Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
Ali neæe se onako zamraèiti pritiješnjena zemlja kao prije kad se dotaèe zemlje Zavulonove i zemlje Neftalimove, ili kao poslije kad dosaðivaše na putu k moru s one strane Jordana Galileji neznabožaèkoj.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, on them has the light shined.
Narod koji hodi u tami vidjeæe vidjelo veliko, i onima koji sjede u zemlji gdje je smrtni sjen zasvijetliæe vidjelo.
3 You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before you according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Umnožio si narod, a nijesi mu uvelièao radosti; ali æe se radovati pred tobom kao što se raduju o žetvi, kao što se vesele kad dijele plijen.
4 For you have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
Jer si slomio jaram u kom vucijaše, i štap kojim ga bijahu po pleæima i palicu nasilnika njegova kao u dan Madijanski.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
Jer æe obuæa svakoga ratnika koji se bije u graji i odijelo u krv uvaljano izgorjeti i biti hrana ognju.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Jer nam se rodi dijete, sin nam se dade, kojemu je vlast na ramenu, i ime æe mu biti: divni, savjetnik, Bog silni, otac vjeèni, knez mirni.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Bez kraja æe rasti vlast i mir na prijestolu Davidovu i u carstvu njegovu da se uredi i utvrdi sudom i pravdom otsada dovijeka. To æe uèiniti revnost Gospoda nad vojskama.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted on Israel.
Gospod posla rijeè Jakovu, i ona pade u Izrailju.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
I znaæe sav narod, Jefrem i stanovnici Samarijski, koji oholo i ponosita srca govore:
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
Padoše opeke, ali æemo mi zidati od tesana kamena; dudovi su posjeèeni, ali æemo mi zamijeniti kedrima.
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
Ali æe Gospod podignuti protivnike Resinove na nj, i skupiæe neprijatelje njegove,
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Sirce s istoka i Filisteje sa zapada, te æe ždrijeti Izrailja na sva usta. Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
13 For the people turns not to him that smites them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Jer se narod neæe obratiti k onomu ko ga bije, i neæe tražiti Gospoda nad vojskama.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
Zato æe otsjeæi Gospod Izrailju glavu i rep, granu i situ u jedan dan.
15 The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
Starješina i ugledan èovjek to je glava, a prorok koji uèi laž to je rep.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Jer koji vode taj narod, oni ga zavode, a koje vode, oni su propali.
17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Zato se Gospod neæe radovati mladiæima njegovijem, i na sirote njegove i na udovice njegove neæe se smilovati, jer su svikoliki licemjeri i zlikovci, i svaka usta govore nevaljalstvo. Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
Jer æe se razgorjeti bezbožnost kao oganj, koji sažeže èkalj i trnje, pa upali gustu šumu, te otide u dim visoko.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Od gnjeva Gospoda nad vojskama zamraèiæe se zemlja i narod æe biti kao hrana ognju, niko neæe požaliti brata svojega.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
I zgrabiæe s desne strane, pa æe opet biti gladan, i ješæe s lijeve strane, pa se opet neæe nasititi; svaki æe jesti meso od mišice svoje,
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manasija Jefrema, i Jefrem Manasiju, a obojica æe se složiti na Judu. Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
