Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious ornament, which is on the eminence of the fat valley of those who are struck down by wine!
Teško gizdavu vijencu pijanica Efrajimovih, uvelu cvijetu blistava mu nakita - onima što uvrh plodnog dola leže vinom opijeni!
2 Behold, [it cometh] mighty and strong from the Lord, as a tempest of hail, a storm of destruction; as a tempest of mighty overflowing waters, will he cast it down to the earth with force.
Evo, od Gospoda jaki i moćni, kao pljusak s tučom, kao vihor razorni, prolom oblaka i povodanj, i svom ih snagom na zemlju baca.
3 Under feet shall be trodden the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim:
Bit će izgažen nogama gizdav vijenac pijanica Efrajimovih
4 And the fading flower of his glorious ornament, which is on the eminence of the fat valley, shall be as its early ripe fruit before the summer; which one, when he just seeth it, while it is scarcely in his hand, hastily devoureth.
i uveo cvijet blistava mu nakita uvrh plodnih dolina; bit će kao rana smokva prije ljeta: čim je tko spazi, odmah je ubere.
5 On that day will the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
U onaj dan Jahve nad Vojskama postat će kruna slave i sjajan vijenac Ostatku svoga naroda -
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to those that drive back the battle to the gate [of the enemy].
duh pravde onome koji sjedi na stolici sudačkoj i srčanost onome koji odbija napad na vrata.
7 But these also are now stumbling through wine, and reeling through strong drink: priest and prophet are stumbling through strong drink, they are overpowered with wine, they reel through strong drink; they stumble in [divine] vision, they are unsteady in giving judgment.
Oni posrću od vina, teturaju od žestoka pića: svećenici i proroci od žestoka pića posrću; omami ih vino; teturaju od žestoka pića, posrću u viđenjima, ljuljaju se sudeći.
8 For all tables are full of vomit of filthiness, there is no place [clean].
Svi su stolovi puni gnusnih bljuvotina, nigdje čista mjesta nema!
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he give to understand doctrine? those that are weaned from the milk, those that are taken from the breasts.
“Koga on to uči mudrosti, koga on upućuje u objavu? Zar djecu odviknutu od mlijeka odbijenu od prsiju?
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.
Sav la-sav, sav la-sav, kav la-kav, kav la-kav, zeer šam, zeer šam.”
11 For [as] with stammering lips and a foreign tongue will he speak to this people;
Da, mucavim usnama i na stranom jeziku govorit će se ovom narodu.
12 When he said unto them, This is the rest, cause ye the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing; but they would not hear.
On im reče: “Evo počinka, dajte umornom da otpočine! Evo odmora!” Ali ne htjedoše poslušati.
13 Therefore shall be unto them the word of the Lord, precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; in order that they may go, and stumble backward, and be broken, and snared, and caught.
Zato će im Jahve ovako govoriti: “Sav la-sav, sav la-sav, kav la-kav, kav la-kav, zeer šam, zeer šam”, da hodeći padnu nauznak, da se razbiju, zapletu i uhvate.
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule this people that is in Jerusalem.
Stoga čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi podsmjevači, vi što vladate narodom ovim koji je u Jeruzalemu.
15 Because ye have said, “We have entered into a covenant with death, and with the nether world have we made an agreement; the overflowing scourge, when it passeth by, shall not come at us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we sought a hiding-place.” (Sheol h7585)
Vi velite: “Sklopismo savez sa smrću i s Podzemljem učinismo sporazum. Kad prođe bič razorni, ne, neće nas dohvatiti, jer od laži načinismo sebi sklonište i od obmane skrovište.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I have laid in Zion as a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a costly corner-stone, well founded: he that believeth will not make haste.
Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo, postavljam na Sion kamen odabrani, dragocjen kamen ugaoni, temeljac. Onaj koji u nj vjeruje neće propasti.
17 And I will make of justice a measuring line, and of righteousness a plummet: and the hail shall sweep off the refuge of lies, and the hiding-place against the waters shall these flood away.
I uzet ću pravo za mjeru, a pravdu za tezulju.” I tuča će vam zastrti sklonište od laži, a voda otplaviti skrovište;
18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with the nether world shall not have permanence; the overflowing scourge, when it passeth by—then shall ye be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
propast će savez vaš sa smrću, vaš sporazum s Podzemljem održat' se neće. Kada bič razorni prođe, satrt će vas; (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passeth by shall it take you; for morning by morning shall it pass by, by day and by night; and the mere understanding of the report shall cause terror.
kad god prođe, dohvatit će vas; prolazit će svako jutro, danju i noću. Samo će vas strah uputit u objavu.
20 For the bed shall be too short for [a man] to stretch himself out [on it]: and the covering too narrow to wrap himself in.
Prekratka će bit' postelja da se čovjek pruži, preuzak pokrivač da se umota.
21 For as on mount Perazim will the Lord rise up, as in the valley of Gib'on will he be wroth, that he may do his work, his singular work; and to accomplish his labor, his strange labor.
Da, kao na gori Perasimu, Jahve će ustati, kao u Dolini gibeonskoj, on će se razjariti, da izvrši djelo svoje, djelo čudnovato, da ispuni naum svoj, naum tajnoviti.
22 And now be ye no longer scornful, lest your bonds be made strong; for as completed and fully decreed have I heard it from the Lord Eternal of hosts over all the earth.
Podsmijevanja se okanite, da vas jače okovi ne stegnu; jer čuh da je od Gospoda, Jahve nad Vojskama, zemlji ovoj dosuđeno uništenje.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; listen, and hear my speech.
Poslušajte i čujte glas moj, prisluhnite pomno moju besjedu.
24 Doth the ploughman plough all the time to sow? doth he open and harrow his ground [continually]?
Ore li orač svakog dana, brazdi, brana njivu svoju?
25 Is it not so? that, when he hath made level its surface he scattereth fennel, and streweth about cumin, and planteth the wheat in rows, and barley on its assigned [place], and millet on its proper spot?
A kad joj poravna površinu, ne sije li grahor, ne sipa li kumin? Pšenicu gdje treba, proso i ječam, i napokon raž po rubovima?
26 For his God instructed him rightly, taught him [so to do].
Bog ga njegov upućuje, on ga uči djelu pravom.
27 Truly not with a threshing instrument is fennel threshed, and a wagon-wheel is not turned about upon cumin; but fennel is beaten out with a staff, and cumin with a stick.
Ne mlati se grahor cijepom, nećeš točkom po kuminu, već se grahor štapom mlati, a kumin se prutom lupa.
28 Bread-corn is crushed; but not for ever doth [man] keep threshing it; and though he drive over it the wheel of his wagon and his horses, he will not [thereby] crush it.
A da li se žito tare? Ne, nećeš ga dovijeka mlatiti: po njem ćeš pognat kolski točak i konje, ali ga zdrobiti nećeš.
29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts; wonderful is he in counsel, and excellent in [his] wise deeds.
I to dolazi od Jahve nad Vojskama, savjetom divnog, mudrošću velikog.
