Isaija 10
1 Teško onima koji postavljaju zakone nepravedne i koji pišu nepravdu,
Alas! for them who ordain iniquitous decrees, —And, busy writers, who make a business of writing mischief:
2 Da odbiju od suda uboge, i da otimaju pravicu siromasima naroda mojega, da bi im plijen bile udovice i sirote grabež.
Turning aside from judgment, the poor, And robbing, of justice, the oppressed of my people, —So that, widows, become, their spoil, And of the fatherless, they make prey.
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, then, will ye do for the day of visitation, And for the devastation, which from afar, shall come? Unto whom, will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your gory?
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.
Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
5 Teško Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, ako i jest palica u ruci njegovoj moja jarost.
Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, —Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure:
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.
Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, —To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.
7 Ali on neæe tako misliti i srce njegovo neæe tako suditi, nego mu je u srcu da zatre i istrijebi mnoge narode.
But as for him, not so, doth he deem, And in his heart, not so, doth he think, —For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;
8 Jer æe reæi: knezovi moji nijesu li svi carevi?
For he saith: —Are not, my generals, all alike, kings?
9 Nije li Halan kao Harhemis? nije li Emat kao Arfad? nije li Samarija kao Damasak?
Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, 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,
As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols, —whose images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 Neæu li uèiniti Jerusalimu i njegovijem lažnijem bogovima onako kako sam uèinio Samariji i njezinijem lažnijem bogovima?
Shall I not as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so, do to Jerusalem and her images?
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.
Wherefore it shall come to pass—When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment—Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria. And upon the vainglory of his uplifted 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 hath said—By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdom—for I have discernment, —That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea their treasures, have I plundered That I might lay prostrate as a mighty one the inhabitants;
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 hath found as a nest the wealth of the peoples, And as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered, —And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth or chirp.
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.
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!
16 Zato æe Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, pustiti na pretile njegove mršu, i slavu æe njegovu potpaliti da gori kao oganj.
Therefore, shall the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And under his glory, shall he kindle a kindling, like the kindling of 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.
So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, 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 garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end, —And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.
19 I što ostane drveta šume njegove, biæe malo, da bi ih dijete moglo popisati.
And, the remnant of his forest-trees, few in number, shall become, —yea, a child, might describe them!
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 it shall come to pass in that day, That the remnant of Israel. And the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, —But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Ostatak æe se obratiti, ostatak Jakovljev, k Bogu silnome.
A remnant, shall return, The remnant of Jacob, —unto 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 thy people, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A [mere] remnant, shall return of them, —A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;
23 Jer æe Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama, izvršiti pogibao odreðenu u svoj zemlji.
For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord Yahweh of hosts executing 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.
Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, —When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt;
25 Jer još malo, i gnjev æe prestati; tada æe se jarost moja obratiti na njihovu pogibao.
For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over their destruction.
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 Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge—Like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, —And his staff being over the sea, He will lift it up in the manner 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 it shall come to pass, in that day, That his burden shall remove from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, —Yea, the yoke shall be broken because of fatness.
28 Doðe u Ajat, proðe u Migron, u Mihmasu rasprti prtljag svoj.
He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron, —At Michmash, storeth his baggage:
29 Poðoše klancem, u Gavaji zanoæiše, prepade se Rama, Gavaja Saulova pobježe.
They have passed over the pass, Geba is his halting-place, —Terror-stricken is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!
30 Vièi iza glasa, kæeri Galimova; nek se èuje u Lais, jadni Anatote!
Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth!
31 Madmina pobježe, stanovnici Gevimski utekoše.
Madmenah, hath fled, —The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety:
32 Još jedan dan, pa æe stajati u Novu, mahnuæe rukom svojom na goru kæeri Sionske, na hum Jerusalimski.
While yet to-day, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward The mount 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 Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree-crown, with a crash, —Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low;
34 I gustu æe šumu isjeæi sjekirom, i Livan æe pasti od silnoga.
Then will he fell the thickets of the forest with iron, —And, Lebanon by a majestic one shall fall.
