< Isaiah 13 >

1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen:
Breme Vavilonu, koje vidje Isaija sin Amosov.
2 'On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of nobles.
Na gori visokoj podignite zastavu, vièite im iza glasa, mašite rukom, neka uðu na vrata kneževska.
3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.'
Ja sam zapovjedio izabranima svojim i dozvao sam junake svoje da izvrše gnjev moj koji se raduju s velièine moje.
4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, Jehovah of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
Vika stoji ljudstva na gorama kao da je velik narod, vika i vreva carstva skupljenijeh naroda; Gospod nad vojskama pregleda vojsku ubojitu.
5 They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
Dolaze iz daljne zemlje, s kraja nebesa, Gospod i oruða srdnje njegove, da zatre svu zemlju.
6 Howl ye, for near [is] the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.
Ridajte, jer je blizu dan Gospodnji; doæi æe kao pustoš od svemoguæega.
7 Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.
Zato æe svaka ruka klonuti, i svako srce èovjeèije rastopiti se.
8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames — their faces!
I oni æe se smesti, muke i bolovi spopašæe ih, muèiæe se kao porodilja, prepašæe se jedan od drugoga, lica æe im biti kao plamen.
9 Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it.
Evo, ide dan Gospodnji ljuti s gnjevom i jarošæu da obrati zemlju u pustoš, i grješnike da istrijebi iz nje.
10 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come forth.
Jer zvijezde nebeske i prilike nebeske neæe pustiti svjetlosti svoje, sunce æe pomrèati o roðaju svom, i mjesec neæe pustiti svjetlosti svoje.
11 And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low.
I pohodiæu vasiljenu za zloæu, i bezbožnike za bezakonje; i ukinuæu razmetanje oholijeh, i ponos silnijeh oboriæu.
12 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
Uèiniæu da æe èovjek više vrijediti nego zlato èisto, više nego zlato Ofirsko.
13 Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of his anger.
Zato æu zatresti nebo, i zemlja æe se pokrenuti sa svoga mjesta od jarosti Gospoda nad vojskama i u dan kad se raspali gnjev njegov.
14 And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people — they turn, And each unto his land — they flee.
I biæe kao srna poplašena i kao stado kojega niko ne sabira; svak æe gledati za svojim narodom, i svak æe bježati u svoju zemlju.
15 Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword.
Ko se god naðe, biæe proboden, i koji se god skupe, poginuæe od maèa.
16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.
I djecu æe im razmrskati na njihove oèi, kuæe æe im oplijeniti i žene æe im sramotiti.
17 Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold — they delight not in it.
Evo, ja æu podignuti na njih Mide, koji neæe mariti za srebro, niti æe zlata iskati.
18 And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.
Nego æe iz lukova djecu ubijati, ni na plod u utrobi neæe se smilovati, niti æe djece žaliti oko njihovo.
19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
I Vavilon, ures carstvima i dika slavi Haldejskoj, biæe kao Sodom i Gomor kad ih Bog zatr.
20 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there.
Neæe se u njemu živjeti niti æe se ko naseliti od koljena do koljena, niti æe Arapin razapeti u njemu šatora, niti æe pastiri poèivati onuda.
21 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there.
Nego æe poèivati ondje divlje zvijeri, i kuæe æe njihove biti pune velikih zmija, i ondje æe nastavati sove, i aveti æe skakati onuda.
22 And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come [is] her time, And her days are not drawn out!
I dovikivaæe se buljine u pustijem kuæama i zmajevi u dvorima veselijem. A doæi æe njegovo vrijeme, i blizu je, i dani njegovi neæe se protegnuti.
