< Isaiah 30 >

1 Yahweh says, “Terrible things will happen to you, my people who rebel against me. You make plans, but what you plan is not what I want. You have made an alliance [with the rulers of Egypt], but you did not ask my Spirit [if that was what you should do]. By doing that, you have increased the number of your sins.
Teško sinovima odmetnicima, govori Gospod, koji sastavljaju namjere koje nijesu od mene, zaklanjaju se za zaklon koji nije od moga duha, da domeæu grijeh na grijeh;
2 You went to Egypt [to ask their rulers for help], without asking for my advice. You have trusted in [the army of] the king of Egypt to protect you; you have [trusted in them] [like] people sit in the shade [to protect themselves from the sun] [MET].
Koji slaze u Misir ne pitajuæi šta æu ja reæi, da se ukrijepe silom Faraonovom i da se zaklone pod sjenom Misirskim.
3 [But] the result of your trusting in the king of Egypt is that you will be [disappointed and] disgraced; because of trusting in him, you will be humiliated.
Jer æe vam sila Faraonova biti na sramotu, i zaklon pod sjenom Misirskim na porugu.
4 Officials/ambassadors [from Judah] have gone to Zoan and Hanes [cities in Egypt to make treaties],
Jer knezovi njegovi biše u Soanu, i poslanici njegovi doðoše u Hanes.
5 but all those [who trust in the King of Egypt] will be humiliated, because that nation will not be able to help you; the treaty that you have made [requesting help from them] will be useless; instead, the result will be that you will be humiliated and disgraced [DOU].”
Ali æe se svi posramiti s naroda, koji im neæe pomoæi, niti æe im biti na korist ni na dobit, nego na sramotu i na porugu.
6 [I received from Yahweh] this message about the animals in the southern part of Judah: That area is one where [people experience a lot of] troubles and difficulties, an area where there are male and female lions and various kinds of poisonous snakes. Caravans go through that area taking donkeys and camels loaded with valuable goods. [They are taking them] to Egypt to seek for protection [by the army of Egypt], [but] it will be useless.
Tovar æe biti na stoci južnoj: u zemlju gdje je nevolja i muka, gdje su lavovi i laviæi, guje i zmajevi ognjeni krilati, odnijeæe blago svoje magarcima na ramenima i bogatstvo svoje kamilama na grbama, k narodu koji neæe pomoæi.
7 The promises made by [the king of] Egypt are worthless; therefore I call Egypt ‘the sea monster/dragon that does nothing’.
Jer æe Misirci uzalud i naprazno pomagati; zato vièem o tom: jaèina im je da sjede s mirom.
8 Yahweh told me to write on a scroll a message, in order that it would be a witness [to the people of Judah] that would endure forever.
Sada idi, napiši ovo pred njima na dašèicu, napiši u knjigu, da ostane za vremena koja æe doæi, dovijeka;
9 [It would remind them] that they are deceitful and always rebelling against Yahweh; they refuse to pay attention to what he tells/teaches them.
Jer su narod nepokoran, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neæe da slušaju zakona Gospodnjega;
10 They tell the people who see/receive visions [from Yahweh], “Stop seeing visions!” They tell the prophets, “Do not reveal to us what is right! Tell us pleasant things; do not tell us visions about things that are true!
Koji govore vidiocima: nemojte viðati, i prorocima: nemojte nam prorokovati što je pravo, govorite nam mile stvari, prorokujte prijevaru;
11 Stop doing what you have been doing [DOU]; stop telling us what the Holy One of Israel [says to us]!”
Svrnite s puta, otstupite od staze, neka nestane ispred nas sveca Izrailjeva.
12 Therefore, this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected my message, and you are relying on those who oppress and deceive others.
Zato ovako veli svetac Izrailjev: kad odbacujete ovu rijeè, i uzdate se u prijevaru i opaèinu i na nju se oslanjate,
13 Therefore, the result of your sin [of rejecting me] will be that you will [suddenly experience disasters]; what will happen to you will be like [SIM] a cracked wall that suddenly collapses [DOU].
Zato æe vam to bezakonje biti kao pukotina u zidu koji hoæe da padne, koja izdigne zid visoko, te se naglo ujedanput obori.
14 You will be smashed like a clay jar is smashed [when it is dropped], and it shatters completely, with the result that there is not one piece big enough to carry some coals from a stove or to carry a little bit of water from a well.”
I razbiæe ga kao što se razbija razbijen sud lonèarski, ne žali se, te se ne naðe ni crijepa kad se razbije da uzmeš oganj s ognjišta ili da zahvatiš vode iz jame.
15 Yahweh, [our] God, the Holy One of Israel, [also] says this: “You will be rescued [from your enemies only] if you repent and trust [in what I will do for you]; you will be strong [only] if you quit worrying and trust in me. But you do not want [to do that].
Jer ovako govori Gospod Gospod, svetac Izrailjev: ako se povratite i budete mirni, izbaviæete se, u miru i uzdanju biæe sila vaša; ali vi neæete.
16 You said, ‘No, we will escape on horses [that the army of Egypt will give us]!’ So, you will [try to] flee. You said, ‘We will [escape from the army of Assyria] by riding on swift horses!’ [But] those who pursue you will [also ride] swiftly.
Nego govorite: ne; nego æemo na konjma pobjeæi. Zato æete bježati. Pojahaæemo brze konje. Zato æe biti brži koji æe vas tjerati.
17 [As a result], 1,000 [of you] will flee when [only] one of them pursues you! When only five [of their soldiers] threaten [to kill you], [all of] will flee. [Only a few of] you will be left, like [SIM] a [single] flagpole on top of a mountain with one signal flag on the pole.”
Bježaæe vas tisuæa kad jedan povièe; kad povièu petorica, bježaæete svi, dokle ne ostanete kao okresano drvo navrh gore i kao zastava na humu.
18 [But] wants to be kind to you; he desires to show you that he is merciful. [Do not forget that] Yahweh is a God who acts justly; he is pleased with those who patiently trust in him.
A zato èeka Gospod da se smiluje na vas, i zato æe se uzvisiti da vas pomiluje; jer je Gospod pravedan Bog; blago svjema koji ga èekaju.
19 You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU], [some day] you will not cry any more. Yahweh will be kind to you when you call out to him for help. He will answer/help you as soon as he hears you call.
Jer æe narod nastavati u Sionu, u Jerusalimu; neæeš više plakati, doista æe te pomilovati kad povièeš; èim te èuje, odazvaæe ti se.
20 Although [now] Yahweh has caused you to [daily] experience [MET] great troubles and suffer much, [he], your teacher, will not hide himself from you. He [SYN] will teach you many things clearly.
Premda æe vam Gospod dati hljeba tužnoga i vode nevoljnièke; ali ti se više neæe uzimati uèitelji tvoji, nego æe oèi tvoje gledati uèitelje tvoje,
21 And you will hear him speak to you to guide you. [Right] behind you he will say, “This is the road on which you should walk; walk on this road!”
I uši æe tvoje slušati rijeè iza tebe gdje govori: to je put, idite njim, ako biste svrnuli nadesno ili nalijevo.
22 When that happens, you will destroy [all] your idols that are covered with silver or gold. You will throw them away like you throw away a filthy rag, and you will say to them, “We do not need you any more!”
I oprzniæete posrebrene likove svoje rezane i zlatno odijelo likova livenijeh, i baciæete ih kao neèistotu, i reæi æeš im: odlazite.
23 [If you do that], Yahweh will bless you by giving you good rain at the time that you plant your crops. You will have good harvests, and plenty of pasture with grass for your cattle to eat.
I daæe dažd sjemenu tvojemu koje posiješ na njivi, i hljeb od roda zemaljskoga biæe obilat i sit; tada æe stoka tvoja pasti na paši prostranoj.
24 After the wind [blows away the chaff], the oxen and donkeys that [pull the plow to] plow your ground will have good grain to eat.
Volovi i magarci, što rade zemlju, ješæe èistu zob ovijanu lopatom i rešetom.
25 At that time, when [your enemies] have been slaughtered and their towers have (collapsed/been destroyed), there will be streams flowing down every hill and mountain [in Judah].
I na svakoj gori visokoj i na svakom humu visokom biæe izvori i potoci, kad bude pokolj veliki, kad popadaju kule.
26 The moon will seem to shine as brightly as the sun, and the sun will seem to shine seven times as brightly as previously. That is what it will be like when Yahweh causes [the suffering of] his people [to cease; it will be as though] [MET] he will be putting bandages on their wounds and healing them.
I svjetlost æe mjeseèna biti kao svjetlost sunèana, a svjetlost æe sunèana biti sedam puta veæa, kao svjetlost od sedam dana, kad Gospod zavije ulom narodu svojemu i iscijeli rane koje mu je zadao.
27 [It is as though] we see Yahweh coming from far away; he is extremely angry, and there are thick clouds of smoke around him. By what he says [MTY] he shows that he is angry; what he says is like [SIM] a devastating/destructive fire.
Gle, ime Gospodnje ide izdaleka, gnjev njegov gori i vrlo je težak; usne su mu pune ljutine i jezik mu je kao oganj koji sažiže.
28 His breath is like [SIM] a flood that covers [his enemies] up to their necks. He will separate [MET] the nations in order to destroy [some of them]; [it is as though] he will put hooks in their mouths and take them away.
A duh mu je kao potok koji plavi i dopire do grla, da rasije narode da otidu u ništa, i biæe u èeljustima narodima uzda koja æe ih goniti da lutaju.
29 But [his people] will sing joyfully like they sing during the nights when they celebrate a holy festival. They will be very joyful, like [SIM] [a large group of his people] are joyful when they go up to Zion Hill in Jerusalem, along with men playing flutes [when they are all going there to worship Yahweh]. He is [like] [MET] a huge rock under which [we] Israeli people [are safe].
Pjevaæete kao noæu uoèi praznika, i veseliæete se od srca kao onaj koji ide sa sviralom na goru Gospodnju, k stijeni Izrailjevoj,
30 And Yahweh will enable [us] to hear him speaking powerfully/majestically. He will show us that he [SYN] is very powerful. [We] will see him [SYN] smash [his enemies]. Being very angry, he will descend with a big rainstorm and thunder and hail [to punish them].
I Gospod æe pustiti da se èuje slava glasa njegova, i pokazaæe kako maše rukom svojom s ljutijem gnjevom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire, s raspom i sa silnijem daždem i s gradom.
31 [The soldiers of] Assyria will be terrified when they hear the voice of Yahweh and when he strikes them with his rod.
Jer æe se od glasa Gospodnjega prepasti Asirac, koji je bio palicom.
32 And while Yahweh strikes them to punish them, [his people] will [celebrate by] playing tambourines and harps. [It will be as though] Yahweh will lift up his powerful hand/arm and defeat the Assyrian army in battle.
I kuda god proðe palica pouzdana, kojom æe Gospod navaliti na nj, biæe bubnji i gusle, i ratovima žestokim ratovaæe na njih.
33 [The valley of] Topheth [outside Jerusalem] has been prepared for a long time; it is ready for the king [of Assyria]; the (funeral pyre/pile of wood) [for burning his body] is wide and high, and [it will be as though] Yahweh will light the fire with his breath, which will come out like a stream of burning sulfur.
Jer je veæ pripravljen Tofet, i samom caru pripravljen je, naèinio je dubok i širok; mjesta, ognja i drva ima mnogo; dah Gospodnji kao potok sumporni upaliæe ga.
