Isaiah 16
1 Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Šaljite jaganjce gospodaru zemaljskom, od Sele do pustinje, ka gori kæeri Sionske.
2 For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
Jer æe biti kæeri Moavske na brodovima Arnonskim kao ptica koja luta, otjerana s gnijezda.
3 Give counsel. Execute justice. Make your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday. Hide the outcasts. Do not betray the fugitive.
Uèini vijeæe, narode, naèini sjen u podne kao noæ, zakloni izagnane, nemoj izdati bjegunaca.
4 Let my outcasts dwell with you. As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Neka kod tebe borave izgnani moji, Moave; budi im zaklon od pustošnika; jer æe nestati nasilnika, prestaæe pustošenje, istrijebiæe se sa zemlje koji gaze druge.
5 A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
I utvrdiæe se prijesto milošæu, i na njemu æe sjedjeti jednako u šatoru Davidovu koji æe suditi i tražiti što je pravo i biti brz da èini pravdu.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
Èusmo za oholost Moava vrlo ponositoga, za ponos njegov i oholost i obijest njegovu; laži njegove neæe biti tvrde.
7 Ah, let not Moab wail; let everyone wail for Moab. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
Zato æe ridati Moavac nad Moavcem, svi æe ridati; nad temeljima Kir-Aresetskim uzdisaæete, jer su razvaljeni.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
I polja Esevonska posušiše se i èokot Sivamski; gospoda narodna potrše krasne loze njegove, koje dosezahu do Jazira i vijahu se po pustinji; odvode njegove pružahu se i prelažahu preko mora.
9 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
Zato æu plakati plaèem Jazirskim za èokotom Sivamskim; zaljevaæu te suzama svojim, Esevone i Elealo, jer pjesma o ljetini tvojoj i o žetvi tvojoj pade.
10 Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing and there will be no jubilant shouting. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
I nesta radosti i veselja s polja rodnoga, u vinogradima se ne pjeva ni podvikuje, vina u kacama ne gazi gazilac; uèinih kraj pjesmama.
11 Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
Zato utroba moja jeèi kao gusle za Moavom, i srce moje za Kir-Eresom.
12 It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
I kad se vidi da se umorio Moav na visini svojoj, uæi æe u svetinju svoju da se pomoli; ali ništa neæe svršiti.
13 This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
Ovo je rijeè što reèe Gospod za Moava davno.
14 But now the LORD has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble."
A sada veli Gospod govoreæi: do tri godine, kao što su godine najamnièke, ološaæe slava Moavova sa svijem mnoštvom njegovijem, i što ostane biæe vrlo malo i nejako.
