Isaiah 13
1 [I], Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received [from Yahweh] this message about Babylon [city]:
Proroštvo o Babilonu koje vidje Izaija, sin Amosov.
2 Lift up a flag on the bare [top of a] hill, to signal [that an army should come to attack Babylon]. Shout to them and wave your hand [to signal to them] that they should march through the city gates into the palaces of the proud [rulers of Babylon]!
Na goletnu brdu dignite zastavu, vičite im iz sveg grla. Mašite rukom neka dođu na vrata kneževska.
3 [Yahweh says], “I have commanded those soldiers to do that; I have summoned the warriors whom I have chosen to punish [the people of Babylon] because of my being very angry with them, and those soldiers will be very proud [when they do that].”
Zapovijed dadoh svetim svojim ratnicima, gnjevu svom pozvah svoje junake koji slave veličanstvo moje.
4 Listen to the noise on the mountains, which is the noise of a huge army marching! It is the noise made by people of many people-groups shouting. The Commander of the armies of angels has summoned this army to gather together.
Čuj! Žagor na gorama kao od silna naroda. Čuj! Buka kraljevstava, sakupljenih naroda. To Jahve nad Vojskama za boj vojsku pregleda.
5 They come from countries that are far away, from the most remote places [IDM] on the earth. They are [like] [SIM] weapons that Yahweh will use [to punish the people with whom] he is very angry, and to destroy the entire country [of Babylonia].
Iz daleka kraja, s granica neba dolaze oni - Jahve i oruđa gnjeva njegova - da svu zemlju poharaju.
6 [You people of Babylon] will scream because you will be terrified, because it will be the time that Yahweh [has determined/chosen], the time for the all-powerful [God] to destroy [your city].
Kukajte, jer je blizu Jahvin dan, k'o pohara dolazi od Svemoćnog.
7 All of your people will be very afraid [DOU], with the result that they will be unable even to lift their arms.
I sve ruke stog' malakšu ... Svako ljudsko srce klone,
8 All of you will be terrified. You will have [PRS] severe pains like [SIM] a woman has when she is giving birth to a baby. You will look at each other helplessly, and it will show on your faces that you feel horror.
strava ih je obrvala, trudovi boli već ih spopadaju i grče se k'o rodilja. U prepasti jedan drugog motre, lica su im poput plamena.
9 Listen to this: The day that Yahweh has appointed/chosen is near, the day that he will furiously and fiercely [punish you] because he is very angry [with you]. He will cause your land [of Babylonia] to be desolate/barren, and he will destroy [all] the sinners in it.
Dolazi nesmiljeni Jahvin dan - gnjev i jarost - da u pustoš zemlju prometne, da istrijebi iz nje grešnike.
10 [When that happens], none of the stars will shine. When the sun rises, it will be dark, and there will be no light from the moon [at night].
Jer nebeske zvijezde a ni Štapci neće više sjati svjetlošću, pomrčat će sunce ishodeći i mjesec neće više svijetliti.
11 [Yahweh says], “I will punish [everyone in] the world for the evil things that they do; I will punish the wicked people for the sins that they have committed. I will stop arrogant/proud people from being proud, and I will stop ruthless people from acting cruelly.
Kaznit ću svijet za zloću, bezbožnike za bezakonje, dokrajčit ću ponos oholih, poniziti nadutost silnika.
12 [And because I will cause most people to die], people will be harder to find than gold, harder to find than fine gold from Ophir [in Arabia].
Rjeđi će biti čovjek neg' žeženo zlato, rjeđi samrtnik od zlata ofirskog.
13 I will shake the sky, and the earth will [also] move out of its place. That will happen when [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, punish [wicked people], when [I show them that] I am extremely angry [with them].
Nebesa ću potresti, maknut će se zemlja s mjesta od srdžbe Jahve nad Vojskama u dan kad se izlije gnjev njegov.
14 And all [the foreigners in Babylon will run around] like [SIM] deer that are being hunted, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. They will try to find other people from their countries, and [then] they will escape [from Babylon] and return to their own countries.
I tada, kao gazela preplašena, kao ovce koje nitko ne prikuplja, svatko će se vratit' svom narodu, svatko će u zemlju svoju pobjeći.
15 Anyone who is captured [in Babylon] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords [DOU].
Koga stignu, probost će ga: koga uhvate, mačem će sasjeći;
16 Their little children will be dashed to pieces on the rocks while [their parents] watch; [their enemies] will steal everything valuable from their houses and will rape their wives.
pred očima smrskat će im dojenčad, opljačkati kuće, silovati žene.
17 Look! I am going to incite the people of Media to attack Babylon. The [army of Media] will attack Babylon, even if they are offered [DOU] silver or gold [if they promise to not attack it].
Gle, podižem na njih Medijce što ne cijene srebra i preziru zlato.
18 [With] their arrows, the [soldiers of Media] will shoot the young men [of Babylon]; they will not [even] act mercifully [DOU] toward infants or children!”
Svi će mladići biti pokošeni, sve djevojke zatrte. Na plod utrobe neće se smilovati, nad djecom im se oko neće sažaliti.
19 Babylon has been a very beautiful [MTY] city; [all] the people of Babylonia have been very proud of Babylon, [their capital city]; [but] God will destroy Babylon, like [SIM] he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Babilon, ures kraljevstava, ures i ponos kaldejski, bit će k'o Sodoma i Gomora kad ih Bog zatrije.
20 No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted forever. (Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live) will refuse to set up their tents there; shepherds will not bring their flocks of sheep to rest there.
Nikad se više neće naseliti, od koljena do koljena ostat će nenapučen. Arapin ondje neće dizati šatora, nit' će pastiri ondje počivati.
21 Instead, animals that live in the desert will be there; jackals/wolves will live in [the ruins of] the houses. Owls (OR, Ostriches) will live in [the ruins], and wild goats will romp/jump around [there].
Počivat će ondje zvijeri pustinjske, sove će im napuniti kuće, nojevi će ondje stanovati, jarci plesati.
22 Hyenas will howl in the [ruined] towers, and jackals/wolves will make their dens in [the ruins of] the palaces that [were previously] very beautiful. The time when [Babylon will be destroyed] is very near; Babylon will not exist much longer.
Hijene će zavijati iz njegovih palača, a čaglji iz raskošnih dvorova... Vrijeme se njegovo bliži, dani mu se neće produžiti.
