Isaija 24
1 Gle, Gospod æe isprazniti zemlju i opustiti je, prevrnuæe je i rasijaæe stanovnike njezine.
Look, the LORD makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
2 I biæe sveštenik kao narod, gospodar kao sluga, gospoða kao sluškinja, prodavac kao kupac, koji daje u zajam kao koji uzima u zajam, koji uzima dobit kao koji daje.
It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
3 Sasvijem æe se isprazniti zemlja, i sasvijem æe se oplijeniti. Jer Gospod reèe ovu rijeè.
The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the LORD has spoken this word.
4 Tužiæe zemlja i opasti, iznemoæi æe vasiljena i opasti; iznemoæi æe glavari naroda zemaljskoga.
The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
5 Jer se zemlja oskvrni pod stanovnicima svojim, jer prestupiše zakone, izmijeniše uredbe, raskidoše zavjet vjeèni.
The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the law, violated the statute, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Zato æe prokletstvo proždrijeti zemlju, i zatræe se stanovnici njezini; zato æe izgorjeti stanovnici zemaljski, i malo æe ljudi ostati.
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
7 Tužiæe vino, uvenuæe loza vinova, uzdisaæe svi koji su vesela srca.
The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 Prestaæe veselje uz bubnje, nestaæe graje onijeh koji se vesele, prestaæe veselje uz gusle.
The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
9 Neæe piti vina uz pjesme, ogrknuæe silovito piæe onima koji ga piju.
They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Razbiæe se pusti grad, zatvorene æe biti sve kuæe da niko ne ulazi.
The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 Tužnjava æe biti po ulicama radi vina, proæi æe svako veselje, otiæi æe radost zemaljska.
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
12 Pustoš æe ostati u gradu, i vrata æe se razvaliti.
The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
13 Jer æe biti u zemlji i u narodima kao kad se oberu masline, i kao kad se paljetkuje poslije berbe.
For it will be so in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Ovi æe podignuti glas svoj i pjevaæe, radi velièanstva Gospodnjega podvikivaæe od mora.
These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.
15 Zato slavite Gospoda u dolinama, na ostrvima morskim ime Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 S kraja zemlje èusmo pjesme u slavu pravednome; ali rekoh: ološah! ološah! teško meni! nevjernici nevjeru èine, baš nevjernici nevjeru èine.
From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous. But I said, "I pine away. I pine away. Woe is me." The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17 Strahota i jama i zamka pred tobom je, stanovnièe zemaljski!
Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth.
18 I ko uteèe èuvši za strahotu, pašæe u jamu; a ko ižljeze iz jame, uhvatiæe se u zamku; jer æe se ustave na visini otvoriti i zatrešæe se temelji zemlji.
It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Sva æe se zemlja razbiti, sva æe se zemlja raspasti, sva æe se zemlja uskolebati.
The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
20 Sva æe se zemlja ljuljati kao pijan èovjek, i premjestiæe se kao koliba, jer æe joj otežati bezakonje njezino, te æe pasti i neæe više ustati.
The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
21 I u to æe vrijeme pohoditi Gospod na visini vojsku visoku i na zemlji sve careve zemaljske.
It shall happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 I skupiæe se kao što se skupljaju sužnji u jamu, i biæe zatvoreni u tamnicu, i poslije mnogo vremena biæe pohoðeni.
And they will be gathered, a gathering in a dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.
23 I posramiæe se mjesec i sunce æe se zastidjeti kad Gospod nad vojskama stane carovati na gori Sionu i u Jerusalimu, i pred starješinama svojim proslavi se.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, for the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his elders will be glory.
