Isaiah 9
1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter has honored the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
jer više neće biti mraka gdje je sad tjeskoba. U prvo vrijeme on obescijeni zemlju Zebulunovu i zemlju Naftalijevu, al' u vrijeme posljednje on će proslaviti Put uz more, s one strane Jordana - Galileju pogansku.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light has shone on them.
Narod koji je u tmini hodio svjetlost vidje veliku; one što mrklu zemlju obitavahu svjetlost jarka obasja.
3 You have multiplied the nation, You have made its joy great, They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Ti si radost umnožio, uvećao veselje, i oni se pred tobom raduju kao što se ljudi raduju žetvi, k'o što kliču kad se dijeli plijen.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, You have broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Teški jaram njegov, prečku što mu pleća pritiskaše, šibu njegova goniča slomi kao u dan midjanski.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
Da, sva bojna obuća, svaki plašt krvlju natopljen izgorjet će i bit će ognju hrana.
6 For a Child has been born to us, A Son has been given to us, And the dominion is on His shoulder, And He calls His Name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Jer, dijete nam se rodilo, sina dobismo; na plećima mu je vlast. Ime mu je: Savjetnik divni, Bog silni, Otac vječni, Knez mironosni.
7 Of the increase of [His] dominion, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on His kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, From now on, even for all time, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
Nadaleko vlast će mu se sterat' i miru neće biti kraja nad prijestoljem Davidovim, nad kraljevstvom njegovim: učvrstit će ga i utvrdit u pravu i pravednosti. Od sada i dovijeka učinit će to privržena ljubav Jahve nad Vojskama.
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
Gospod posla riječ protiv Jakova i ona pade na Izraela.
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Sazna je sav narod njegov, Efrajim i stanovnici Samarije koji govorahu naduta i ohola srca:
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
“Opeke nam popadaše, gradit ćemo od tesanika; sasjekoše nam divlje smokve, cedre ćemo posaditi.”
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
Al' Jahve podiže na brdo Sion njegove protivnike i podbada neprijatelje njegove:
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Aram s istoka, Filistejce sa zapada, da svim ustima proždiru Izraela. Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
Ali se narod nije obratio onom koji ga je b§io, ne tražiše Jahvu nad Vojskama.
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
Zato Jahve odsiječe Izraelu glavu i rep, palmu i rogoz u jednom danu.
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
Starješina i odličnik - to je glava; prorok, učitelj laži - to je rep.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
Oni što vode narod taj - zavode ga, a koji se vodit' daju - propali su.
17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men, And He does not pity its orphans and its widows, For everyone [is] profane, and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Stog' mu Gospod neće poštedjet' mladića, sirotama njegovim i udovicama smilovat' se neće. Sav je taj narod bezbožan i zao, na sva usta bezumno govori. Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
18 For wickedness has burned as a fire, It devours brier and thorn, And it kindles in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Da, bezbožnost se k'o oganj razmahala, drač i trnje proždire, pa upali šumsku guštaru, stupovi se dima podižu.
19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts The land has been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man has no pity on his brother,
Plamti zemlja od gnjeva Jahvina, narod ognju hrana postaje. Nitko ni brata svog ne štedi, [19b] svatko jede meso svog susjeda.
20 And cuts down on the right, and has been hungry, And he devours on the left, And they have not been satisfied, They each devour the flesh of his own arm.
Proždire zdesna, i opet je gladan; guta slijeva, i opet sit nije:
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this His anger has not turned back. And His hand is still stretched out!
Manaše Efrajima, Efrajim Manašea, obojica zajedno Judu. Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
