Isaija 17
1 Breme Damasku. Gle, Damasak æe se ukinuti da ne bude više grad, nego æe biti gomila razvalina.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 Gradovi Aroirski biæe ostavljeni, biæe za stada, te æe u njima poèivati, i niko ih neæe plašiti.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 Nestaæe gradova Jefremovijeh i carstva u Damasku i ostatku Sirskom, biæe kao slava sinova Izrailjevijeh, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
And the fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 I u taj æe dan istanèati slava Jakovljeva, i debelo tijelo njegovo omršaæe.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 Jer æe biti kao kad žetelac sabira žito i rukom žanje klasje, i biæe kao kad se kupi klasje u dolini Rafajskoj.
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Ali æe se ostaviti u njoj pabirci kao kad se otrese maslina, pa dvije tri ostanu u vrhu, i èetiri pet na rodnijem granama, veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev.
Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.
7 U to æe vrijeme èovjek pogledati na tvorca svojega, i oèi njegove gledaæe na sveca Izrailjeva;
In that day shall men look unto their Maker, and their eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 A neæe pogledati na oltare, djelo ruku svojih, niti æe gledati na ono što su naèinili prsti njegovi, ni na lugove ni na likove sunèane.
And they shall not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they have respect to that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
9 U to æe vrijeme tvrdi gradovi njegovi biti kao ostavljen grm i ogranak, jer æe se ostaviti radi sinova Izrailjevijeh, i biæe pustoš.
In that day shall their strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation.
10 Jer si zaboravio Boga spasenja svojega, i nijesi se sjeæao stijene sile svoje; zato sadi krasne sadove i lozu stranu presaðuj;
For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips.
11 Danju radi da uzraste što posadiš, i jutrom gledaj da ti sjeme nikne; ali kad doðe do branja razgrabiæe se, i ostaæe ti ljuta žalost.
In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom; but the harvest fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Teško mnoštvu velikih naroda, što buèe kao što buèe mora, i uzavrelijem narodima, kojih stoji vreva kao silnijeh voda;
Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 Vreva stoji naroda kao velikih voda; ali æe povikati na njih, i oni æe pobjeæi daleko, i biæe gonjeni kao pljeva po brdima od vjetra i kao prah od vihora.
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
14 Uveèe eto straha, i prije nego svane nema nikoga. To je dio onijeh koji nas gaze, i našljedstvo onijeh koji otimlju od nas.
At eventide, behold, terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that despoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
