Avakum 2
1 Na straži svojoj stadoh, i stajah na kuli, i motrah da vidim šta æe mi reæi i šta bih odgovorio onome koji me koraše.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 I odgovori mi Gospod i reèe: piši utvaru, i da bude razgovijetno na ploèama da se lako èita.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.
3 Jer æe još biti utvara do odreðenoga vremena, i govoriæe šta æe biti do pošljetka i neæe slagati; ako oklijeva, èekaj je, jer æe zacijelo doæi, i neæe odocniti.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Gle, ko se ponosi, njegova duša nije prava u njemu; a pravednik æe od vjere svoje živ biti.
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 A kako vino vara, taki je èovjek ohol, niti ostaje u stanu; jer raširuje duh svoj kao grob, i kao smrt je, koja se ne može nasititi i zbira k sebi sve narode i skuplja k sebi sva plemena. (Sheol h7585)
Yea also, because he trangresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations, and heaps unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)
6 Neæe li ga svi oni uzeti u prièu i u zagonetke, i reæi: teško onom koji umnožava što nije njegovo! dokle æe? i koji trpa na se gusto blato.
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that loads himself with thick clay!
7 Neæe li najedanput ustati oni koji æe te gristi? i neæe li se probuditi oni koji æe te rastrzati, i kojima æeš biti grabež?
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?
8 Što si ti oplijenio mnoge narode, tebe æe oplijeniti sav ostatak od naroda, za krv ljudsku i za nasilje uèinjeno zemlji, gradu i svjema koji žive u njemu.
Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Teško onome koji se lakomi na gadan dobitak kuæi svojoj, da postavi gnijezdo svoje na visokom mjestu i saèuva se oda zla.
Woe to him that covers an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Smislio si sramotu kuæi svojoj da zatreš mnoge narode, i ogriješio si se o svoju dušu.
You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.
11 Jer æe kamen iz zida vikati, i èvor iz drveta svjedoèiæe.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Teško onome koji gradi grad krvlju i osniva grad nepravdom!
Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Gle, nije li od Gospoda nad vojskama da ljudi rade za oganj i narodi se trude ni za što?
Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 Jer æe se zemlja napuniti poznanja slave Gospodnje kao što je more puno vode.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Teško onome koji poji bližnjega svojega, dodaje mijeh svoj da bi ga opojio i gledao mu golotinju.
Woe unto him that gives his neighbour drink, that put your bottle to him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!
16 Nasitiæeš se sramote mjesto slave, pij i ti, i otkrij golotinju svoju; doæi æe k tebi èaša u desnici Gospodnjoj, i bljuvotina æe sramna biti na slavi tvojoj.
You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.
17 Jer nasilje uèinjeno Livanu pokriæe te i pustoš meðu zvijerjem koja ga je plašila, za krv ljudsku i nasilje uèinjeno zemlji, gradu i svjema koji žive u njemu.
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 Šta pomaže rezan lik što ga izreza umjetnik njegov? šta liven lik i uèitelj laži, te se umjetnik uzda u djelo svoje gradeæi nijeme idole?
What profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Teško onome koji govori drvetu: preni se! i nijemu kamenu: probudi se! Hoæe li on uèiti? Eto, obložen je zlatom i srebrom, a nema duha u njemu.
Woe unto him that says to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 A Gospod je u svetoj crkvi svojoj; muèi pred njim, sva zemljo!
But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
