< Esias 5 >

1 Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.
Zapjevaæu sada dragome svojemu pjesmu dragoga svojega o vinogradu njegovu. Dragi moj ima vinograd na rodnu brdašcu.
2 And I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.
I ogradi ga, i otrijebi iz njega kamenje, i nasadi ga plemenitom lozom, i sazida kulu usred njega, i iskopa pivnicu u njemu, i poèeka da rodi grožðem, a on rodi vinjagom.
3 And now, you dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.
Pa sada, stanovnici Jerusalimski i ljudi Judejci, sudite izmeðu mene i vinograda mojega.
4 What shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.
Što je još trebalo èiniti vinogradu mojemu što mu ne uèinih? kad èekah da rodi grožðem, zašto rodi vinjagom?
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down.
Sada æu vam kazati što æu uèiniti vinogradu svojemu. Oboriæu mu ogradu, neka opusti; razvaliæu mu zid, neka se pogazi;
6 And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.
Uparložiæu ga, neæe se rezati ni kopati, nego æe rasti èkalj i trnje, i zapovjediæu oblacima da ne puštaju više dažda na nj.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.
Da, vinograd je Gospoda nad vojskama dom Izrailjev, i ljudi su Judejci mili sad njegov; on èeka sud, a gle nasilja, èeka pravdu, a gle vike.
8 Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will you dwell alone upon the land?
Teško onima koji sastavljaju kuæu s kuæom, i njivu na njivu nastavljaju, da veæ ne bude mjesta i vi sami ostanete u zemlji.
9 For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.
Od Gospoda nad vojskama èuh: mnoge kuæe opustjeæe, u velikim i lijepijem neæe biti nikoga.
10 For where ten yoke of oxen plow [the land] shall yield one, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.
Jer æe deset rala vinograda dati jedan vat, i gomer sjemena daæe efu.
11 Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall inflame them.
Teško onima koji rane, te idu na silovito piæe i ostaju do mraka dok ih vino raspali.
12 For they drink wine with harp, and lute, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.
I na gozbama su im gusle i psaltiri i bubnji i svirale i vino; a ne gledaju na djela Gospodnja i ne vide rada ruku njegovijeh.
13 Therefore my people have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.
Zato se narod moj odvede u ropstvo što ne znaju, i koje poštuje gladuju, i ljudstvo njegovo gine od žeði.
14 Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [into it]. (Sheol h7585)
Zato se raširio grob i razvalio ždrijelo svoje preveæ, i siæi æe u nj slava njegova i mnoštvo njegovo i vreva njegova i koji se vesele u njemu. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
I pognuæe se prost èovjek, i visoki æe se poniziti, i ponosite oèi oboriæe se;
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.
Gospod nad vojskama uzvisiæe se sudom, i Bog sveti posvetiæe se pravdom.
17 And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.
I jaganjci æe pasti po svom obièaju, i došljaci æe jesti s pustijeh mjesta pretilinu.
18 Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke:
Teško onima koji vuku bezakonje uzicama od taštine, i grijeh kao užem kolskim,
19 who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].
Koji govore: neka pohiti, neka brzo doðe djelo njegovo, da vidimo, i neka se približi i doðe što je naumio svetac Izrailjev, da poznamo.
20 Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
Teško onima koji zlo zovu dobro, a dobro zlo, koji prave od mraka svjetlost a od svjetlosti mrak, koji prave od gorkoga slatko a od slatkoga gorko.
21 Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.
Teško onima koji misle da su mudri, i sami su sebi razumni.
22 Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:
Teško onima koji su jaki piti vino i junaci u miješanju silovita piæa.
23 who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.
Koji pravdaju bezbožnika za poklon, a pravednima uzimaju pravdu.
24 Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Zato kao što oganj proždire strnjiku i slame nestaje u plamenu, tako æe korijen njihov biti kao trulež i cvijet njihov otiæi æe kao prah, jer odbaciše zakon Gospoda nad vojskama i prezreše rijeè sveca Izrailjeva.
25 Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and struck them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.
Zato se raspali gnjev Gospodnji na narod njegov, i mahnuv rukom svojom na nj udari ga da se gore zadrmaše i mrtva tjelesa njegova biše kao blato po ulicama. Kod svega toga gnjev se njegov ne odvrati, nego je ruka njegova još podignuta.
26 Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.
I podignuæe zastavu narodima daljnijem, i zazviždaæe im s kraja zemlje; i gle, oni æe doæi odmah, brzo.
27 They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets be broken.
Neæe biti meðu njima umorna ni sustala, ni dremljiva ni sanljiva, nikome se neæe raspasati pojas oko njega, niti æe se kome otkinuti remen na obuæi.
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm.
Strijele æe im biti oštre, i svi lukovi njihovi zapeti; kopita u konja njihovijeh biæe kao kremen i toèkovi njihovi kao vihor.
29 They rage as lions, and draw near as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.
Rika æe im biti kao u lava, i rikaæe kao laviæi; buèaæe i ugrabiæe plijen i odnijeti ga, i neæe biti nikoga da otme.
30 And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.
Buèaæe nad njim u to vrijeme kao što more buèi. Tada æe pogledati na zemlju, a to mrak i strah, i svjetlost æe se pomraèiti nad pogiblju njihovom.
