Isaiah 21
1 The birthun of the forsakun see. As whirlewyndis comen fro the southwest, it cometh fro desert, fro the orible lond.
Proroštvo primorskoj pustinji. Kao što vihori, hujeći nad Negebom, dolaze iz pustinje, kraja strahotna
2 An hard reuelacioun is teld to me; he that is vnfeithful, doith vnfeithfuli; and he that is a distriere, distrieth. Thou Helam, stie, and thou, Meda, biseche; Y made al the weilyng therof for to ceesse.
- otkri mi se u strašnom viđenju - tako pljačkaš pljačka, pustošnik pustoši. “Navali, Elame, opsjedni, Medijo! Dokrajčit ću sve jauke.”
3 Therfor my leendis ben fillid with sorewe; angwische weldide me, as the angwisch of a womman trauelynge of child; Y felle doun, whanne Y herde; Y was disturblid, whanne Y siy.
Zato bedra moja probadaju grčevi; bolovi me spopadaju k'o trudovi porodilju; od smućenosti ogluših, od straha obnevidjeh.
4 Myn herte fadide, derknessis astonieden me; Babiloyne, my derlyng, is set to me in to myracle.
Srce mi dršće, groza me obuze, sumrak za kojim čeznuh postade mi užas.
5 Sette thou a boord, biholde thou in to a toting place; rise, ye princes, etynge and drynkynge, take ye scheeld.
Postavljaju stol, prostiru stolnjak, jede se i pije ... Ustajte, knezovi, mažite štit!
6 For whi the Lord seide these thingis to me, Go thou, and sette a lokere; and telle he, what euer thing he seeth.
Jer Gospod mi ovako reče: “Idi, postavi stražara! Što vidi, nek' javi.
7 And he siy the chare of tweyne horse men, the stiere of an asse, and the stiere of a camel; and he bihelde diligentli with myche lokyng,
Vidi li konjanike, jahače udvojene, jahače na magarcima, jahače na devama, neka dobro pazi s pažnjom napetom!”
8 and criede as a lioun, Y stonde contynueli bi dai on the totyng place of the Lord, and Y stonde bi alle nyytis on my kepyng.
A stražar viknu: “Povazdan, Gospodaru, stojim na stražarnici, čitavu noć na straži prostojim.”
9 Lo! this cometh, a man stiere of a carte of horse men. And Isaie criede, and seide, Babiloyne felle doun, felle doun; and alle the grauun ymagis of goddis therof ben al to-brokun in to erthe.
I gle, dolaze konjanici, jahači udvojeni. Oni mi viknuše, oni rekoše: “Pade, pade Babilon! Svi kipovi njegovih bogova o zemlju se razbiše.”
10 Mi threschyng, and the douyter of my cornfloor, Y haue teld to you what thingis Y herde of the Lord of oostis, of God of Israel.
Omlaćeno žito, čedo gumna moga, što čuh od Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga Izraelova, objavih vam!
11 The birthun of Duma. It crieth fro Seir to me, Kepere, what our of the niyt? `kepere, what our of the niyt?
Proroštvo o Edomu. Viču mi iz Seira: “Stražaru, koje je doba noći? Stražaru, koje je doba noći?”
12 The kepere seide, Morewtid cometh, and niyt; if ye seken, seke ye, and be ye conuertid, and `come ye.
Stražar odgovori: “Dolazi jutro, a zatim opet noć. Hoćete li pitati, pitajte, vratite se, dođite!”
13 The birthun in Arabie. In the forest at euentid ye schulen slepe, in the pathis of Dodanym.
Proroštvo o Arapima. U šikarama pustinjskim počivate, dedanske karavane.
14 Ye that dwellen in the lond of the south, renne, and bere watir to the thristi; and renne ye with looues to hym that fleeth.
Vodu iznesite pred žedne, stanovnici zemlje temske, iziđite s kruhom pred bjegunca.
15 For thei fledden fro the face of swerdis, fro the face of swerd neiyynge, fro the face of bouwe bent, fro the face of greuouse batel.
Pred mačevima bježe oni, pred mačem trgnutim, pred lukom zapetim, pred bojem žestokim.
16 For the Lord seith these thingis to me, Yit in o yeer, as in the yeer of an hirid man, and al the glorie of Cedar schal be takun awei.
Da, ovako mi reče Gospod: “Još jedna godina, godina nadničarska, i nestat će sve slave Kedrove.
17 And the remenauntis of the noumbre of stronge archeris of the sones of Cedar schulen be maad lesse; for whi the Lord God of Israel spak.
A od mnogobrojnih strijelaca među hrabrim sinovima Kedrovim malo će ih ostati.” Tako je govorio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.
