Isaija 27
1 Tada æe Gospod pokarati maèem svojim ljutijem i velikim i jakim levijatana, prugu zmiju, i levijatana, krivuljastu zmiju, i ubiæe zmaja koji je u moru.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 Tada pjevajte o vinogradu koji raða crvenijem vinom:
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 Ja Gospod èuvam ga, u svako doba zaljevaæu ga; dan noæ èuvaæu ga da ga ko ne ošteti.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Nema gnjeva u mene; ko æe staviti u boj nasuprot meni èkalj i trnje? ja æu pogaziti i spaliti sve.
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Ili neka se uhvati za silu moju da uèini mir sa mnom; uèiniæe mir sa mnom.
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Jednom æe se ukorijeniti Jakov, procvjetaæe i uzrasti Izrailj, i napuniæe vasiljenu plodom.
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Je li ga udario onako kako je udario one koji njega udaraše? je li ga ubio onako kako su ubijeni oni koje je ubio?
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 S mjerom ga je karao, kad ga je odbacio, kad ga je odnio silnijem vjetrom svojim istoènijem.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Zato æe se tijem oèistiti bezakonje Jakovljevo i to æe biti sva korist što æe se uzeti grijeh njegov kad sve kamenje oltarno razmetne kao razdrobljeno kreèno kamenje i ne bude više gajeva ni sunèanijeh likova,
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Jer æe tvrdi grad opustjeti i biæe stan ostavljen i zanemaren kao pustinja; ondje æe pasti tele i ondje æe lijegati, i poješæe mu grane.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Kad se posuše grane, polomiæe se; žene æe dolaziti i ložiti ih na oganj. Jer je narod nerazuman; zato ga neæe žaliti koji ga je stvorio, i koji ga je sazdao neæe se smilovati na nj.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 U to æe vrijeme Gospod ovijati od obale rijeke do potoka Misirskoga, a vi, sinovi Izrailjevi, sabraæete se jedan po jedan.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 I tada æe se zatrubiti u veliku trubu, i koji se bjehu izgubili u zemlji Asirskoj i koji bijahu zagnani u zemlju Misirsku, doæi æe i klanjaæe se Gospodu na svetoj gori u Jerusalimu.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
