< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz foresaw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, o Judeji i Jeruzalemu:
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be firmly established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and unto it shall flow all the nations.
Dogodit će se na kraju dana: Gora Doma Jahvina bit će postavljena vrh svih gora, uzvišena iznad svih bregova. K njoj će se stjecati svi narodi,
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
nagrnut će mnoga plemena i reći: “Hajde, uziđimo na Goru Jahvinu, pođimo u Dom Boga Jakovljeva! On će nas naučiti svojim putovima, hodit ćemo stazama njegovim. Jer će iz Siona Zakon doći, iz Jeruzalema riječ Jahvina.”
4 And he will judge among the nations, and decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn any more war.
On će biti sudac narodima, mnogim će sudit' plemenima, koji će mačeve prekovati u plugove, a koplja u srpove. Neće više narod dizat' mača protiv naroda nit' se više učit' ratovanju.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Hajde, dome Jakovljev, u Jahvinoj hodimo svjetlosti!
6 For thou hast abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of [witchcraft] more than the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and with the children of strangers they unite themselves.
Da, ti si svoj odbacio narod, dom Jakovljev, jer je pun vračeva s istoka i gatara kao Filistejci, bratime se s tuđincima.
7 And full became their land of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; and full became their land of horses, and there is no end to their chariots;
Zemlja mu je puna srebra i zlata i blagu mu kraja nema; zemlja mu je puna konja, kolima mu broja nema.
8 And full became their land of idols; to the work of their own hands they bow themselves, to what their own fingers have made.
Zemlja mu je prepuna kumira i oni se klanjaju pred djelom ruku svojih, pred onim što njihovi načiniše prsti.
9 And so is bent down the son of earth, and humbled the man; and thou wilt not forgive them.
Smrtnik će se poviti, čovjek sniziti; ne praštaj im.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty.
Uđi među pećine, skrij se u prašinu, pred užasom Jahvinim, pred sjajem veličanstva njegova, kad ustane da potrese zemlju.
11 The looks of human pride shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
Ohol pogled bit će skršen i bahatost ljudska ponižena. Jahve će se uzvisiti, on jedini - u dan onaj.
12 For there is a day [of judgment] unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one; and over every exalted one, that he be brought low;
Da, bit će to dan Jahve nad Vojskama, protiv svih oholih i bahatih, protiv sviju što se uzvisiše, da ih obori;
13 And over all the cedars of the Lebanon, the high and exalted, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
protiv svih cedrova libanonskih i svih hrastova bašanskih;
14 And over all the high mountains, and over all the exalted hills;
protiv svih gora uznositih i svih bregova uzdignutih;
15 And over every high tower, and over every fortified wall;
protiv svake visoke tvrđe i svih tvrdih zidina;
16 And over all the ships of Tharshish; and over all desirable palaces.
protiv sveg brodovlja taršiškog i svih brodova raskošnih.
17 And the pride of man shall be bent down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
Oholost ljudska skršit će se i bahatost ljudska poniziti. Jahve će se uzvisiti, on jedini - u dan onaj,
18 And the idols will he utterly abolish.
i kumiri će netragom nestati.
19 And men shall enter into the caverns of rocks, and into the rifts of the earth, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
Uđite u rupe među pećinama i u spilje zemaljske pred užasom Jahvinim, pred sjajem veličanstva njegova, kad ustane da potrese zemlju.
20 On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which have been made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
U dan onaj: bacit će svaki svoje srebro i zlatne kumire koje sebi načini da im se klanja,
21 To enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the hollows of the cliffs, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
kad uteče u šupljine pećina i u raspukline stijena pred užasom Jahvinim, pred sjajem veličanstva njegova, kad ustane da potrese zemlju.
22 Withdraw yourselves [then] from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; because, for what is he to be esteemed?
Čuvajte se, dakle, čovjeka koji ima samo jedan dah u nosnicama: jer što vrijedi?
