Isaija 29
1 Teško Arilu, Arilu, gradu gdje je stajao David. Dodajte godinu na godinu, neka kolju žrtve prazniène.
Alas for the city of Ariel, which David besieged. Gather ye fruits year by year; eat ye, for ye shall eat with Moab.
2 Ali æu pritijesniti Arila, i biæe žalost i tuga, jer æe mi biti kao Aril.
For I will grievously afflict Ariel: and her strength and her wealth shall be mine.
3 Jer æu te opkoliti vojskom, i stegnuæu te opkopima i podignuæu suprot tebi kule.
And I will compass thee about like David, and will raise a mound about thee, and set up towers round thee.
4 Te æeš oboren govoriti sa zemlje i iz praha æeš mucati, i glas æe ti biti sa zemlje kao u bajaèa i iz praha æeš šapæuæi govoriti.
And thy words shall be brought down to the earth, and thy words shall sink down to the earth, and thy voice shall be as they that speak out of the earth, and thy voice shall be lowered to the ground.
5 A mnoštvo neprijatelja tvojih biæe kao sitan prah i mnoštvo nasilnika kao pljeva kad se razmeæe; i to æe biti zaèas, iznenada.
But the wealth of the ungodly shall be as dust from a wheel, and the multitude of them that oppress thee as flying chaff, and it shall be suddenly as a moment,
6 Gospod nad vojskama pohodiæe ga gromom i trusom i hukom velikom, vihorom i burom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire.
from the Lord of Hosts: for there shall be a visitation with thunder, and earthquake, and a loud noise, a rushing tempest, and devouring flame of fire.
7 I mnoštvo svijeh naroda koji vojuju na Aril i svi koji udaraju na nj i na zidove njegove i koji ga pritješnjuju, biæe kao utvara noæna u snu.
And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.
8 Biæe kao kad gladan sni da jede, pa kad se probudi a duša mu prazna; ili kad sni žedan da pije, pa kad se probudi, a on iznemogao i duša mu žedna; tako æe biti mnoštvo svijeh naroda što vojuju na goru Sionsku.
And as men drink and eat in sleep, and when they have arisen, the dream is vain: and as a thirsty man dreams as if he drank, and having arisen is still thirsty, and his soul has desired in vain: so shall be the wealth of all the nations, as many as have fought against the mount Sion.
9 Stanite i èudite se; vapijte i vièite: pijani su, ali ne od vina; posræu, ali ne od silovita piæa.
Faint ye, and be amazed, and be overpowered, not with strong drink nor with wine.
10 Jer je Gospod izlio na vas duh tvrdoga sna i zatvorio vam oèi, oslijepio proroke i vidioce, glavare vaše.
For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and he shall close their eyes, and [the eyes] of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.
11 I svaka utvara biæe vam kao rijeèi u zapeèaæenoj knjizi, koju dadu èovjeku koji zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne mogu, jer je zapeèaæeno.
And all these things shall be to you as the words of this sealed book, which if they shall give to a learned man, saying, Read this, he shall then say, I cannot read [it], for it is sealed.
12 Ili da dadu knjigu onom koji ne zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne znam èitati.
And this book shall be given into the hands of a man that is unlearned, and [one] shall say to him, Read this; and he shall say, I am not learned.
13 Zato reèe Gospod: što se ovaj narod približuje ustima svojima i usnama svojim poštuje me, a srce im daleko stoji od mene, i strah kojim me se boje zapovijest je ljudska kojoj su nauèeni,
And the Lord has said, This people draw nigh to me with their mouth, and they honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me: but in vain do they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
14 Zato æu evo još raditi èudesno s tijem narodom, èudesno i divno, i mudrost mudrijeh njegovijeh poginuæe i razuma razumnijeh nestaæe.
Therefore behold I will proceed to remove this people, and I will remove them: and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will hide the understanding of the prudent.
15 Teško onima koji duboko sakrivaju od Gospoda namjeru, koji rade u mraku i govore: ko nas vidi? i ko nas zna?
Woe to them that deepen their counsel, and not by the Lord. Woe to them that take secret counsel, and whose works are in darkness, and they say, Who has seen us? and who shall know us, or what we do?
16 Naopake misli vaše nijesu li kao kao lonèarski? Govori li djelo za onoga koji ga je naèinio: nije me naèinio? i lonac govori li za onoga koji ga je naèinio: ne razumije?
Shall ye not be counted as clay of the potter? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Thou didst not form me? or the work to the maker, Thou hast not made me wisely?
17 Neæe li se doskora i Livan pretvoriti u polje, i polje se uzimati za šumu?
[Is it] not yet a little while, and Libanus shall be changed as the mountains of Chermel, and Chermel shall be reckoned as a forest?
18 I u taj æe dan gluhi èuti rijeèi u knjizi, i iz tame i mraka vidjeæe oèi slijepijeh.
And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist: the eyes of the blind shall see,
19 I krotki æe se veoma radovati u Gospodu, i ništi izmeðu ljudi veseliæe se sa sveca Izrailjeva.
and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope among men shall be filled with joy.
20 Jer nasilnika neæe biti, i nestaæe potsmjevaèa, i istrijebiæe se svi koji gledaju da èine bezakonje,
The lawless man has come to nought, and the proud man has perished, and they that transgress mischievously have been utterly destroyed:
21 Koji okrivljuju èovjeka za rijeè, i meæu zamku onome koji kara na vratima, i obaraju pravednoga lažju.
and they that cause men to sin by a word: and men shall make all that reprove in the gates an offence, because they have unjustly turned aside the righteous.
22 Zato Gospod, koji je otkupio Avrama, ovako govori za dom Jakovljev: neæe se više Jakov postidjeti, niti æe mu lice poblijedjeti.
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the house of Jacob, whom he set apart from Abraam, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall he now change countenance.
23 Jer kad vidi usred sebe djecu svoju, djelo ruku mojih, tada æe oni svetiti ime moje, svetiæe sveca Jakovljeva i bojaæe se Boga Izrailjeva.
But when their children shall have seen my works, they shall sanctify my name for my sake, and they sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 I koji lutaju duhom orazumiæe se, i vikaèi æe primiti nauku.
And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.
