit.
Da se sruši k'o što se glinen sud razbije, slupan nemilice, te mu se među krhotinama ne nađe ni rbine, žerave da uzmeš s ognjišta il' zagrabiš vode iz studenca.”
15 For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod, Svetac Izraelov: “Mir i obraćenje - spas vam je, u smirenu uzdanju snaga je vaša. Ali vi ne htjedoste.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee on horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride on the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Rekoste: 'Ne! Pobjeći ćemo na konjima!' - i zato, bježat ćete! 'Na brzim ćemo konjima jahati!' - i zato, bit će brži vaši neprijatelji!”
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
Pobjeći će vas tisuća kad jedan zaprijeti, zaprijete li petorica, u bijeg ćete nagnut' dok vas ne preostane k'o kopljača na vrhu gore il' na brijegu zastava.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy on you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Al' Jahve čeka čas da vam se smiluje, i stog izglÄedÄa da vam milost iskaže, jer Jahve je Bog pravedan - blago svima koji njega čekaju.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious to you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
Da, puče sionski koji živiš u Jeruzalemu, više ne plači! Čim začuje vapaj tvoj, odmah će ti se smilovati; čim te čuje, uslišit će te.
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
Hranit će vas Gospod kruhom tjeskobe, pojiti vodom nevolje, al' se više neće kriti tvoj Učitelj - oči će ti gledati Učitelja tvoga.
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
I uši će tvoje čuti riječ gdje iza tebe govori: “To je put, njime idite”, bilo da vam je krenuti nadesno ili nalijevo.
22 You shall defile also the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say to it, Get you hence.
Smatrat ćeš nečistima svoje srebrne kumire i pozlatu svojih kipova; odbacit ćeš ih kao nečist i reći im: “Napolje!”
23 Then shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground with; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures.
A on će dati kišu tvojem sjemenu što ga posiješ u zemlju, i kruh kojim zemlja urodi bit će obilat i hranjiv. Stoka će tvoja pasti u onaj dan po prostranim pašnjacima.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Volovi i magarci što obrađuju zemlju jest će osoljenu krmu, ovijanu lopatom i vijačom.
25 And there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
I na svakoj gori i na svakome povišenom brijegu bit će potoka i rječica - u dan silnoga pokolja kad se kule budu rušile.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
Tada će svjetlost mjesečeva biti kao svjetlost sunčana, a svjetlost će sunčana postati sedam puta jača, kao svjetlost sedam dana - u dan kad Jahve iscijeli prijelom svojemu narodu, izliječi rane svojih udaraca.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
Gle, ime Jahve izdaleka dolazi, gnjev njegov gori, dim je neizdrživ. Usne su mu pune jarosti, jezik mu oganj što proždire.
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
Dah mu je kao potok nabujali što do grla seže. On dolazi da prosije narode rešetom zatornim, da stavi uzde zavodljive u čeljusti naroda.
29 You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
Tad će vam pjesma biti kao u noćima blagdanskim, kad su srca vesela kao u onoga koji uza zvuke frule hodočasti na Goru Jahvinu, k Stijeni Izraelovoj.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
Jahve će zagrmjet glasom veličajnim i pokazat ruku svoju što udara u jarosnu gnjevu, sred ognja zatornog, iz olujna pljuska i krupÄe kamene.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
Od glasa Jahvina prepast će se Asur, šibom ošinut.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay on him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
I kad god ga udari šiba kaznena, kojom će ga Jahve išibati, nek' se oglase bubnjevi i citare - u sav jek boja on s njima ratuje!
33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yes, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.
Odavna je pripravljen Tofet za Moleka - lomača visoka, široka, mnogo ognja, mnogo drvlja. Dah gnjeva Jahvina, kao potok sumporni, njega će spaliti.
