Isaiah 10
1 Terrible things will happen to you judges who are unjust and who make unfair laws.
Jao onima koji izdaju odredbe nepravedne, koji ispisuju propise tlačiteljske;
2 You refuse to help poor people, and you do not allow them to get the things that they should get. You [allow people to] steal things from widows and do unfair things to orphans.
koji uskraćuju pravdu ubogima i otimlju pravo sirotinji mog naroda, da oplijene udovice, da opljačkaju sirote!
3 When I punish you by sending people from distant lands to cause you to experience disasters, (to whom will you run to get help?/there will be no one who can help you.) [RHQ] Your valuable possessions will certainly [not be safe] [RHQ] anywhere.
Što ćete činiti u dan kazne kad izdaleka propast dođe? Kom ćete se za pomoć uteći, gdje ostaviti blago svoje
4 You will be able only to stumble along as you are taken away with other prisoners, or [else] your corpses will lie on the ground with others who have been killed. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with you. He will still be ready to strike you again with his fist.
da se ne morate među roblje pognuti, pasti među poklanima? Na sve to gnjev se njegov neće smiriti, ruka će mu ostat' ispružena.
5 [Yahweh says], “Terrible things will happen to Assyria. [It is true that their army] is like a rod/club [DOU] with which I [punish other nations] because I am very angry with those nations [DOU].
Jao Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, prutu kojim srdžba moja zamahuje!
6 [Sometimes] I send the armies of Assyria to attack a godless nation, to fight against [other] people who have caused me to be angry. I send them to capture people and to seize and take away their possessions, and to trample them like [SIM] people walk on mud in the streets.
Na puk ga poslah nevjeran, na narod što me razjari, da ga oplijeni i opljačka, da ga izgazi k'o blato na ulici.
7 But the [king of Assyria] does not understand, he does not realize [that he is only like a weapon in my hand]. He wants [only] to destroy people, to get rid of many nations.
Ali on nije tako mislio i u srcu nije tako sudio, već u srcu zasnova zator, istrebljenje mnogih naroda.
8 He says, ‘All of my army commanders will soon be kings [of these nations that I conquer]!
Govoraše: “Nisu li svi knezovi moji kraljevi?
9 We destroyed Calno [city] like we destroyed Carchemish [city], We destroyed Hamath [city] like we destroyed Arpad [city]; we destroyed Samaria just like we destroyed Damascus.
Nije li Kalno kao Karkemiš? Nije li Hamat kao Arpad, Samarija kao Damask?
10 We were able to destroy [all] those kingdoms [that were full] of idols, kingdoms whose idols were greater than the idols in Jerusalem and Samaria.
Kao što mi ruka dosegnu kraljevstva kumira, bogatija kipovima od Jeruzalema i Samarije,
11 So we will defeat Jerusalem and destroy the idols that are there, just like we destroyed Samaria and the idols that were there!’
kao što učinih sa Samarijom i kumirima njenim, neću li učiniti s Jeruzalemom i s likovima njegovim?”
12 [But, I, Yahweh, say that] after I [have used Assyria to] finish what I want to do to punish the people in Jerusalem [DOU], I will punish the king of Assyria because he has been very proud and arrogant/boastful [DOU].
I kad dovrši Gospod sve djelo svoje na gori Sionu i u Jeruzalemu, kaznit će plod ohola srca kralja asirskog i drskost njegovih ponositih očiju.
13 He says, ‘By my own great power [MTY] I have done these things. I have been able to do them because I am very wise and very intelligent. My army removed the barriers [at the borders] of nations and carried away all their valuable things. My army has knocked down their kings like [SIM] a ferocious bull would.
Jer reče: “Učinih snagom svoje ruke i mudrošću svojom, jer sam uman; uklonih međe narodima i blaga njihova opljačkah, kao junak oborih one što sjede na prijestoljima.
14 Like [MET] a farmer reaches into a bird’s nest [to take away the eggs], we have taken away the treasures of other countries [DOU]. The people were not like birds that would flap their wings or chirp loudly [to protest about their eggs being stolen]; the people did not object at all [to their treasures being stolen].’
Ruka moja kao gnijezda zgrabi bogatstva naroda. Kao što se kÓupe ostavljena jaja, zemlju svu sam pokupio i nikog ne bi krilima da zalepeće, kljun otvori, zapijuče.”
15 [But I, Yahweh, say that] an axe certainly cannot [RHQ] boast about being stronger than the person who uses it, and a saw is not greater than the person who uses it. A rod cannot control the one who holds it [RHQ], and a wooden club cannot lift up a person [RHQ]. [So the king of Assyria should not boast that he has done these things with his own wisdom and strength].
Zar se hvali sjekira povrh onog koji njome siječe? Hoće li se oholit' pila povrh onog koji njome pili? K'o da šiba maše onim koji je podiže, il' štap diže onog koji drvo nije;
16 And [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, will send a plague among the proud soldiers of Assyria; it will be like [MET] a fire that will kill them and get rid of their glory/wealth.
Jahve nad Vojskama poslat će stoga gojaznima njegovim skončanje, slavu će mu ognjem potpaliti, kao što se vatra potpiruje.
17 [I], Yahweh, who am like [MET] a light for the people of Israel, will be the fire; [I], the Holy One, will be like a flame. [The soldiers of Assyria are like] [MET] thorns and briers, and I will burn them up in one night.
Svjetlost Izraelova bit će poput ognja, Svetac njegov kao plamen koji će zapalit' i proždrijeti drač njegov i trnje njegovo u jednome danu.
18 There are glorious forests and fertile farmlands in Assyria, but I will completely destroy them; they will be like [SIM] a [very] sick person who shrivels up and then dies.
I krasotu njegovih šuma i voćnjaka uništit će od srčike do kore, ona će biti k'o bolesnik što se trne;
19 There will be very few trees left in those forests; even a child will be able to count them.”
ostatak stabala šumskih bit će lako izbrojiti - dijete će ih lako popisati.
20 In the future there will be only a few people left in Israel; not many descendants of Jacob will still be alive. [But] they will no longer rely on [the king of Assyria], [the king of the nation] that tried to destroy them. Instead, they will faithfully/sincerely trust in Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
U onaj dan: Ostatak Izraelov i preživjeli iz kuće Jakovljeve neće se više oslanjati na onoga koji ih bije, već će se iskreno oslanjati na Jahvu, Sveca Izraelova.
21 Those Israelis will return to their mighty God.
Ostatak će se vratiti, ostatak Jakovljev Bogu jakome.
22 [Now], the people of Israel are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, but only a few of them will return [from the countries to which they were exiled]. Yahweh has decided to destroy [most of the Israelis] and that is what [he must do because he is completely] just/righteous.
Zaista, o Izraele, sve da naroda tvojega ima kao pijeska u moru, samo će se Ostatak njegov vratiti. Određeno je uništenje, pravda se prelila,
23 [Yes, ] the Commander of the armies of angels has [already] decided to destroy the entire land [of Israel].
Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, poharat će, kako odredi, svu zemlju.
24 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “My people in Jerusalem, do not be afraid of the army of Assyria when they beat you with rods and clubs, like the men of Egypt did [to your ancestors long ago].
Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “O narode moj što prebivaš na Sionu, ne boj se Asira kad te šibom tuče, kad štap diže na tebe.
25 Soon I will no longer be angry with you, and [then] I will be angry with the people of Assyria and destroy them!”
Jer, još malo, vrlo malo, i gnjev moj će prestati, moja će ih jarost uništiti.”
26 The Commander of the armies of angels will whip them. He will do to them like he did when he helped Gideon [and his 300 soldiers] to defeat the [army of the] Midian people-group, and like he did when he showed his mighty power [MTY] [by causing the army of Egypt to drown] in the [Red] Sea.
Na nj će Jahve nad Vojskama bičem zamahnuti, kao kad udari Midjan na stijeni Orebu, i štap će dići nad more k'o na putu egipatskom.
27 Some day, Yahweh will cause the army of Assyria to stop oppressing you, [his people]; he will end your suffering and your being slaves of the people of Assyria [MET]; he will take away the load that you people of Judah have been carrying, and cause things to go well for you.
U onaj dan: s leđa će ti breme pasti i jaram njegov s vrata će ti nestat'.
28 [The army of Assyria will enter northern Judah] near Aiath [town], they will go through Migron [town] and store their supplies at Micmash [town north of Jerusalem].
Ide on od Rimona, dolazi na Ajat, prelazi Migron, u Mikmasu breme odlaže.
29 They will cross through a mountain pass and set up their tents at Geba [town]. [People in] Ramah [town] will tremble [because of being afraid]. [The people of] Gibeah [town], where King Saul [was born], will [all] run away.
Prelaze klance, u Gebi im je noćište; Rama dršće, Gibea Šaulova bježi.
30 You people of Gallim [town] will cry out [for help]. You will shout to [the people of] Laish [city near Jerusalem] to warn them! [The people of] Anathoth [town] will suffer a lot.
Viči iza glasa, Bat Galime! Slušaj ga, Lajšo! Odgovori mu, Anatote!
31 [The people of] Madmenah [town north of Jerusalem will all] be running away, and [the people of] Gebim [town close to Jerusalem] will be trying to hide.
Madmena pobježe, utekoše stanovnici gebimski.
32 The soldiers of Assyria will stop at Nob [city outside Jerusalem]. They will shake their fists [as they threaten the people] on Zion Hill in Jerusalem.
Još danas zaustavit će se u Nobu, rukom prijeti gori Kćeri sionske, Brijegu jeruzalemskom.
33 But listen to this! The Commander of the armies of angels with his great power will destroy [MET] the mighty army of Assyria. [It is as though they are] a huge tree [MET] that he will cut down.
Gle, Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, kreše grane silom strahovitom: najviši su vršci posječeni, ponajviši sniženi.
34 He will destroy the [soldiers of Assyria] like men use big axes to cut down the tall trees in the forests of Lebanon.
Pod sjekirom pada šumska guštara, sa slavom svojom pada Libanon.
