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 of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 Ljuta utvara javi mi se. Nevjernik nevjeru èini, pustošnik pustoši; hodi, Elame; opkoli, Midijo! svemu uzdisanju uèiniæu kraj.
A grievous vision is declared to me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made 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 loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold on me, as the pangs of a woman that travails: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 Srce mi se smete, groza me poduze; noæ milina mojih pretvori mi se u strah.
My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure has he turned into fear to me.
5 Postavi sto, stražar neka straži; jedi, pij; ustajte knezovi, mažite štitove.
Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint the shield.
6 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi, postavi stražara da ti javi što vidi.
For thus has the LORD said to me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 I vidje kola, i dva reda konjika; kola s magarcima i kola s kamilama; i pažaše dobro velikom pažnjom.
And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he listened diligently with much heed:
8 I povika kao lav: gospodaru, ja stojim jednako na straži danju, i stojim na straži po svu noæ.
And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
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, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken to the ground.
10 Vršaju moj, i pšenice gumna mojega! što èuh od Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga Izrailjeva, javih vam.
O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared to you.
11 Breme Dumi. Vièe k meni neko sa Sira: stražaru! šta bi noæas? stražaru! šta bi noæas?
The burden of Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 Stražar reèe: doæi æe jutro, ali i noæ; ako æete tražiti, tražite, vratite se, doðite.
The watchman said, The morning comes, and also the night: if you will inquire, inquire you: return, come.
13 Breme Arapskoj. Po šumama u Arapskoj noæivaæete, putnici Dedanski!
The burden on Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall you lodge, O you traveling companies of Dedanim.
14 Iznesite vode pred žedne, koji živite u zemlji Temi, sretite s hljebom bjegunca.
The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
15 Jer æe bježati od maèa, od maèa gologa, od luka zapetoga i od žestokoga boja.
For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: za godinu, kao što je godina najamnièka, nestaæe sve slave Kidarske.
For thus has the LORD said to me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17 I što ostane hrabrijeh strijelaca sinova Kidarskih, biæe malo; jer Gospod Bog Izrailjev reèe.
And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it.
