Isaija 2
1 Rijeè koja doðe u utvari Isaiji sinu Amosovu za Judu i za Jerusalim.
This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
2 Biæe u potonja vremena gora doma Gospodnjega utvrðena uvrh gora i uzvišena iznad humova, i stjecaæe se k njoj svi narodi.
[I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
3 I iæi æe mnogi narodi govoreæi: hodite da idemo na goru Gospodnju, u dom Boga Jakovljeva, i uèiæe nas svojim putovima, i hodiæemo stazama njegovijem; jer æe iz Siona izaæi zakon, i rijeè Gospodnja iz Jerusalima.
People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
4 I sudiæe meðu narodima, i karaæe mnoge narode, te æe raskovati maèeve svoje na raonike, i koplja svoja na srpove, neæe dizati maèa narod na narod, niti æe se više uèiti boju.
Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
5 Dome Jakovljev, hodi da idemo po svjetlosti Gospodnjoj.
You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
6 Ali si ostavio svoj narod, dom Jakovljev, jer su puni zala istoènijeh i gataju kao Filisteji, i mili su im sinovi tuðinski.
[Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
7 I zemlja je njihova puna srebra i zlata, i blagu njihovu nema kraja; zemlja je njihova puna konja, i kolima njihovijem nema kraja.
Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
8 Puna je zemlja njihova i idola; djelu ruku svojih klanjaju se, što naèiniše prsti njihovi.
[But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
9 I klanjaju se prosti ljudi, i savijaju se glavni ljudi; nemoj im oprostiti.
So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
10 Uði u stijenu, i sakrij se u prah od straha Gospodnjega i od slave velièanstva njegova.
All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
11 Ponosite oèi èovjeèije poniziæe se, i visina ljudska ugnuæe se, a Gospod æe sam biti uzvišen u onaj dan.
Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
12 Jer æe doæi dan Gospoda nad vojskama na sve ohole i ponosite i na svakoga koji se podiže, te æe biti poniženi,
The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
13 I na sve kedre Livanske velike i visoke i na sve hrastove Vasanske,
[He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
14 I na sve gore visoke i na sve humove izdignute,
He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
15 I na svaku kulu visoku i na svaki zid tvrdi,
He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
16 I na sve laðe Tarsiske i na sve likove mile.
He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
17 Tada æe se ponositost ljudska ugnuti i visina se ljudska poniziti, i Gospod æe sam biti uzvišen u onaj dan.
He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
18 I idola æe nestati sasvijem.
All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
19 I ljudi æe iæi u peæine kamene i u rupe zemaljske od straha Gospodnjega i od slave velièanstva njegova, kad ustane da potre zemlju.
When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
20 Tada æe baciti èovjek idole svoje srebrne i idole svoje zlatne, koje naèini sebi da im se klanja, krticama i slijepijem mišima,
On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
21 Ulazeæi u rasjeline kamene i u peæine kamene od straha Gospodnjega i od slave velièanstva njegova, kad ustane da potre zemlju.
Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
22 Proðite se èovjeka, kojemu je dah u nosu; jer šta vrijedi?
[So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
