Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it has been a heap—a ruin.
Proroštvo o Damasku. Gle, prestat će Damask biti gradom i postat će hrpom ruševina;
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken, They are for droves, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.
njegovi gradići, dovijek napušteni, bit će pašnjak stadima; ležat će u njima i nitko ih neće tjerati.
3 And the fortress has ceased from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the glory of the sons of Israel, A declaration of YHWH 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 has come to pass in that day, The glory of Jacob waxes poor, And the fatness of his flesh waxes lean.
U onaj dan smanjit će se slava Jakovljeva, spast će salo tijela njegova.
5 And it has come to pass, As the gathering of the standing grain by the reaper, And his arm reaps the ears, And it has come to pass, As the gathering of the 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 gleanings have been left in him, As the surrounding of an olive, Two—three berries on the top of a branch, Four—five on the fruitful boughs, A declaration of YHWH, 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 In that day man looks to His Maker, Indeed, his eyes look to the Holy One of Israel,
U onaj dan čovjek će pogledati na svog Stvoritelja i upraviti oči k Svecu Izraelovu.
8 And he does not look to the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made, He does not see—the Asherim and the images.
Neće više gledati žrtvenika, djela svojih ruku, neće više gledati onoga što njegovi prsti stvoriše: ašere i sunčane stupove.
9 In that day the cities of his strength are As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It has also been a desolation.
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 you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not remembered the Rock of your strength, Therefore you plant plants of pleasantness, And sow it with a strange shoot,
jer si zaboravio Boga svog spasenja i nisi se spomenuo Stijene svoje snage. Stog' i sadiš ljupke biljke i strane presađuješ mladice;
11 You cause your plant to become great in the day, And make your seed to flourish in the morning, The harvest [is] a heap in a day of overflowing, And of mortal 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 multitude of many peoples, They sound as the sounding of seas; And the roaring of nations, As the roaring of mighty waters [that] make a crashing.
Jao, buka naroda mnogobrojnih; buče kao što buči more; šum naroda koji šume k'o što šumore silne vode.
13 Nations crash as the roaring of many waters, And He rebuked them, And they fled far off, And were pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a windstorm.
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 evening, behold, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
Navečer eto straha; prije svanuća više ga nema: to je sudba onih koji nas plijene i kob onih što nas pljačkaju.
