Isaiah 7
1 And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it.
U dane judejskoga kralja Ahaza, sina Jotamova, sina Uzijina, aramski kralj Rason i izraelski kralj Pekah, sin Remalijin, zavojštiše na Jeruzalem, ali ga ne mogoše zauzeti.
2 And it is declared to the house of David, saying, 'Aram hath been led towards Ephraim,' And his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of wind.
Tada dojaviše domu Davidovu: “Aramci se utaborili u Efrajimu.” Na tu vijest uzdrhta srce kraljevo i srce svega naroda, kao što u šumi drveće ustrepti od vjetra.
3 And Jehovah saith unto Isaiah, 'Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller's field,
I Jahve reče Izaiji: “Iziđi pred Ahaza, ti i sin tvoj Šear Jašub, do nakraj vodovoda gornjeg ribnjaka na putu u Valjarevo polje.
4 and thou hast said unto him: 'Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, And let not thy heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah.
Reci mu: 'Pazi, smiri se, ne boj se, i nek' ti ne premire srce od ovih dvaju ugaraka zadimljenih, od raspaljenog bijesa Rasona aramskog i sina Remalijina,
5 Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
jer Aram, Efrajim i sin Remalijin smisliše tvoju propast.'
6 We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst — The son of Tabeal.
Pođimo, rekoše, na Judeju, uplašimo je i osvojimo da u njoj zakraljimo sina Tabelova.
7 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It doth not stand, nor shall it be!
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'To se neće zbiti: toga biti neće!
8 For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty and five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] a people.
[8a] Damask je glava Aramcima, a Damasku je glava Rason;
9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If ye do not give credence, Surely ye are not stedfast.'
Samarija je glava Efrajimcima, a Samariji glava je Remalija. [8b]Još šezdeset i pet godina, i Efrajim, razoren, neće više biti narod. [9b] Ako se na me ne oslonite, održat' se nećete!”
10 And Jehovah addeth to speak unto Ahaz, saying:
Jahve opet progovori Ahazu i reče mu:
11 'Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, Make deep the request, or make [it] high upwards.' (Sheol h7585)
“Zaišti od Jahve, Boga svoga, jedan znak za sebe iz dubine Podzemlja ili gore iz visina.” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz saith, 'I do not ask nor try Jehovah.'
Ali Ahaz odgovori: “Ne, neću iskati i neću iskušavati Jahvu.”
13 And he saith, 'Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God?
Tada reče Izaija: “Čujte, dome Davidov. Zar vam je malo dodijavati ljudima, pa i Bogu mom dodijavate!
14 Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,
Zato, sam će vam Gospodin dati znak: Evo, začet će djevica i roditi sina i nadjenut će mu ime Emanuel!
15 Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
Vrhnjem i medom on će se hraniti dok ne nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro.
16 For before the youth doth know To refuse evil, and to fix on good, Forsaken is the land thou art vexed with, because of her two kings.
Jer prije nego dječak nauči odbacivat' zlo i birati dobro, opustjet će zemlja, zbog koje strepiš, od dvaju kraljeva.
17 Jehovah bringeth on thee, and on thy people, And on the house of thy father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.
Protiv tebe i protiv tvog naroda i protiv kuće oca tvojega dovest će Jahve dane kakvih ne bijaše otkad se Efrajim odvoji od Jude - kralja asirskoga.
18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah doth hiss for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur.
U dan onaj zazviždat će Jahve muhama na ušću egipatskih rijeka i pčelama u zemlji asirskoj
19 And they have come, and rested all of them in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
da dođu i popadaju po strmim dolovima, po rasjelinama stijena, po svim trnjacima i svim pojilištima.
20 In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth.
U dan onaj Gospod će obrijati britvom najmljenom s onu stranu Eufrata - kraljem asirskim - kosu s glave, dlake s nogu i bradu s obraza.
21 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
U dan onaj svatko će hraniti po kravu i dvije ovce
22 And it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land.
i od obilja mlijeka koje će mu dati hranit će se vrhnjem; vrhnjem i medom hranit će se koji god u zemlji preostanu.
23 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for briers and for thorns.
U dan onaj gdje god bijaše tisuću čokota, vrijednih tisuću srebrnika, izrast će drač i trnje.
24 With arrows and with bow he cometh thither, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
Onamo će polaziti sa strijelom i lukom, jer sva će zemlja u drač i trnje zarasti.
25 And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order, Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!'
A po svim gorama gdje se motikom kopalo nitko više neće ići, strašeći se trnja i drača: onuda će goveda pasti i gaziti ovce.”
