Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.
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 armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, 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 has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.
Egiptu se pamet muti, ja sprečavam njegove naume; oni traže idole i vrače, opsjenare i gatare.
4 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
Egipćane ja predajem u ruke gospodaru okrutnu, kralj silovit njima će vladati - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
5 And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
Nestat će vode iz mora, presahnut će i presušiti Rijeka,
6 And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
zaudarat će prokopi, spast će rukavci Rijeke egipatske i presušiti. Uvenut će trska i sita,
7 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.
sva zelen pokraj Nila; usahnut će na Nilu svi usjevi, propast će, raspršit' se, iščeznuti.
8 And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.
Tužit će ribari, kukat će svi što u Nil udicu bacaju; jadikovat će oni što u vodi mrežu razapinju.
9 And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
Postidjet će se lanari, grebenari i tkači bijela tkanja.
10 And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
Snuždit će se tkalci, rastužiti radnici.
11 Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”
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 now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against Egypt!
TÓa gdje su tvoji mudraci? Nek' ti dojave i obznane što je Jahve nad Vojskama nakanio s Egiptom.
13 Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
Ludi su knezovi taniški, prevareni knezovi memfiški, oni zavode Egipat, glavare njegovih plemena.
14 YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs 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 is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
U Egiptu više ne može uspjeti ništa od onog što čine glava i rep, palma i sita.
16 In that day Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving 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 has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling 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 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.
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 In that day there is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its border,
U onaj će dan biti žrtvenik Jahvin usred zemlje egipatske i stup posvećen Jahvi blizu granice njegove.
20 And it has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered 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 YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].
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 YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed them.
Jahve će teško udariti Egipćane, ali će ih iscijeliti; obratit će se oni Jahvi i on će ih uslišiti i iscijeliti.
23 In that day a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.
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 In that day Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
U onaj će dan Izrael, treći s Egiptom i Asirijom, biti blagoslovljen usred zemlje.
25 In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”
Jahve nad Vojskama blagoslovit će ga: “Nek' je blagoslovljen”, reći će, “moj narod egipatski, djelo mojih ruku Asirija i baština moja Izrael.”
