Isaiah 8

1 Moreover the LORD said to me, Take you a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

I reèe mi Gospod: uzmi knjigu veliku i napiši u njoj pismom èovjeèijim: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.

2 And I took to me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

I uzeh vjerne svjedoke, Uriju sveštenika i Zahariju sina Jeverehijina.

3 And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

Potom pristupih k proroèici, i ona zatrudnje i rodi sina. A Gospod mi reèe: nadjeni mu ime: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.

4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

Jer prije nego dijete nauèi vikati: oèe moj i majko moja, odnijeæe se blago Damaštansko i plijen Samarijski pred carem Asirskim.

5 The LORD spoke also to me again, saying,

I još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi:

6 For as much as this people refuses the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

Što ovaj narod ne mari za vodu Siloamsku koja teèe tiho, i raduje se Resinu i sinu Remalijinu,

7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up on them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

Zato, evo, Gospod æe navesti na njih vodu iz rijeke silnu i veliku, cara Asirskoga i svu slavu njegovu, te æe izaæi iz svijeh potoka svojih, i teæi æe povrh svijeh bregova svojih,

8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

I navaliæe preko Jude, plaviæe i razlivaæe se i doæi do grla, i krila æe joj se raširiti preko svekolike zemlje tvoje, Emanuilo!

9 Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.

Združujte se, narodi, ali æete se potrti; èujte svi koji ste u daljnoj zemlji: oružajte se, ali æete se potrti; oružajte se, ali æete se potrti.

10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nothing; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

Dogovarajte se, dogovor æe vam se razbiti: recite rijeè, neæe biti od nje ništa, jer je s nama Bog.

11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

Jer mi ovako reèe Gospod uhvativši me za ruku i opomenuvši me da ne idem putem ovoga naroda, govoreæi:

12 Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.

Ne govorite buna, kad god ovaj narod kaže buna, i ne bojte se èega se on boji, i ne plašite se.

13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

Gospoda nad vojskama svetite; i on neka vam je strah i bojazan.

14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

I biæe vam svetinja, a kamen za spoticanje i stijena za sablazan objema domovima Izrailjevijem, zamka i mreža stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.

15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

I spotaknuæe se mnogi i pašæe i satræe se, zaplešæe se i uhvatiæe se.

16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

Sveži svjedoèanstvo, zapeèati zakon mojim uèenicima.

17 And I will wait on the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

Èekaæu dakle Gospoda, koji je sakrio lice svoje od doma Jakovljeva, i uzdaæu se u nj.

18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.

Evo ja i djeca koju mi je dao Gospod jesmo znak i èudo Izrailju od Gospoda nad vojskama, koji nastava na gori Sionu.

19 And when they shall say to you, Seek to them that have familiar spirits, and to wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek to their God? for the living to the dead?

I ako vam reku: pitajte vraèe i gatare, koji šapæu i mrmljaju; recite: ne treba li narod da pita Boga svojega? ili æe pitati mrtve mjesto živijeh?

20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Zakon i svjedoèanstvo tražite. Ako li ko ne govori tako, njemu nema zore.

21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

I hodiæe po zemlji potucajuæi se i gladujuæi; i kad bude gladan, ljutiæe se i psovati cara svojega i Boga svojega gore.

22 And they shall look to the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

A kad pogleda na zemlju, a to nevolja i mrak i teška muka, i on zagnan u tamu.
