Isaija 30
1 Teško sinovima odmetnicima, govori Gospod, koji sastavljaju namjere koje nijesu od mene, zaklanjaju se za zaklon koji nije od moga duha, da domeæu grijeh na grijeh;
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
2 Koji slaze u Misir ne pitajuæi šta æu ja reæi, da se ukrijepe silom Faraonovom i da se zaklone pod sjenom Misirskim.
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
3 Jer æe vam sila Faraonova biti na sramotu, i zaklon pod sjenom Misirskim na porugu.
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
4 Jer knezovi njegovi biše u Soanu, i poslanici njegovi doðoše u Hanes.
For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 Ali æe se svi posramiti s naroda, koji im neæe pomoæi, niti æe im biti na korist ni na dobit, nego na sramotu i na porugu.
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
6 Tovar æe biti na stoci južnoj: u zemlju gdje je nevolja i muka, gdje su lavovi i laviæi, guje i zmajevi ognjeni krilati, odnijeæe blago svoje magarcima na ramenima i bogatstvo svoje kamilama na grbama, k narodu koji neæe pomoæi.
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
7 Jer æe Misirci uzalud i naprazno pomagati; zato vièem o tom: jaèina im je da sjede s mirom.
Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
8 Sada idi, napiši ovo pred njima na dašèicu, napiši u knjigu, da ostane za vremena koja æe doæi, dovijeka;
Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
9 Jer su narod nepokoran, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neæe da slušaju zakona Gospodnjega;
These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
10 Koji govore vidiocima: nemojte viðati, i prorocima: nemojte nam prorokovati što je pravo, govorite nam mile stvari, prorokujte prijevaru;
They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
11 Svrnite s puta, otstupite od staze, neka nestane ispred nas sveca Izrailjeva.
Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
12 Zato ovako veli svetac Izrailjev: kad odbacujete ovu rijeè, i uzdate se u prijevaru i opaèinu i na nju se oslanjate,
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
13 Zato æe vam to bezakonje biti kao pukotina u zidu koji hoæe da padne, koja izdigne zid visoko, te se naglo ujedanput obori.
this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
14 I razbiæe ga kao što se razbija razbijen sud lonèarski, ne žali se, te se ne naðe ni crijepa kad se razbije da uzmeš oganj s ognjišta ili da zahvatiš vode iz jame.
It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
15 Jer ovako govori Gospod Gospod, svetac Izrailjev: ako se povratite i budete mirni, izbaviæete se, u miru i uzdanju biæe sila vaša; ali vi neæete.
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
16 Nego govorite: ne; nego æemo na konjma pobjeæi. Zato æete bježati. Pojahaæemo brze konje. Zato æe biti brži koji æe vas tjerati.
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
17 Bježaæe vas tisuæa kad jedan povièe; kad povièu petorica, bježaæete svi, dokle ne ostanete kao okresano drvo navrh gore i kao zastava na humu.
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
18 A zato èeka Gospod da se smiluje na vas, i zato æe se uzvisiti da vas pomiluje; jer je Gospod pravedan Bog; blago svjema koji ga èekaju.
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19 Jer æe narod nastavati u Sionu, u Jerusalimu; neæeš više plakati, doista æe te pomilovati kad povièeš; èim te èuje, odazvaæe ti se.
O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
20 Premda æe vam Gospod dati hljeba tužnoga i vode nevoljnièke; ali ti se više neæe uzimati uèitelji tvoji, nego æe oèi tvoje gledati uèitelje tvoje,
The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
21 I uši æe tvoje slušati rijeè iza tebe gdje govori: to je put, idite njim, ako biste svrnuli nadesno ili nalijevo.
And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 I oprzniæete posrebrene likove svoje rezane i zlatno odijelo likova livenijeh, i baciæete ih kao neèistotu, i reæi æeš im: odlazite.
So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
23 I daæe dažd sjemenu tvojemu koje posiješ na njivi, i hljeb od roda zemaljskoga biæe obilat i sit; tada æe stoka tvoja pasti na paši prostranoj.
Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
24 Volovi i magarci, što rade zemlju, ješæe èistu zob ovijanu lopatom i rešetom.
The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
25 I na svakoj gori visokoj i na svakom humu visokom biæe izvori i potoci, kad bude pokolj veliki, kad popadaju kule.
And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 I svjetlost æe mjeseèna biti kao svjetlost sunèana, a svjetlost æe sunèana biti sedam puta veæa, kao svjetlost od sedam dana, kad Gospod zavije ulom narodu svojemu i iscijeli rane koje mu je zadao.
The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
27 Gle, ime Gospodnje ide izdaleka, gnjev njegov gori i vrlo je težak; usne su mu pune ljutine i jezik mu je kao oganj koji sažiže.
Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
28 A duh mu je kao potok koji plavi i dopire do grla, da rasije narode da otidu u ništa, i biæe u èeljustima narodima uzda koja æe ih goniti da lutaju.
His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
29 Pjevaæete kao noæu uoèi praznika, i veseliæete se od srca kao onaj koji ide sa sviralom na goru Gospodnju, k stijeni Izrailjevoj,
You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30 I Gospod æe pustiti da se èuje slava glasa njegova, i pokazaæe kako maše rukom svojom s ljutijem gnjevom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire, s raspom i sa silnijem daždem i s gradom.
And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
31 Jer æe se od glasa Gospodnjega prepasti Asirac, koji je bio palicom.
For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
32 I kuda god proðe palica pouzdana, kojom æe Gospod navaliti na nj, biæe bubnji i gusle, i ratovima žestokim ratovaæe na njih.
And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
33 Jer je veæ pripravljen Tofet, i samom caru pripravljen je, naèinio je dubok i širok; mjesta, ognja i drva ima mnogo; dah Gospodnji kao potok sumporni upaliæe ga.
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
