Isaiah 5
1 [Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
Zapjevat ću svojemu dragome, pjesmu svog ljubljenog njegovu vinogradu. Moj je dragi imao vinograd na brežuljku rodnome.
2 My friend plowed the ground and cleared away the stones. Then he planted very good grapevines on that ground. In the middle of the vineyard, he built a watchtower, and he dug a (winepress/pit for squeezing the grapes). Then he waited [each year] to harvest some good grapes, but the vines produced [only] sour grapes.
Okopa ga, iskrči kamenje, posadi ga lozom plemenitom. Posred njega kulu on podiže i u nj tijesak metnu. Nadaše se da će uroditi grožđem, a on izrodi vinjagu.
3 Now [this is what Yahweh says]: “You people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, I [am like the friend, and you are like] my vineyard; [so] you judge which of us [has done what is right].
Sad, žitelji jeruzalemski i ljudi Judejci, presudite izmeđ' mene i vinograda mojega.
4 What more could I have done for you than what I have already done? I expected you to be doing good deeds [MET], so it is disgusting that [RHQ] you were [doing only evil things] like the vineyard that produced only sour grapes!
Što još mogoh učiniti za svoj vinograd a da nisam učinio? Nadah se da će uroditi grožđem, zašto vinjagu izrodi?
5 [So], I will now tell you what I will do to [Judah, the place that is like] my vineyard. I will cut down the hedges, and they will be destroyed. I will tear down the walls [of the cities] and allow [wild animals] to trample the land.
No sad ću vam reći što ću učiniti od svog vinograda: plot ću mu soriti da ga opustoše, zidinu razvaliti da ga izgaze.
6 I will cause it to become a wasteland where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed. It will be a place where briers and thorns [DOU] grow. And I will command that no rain will fall on it.”
U pustoš ću ga obratiti, ni obrezana ni okopana, nek' u drač i trnje sav zaraste; zabranit ću oblacima da dažde nad njime.
7 The nation of Israel is [like] [MET] the vineyard of the Commander of the armies of angels. The people of Judah are [like] the garden that was pleasing to him. He expected you to be doing what is just/fair, but instead, [what he saw was people] murdering [MTY] others. [He expected that you would be doing] righteous deeds, but instead, he heard cries from people who were being [attacked] violently.
Vinograd Jahve nad Vojskama dom je Izraelov; izabrani nasad njegov ljudi Judejci. Nadao se pravdi, a eto nepravde, nadao se pravičnosti, a eto vapaja.
8 Terrible things will happen to you who continually [illegally] acquire houses and fields. You force one family after another to leave their homes until you are the only ones [HYP] [still] living in the land.
Jao vama koji kuću kući primičete i polje s poljem sastavljate, dok sve mjesto ne zauzmete te postanete jedini u zemlji.
9 [But] I heard the Commander of the armies of angels solemnly declare this: “[Some day], many of those huge houses will be empty/deserted; no one will be living in those beautiful mansions.
Na uši moje reče Jahve nad Vojskama: “Doista, mnoge će kuće opustjeti, velike i lijepe, bit će bez žitelja.
10 The vines on ten acres of land will not produce enough grapes to make (six gallons/22 liters) [of juice/wine], and ten baskets of seed will produce only one basket [of grain].”
Deset rali vinograda dat će samo bačvicu, mjera sjemena dat će samo mjericu.”
11 Terrible things will happen to those who get up early [each] morning to begin drinking alcoholic drinks, and who stay awake until late at night [drinking a lot of wine] until they are completely drunk.
Jao onima što već jutrom na uranku žestokim se pićem zalijevaju i kasno noću sjede vinom raspaljeni.
12 They have [big parties and provide lots of] wine. At their parties, there are [people playing] harps and lyres and tambourines and flutes, but they never think about what Yahweh does or appreciate what he has created.
Na gozbama im harfe i citare, bubnjevi i frule uz vino, a za djelo Jahvino ne mare, ne gledaju djelo ruku njegovih.
13 So, my people will be (exiled/taken to other countries) [far away] because they do not know [about me]. Those who are [now very important and] honored will starve, and the other people will die from thirst.
Stoga će u ropstvo narod moj odvesti, jer nema razumnosti, odličnici njegovi od gladi će umirati, puk njegov od žeđi će gorjeti.
14 [It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)
Da, Podzemlje će razvaliti ždrijelo, razjapit će ralje neizmjerne da se u njih strmoglave odličnici mu i mnoštvo sa svom grajom i veseljem! (Sheol h7585)
15 [Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
Smrtnik će nikom poniknuti, ponizit' se čovjek, oborit će se pogled silnih.
16 But the Commander of the armies of angels will be exalted/praised because of his acting justly. God will show that he is holy by doing righteous/just deeds.
Jahve nad Vojskama uzvisit će se sudom, i Bog će sveti otkrit' svetost svoju.
17 Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
Jaganjci će pasti kao na pašnjacima, a jarci će brstiti po ruševinama bogataškim.
18 Some people constantly tell lies, and [it is as though] they are dragging behind them the wrong things that they have done. Terrible things will happen to them!
Jao onima koji na se krivnju vuku volovskom užadi i grijeh kolskim konopcem -
19 They [make fun of God and] say [to him, ] “Go ahead, do something [to punish us]! We want to see what you will do. You, the Holy One of Israel, should do what you are planning to do, because we want to know what it is.”
onima što govore: “Neka pohiti, neka poteče s djelom svojim da bismo ga vidjeli, neka se približi i završi naum Sveca Izraelova da bismo znali!”
20 Terrible things will happen to those who say that evil is good, and that good is evil, that darkness is light and that light is darkness, that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter.
Jao onima koji zlo dobrom nazivaju, a dobro zlom, koji od tame svjetlost prave, a od svjetlosti tamu, koji gorko slatkim čine, a slatko gorkim!
21 Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
Jao onima koji su mudri u svojim očima i pametni sami pred sobom!
22 Terrible things will happen to those who [think that] [IRO] they are great/heroes because they are able to drink [lots of] wine, and boast about being able to mix good alcoholic drinks.
Jao onima koji su jaki u vinu i junaci u miješanju jakih pića;
23 If people offer them bribes in order that they will enable wicked people not to be punished, they accept those bribes, and they cause people who are innocent to be punished.
onima koji za mito brane krivca, a pravedniku uskraćuju pravdu!
24 Therefore, just like [SIM] fires burn up stubble and dry grass shrivels up and quickly burns in flames, [it will be as though] those people have roots that will rot and have flowers that will wither. [That will happen] because they rejected the laws of the Commander of the armies of angels; they have despised the messages of the Holy One of Israel.
Zato, kao što plameni jezici proždiru slamu i kao što nestaje suha trava u plamenu, tako će korijen njihov istrunuti, poput praha razletjet' se pupoljak njihov, jer odbaciše Zakon Jahve nad Vojskama i prezreše riječ Sveca Izraelova.
25 That is why Yahweh is [extremely] angry [with his people]; [it is as though] his hand is raised [and he is ready to smash them]. [When he does that], the mountains will shake, and the corpses of people will be scattered in the streets like [SIM] manure. But even when that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry; he will be ready to punish his people [MET] again.
Zato se raspali gnjev Jahvin protiv njegova naroda, i on diže ruku na nj i udari ga te se potresoše gore: trupla njihova leže k'o smeće po ulicama, ali gnjev se njegov još ne smiri, ruka mu je sveđer podignuta.
26 Yahweh will send a signal to summon [armies of] nations far away; [it is as though] he will whistle [to summon those soldiers who are] in very remote places on the earth. They will come very swiftly [DOU] [to Jerusalem].
On podiže stijeg ratni narodu dalekom, zazviždi mu na kraj zemlje, i gle: brzo, spremno hita.
27 They will not get tired or stumble. They will not [stop to] rest or to sleep. None of their belts will be loose, and none of them will have sandals with broken straps, [so they will all be ready to fight in battles].
U njemu nema trudna ni sustala, ni dremljiva niti snena, oko boka pojas ne otpasuje, na obući ne driješi remena.
28 Their arrows will be sharp, and their bows will be ready [to shoot those arrows in a battle]. [Because their horses pull the chariots fast], sparks will shoot out from their hooves, and the wheels of the chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
Strijele su mu dobro zašiljene, lukovi mu svi zapeti, kremen su kopita konja njegovih, vihor su točkovi bojnih mu kola.
29 They will roar like [very strong] lions [DOU] that growl and [then] pounce on the animals they want to kill and carry them off, and no one is able to rescue them.
Rika mu je k'o u lava i riče k'o lavovi mladi, reži, grabi plijen i odnosi, a nikoga da mu ga istrgne.
30 [Similarly, your enemies] will roar when they see the people they are about to kill, like [SIM] the sea roars. [On that day], if someone looks across the land, he will see [only people who are in] darkness and distressed; [it will be as though] even the sunlight is hidden by dark clouds.
U dan onaj režat će na njega k'o što more buči. Pogledaš li zemlju - sve tmina, tjeskoba, svjetlost proguta tmina oblačna.
