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;
Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation but not from my spirit, —That they may add sin to sin:
2 Koji slaze u Misir ne pitajuæi šta æu ja reæi, da se ukrijepe silom Faraonovom i da se zaklone pod sjenom Misirskim.
Who are setting out to go down to Egypt, But at my mouth, have not asked, —Betaking them to the protection of Pharaoh And seeking refuge under the shadow of Egypt.
3 Jer æe vam sila Faraonova biti na sramotu, i zaklon pod sjenom Misirskim na porugu.
Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh become to you a shame, And, the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, an insult;
4 Jer knezovi njegovi biše u Soanu, i poslanici njegovi doðoše u Hanes.
For their princes have been, in Zoan, —And, their messengers unto Hanes, would draw near.
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.
Every one, hath felt ashamed of a people that could not serve them, —Neither with help, nor with service, But they are a shame, yea even a 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 Oracle on the Beasts of the South, —Through a land of distress and oppression—Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses their wealth And on the humps of camels their treasures Unto a people that cannot serve them.
7 Jer æe Misirci uzalud i naprazno pomagati; zato vièem o tom: jaèina im je da sjede s mirom.
But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help, —Therefore have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent, they sit still!
8 Sada idi, napiši ovo pred njima na dašèicu, napiši u knjigu, da ostane za vremena koja æe doæi, dovijeka;
Now, enter—Write it upon a tablet before them And upon a scroll, inscribe it, —That it may serve for a later day, For futurity, unto times age-abiding: —
9 Jer su narod nepokoran, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neæe da slušaju zakona Gospodnjega;
That it is, a rebellious people, Sons apt at deceiving, —Sons unwilling to hear the law of Yahweh:
10 Koji govore vidiocima: nemojte viðati, i prorocima: nemojte nam prorokovati što je pravo, govorite nam mile stvari, prorokujte prijevaru;
Who have said to the seers, Ye must not see! To the prophets, Ye must not prophesy to us reproofs! Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy delusions:
11 Svrnite s puta, otstupite od staze, neka nestane ispred nas sveca Izrailjeva.
Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path, —Desist from setting before us 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—Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word, —And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,
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 iniquity become to you As a breach ready to fall, A bulging in a high wall, —Whose breaking down cometh, suddenly in a twinkling.
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.
Yea he will break it—as the breaking of the pitcher of a potter, crushed, he will not spare; So that there shall not be found when it is smashed, A sherd wherewith to snatch fire from a hearth, Or to skim off water out of 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 thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel—By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, —Howbeit ye would not!
16 Nego govorite: ne; nego æemo na konjma pobjeæi. Zato æete bježati. Pojahaæemo brze konje. Zato æe biti brži koji æe vas tjerati.
But ye said, —Nay! but on horses, will we flee For this cause, shall ye indeed flee, —And on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:
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.
One thousand, before the war-cry of one—before the war-cry of five, shall ye flee, —Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as 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, therefore, will Yahweh wait, That he may grant you favour, And, therefore, will he lift himself up, That he may show you compassion, —For A God of justice, is, Yahweh, How happy all they who are waiting 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.
For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem, —As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry, —As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!
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,
Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.
21 I uši æe tvoje slušati rijeè iza tebe gdje govori: to je put, idite njim, ako biste svrnuli nadesno ili nalijevo.
So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying, —This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn 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.
Then will ye defile—The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image, of gold, —Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,
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 will he give—Rain for thy seed—wherewith thou shalt sow thy ground and Bread as the increase of thy ground, which shall be fertile and fat, —Thy cattle, in that day, shall feed in broad pasture:
24 Volovi i magarci, što rade zemlju, ješæe èistu zob ovijanu lopatom i rešetom.
And the oxen and the young asses that till the ground, salted provender, shall eat, which hath been winnowed with shovel or fan.
25 I na svakoj gori visokoj i na svakom humu visokom biæe izvori i potoci, kad bude pokolj veliki, kad popadaju kule.
Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain and On every lifted hill, Channels, Conduits of water, —In the great day of 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.
Then shall the light of the moon, be as the light of the sun, And, the light of the sun, shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, —In the day—When Yahweh, bindeth up, the laceration of his people, and When the severe wound caused by smiting them, he healeth.
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.
Lo! the Name of Yahweh, coming in from afar, His anger kindling, A heavy storm, —His lips, are full of indignation, And, his tongue, is like a fire that devoureth;
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 like an overflowing torrent, even unto the neck, doth reach, To sift nations with a sieve of calamity, —A bridle leading to ruin, being upon the jaws of the peoples.
29 Pjevaæete kao noæu uoèi praznika, i veseliæete se od srca kao onaj koji ide sa sviralom na goru Gospodnju, k stijeni Izrailjevoj,
A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival, —And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter Into the mountain of Yahweh Unto 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.
Then will Yahweh cause to be heard—the resounding of his voice And the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire, —A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!
31 Jer æe se od glasa Gospodnjega prepasti Asirac, koji je bio palicom.
For at the voice of Yahweh, shall Assyria be crushed, —With his rod, will he smite.
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 come to pass, —that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, —when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.
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 there hath been set in order, beforehand a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared He hath made it deep—made it large, —The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, the breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.
