Isaija 21

1 Breme pustinji na moru. Kao vihori koji prolaze na jug, tako æe doæi iz pustinje, iz zemlje strašne.

The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.

2 Ljuta utvara javi mi se. Nevjernik nevjeru èini, pustošnik pustoši; hodi, Elame; opkoli, Midijo! svemu uzdisanju uèiniæu kraj.

A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.

3 Zato su bedra moja puna bola; muke me obuzeše kao kad se muèi porodilja; zgurih se èujuæi, prepadoh se videæi.

Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.

4 Srce mi se smete, groza me poduze; noæ milina mojih pretvori mi se u strah.

Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.

5 Postavi sto, stražar neka straži; jedi, pij; ustajte knezovi, mažite štitove.

Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.

6 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi, postavi stražara da ti javi što vidi.

For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.

7 I vidje kola, i dva reda konjika; kola s magarcima i kola s kamilama; i pažaše dobro velikom pažnjom.

And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.

8 I povika kao lav: gospodaru, ja stojim jednako na straži danju, i stojim na straži po svu noæ.

And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:

9 I evo doðoše na kolima ljudi, u dva reda konjici. Tada povika i reèe: pade, pade Vavilon, i svi rezani likovi bogova njegovijeh razbiše se o zemlju.

And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.

10 Vršaju moj, i pšenice gumna mojega! što èuh od Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga Izrailjeva, javih vam.

O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.

11 Breme Dumi. Vièe k meni neko sa Sira: stražaru! šta bi noæas? stražaru! šta bi noæas?

The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?

12 Stražar reèe: doæi æe jutro, ali i noæ; ako æete tražiti, tražite, vratite se, doðite.

The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.

13 Breme Arapskoj. Po šumama u Arapskoj noæivaæete, putnici Dedanski!

The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.

14 Iznesite vode pred žedne, koji živite u zemlji Temi, sretite s hljebom bjegunca.

O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.

15 Jer æe bježati od maèa, od maèa gologa, od luka zapetoga i od žestokoga boja.

For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.

16 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: za godinu, kao što je godina najamnièka, nestaæe sve slave Kidarske.

For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.

17 I što ostane hrabrijeh strijelaca sinova Kidarskih, biæe malo; jer Gospod Bog Izrailjev reèe.

And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
