Isaiah 1
1 The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For Jehovah speaketh: “I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: “Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master's crib; But Israel doth not know; My people do not consider.”
Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.”
4 Ah, sinful nation! a people laden with iniquity! A race of evil-doers! degenerate children! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; They have gone backward.
Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.
5 Where can ye be smitten again, Since ye renew your rebellion? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; It is all bruises, and stripes, and flesh wounds, Neither pressed, nor bound up, nor softened with ointment.
od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.
7 Your country is desolate; Your cities are burnt with fire; Your ground, strangers devour it before your eyes; It is become desolate, destroyed by an enemy.
Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a shed in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.
9 Had not Jehovah of hosts left us a small remnant, We had soon become as Sodom; We had been like to Gomorrah.
Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.
10 Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye princes of Sodom! Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah!
Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!
11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah; I am satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; In the blood of bullocks and of lambs and of goats I have no delight.
“Što će mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?” - govori Jahve. - “Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.
12 When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this of you, to tread my courts?
Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?
13 Bring no more false oblations! Incense is an abomination to me, The new moon also, and the sabbath, and the calling of the assembly; Iniquity and festivals I cannot endure.
Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.
14 Your new moons and your feasts my soul hateth; They are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!
15 When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; Yea, when ye multiply prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood!
Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,
16 Wash you; make you clean; Put away your evil doings from before mine eyes;
operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!
17 Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice; relieve the oppressed; Defend the fatherless; plead for the widow!
Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.”
18 Come, now, and let us argue together, saith Jehovah. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
“Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo,” govori Jahve. “Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet će poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat će kao vuna.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, Ye shall consume the good of the land.
Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.
20 But if ye refuse, and be rebellious, The sword shall consume you; For the mouth of Jehovah hath said it.
U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.” Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot, She that was full of equity! Once justice dwelt in her, but now murderers!
Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.
22 Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.
Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.
Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.
24 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.
Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: “Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!
25 And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.
Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!
26 And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.”
27 Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.
Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.
28 But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.
29 For ye shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted; Ye shall blush for the gardens which ye loved;
Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.
30 And ye shall be as a terebinth-tree whose leaves are withered, And as a garden in which is no water.
Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.
31 The strong shall become tow, And his work a spark of fire; Both shall burn together, And none shall quench them.
Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
