Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt 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 thy 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 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will accept no man.
Otkriæe se golotinja tvoja, i vidjeæe se sramota tvoja; osvetiæu se, i niko mi neæe smetati.
4 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 thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called The lady of kingdoms.
Sjedi muèeæi, i uði u tamu, kæeri Haldejska; jer se neæeš više zvati gospoða carstvima.
6 I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy 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 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof.
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, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside 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 thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: in their full measure shall they come upon thee, despite of the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
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 thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee: and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside 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 shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not.
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 thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest 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 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
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 Behold, 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 unto thee wherein thou hast laboured: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.
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.
