Isaija 18

1 Teško zemlji koja sjen èini krilima s one strane rijeka Etiopskih;

Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which [is] beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

2 Koja šalje poslanike preko mora, u laðama od site po vodama, govoreæi: idite, brzi glasnici, k narodu rasijanu i oplijenjenu, k narodu strašnu otkako je dosad, k narodu razmjerenu i pogaženu, kojemu zemlju raznose rijeke.

That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

3 Svi koji živite na svijetu i stanujete na zemlji, kad se digne zastava na gorama, gledajte, i kad zatrubi truba, slušajte.

All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

4 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: umiriæu se i gledaæu iz stana svojega, kao vruæina koja suši poslije dažda i kao rosan oblak o vruæini žetvenoj.

For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, [and] like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

5 Jer prije berbe, kad napupe pupci i od cvijeta postane grozd i stane zreti, okresaæe odvode kosijerom, i uzeæe lozu i otsjeæi.

For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away [and] cut down the branches.

6 Sve æe se ostaviti pticama gorskim i zvijerima zemaljskim; i ptice æe ljetovati na njima, a svakojake zvijeri zemaljske zimovaæe.

They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

7 Tada æe se donijeti dar Gospodu nad vojskama od naroda rasijanoga i oplijenjenoga, od naroda strašnoga otkako je dosad, od naroda razmjerenoga i pogaženoga, kojemu zemlju raznose rijeke, k mjestu imena Gospoda nad vojskama, ka gori Sionskoj.

In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
