Isaija 16
1 Šaljite jaganjce gospodaru zemaljskom, od Sele do pustinje, ka gori kæeri Sionske.
O Lord, send forth the Lamb, the Ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Jer æe biti kæeri Moavske na brodovima Arnonskim kao ptica koja luta, otjerana s gnijezda.
And this shall be: like a bird fleeing away, and like fledglings flying from the nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the passage of Arnon.
3 Uèini vijeæe, narode, naèini sjen u podne kao noæ, zakloni izagnane, nemoj izdati bjegunaca.
Form a plan. Call a council. Let your shadow be as if it were night, even at midday. Conceal the fugitives, and do not betray the wanderers.
4 Neka kod tebe borave izgnani moji, Moave; budi im zaklon od pustošnika; jer æe nestati nasilnika, prestaæe pustošenje, istrijebiæe se sa zemlje koji gaze druge.
My fugitives will live with you. Become a hiding place, O Moab, from the face of the destroyer. For the dust is at its end; the miserable one has been consumed. He who trampled the earth has failed.
5 I utvrdiæe se prijesto milošæu, i na njemu æe sjedjeti jednako u šatoru Davidovu koji æe suditi i tražiti što je pravo i biti brz da èini pravdu.
And a throne will be prepared in mercy, and One shall sit upon it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment, and quickly repaying what is just.
6 Èusmo za oholost Moava vrlo ponositoga, za ponos njegov i oholost i obijest njegovu; laži njegove neæe biti tvrde.
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. His pride and his arrogance and his indignation is more than his strength.
7 Zato æe ridati Moavac nad Moavcem, svi æe ridati; nad temeljima Kir-Aresetskim uzdisaæete, jer su razvaljeni.
For this reason, Moab will wail to Moab; each one will wail. Speak of their wounds to those who rejoice upon the brick walls.
8 I polja Esevonska posušiše se i èokot Sivamski; gospoda narodna potrše krasne loze njegove, koje dosezahu do Jazira i vijahu se po pustinji; odvode njegove pružahu se i prelažahu preko mora.
For the suburbs of Heshbon are deserted, and the lords of the Gentiles have cut down the vineyard of Sibmah. Its vines have arrived even at Jazer. They have wandered in the desert. Its seedlings have been abandoned. They have crossed over the sea.
9 Zato æu plakati plaèem Jazirskim za èokotom Sivamskim; zaljevaæu te suzama svojim, Esevone i Elealo, jer pjesma o ljetini tvojoj i o žetvi tvojoj pade.
I will weep with the tears of Jazer over this, the vineyard of Sibmah. I will inebriate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh! For the sound of those who trample has rushed over your vintage and over your harvest.
10 I nesta radosti i veselja s polja rodnoga, u vinogradima se ne pjeva ni podvikuje, vina u kacama ne gazi gazilac; uèinih kraj pjesmama.
And so, rejoicing and exultation will be taken away from Carmel, and there will be no jubilation or exultation in the vineyards. He who was accustomed to tread will not tread out the wine in the winepress. I have taken away the sound of those who tread.
11 Zato utroba moja jeèi kao gusle za Moavom, i srce moje za Kir-Eresom.
Over this, my heart will resonate like a harp for Moab, and my inner most being for the brick wall.
12 I kad se vidi da se umorio Moav na visini svojoj, uæi æe u svetinju svoju da se pomoli; ali ništa neæe svršiti.
And this shall be: when it is seen that Moab has struggled upon his high places, he will enter his holy places to pray, but he will not prevail.
13 Ovo je rijeè što reèe Gospod za Moava davno.
This is the word that the Lord has spoken to Moab concerning that time.
14 A sada veli Gospod govoreæi: do tri godine, kao što su godine najamnièke, ološaæe slava Moavova sa svijem mnoštvom njegovijem, i što ostane biæe vrlo malo i nejako.
And now the Lord has spoken, saying: In three years, like the years of a hired hand, the glory of Moab concerning the entire multitude of the people will be taken away, and what is left behind will be small and weak and not so numerous.
