< Isaiah 22 >

1 The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
Proroštvo o Dolini viđenja: Što ti je da uzlaziš sav na krovove,
2 With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
grade pun vreve, grade bučni, grade razigrani? Pobijeni tvoji ne padoše od mača, nit' u boju poginuše mrtvi tvoji;
3 All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
glavari svi ti zajedno pobjegoše, u ropstvo padoše luka ne napevši. Zasužnjeni su svi tvoji knezovi, zalud umakoše daleko.
4 For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
Zato velim: “Ostavite me, zaplakat ću gorko; nemojte me tješiti zbog uništenja naroda moga.”
5 For a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
Jer ovo je dan pometnje i rasula od Jahve, Gospoda nad Vojskama. U Dolini viđenja zid se ruši, vapaj za pomoć diže se u goru.
6 Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
Elam tobolac uzima, Aram konja jaše, a Kir štit otkriva.
7 And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
Krasne doline tvoje pune su bojnih kola, konjanici stižu pred vrata.
8 Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
Tako pada Judi zaštita. U onaj dan svrnuo si pogled na oružje u Šumskoj kući.
9 And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
Vidjeste da u gradu Davidovu ima mnogo pukotina. Sabraste vodu iz Donjega ribnjaka.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
Prebrojiste kuće jeruzalemske, porušiste kuće da zid učvrstite.
11 And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
Između dva zida načiniste spremište za vodu iz starog ribnjaka. Ali se ne obazreste na Tvorca, nit' vidjeste onog što davno sve smisli.
12 And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with sackcloth,
Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, pozivaše vas u dan onaj da plačete i tugujete, da obrijete glave i pripašete kostrijet.
13 Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
A gle: radost i veselje, ubijaju goveda i kolju ovce; jedu meso i piju vino: “Jedimo i pijmo, jer sutra nam je mrijeti.”
14 Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Ali Jahve nad Vojskama objavi mi: “Dok ne umrete, grijeh taj neće vam se oprostiti”, reče Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama.
15 Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama: “Hajde, idi k onom dvorjaninu, k Šibni, nadstojniku dvora,
16 What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
koji kleše sebi grob na uzvisini i u stijeni sebi prebivalište usijeca: 'Što tu posjeduješ i koga tu imaš da sebi klešeš grobnicu?'
17 Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
Gle, Jahve će te baciti daleko udarcem jednim jedinim, snažno će te uhvatiti,
18 He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
smotat će te u klupko, kao loptu te baciti po zemlji širokoj! Ondje ti ćeš umrijeti, s kolima što ti bijahu na slavu, ti, sramoto dvoru svoga gospodara!”
19 Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
Lišit ću te tvoje službe, otjerat te sa tvog mjesta;
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
i pozvat ću svoga slugu Elijakima, sina Hilkijina.
21 And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of Judah.
Obući ću mu tvoju haljinu, tvojim ću ga pojasom opasat', tvoju ću mu vlast predati u ruke te će biti otac žiteljima jeruzalemskim i kući Judinoj.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;
Metnut ću mu na pleća ključ od kuće Davidove: kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti, kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti.
23 And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
Kao klin zabit ću ga na tvrdu mjestu; i postat će prijesto slave domu oca svojega.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
O njega će se vješati sva slava njegova doma očinskog, izdanci i potomstvo, sve malo posuđe, od zdjelica do ćupova.
25 In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - izvući će se klin zabijen na tvrdu mjestu, slomit će se i pasti. I sav teret što je visio na njemu razbit će se, jer je Jahve govorio.
