< 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 apostate children, says the Lord: you have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:
2 Koji slaze u Misir ne pitajuæi šta æu ja reæi, da se ukrijepe silom Faraonovom i da se zaklone pod sjenom Misirskim.
[even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.
3 Jer æe vam sila Faraonova biti na sramotu, i zaklon pod sjenom Misirskim na porugu.
For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and [there shall be] a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.
4 Jer knezovi njegovi biše u Soanu, i poslanici njegovi doðoše u Hanes.
For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.
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.
In vain shall they labour [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but [shall be] for a 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.
THE VISION OF THE QUADRUPEDS IN THE DESERT. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.
7 Jer æe Misirci uzalud i naprazno pomagati; zato vièem o tom: jaèina im je da sjede s mirom.
The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.
8 Sada idi, napiši ovo pred njima na dašèicu, napiši u knjigu, da ostane za vremena koja æe doæi, dovijeka;
Now then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for ever.
9 Jer su narod nepokoran, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neæe da slušaju zakona Gospodnjega;
For the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:
10 Koji govore vidiocima: nemojte viðati, i prorocima: nemojte nam prorokovati što je pravo, govorite nam mile stvari, prorokujte prijevaru;
who say to the prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us, but speak and report to us another error;
11 Svrnite s puta, otstupite od staze, neka nestane ispred nas sveca Izrailjeva.
and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle 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 thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because you have murmured, and been confident in this respect:
13 Zato æe vam to bezakonje biti kao pukotina u zidu koji hoæe da padne, koja izdigne zid visoko, te se naglo ujedanput obori.
therefore shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.
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.
And the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that you should not find amongst them a sherd, with which you might take up fire, and with which you should draw a little water.
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.
Thus says the Lord, the Holy Lord of Israel; When you shall turn and mourn, then you shall be saved; and you shall know where you were, when you did trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet you would not listen:
16 Nego govorite: ne; nego æemo na konjma pobjeæi. Zato æete bježati. Pojahaæemo brze konje. Zato æe biti brži koji æe vas tjerati.
but you said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
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 shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until you be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon 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.
And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon 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.
For the holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity you: when he perceived the voice of your cry, he listened to 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,
And [though] the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause you to err shall no more at all draw near to you; for your eyes shall see those that cause you to err,
21 I uši æe tvoje slušati rijeè iza tebe gdje govori: to je put, idite njim, ako biste svrnuli nadesno ili nalijevo.
and your ears shall hear the words of them that went after you to lead you astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or to the left.
22 I oprzniæete posrebrene likove svoje rezane i zlatno odijelo likova livenijeh, i baciæete ih kao neèistotu, i reæi æeš im: odlazite.
And you shall pollute the plated idols, and you shall grind to powder the gilt ones, and shall scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and you shall thrust them forth as dung.
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 shall there be rain to the seed of your land; and the bread of the fruit of your land shall be plenteous and rich: and your cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.
24 Volovi i magarci, što rade zemlju, ješæe èistu zob ovijanu lopatom i rešetom.
Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.
25 I na svakoj gori visokoj i na svakom humu visokom biæe izvori i potoci, kad bude pokolj veliki, kad popadaju kule.
And there shall be upon every lofty mountain and upon every high hill, water running in that day, when many shall perish, and when the towers shall 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.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of your wound.
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 after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as 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.
And his breath, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them.
29 Pjevaæete kao noæu uoèi praznika, i veseliæete se od srca kao onaj koji ide sa sviralom na goru Gospodnju, k stijeni Izrailjevoj,
Must you always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must you go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God 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 shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.
31 Jer æe se od glasa Gospodnjega prepasti Asirac, koji je bio palicom.
For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall strike them.
32 I kuda god proðe palica pouzdana, kojom æe Gospod navaliti na nj, biæe bubnji i gusle, i ratovima žestokim ratovaæe na njih.
And it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.
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 you shall be required before [your] time: has it been prepared for you also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for you] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
