Isaiah 26
1 Some day, [people in] Judah will sing this song: Our city [of Jerusalem] is strong! Yahweh protects our city; He is like [MET] a wall that surrounds it.
Тада ће се певати ова песма у земљи Јудиној: Имамо тврд град; зидови су и опкоп спасење.
2 Open the gates of the city for people who are righteous; allow people who faithfully [obey Yahweh] to enter the city.
Отворите врата да уђе народ праведни, који држи веру.
3 Yahweh, those who trust in you, those who firmly resolve to never doubt you, you will enable them to feel perfectly peaceful.
Ко се Тебе држи, чуваш га једнако у миру, јер се у Тебе узда.
4 [So] always trust in Yahweh, because Yahweh, [our God], is forever [like] [MET] a huge rock [under which we are sheltered/protected/safe].
Уздајте се у Господа довека, јер је Господ Господ Вечна стена.
5 He humbles proud people and destroys cities whose people are arrogant. He causes those cities to collapse into the dust/dirt.
Јер понижује оне који наставају на висини, град високи обара, обара га на земљу, обраћа га у прах.
6 [When that happens], poor and oppressed people will trample on the ruins.
Те га гази нога, ноге убогих, стопала невољних.
7 [But as for] righteous people, Yahweh, you do what is right; [it is as though] you cause the paths where they walk to be level and smooth.
Пут је праведнику прав, Ти равниш стазу праведноме.
8 Yahweh, by obeying your laws we show that we trust you to help us; and what we desire is that you will be honored/praised/exalted.
И на путу судова Твојих, Господе, чекамо Те; Твоје име и Твој спомен жуди душа.
9 [All] through the night I [SYN] desire to know you better, and each morning I still want to be with you. [Only] when you come to judge [and punish] people who live on the earth will they learn to do what is right.
Душом својом жудим Тебе ноћу, и духом својим што је у мени тражим Те јутром; јер кад су судови Твоји на земљи, уче се правди који живе у васиљеној.
10 [But] your acting kindly toward wicked people does not cause them to do what is good. [Even] in places where people do what is right, the wicked people continue to do what is evil, and they do not realize that you, Yahweh, are great.
Ако се и помилује безбожник, не учи се правди, у земљи најправеднијој чини безакоње и не гледа на величанство Господње.
11 Yahweh, [it is as though] your fist is raised up [ready to strike them], but they do not realize that. Show them that you are very eager to help your people. If your enemies would realize that, they would be ashamed; allow your fire to burn them up [because they are] your enemies.
Господе! Рука је Твоја високо подигнута, а они не виде; видеће и посрамиће се од ревности за народ, и огањ ће прождрети непријатеље Твоје.
12 Yahweh, [we desire that] you will allow things to go well for us; everything that we have done is what you have enabled us to do.
Господе! Нама ћеш дати мир, јер сва дела наша Ти си нам учинио.
13 Yahweh, our God, others have ruled over us, but you [MTY] are the only one whom we honor.
Господе Боже наш, господарише над нама господари други осим Тебе, али само Тобом помињемо име Твоје.
14 Those who ruled us are [now] gone; they are dead; their spirits have left this earth, and they will not become alive [again]. You punished those rulers and got rid of them, and people do not even remember them any more.
Помреше, неће оживети, мртви будући неће устати, јер си их Ти походио и истребио, затро сваки спомен њихов.
15 Yahweh, you have enabled our nation to become great; we are more in [now], and we have more land, [so we] thank/praise you.
Господе, умножио си народ, умножио си народ и прославио си се, али си их загнао на све крајеве земаљске.
16 Yahweh, when we were distressed, we asked you [to help us]; when you disciplined/punished us, we were able only to whisper when we prayed to you.
Господе, у невољи тражише Те, и зваше покорну молитву кад си их карао.
17 Like pregnant women writhe and cry out when they are giving birth, we suffered very much, too.
Као трудна жена кад хоће да се породи па се мучи и виче од бола, такви бејасмо ми пред Тобом, Господе!
18 We had severe pain, but nothing good resulted [MET] from it. We have not rescued our people [from being conquered by our enemies], and we have not given birth to children [who will rule the world correctly] (OR, not defeated the armies [that have attacked other nations].
Затруднесмо, мучисмо се да родимо, и као да родисмо ветар, никако не помогосмо земљи, нити падоше који живе у васиљеној.
19 But Yahweh’s people who have died will become alive [again], their corpses will become alive! Those whose bodies lie in graves will rise and shout joyfully! His light will be [like] dew that falls on his people who have died, who are [now] in the place where the dead people are, [and will cause them to become alive again].
Оживеће мртви твоји, и моје ће мртво тело устати. Пробудите се, и певајте који станујете у праху; јер је Твоја роса роса на трави, и земља ће изметнути мртваце.
20 But now, my people/fellow-citizens, go home and lock your doors! Hide for a short time, until [Yahweh] is no longer angry.
Хајде народе мој, уђи у клети своје, и закључај врата своја за собом, прикриј се зачас, докле прође гнев.
21 Listen to this: Yahweh will come from heaven to punish [all] the people on the earth for the sins that they have committed. People will be able to see [PRS] the (blood of those/the people) who have been murdered; their murderers will no longer be able to hide.
Јер, гле, Господ излази из места свог да походи становнике земаљске за безакоње њихово, и земља ће открити крв своју нити ће више покривати побијене своје.
