< Isaiah 26 >

1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
Tada æe se pjevati ova pjesma u zemlji Judinoj: imamo tvrd grad; zidovi su i opkop spasenje.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
Otvorite vrata da uðe narod pravedni, koji drži vjeru.
3 You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
Ko se tebe drži, èuvaš ga jednako u miru, jer se u tebe uzda.
4 Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
Uzdajte se u Gospoda dovijeka, jer je Gospod Gospod vjeèna stijena.
5 For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
Jer ponižuje one koji nastavaju na visini, grad visoki obara, obara ga na zemlju, obraæa ga u prah.
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.”
Te ga gazi noga, noge ubogih, stopala nevoljnijeh.
7 The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
Put je pravedniku prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednome.
8 Yes, in the way of your judgments, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
I na putu sudova tvojih, Gospode, èekamo te; tvoje ime i tvoj spomen žudi duša.
9 With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Dušom svojom žudim tebe noæu, i duhom svojim što je u meni tražim te jutrom; jer kad su sudovi tvoji na zemlji, uèe se pravdi koji žive u vasiljenoj.
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD’s majesty.
Ako se i pomiluje bezbožnik, ne uèi se pravdi, u zemlji najpravednijoj èini bezakonje i ne gleda na velièanstvo Gospodnje.
11 LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
Gospode! ruka je tvoja visoko podignuta, a oni ne vide; vidjeæe i posramiæe se od revnosti za narod, i oganj æe proždrijeti neprijatelje tvoje.
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
Gospode! nama æeš dati mir, jer sva djela naša ti si nam uèinio.
13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name.
Gospode Bože naš, gospodariše nad nama gospodari drugi osim tebe, ali samo tobom pominjemo ime tvoje.
14 The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
Pomriješe, neæe oživjeti, mrtvi buduæi neæe ustati, jer si ih ti pohodio i istrijebio, zatro svaki spomen njihov.
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
Gospode, umnožio si narod, umnožio si narod i proslavio si se, ali si ih zagnao na sve krajeve zemaljske.
16 LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
Gospode, u nevolji tražiše te, izlivaše pokornu molitvu kad si ih karao.
17 Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.
Kao trudna žena kad hoæe da se porodi pa se muèi i vièe od bola, taki bijasmo mi pred tobom, Gospode!
18 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Zatrudnjesmo, muèismo se da rodimo, i kao da rodismo vjetar, nikako ne pomogosmo zemlji, niti padoše koji žive u vasiljenoj.
19 Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
Oživjeæe mrtvi tvoji, i moje æe mrtvo tijelo ustati. Probudite se, i pjevajte koji stanujete u prahu; jer je tvoja rosa rosa na travi, i zemlja æe izmetnuti mrtvace.
20 Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
Hajde narode moj, uði u klijeti svoje, i zakljuèaj vrata svoja za sobom, prikrij se za èas, dokle proðe gnjev.
21 For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
Jer, gle, Gospod izlazi iz mjesta svojega da pohodi stanovnike zemaljske za bezakonje njihovo, i zemlja æe otkriti krvi svoje niti æe više pokrivati pobijenijeh svojih.
