Isaiah 66
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
Ovako govori Jahve: “Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama! Kakvu kuću da mi sagradite i gdje da bude mjesto mog prebivališta?
2 I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
TÓa sve je moja ruka načinila i sve je moje” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ali na koga svoj pogled svraćam? Na siromaha i čovjeka duha ponizna koji od moje riječi dršće.
3 You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
Ima ih koji kolju bika, ali i ljude ubijaju; žrtvuju ovcu, ali i psu vrat lome. Netko prinosi žrtvu, ali i krv svinjsku; prinose kad, ali časte i kipove. Kao što oni izabraše svoje putove i duši im se mile gnusobe njihove,
4 When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
tako ću i ja izabrati za njih nevolje nesmiljene, pustit ću na njih ono čega se plaše. Jer zvao sam, a nitko se ne odazva, govorio sam, a nitko ne posluša, nego su činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabrali ono što mi nije po volji.”
5 But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
Poslušajte riječ Jahvinu, vi koji od njegove riječi dršćete. “Govore braća vaša koja na vas mrze i odbacuju vas radi moga imena: 'Neka se proslavi Jahve, pa da radost vašu vidimo.' Ali oni će biti postiđeni.”
6 [At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
Čuj! Buka iz grada, glas iz Hrama! Glas je to Jahve koji uzvraća svojim neprijateljima.
7 No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
Prije neg' bolove oćutje, eto je rodila. Prije neg' trudove osjeti, porodi dječaka.
8 Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
Tko je takvo što čuo, tko je takvo što vidio? Može li se zemlja u jednom danu napučiti? Može li se narod odjednom roditi? A tek što je osjetila trudove, Sionka rodi sinove!
9 Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
“Zar bih ja otvorio krilo materino a da ono ne rodi?” - govori Jahve. “Zar bih ja, koji dajem rađanje, zatvorio maternicu?” - kaže Bog tvoj.
10 You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
Veselite se s Jeruzalemom, kličite zbog njega svi koji ga ljubite! Radujte se, radujte s njime svi koji ste nad njim tugovali!
11 [You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
Nadojite se i nasitite na dojkama utjehe njegove da se nasišete i nasladite na grudima krepčine njegove.
12 Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, mir ću na njih kao rijeku svratiti i kao potok nabujali bogatstvo naroda. Dojenčad ću njegovu na rukama nositi i milovati na koljenima.
13 I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
Kao što mati tješi sina, tako ću i ja vas utješiti - utješit ćete se u Jeruzalemu.”
14 When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
Kad to vidite, srce će vam se radovati i procvast će vam kosti k'o mlada trava. Očitovat će se ruka Jahvina na njegovim slugama i gnjev nad neprijateljima njegovim.
15 Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
Jer, evo, dolazi Jahve s ognjem - bojna su mu kola poput vihora - da u jarosti gnjev svoj iskali i prijetnje svoje u ognju žarkome.
16 [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
Da, sudit će Jahve ognjem i mačem svakom smrtniku: pobijenih Jahvinih mnoštvo će biti.
17 Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
Oni koji se posvećuju i čiste u vrtovima iza onog jednog u sredini, koji jedu svinjetinu, nečisto i miševe - svi će zajedno izginuti, riječ je Jahvina.
18 I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
Ja dobro poznajem njihova djela i namjere njihove. “Dolazim da saberem sve puke i jezike, i oni će doći i vidjeti moju Slavu!
19 I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
Postavit ću im znak i poslat ću preživjele od njih k narodima u Taršiš, Put, Lud, Mošek, Roš, Tubal i Javan - k dalekim otocima koji nisu čuli glasa o meni ni vidjeli moje Slave - i oni će naviještati Slavu moju narodima.
20 Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
I dovest će svu vašu braću između svih naroda kao prinos Jahvi - na konjima, na bojnim kolima, nosilima, na mazgama i jednogrbim devama - na Svetu goru svoju u Jeruzalemu” - govori Jahve - “kao što sinovi Izraelovi prinose prinos u čistim posudama u Domu Jahvinu.
21 [I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
I uzet ću sebi između njih svećenike, levite” - govori Jahve.
22 I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
“Jer, kao što će nova nebesa i zemlja nova, koju ću stvoriti, trajati preda mnom” - riječ je Jahvina - “tako će vam ime i potomstvo trajati.
23 At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Od mlađaka do mlađaka, od subote do subote, dolazit će svi ljudi da se poklone pred licem mojim” - govori Jahve.
24 Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
Izlazeći, gledat ću trupla ljudi koji se od mene odmetnuše: crv njihov neće umrijeti i njihov se oganj neće ugasiti - bit će na gadost svim ljudima.
