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.
Ali neæe se onako zamraèiti pritiješnjena zemlja kao prije kad se dotaèe zemlje Zavulonove i zemlje Neftalimove, ili kao poslije kad dosaðivaše na putu k moru s one strane Jordana Galileji neznabožaèkoj.
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 hodi u tami vidjeæe vidjelo veliko, i onima koji sjede u zemlji gdje je smrtni sjen zasvijetliæe vidjelo.
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.
Umnožio si narod, a nijesi mu uvelièao radosti; ali æe se radovati pred tobom kao što se raduju o žetvi, kao što se vesele kad dijele 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.
Jer si slomio jaram u kom vucijaše, i štap kojim ga bijahu po pleæima i palicu nasilnika njegova kao u dan Madijanski.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
Jer æe obuæa svakoga ratnika koji se bije u graji i odijelo u krv uvaljano izgorjeti i biti hrana ognju.
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 nam se rodi dijete, sin nam se dade, kojemu je vlast na ramenu, i ime æe mu biti: divni, savjetnik, Bog silni, otac vjeèni, knez mirni.
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.
Bez kraja æe rasti vlast i mir na prijestolu Davidovu i u carstvu njegovu da se uredi i utvrdi sudom i pravdom otsada dovijeka. To æe uèiniti revnost Gospoda nad vojskama.
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
Gospod posla rijeè Jakovu, i ona pade u Izrailju.
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
I znaæe sav narod, Jefrem i stanovnici Samarijski, koji oholo i ponosita srca govore:
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
Padoše opeke, ali æemo mi zidati od tesana kamena; dudovi su posjeèeni, ali æemo mi zamijeniti kedrima.
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
Ali æe Gospod podignuti protivnike Resinove na nj, i skupiæe 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.
Sirce s istoka i Filisteje sa zapada, te æe ždrijeti Izrailja na sva usta. Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
Jer se narod neæe obratiti k onomu ko ga bije, i neæe tražiti Gospoda nad vojskama.
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
Zato æe otsjeæi Gospod Izrailju glavu i rep, granu i situ u jedan dan.
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
Starješina i ugledan èovjek to je glava, a prorok koji uèi laž to je rep.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
Jer koji vode taj narod, oni ga zavode, a koje vode, oni su propali.
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.
Zato se Gospod neæe radovati mladiæima njegovijem, i na sirote njegove i na udovice njegove neæe se smilovati, jer su svikoliki licemjeri i zlikovci, i svaka usta govore nevaljalstvo. Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
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!
Jer æe se razgorjeti bezbožnost kao oganj, koji sažeže èkalj i trnje, pa upali gustu šumu, te otide u dim visoko.
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,
Od gnjeva Gospoda nad vojskama zamraèiæe se zemlja i narod æe biti kao hrana ognju, niko neæe požaliti brata svojega.
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.
I zgrabiæe s desne strane, pa æe opet biti gladan, i ješæe s lijeve strane, pa se opet neæe nasititi; svaki æe jesti meso od mišice svoje,
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!
Manasija Jefrema, i Jefrem Manasiju, a obojica æe se složiti na Judu. Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
