Esias 26
1 In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
U onaj dan pjevat ću ovu pjesmu u zemlji Judinoj: “Tvrd grad mi imamo: za obranu nam On podiže zidove i predziđa.
2 Open you the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
Otvorite vrata! Nek' uđe narod pravedni koji čuva vjernost,
3 supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on you, O Lord,
čiji je značaj čvrst, koji čuva mir jer se u te uzda.
4 they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
Uzdajte se u Jahvu dovijeka, jer Jahve je Stijena vječna;
5 who have humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, you shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
on obara one koji obitavahu visoko, razvaljuje tvrđu visoku, ruši u prah, sravnjuje sa zemljom,
6 And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
te je gaze noge, noge ubogih i koraci nevoljnih.”
7 The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
Put je pravednikov prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednom.
8 For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in your name, and on the remembrance [of you],
Da, na stazi tvojih sudova željno te, Jahve, čekamo; ime tvoje i spomen tvoj duša nam žudi.
9 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God, for your commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.
Dušom svojom žudim tebe noću i duhom svojim u sebi te tražim. Jer kad se na zemlji pojave tvoji sudovi, uče se pravdi stanovnici kruga zemaljskoga.
10 For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
Ako se pomiluje opaki, on se ne uči pravednosti. U zemlji pravednosti on čini bezakonje i ne obazire se na veličanstvo Jahvino.
11 O Lord, your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
Jahve, ruka je tvoja podignuta, a oni je ne vide. Nek' vide i postide se, nek' ih proguta revnost za narod, nek' ih proždre oganj pripravljen dušmanima tvojim.
12 O Lord our God, give us peace: for you have rendered to us all things.
Jahve, ti mir nama daješ, jer ti si tvorac svih djela naših.
13 O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside you: we name your name.
Jahve, Bože naš, gospodarili su nama osim tebe drugi gospodari, ali tebe jedinog, ime tvoje, častimo.
14 But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore you have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
Mrtvi neće oživjeti, sjene neće uskrsnuti, jer ti si ih kaznio i uništio i zatro svaki spomen na njih!
15 bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
Umnožio si narod, Jahve, umnožio si narod, proslavio se, proširio sve granice zemlje!
16 Lord, in affliction I remembered you; your chastening was to us with small affliction.
Jahve, tražili su te u nevolji; izlijevali tihu molitvu, kad ih je stigla tvoja kazna.
17 And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.
Kao što se trudna žena pred porođajem grči i viče u bolovima, takvi smo, Jahve, pred tobom.
18 We have conceived, O Lord, because of your fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of your salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
Zatrudnjeli smo, u mukama smo kao da rađamo, nismo donijeli duha spasenja zemlji nit' se rodiše stanovnici svijeta.
19 The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from you is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
Tvoji će mrtvi oživjeti, uskrsnut će tijela. Probudite se i kličite, stanovnici praha! Jer rosa je tvoja - rosa svjetlosti, i zemlja će sjene na svijet dati.
20 Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
Hajde, narode moj, uđi u sobe i vrata za sobom zatvori. Sakrij se časkom dok jarost ne prođe.
21 For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
Jer, gle, izići će Jahve iz svog prebivališta da stanovnike zemljine kazni što se o njeg' ogriješiše. Izbacit će zemlja svu krv što je na njoj prolivena i neće više kriti onih koji su na njoj poklani.
