Isaija 3
1 Jer gle, Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama uzeæe Jerusalimu i Judi potporu i pomoæ, svaku potporu u hljebu i svaku potporu u vodi,
For, behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
2 Junaka i vojnika, sudiju i proroka, i mudarca i starca,
The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 Pedesetnika i ugledna èovjeka, i savjetnika i vješta umjetnika i èovjeka rjeèita.
The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 I daæu im knezove mladiæe, i djeca æe im biti gospodari.
And I will set up boys as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5 I èiniæe silu u narodu jedan drugome i svaki bližnjemu svojemu; dijete æe ustajati na starca i nepošten èovjek na poštena.
And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
6 I èovjek æe uhvatiti brata svojega iz kuæe oca svojega govoreæi: imaš haljinu, budi nam knez, ovaj rasap neka je pod tvojom rukom.
When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, [saying, ] Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 A on æe se zakleti u onaj dan govoreæi: neæu biti ljekar, niti imam kod kuæe hljeba ni haljine, ne postavljajte me knezom narodu.
He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler of the people.
8 Jer se obori Jerusalim i Juda pade, jer se jezik njihov i djela njihova protive Gospodu da draže oèi slave njegove.
For Jerusalem is sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.
9 Što se vidi na licu njihovu svjedoèi na njih, razglašuju grijeh svoj kao Sodom, ne taje; teško duši njihovoj! jer sami sebi èine zlo.
The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.
10 Recite pravedniku da æe mu dobro biti, jer æe jesti plod od djela svojih.
Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.
11 Teško bezbožniku! zlo æe mu biti, jer æe mu se naplatiti ruke njegove.
Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.
12 Narodu mojemu èine silu djeca, i žene su im gospodari. Narode moj! koji te vode, zavode te, i kvare put hoda tvojega.
My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.
13 Ustaje Gospod na parbu, stoji da sudi narodima.
The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up to judge the people.
14 Gospod æe doæi na sud sa starješinama naroda svojega i s knezovima njegovijem, jer vi potrste vinograd, grabež od siromaha u vašim je kuæama.
The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and their princes; but ye—ye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 Zašto gazite narod moj i lice siromasima satirete? govori Gospod, Gospod nad vojskama.
What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
16 Još govori Gospod: što se poniješe kæeri Sionske i idu opružena vrata i namigujuæi oèima, sitno koraèaju i zvekeæu nogama,
And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Zato æe Gospod uèiniti da oæelavi tjeme kæerima Sionskim, i otkriæe Gospod golotinju njihovu.
Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.
18 Tada æe Gospod skinuti nakit s obuæe i vezove i mjeseèiæe,
On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoe-buckles, and the hair-nets, and the crescent-shaped ornaments,
19 Nizove i lanèiæe i trepetljike,
The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 Ukosnike i podveze i pojase i stakalca mirisna i oboce,
The bonnets, and the foot-chains, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 Prstene i poèeonike,
The finger-rings, and nose-jewels,
22 Sveèane haljine i ogrtaèe i prijevjese i toboce,
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.
23 I ogledala i košuljice i oglavlja i pokrivala.
The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.
24 I mjesto mirisa biæe smrad, i mjesto pojasa raspojasina, mjesto pletenica æela, mjesto širokih skuta pripasana vreæa, i mjesto ljepote ogorjelina.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.
25 Tvoji æe ljudi pasti od maèa i junaci tvoji u ratu.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.
26 I tužiæe i plakaæe vrata njegova, a on æe pust ležati na zemlji.
And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.
