Isaija 26
1 Tada æe se pjevati ova pjesma u zemlji Judinoj: imamo tvrd grad; zidovi su i opkop spasenje.
In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah, —A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart,
2 Otvorite vrata da uðe narod pravedni, koji drži vjeru.
Open ye the gates, —That there may enter in—a righteous nation preserving fidelity.
3 Ko se tebe drži, èuvaš ga jednako u miru, jer se u tebe uzda.
A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because in thee, hath he been led to trust.
4 Uzdajte se u Gospoda dovijeka, jer je Gospod Gospod vjeèna stijena.
Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity, —For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.
5 Jer ponižuje one koji nastavaju na visini, grad visoki obara, obara ga na zemlju, obraæa ga u prah.
For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, —He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:
6 Te ga gazi noga, noge ubogih, stopala nevoljnijeh.
The foot trampleth it, —The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,
7 Put je pravedniku prav, ti ravniš stazu pravednome.
The path of a righteous man, is, even, —O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.
8 I na putu sudova tvojih, Gospode, èekamo te; tvoje ime i tvoj spomen žudi duša.
Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, —Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:
9 Dušom svojom žudim tebe noæu, i duhom svojim što je u meni tražim te jutrom; jer kad su sudovi tvoji na zemlji, uèe se pravdi koji žive u vasiljenoj.
With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, —For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.
10 Ako se i pomiluje bezbožnik, ne uèi se pravdi, u zemlji najpravednijoj èini bezakonje i ne gleda na velièanstvo Gospodnje.
Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, —And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.
11 Gospode! ruka je tvoja visoko podignuta, a oni ne vide; vidjeæe i posramiæe se od revnosti za narod, i oganj æe proždrijeti neprijatelje tvoje.
O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, —yet do they not see, Would they might see—and turn pale at a people’s zeal, —Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!
12 Gospode! nama æeš dati mir, jer sva djela naša ti si nam uèinio.
O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, —For even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,
13 Gospode Bože naš, gospodariše nad nama gospodari drugi osim tebe, ali samo tobom pominjemo ime tvoje.
O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, —By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.
14 Pomriješe, neæe oživjeti, mrtvi buduæi neæe ustati, jer si ih ti pohodio i istrijebio, zatro svaki spomen njihov.
The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise, —Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.
15 Gospode, umnožio si narod, umnožio si narod i proslavio si se, ali si ih zagnao na sve krajeve zemaljske.
Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.
16 Gospode, u nevolji tražiše te, izlivaše pokornu molitvu kad si ih karao.
O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, —They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Kao trudna žena kad hoæe da se porodi pa se muèi i vièe od bola, taki bijasmo mi pred tobom, Gospode!
Like as a woman with child—Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; —
18 Zatrudnjesmo, muèismo se da rodimo, i kao da rodismo vjetar, nikako ne pomogosmo zemlji, niti padoše koji žive u vasiljenoj.
We were with child—We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, —Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were born the inhabitants of the world.
19 Oživjeæe mrtvi tvoji, i moje æe mrtvo tijelo ustati. Probudite se, i pjevajte koji stanujete u prahu; jer je tvoja rosa rosa na travi, i zemlja æe izmetnuti mrtvace.
Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, —Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.
20 Hajde narode moj, uði u klijeti svoje, i zakljuèaj vrata svoja za sobom, prikrij se za èas, dokle proðe gnjev.
Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, —Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.
21 Jer, gle, Gospod izlazi iz mjesta svojega da pohodi stanovnike zemaljske za bezakonje njihovo, i zemlja æe otkriti krvi svoje niti æe više pokrivati pobijenijeh svojih.
For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him, —Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.
