Isaiah 47
1 "Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
Siði i sjedi u prah, djevojko, kæeri Vavilonska; sjedi na zemlju, nema prijestola, kæeri Haldejska; jer se neæeš više zvati nježna i ljupka.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Uzmi žrvnje, i melji brašno, otkrij kosu svoju, izuj se, zagali golijeni, idi preko rijeka.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man,"
Otkriæe se golotinja tvoja, i vidjeæe se sramota tvoja; osvetiæu se, i niko mi neæe smetati.
4 says our Redeemer; the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Ime je izbavitelju našemu Gospod nad vojskama, svetac Izrailjev.
5 "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
Sjedi muèeæi, i uði u tamu, kæeri Haldejska; jer se neæeš više zvati gospoða carstvima.
6 I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
Razgnjevih se na narod svoj, oskvrnih našljedstvo svoje i predadoh ga tebi u ruke; a ti im ne pokaza milosti; na starce si metala preteški jaram svoj;
7 You said, 'I shall be a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
I govorila si: dovijeka æu biti gospoða; ali nikad nijesi to uzimala na um, niti si pomišljala šta æe biti na pošljedak.
8 "Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:'
Sada dakle èuj ovo, koja živiš u slastima i bez brige sjediš i govoriš u srcu svom: ja sam, i nema druge osim mene, neæu biti udovica niti æu osirotjeti.
9 but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
To æe ti oboje doæi ujedanput, u isti dan, da osirotiš i obudoviš, doæi æe ti potpuno, radi mnoštva èini tvojih i radi velike sile èaranja tvoga.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me.'
Jer si se pouzdala u zloæu svoju govoreæi: niko me ne vidi. Mudrost tvoja i znanje tvoje prevariše te, te si govorila u srcu svom: ja sam, i osim mene nema druge.
11 Therefore disaster will come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and calamity will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly and unexpectedly.
Zato æe doæi na te zlo, a neæeš znati odakle izlazi, i popašæe te nevolja, da je neæeš moæi odbiti, i doæi æe na te ujedanput pogibao, za koju neæeš znati.
12 "Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
Stani sada s vraèanjem svojim i s mnoštvom èini svojih, oko kojih si se trudila od mladosti svoje, ne bi li se pomogla, ne bi li se okrijepila.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; those who conjure the heavens, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
Umorila si se od mnoštva namjera svojih; neka stanu sada zvjezdari, koji gledaju zvijezde, koji prorièu svakoga mjeseca, i neka te saèuvaju od onoga što æe doæi na te.
14 Look, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Gle, oni su kao pljeva, oganj æe ih spaliti, ni sami sebe neæe izbaviti iz plamena; neæe ostati uglja da se ko ogrije, ni ognja da bi se posjedjelo kod njega.
15 Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
Taki æe biti oni s kojima si se trudila i s kojima si trgovala od mladosti svoje, razbjeæi æe se svaki na svoju stranu; neæe biti nikoga da te izbavi.
