Isaiah 8
1 And YHWH says to me, “Take a great tablet to yourself, and write on it with an engraving tool of man, To hurry spoil, enjoy prey.”
Reče Jahve: “Uzmi veliku ploču i napiši na njoj ljudskim pismom: Maher Šalal Haš Baz - Brz grabež - hitar plijen.”
2 And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
Potom uzeh vjerne svjedoke, svećenika Uriju i Zahariju, sina Berekjina.
3 And I draw near to the prophetess, and she conceives, and bears a son; and YHWH says to me, “Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
Približih se proročici te ona zače i rodi sina. Jahve mi reče: “Nazovi ga Maher Šalal Haš Baz,
4 for before the youth knows to cry, My father, and, My mother, one takes away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.”
jer prije no što dijete počne tepati 'tata' i 'mama', nosit će se pred kralja asirskog sve bogatstvo Damaska i plijen Samarije.”
5 And YHWH adds to speak to me again, saying,
I opet mi reče Jahve:
6 “Because that this people has refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
“Jer narod ovaj odbacuje mirne tekućice Šiloaha, a dršće pred Rasonom i pred sinom Remalijinim,
7 Therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great (The king of Asshur, and all his glory), And it has gone up over all its streams, And has gone on over all its banks.
navest će Gospod na vas vodu Eufrata, silnu i veliku - kralja asirskog i svu slavu njegovu - i ona će izići iz rukava svoga, preliti se preko svih obala;
8 And it has passed on into Judah, It has overflown and passed over, It comes to the neck, And the stretching out of its wings Has been the fullness of the breadth of your land, O Immanuel!
provalit će u Judeju, razlit' se i poplaviti je, popeti se do grla njezina; i krila će svoja raširiti preko cijele tvoje zemlje, o Emanuele.”
9 Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all you far-off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.
Udružite se samo, narodi, al' bit ćete smrvljeni! Poslušajte, vi kraljevi daleki, pašite se, bit ćete smrvljeni, pašite se, bit ćete smrvljeni!
10 Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it does not stand, Because of Immanuel!”
Kujte naum - bit će uništen, dogovarajte se samo, bit će uzalud, jer s nama je Bog!
11 For thus has YHWH spoken to me with strength of hand, and instructs me against walking in the way of this people, saying,
Jer, ovako mi reče Jahve, kad me rukom uhvatio i opomenuo da ne idem putem kojim narod ovaj ide:
12 “You do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people says, A confederacy, And its fear you do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
“Ne zovite urotom sve što narod ovaj urotom zove; ne bojte se čega se on boji i nemajte straha.
13 YHWH of Hosts—Him you sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
Jahve nad Vojskama - on jedini nek' vam svet bude; jedino se njega bojte, strah od njega nek' vas prožme.
14 And He has been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
On će vam biti zamka i kamen spoticanja i stijena posrtanja za obje kuće Izraelove, zamka i mreža svim Jeruzalemcima.
15 And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.”
Mnogi će od njih posrnuti, pasti, razbiti se, zaplesti se, uhvatiti.”
16 Bind up the testimony, Seal the Law among My disciples.
Pohrani ovo svjedočanstvo, zapečati ovu objavu među učenicima svojim:
17 And I have waited for YHWH, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.
Čekat ću Jahvu koji je lice svoje sakrio od doma Jakovljeva - u njega ja se uzdam.
18 Behold, I, and the children whom YHWH has given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From YHWH of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.
Evo, ja i djeca koju mi Jahve dade Izraelu smo znak i znamenje od Jahve nad Vojskama što prebiva na Gori sionskoj.
19 And when they say to you, “Seek to those having familiar spirits, And to wizards, who chatter and mutter,” Does a people not seek to its God? To the dead on behalf of the living?
Reknu li vam: “Duhove pitajte i vrače koji šapću i mrmljaju” - dakako, narod mora pitati svoje “bogove” i za žive u mrtvih se raspitivati! -
20 To the Law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, “That there is no dawn to it.”
Uza Zakon! Uza svjedočanstvo! Tko ne rekne tako, zoru neće dočekati.
21 And it has passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it has come to pass, That it is hungry, and has been angry, And made light of its king, and of its God, And has looked upwards.
Lutat će zemljom potlačen i gladan, izgladnjela bijes će ga spopasti, proklinjat će svoga kralja i svog Boga. Okrene l' se k nebu,
22 And it looks attentively to the land, And behold, adversity and darkness! Dimness, distress, and thick darkness are driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!
pogleda l' po zemlji, gle, svuda samo mrak i strava, svuda tmina tjeskobna. Ali će se tama raspršiti,
