Isaiah 19
1 The doom of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved because of his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its inward parts.
Proroštvo o Egiptu. Gle, Jahve sjedi na brzu oblaku, u Egipat dolazi. Dršću pred njim idoli egipatski, u njedrima premire srce Egipćana.
2 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his fellow; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Podbost ću Egipćane protiv Egipćana, i brat će se s bratom svojim boriti, drug s drugom, grad s gradom, a kraljevstvo s kraljevstvom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be emptied out in its inward parts, and its counsel will I frustrate; and they will inquire of the idols, and of the charmers, and of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards.
Egiptu se pamet muti, ja sprečavam njegove naume; oni traže idole i vrače, opsjenare i gatare.
4 And I will surrender the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a rigorous king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts.
Egipćane ja predajem u ruke gospodaru okrutnu, kralj silovit njima će vladati - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Nestat će vode iz mora, presahnut će i presušiti Rijeka,
6 And the rivers shall become foul; and shallow and dried up shall become the deep streams: reeds and flags shall wither.
zaudarat će prokopi, spast će rukavci Rijeke egipatske i presušiti. Uvenut će trska i sita,
7 The well-rooted plants by the stream, by the mouth of the stream, and every thing sown by the stream, shall dry up, be scattered [by the wind, ] and be no more.
sva zelen pokraj Nila; usahnut će na Nilu svi usjevi, propast će, raspršit' se, iščeznuti.
8 The fishermen also shall lament, and all they that cast an angle into the stream shall mourn; and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
Tužit će ribari, kukat će svi što u Nil udicu bacaju; jadikovat će oni što u vodi mrežu razapinju.
9 And ashamed shall be they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white cloth.
Postidjet će se lanari, grebenari i tkači bijela tkanja.
10 And its foundations shall be beaten down, all that build sluices shall be grieved in soul.
Snuždit će se tkalci, rastužiti radnici.
11 Surely fools are the princes of Zo'an! the wise of the counsellors of Pharaoh [impart] silly counsel: how can ye say unto Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of the ancient kings?
Pravi su luđaci knezovi soanski, mudri savjetnici faraonovi glupo svjetuju; kako se usuđujete reći faraonu: “Učenik sam mudraca, učenik drevnih kraljeva?”
12 Where are they, these, thy wise men? that they may tell thee now, that they know what the Lord of hosts hath resolved on over Egypt.
TÓa gdje su tvoji mudraci? Nek' ti dojave i obznane što je Jahve nad Vojskama nakanio s Egiptom.
13 The princes of Zo'an are become fools, deceived are the princes of Noph; and Egypt is led astray by the chiefs of its tribes.
Ludi su knezovi taniški, prevareni knezovi memfiški, oni zavode Egipat, glavare njegovih plemena.
14 The Lord hath poured out in the midst thereof a spirit of perverseness: and they have led Egypt astray in all its work, as a drunkard reeleth astray in his vomit.
U njih je ulio Jahve duh vrtoglavi te zavode Egipat u svakom mu činu da tetura k'o pijanac kada bljuje.
15 And there shall not be for Egypt [successful] work, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
U Egiptu više ne može uspjeti ništa od onog što čine glava i rep, palma i sita.
16 On that day shall Egypt be like the women: and it shall tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he waveth over it.
U onaj će dan Egipćani postati kao žene, drhtat će i strepiti od zamaha ruke Jahve nad Vojskama kojom će zamahnuti na njih.
17 And the land of Judah shall become unto Egypt a terror, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be in dread, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath resolved against it.
Zemlja će Judina biti na užas Egiptu; kad god je se sjeti, strah će ga obuzeti zbog onoga što je Jahve nad Vojskama protiv njega naumio.
18 On that day shall be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts; “The city of destruction” shall one be called.
U onaj će se dan u zemlji egipatskoj pet gradova što govore kanaanskim jezikom zakleti Jahvi nad Vojskama; jedan će se od njih zvati Ir Hahres.
19 On that day shall there be all altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the Lord.
U onaj će dan biti žrtvenik Jahvin usred zemlje egipatske i stup posvećen Jahvi blizu granice njegove.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a testimony unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he will send them a helper, and a chief, and he shall deliver them.
To će Jahvi nad Vojskama biti znak i svjedočanstvo u egipatskoj zemlji. Kad zazovu Jahvu protiv tlačitelja, on će im poslati spasitelja i vođu da ih izbavi.
21 And the Lord will be made known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord on that day, and will do service [with] sacrifice and oblation; yea, they will make vows unto the Lord and perform [them].
I objavit će se Jahve Egipćanima, i u onaj će dan Egipćani spoznati Jahvu; služit će mu žrtvama i prinosima, zavjetovat će se i izvršavati zavjete.
22 And the Lord will thus strike Egypt, striking and healing it: and they will return unto the Lord, and he will be entreated of them, and heal them.
Jahve će teško udariti Egipćane, ali će ih iscijeliti; obratit će se oni Jahvi i on će ih uslišiti i iscijeliti.
23 On that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, and Asshur shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptians into Asshur, and the Egyptians shall serve with Asshur [the Lord].
U onaj će dan ići cesta od Egipta do Asirije. Asirci će dolaziti u Egipat, a Egipćani u Asiriju. Egipat i Asirija služit će Jahvi.
24 On that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Asshur, a blessing in the midst of the earth.
U onaj će dan Izrael, treći s Egiptom i Asirijom, biti blagoslovljen usred zemlje.
25 Whom the Lord of hosts will have blessed, saying, Blessed be my people Egypt, and Asshur the work of my hands, and my heritage Israel.
Jahve nad Vojskama blagoslovit će ga: “Nek' je blagoslovljen”, reći će, “moj narod egipatski, djelo mojih ruku Asirija i baština moja Izrael.”
