Isaiah 17
1 The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.
Proroštvo o Damasku. Gle, prestat će Damask biti gradom i postat će hrpom ruševina;
2 Forsaken are the cities of 'Aro'er: they shall be [given up] to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
njegovi gradići, dovijek napušteni, bit će pašnjak stadima; ležat će u njima i nitko ih neće tjerati.
3 And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.
Izgubit će Efrajim utvrde, a Damask kraljevstvo; ostatku Arama zbit će se što i slavi sinova Izraelovih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
4 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
U onaj dan smanjit će se slava Jakovljeva, spast će salo tijela njegova.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Bit će k'o kad žetelac žito hvata, a ruka mu žanje klasje, kao kad se pabirče klasovi u refajimskoj dolini -
6 And there shall be left on it gleaning-fruit, as one shaketh an olive-tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
ostat će samo pabirci; ili kao kad se otresa maslina: dvije-tri uljike sasvim na vrhu, četiri ili pet na granama drveta - riječ je Jahve, Boga Izraelova.
7 On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward the Holy One of Israel.
U onaj dan čovjek će pogledati na svog Stvoritelja i upraviti oči k Svecu Izraelovu.
8 And he shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and the sun-images.
Neće više gledati žrtvenika, djela svojih ruku, neće više gledati onoga što njegovi prsti stvoriše: ašere i sunčane stupove.
9 On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountain-peak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be desolate.
U onaj će dan gradovi tvoji biti napušteni, kao što bjehu napušteni hivijski i amorejski kad ih ostaviše pred Izraelcima, i opustjet će,
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.
jer si zaboravio Boga svog spasenja i nisi se spomenuo Stijene svoje snage. Stog' i sadiš ljupke biljke i strane presađuješ mladice;
11 [Already] on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.
u dan kad ih posadiš, one izrastu, a ujutro procvatu tvoje sadnice, al' propada žetva u dan nevolje, u dan boli neizlječive.
12 Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters!
Jao, buka naroda mnogobrojnih; buče kao što buči more; šum naroda koji šume k'o što šumore silne vode.
13 The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest.
Šume narodi kao što silne vode šumore, al' kad On im zaprijeti, bježe daleko, po gorama razvijani kao pljeva na vjetru, k'o prašina u vihoru.
14 At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.
Navečer eto straha; prije svanuća više ga nema: to je sudba onih koji nas plijene i kob onih što nas pljačkaju.
