Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.
2 Hear, heavens, and give ear, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against me.
Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: “Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's feeding trough, but Israel does not know, Israel does not understand.”
Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.”
4 Woe! Nation, sinners, a people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned Yahweh, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have estranged themselves from him.
Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.
5 Why are you still being beaten? Why do you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart is weak.
TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;
6 From the sole of the foot to the head there is no part unharmed; only wounds, and bruises, and fresh open wounds; they have not been closed, cleansed, bandaged, nor treated with oil.
od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.
7 Your country is ruined; your cities are burned; your fields—in your presence, strangers are destroying them— abandoned devastation, overthrown by strangers.
Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, like a shed in a garden of cucumbers, like a besieged city.
Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.
9 If Yahweh of hosts had not left for us a small remnant, we would have been like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.
10 Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:
Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!
11 “What is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats I do not delight.
“Što će mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?” - govori Jahve. - “Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this of you, to trample my courts?
Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?
13 Bring no more meaningless offerings; incense is an abomination to me; your new moon and Sabbath assemblies—I cannot tolerate these wicked assemblies.
Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.
14 I hate your new moons and your appointed feasts; they are a burden to me; I am tired of enduring them.
Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!
15 So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even though you offer many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,
16 Wash, cleanse yourselves; remove the evil of your deeds from my sight; stop being evil;
operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!
17 learn to do good; seek justice, make straight the oppression, give justice to the fatherless, defend the widow.”
Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.”
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh; “though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.
“Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo,” govori Jahve. “Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet će poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat će kao vuna.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land,
Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.
20 but if you refuse and rebel, the sword will devour you,” for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.” Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She who was full of justice—she was full of righteousness, but now she is full of murderers.
Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.
22 Your silver has become impure, your wine mixed with water.
Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.
23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after payoffs. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the widow's legal plea come before them.
Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.
24 Therefore this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Woe to them! I will take vengeance against my adversaries, and avenge myself against my enemies;
Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: “Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!
25 I will turn my hand against you, refine away your dross as with lye, and take away all your dross.
Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!
26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; after that you will be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.”
Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.”
27 Zion will be redeemed by justice, and her repentant ones by righteousness.
Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.
28 Rebels and sinners will be crushed together, and those who abandon Yahweh will be done away with.
Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.
29 “For you will be ashamed of the sacred oak trees that you desired, and you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.
30 For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water.
Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.
31 The strong man will be like tinder, and his work like a spark; they will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
