< Isaiah 5 >

1 Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
Zapjevat ću svojemu dragome, pjesmu svog ljubljenog njegovu vinogradu. Moj je dragi imao vinograd na brežuljku rodnome.
2 And He fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
Okopa ga, iskrči kamenje, posadi ga lozom plemenitom. Posred njega kulu on podiže i u nj tijesak metnu. Nadaše se da će uroditi grožđem, a on izrodi vinjagu.
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge between Me and My vineyard.
Sad, žitelji jeruzalemski i ljudi Judejci, presudite izmeđ' mene i vinograda mojega.
4 What [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
Što još mogoh učiniti za svoj vinograd a da nisam učinio? Nadah se da će uroditi grožđem, zašto vinjagu izrodi?
5 And now, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
No sad ću vam reći što ću učiniti od svog vinograda: plot ću mu soriti da ga opustoše, zidinu razvaliti da ga izgaze.
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
U pustoš ću ga obratiti, ni obrezana ni okopana, nek' u drač i trnje sav zaraste; zabranit ću oblacima da dažde nad njime.
7 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
Vinograd Jahve nad Vojskama dom je Izraelov; izabrani nasad njegov ljudi Judejci. Nadao se pravdi, a eto nepravde, nadao se pravičnosti, a eto vapaja.
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
Jao vama koji kuću kući primičete i polje s poljem sastavljate, dok sve mjesto ne zauzmete te postanete jedini u zemlji.
9 Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant!
Na uši moje reče Jahve nad Vojskama: “Doista, mnoge će kuće opustjeti, velike i lijepe, bit će bez žitelja.
10 For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.
Deset rali vinograda dat će samo bačvicu, mjera sjemena dat će samo mjericu.”
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them!
Jao onima što već jutrom na uranku žestokim se pićem zalijevaju i kasno noću sjede vinom raspaljeni.
12 And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands.
Na gozbama im harfe i citare, bubnjevi i frule uz vino, a za djelo Jahvino ne mare, ne gledaju djelo ruku njegovih.
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
Stoga će u ropstvo narod moj odvesti, jer nema razumnosti, odličnici njegovi od gladi će umirati, puk njegov od žeđi će gorjeti.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)
Da, Podzemlje će razvaliti ždrijelo, razjapit će ralje neizmjerne da se u njih strmoglave odličnici mu i mnoštvo sa svom grajom i veseljem! (Sheol h7585)
15 And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
Smrtnik će nikom poniknuti, ponizit' se čovjek, oborit će se pogled silnih.
16 And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
Jahve nad Vojskama uzvisit će se sudom, i Bog će sveti otkrit' svetost svoju.
17 And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
Jaganjci će pasti kao na pašnjacima, a jarci će brstiti po ruševinama bogataškim.
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
Jao onima koji na se krivnju vuku volovskom užadi i grijeh kolskim konopcem -
19 Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
onima što govore: “Neka pohiti, neka poteče s djelom svojim da bismo ga vidjeli, neka se približi i završi naum Sveca Izraelova da bismo znali!”
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Jao onima koji zlo dobrom nazivaju, a dobro zlom, koji od tame svjetlost prave, a od svjetlosti tamu, koji gorko slatkim čine, a slatko gorkim!
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
Jao onima koji su mudri u svojim očima i pametni sami pred sobom!
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
Jao onima koji su jaki u vinu i junaci u miješanju jakih pića;
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
onima koji za mito brane krivca, a pravedniku uskraćuju pravdu!
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying of the Holy One of Israel.
Zato, kao što plameni jezici proždiru slamu i kao što nestaje suha trava u plamenu, tako će korijen njihov istrunuti, poput praha razletjet' se pupoljak njihov, jer odbaciše Zakon Jahve nad Vojskama i prezreše riječ Sveca Izraelova.
25 Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
Zato se raspali gnjev Jahvin protiv njegova naroda, i on diže ruku na nj i udari ga te se potresoše gore: trupla njihova leže k'o smeće po ulicama, ali gnjev se njegov još ne smiri, ruka mu je sveđer podignuta.
26 And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
On podiže stijeg ratni narodu dalekom, zazviždi mu na kraj zemlje, i gle: brzo, spremno hita.
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
U njemu nema trudna ni sustala, ni dremljiva niti snena, oko boka pojas ne otpasuje, na obući ne driješi remena.
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
Strijele su mu dobro zašiljene, lukovi mu svi zapeti, kremen su kopita konja njegovih, vihor su točkovi bojnih mu kola.
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
Rika mu je k'o u lava i riče k'o lavovi mladi, reži, grabi plijen i odnosi, a nikoga da mu ga istrgne.
30 And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
U dan onaj režat će na njega k'o što more buči. Pogledaš li zemlju - sve tmina, tjeskoba, svjetlost proguta tmina oblačna.
