Isaija 13
1 Breme Vavilonu, koje vidje Isaija sin Amosov.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Na gori visokoj podignite zastavu, vièite im iza glasa, mašite rukom, neka uðu na vrata kneževska.
Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Ja sam zapovjedio izabranima svojim i dozvao sam junake svoje da izvrše gnjev moj koji se raduju s velièine moje.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.
4 Vika stoji ljudstva na gorama kao da je velik narod, vika i vreva carstva skupljenijeh naroda; Gospod nad vojskama pregleda vojsku ubojitu.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 Dolaze iz daljne zemlje, s kraja nebesa, Gospod i oruða srdnje njegove, da zatre svu zemlju.
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Ridajte, jer je blizu dan Gospodnji; doæi æe kao pustoš od svemoguæega.
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Zato æe svaka ruka klonuti, i svako srce èovjeèije rastopiti se.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 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.
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
9 Evo, ide dan Gospodnji ljuti s gnjevom i jarošæu da obrati zemlju u pustoš, i grješnike da istrijebi iz nje.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Jer zvijezde nebeske i prilike nebeske neæe pustiti svjetlosti svoje, sunce æe pomrèati o roðaju svom, i mjesec neæe pustiti svjetlosti svoje.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 I pohodiæu vasiljenu za zloæu, i bezbožnike za bezakonje; i ukinuæu razmetanje oholijeh, i ponos silnijeh oboriæu.
And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 Uèiniæu da æe èovjek više vrijediti nego zlato èisto, više nego zlato Ofirsko.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 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.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 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.
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Ko se god naðe, biæe proboden, i koji se god skupe, poginuæe od maèa.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword.
16 I djecu æe im razmrskati na njihove oèi, kuæe æe im oplijeniti i žene æe im sramotiti.
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Evo, ja æu podignuti na njih Mide, koji neæe mariti za srebro, niti æe zlata iskati.
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Nego æe iz lukova djecu ubijati, ni na plod u utrobi neæe se smilovati, niti æe djece žaliti oko njihovo.
[Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 I Vavilon, ures carstvima i dika slavi Haldejskoj, biæe kao Sodom i Gomor kad ih Bog zatr.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 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.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 Nego æe poèivati ondje divlje zvijeri, i kuæe æe njihove biti pune velikih zmija, i ondje æe nastavati sove, i aveti æe skakati onuda.
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 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.
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and her time [is] near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
