Isaija 10
1 Teško onima koji postavljaju zakone nepravedne i koji pišu nepravdu,
Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
2 Da odbiju od suda uboge, i da otimaju pravicu siromasima naroda mojega, da bi im plijen bile udovice i sirote grabež.
in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
3 A što æete èiniti u dan pohoðenja i pogibli koja æe doæi izdaleka? kome æete pribjeæi za pomoæ? gdje li æete ostaviti slavu svoju?
What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
4 Da se ne bi unizila meðu roblje i meðu pobijene pala? Kod svega toga neæe se odvratiti gnjev njegov, nego æe ruka njegova još biti podignuta.
so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
5 Teško Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, ako i jest palica u ruci njegovoj moja jarost.
Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
6 Na narod licemjerni poslaæu ga, i zapovjediæu mu za narod na koji se gnjevim, da plijeni i otima, i da ga izgazi kao blato na ulicama.
I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
7 Ali on neæe tako misliti i srce njegovo neæe tako suditi, nego mu je u srcu da zatre i istrijebi mnoge narode.
But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
8 Jer æe reæi: knezovi moji nijesu li svi carevi?
For he will say:
9 Nije li Halan kao Harhemis? nije li Emat kao Arfad? nije li Samarija kao Damasak?
“Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Kako je ruka moja našla carstva lažnijeh bogova, kojih likovi bijahu jaèi od Jerusalimskih i Samarijskih,
In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
11 Neæu li uèiniti Jerusalimu i njegovijem lažnijem bogovima onako kako sam uèinio Samariji i njezinijem lažnijem bogovima?
Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
12 Ali kad svrši Gospod sve djelo svoje na gori Sionskoj i u Jerusalimu, tada æu obiæi plod ohologa srca cara Asirskoga i slavu ponositijeh oèiju njegovijeh.
And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 Jer reèe: krjepošæu ruke svoje uèinih i mudrošæu svojom, jer sam razuman; i premjestih meðe narodima i blago njihovo zaplijenih i kao junak oborih stanovnike.
For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
14 I ruka moja naðe kao gnijezdo bogatstvo u naroda, i kako se kupe jajca ostavljena tako pokupih svu zemlju, i ne bi nikoga da makne krilom ili da otvori usta i pisne.
And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
15 Hoæe li se sjekira velièati nad onijem koji njom sijeèe? hoæe li se pila razmetati nad onijem koji njom radi? kao da bi prut mahao onijem koji ga digne, kao da bi se hvalio štap da nije od drveta.
Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
16 Zato æe Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, pustiti na pretile njegove mršu, i slavu æe njegovu potpaliti da gori kao oganj.
Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
17 Jer æe vidjelo Izrailjevo biti oganj, i svetac æe njegov biti plamen, i upaliæe i sažeæi trnje njegovo i èkalj njegov u jedan dan.
And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
18 I krasotu šume njegove i njive njegove, od duše do tijela, uništiæe, i biæe kao bjegunac kad iznemogne.
And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
19 I što ostane drveta šume njegove, biæe malo, da bi ih dijete moglo popisati.
And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
20 I u to vrijeme ostatak Izrailjev i koji se izbave u domu Jakovljevu neæe se više oslanjati na onoga ko ih bije, nego æe se oslanjati na Gospoda sveca Izrailjeva istinom.
And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Ostatak æe se obratiti, ostatak Jakovljev, k Bogu silnome.
The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
22 Jer ako bude naroda tvojega, Izrailju, kao pijeska morskoga, ostatak æe se njegov obratiti. Pogibao je odreðena, razliæe se pravda.
For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
23 Jer æe Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, izvršiti pogibao odreðenu u svoj zemlji.
For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
24 Zato ovako veli Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama: ne boj se Asirca, narode moj, koji nastavaš na gori Sionu; prutom æe te udariti i štap svoj podignuæe na te kao u Misiru.
For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
25 Jer još malo, i gnjev æe prestati; tada æe se jarost moja obratiti na njihovu pogibao.
But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
26 Jer æe podignuti na nj Gospod nad vojskama biè, te æe biti kao rasap Madijanski kod kamena Oriva i kao štap njegov na moru, i podignuæe ga kao u Misiru.
And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
27 I tada æe se skinuti breme njegovo s ramena tvojega i jaram njegov s vrata tvojega, i izlomiæe se jaram od pomazanja.
And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
28 Doðe u Ajat, proðe u Migron, u Mihmasu rasprti prtljag svoj.
He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
29 Poðoše klancem, u Gavaji zanoæiše, prepade se Rama, Gavaja Saulova pobježe.
They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Vièi iza glasa, kæeri Galimova; nek se èuje u Lais, jadni Anatote!
Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
31 Madmina pobježe, stanovnici Gevimski utekoše.
Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
32 Još jedan dan, pa æe stajati u Novu, mahnuæe rukom svojom na goru kæeri Sionske, na hum Jerusalimski.
It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Gle, Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, okresaæe silom grane; što je visoko posjeæi æe, i što je uzdignuto sniziæe.
Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 I gustu æe šumu isjeæi sjekirom, i Livan æe pasti od silnoga.
And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
