Isaija 32
1 Evo, car æe carovati pravo i knezovi æe vladati po pravdi.
Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
2 I èovjek æe biti kao zaklon od vjetra, i kao utoèište od poplave, kao potoci na suhu mjestu, kao sjen od velike stijene u zemlji sasušenoj.
Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
3 I oèi onijeh koji vide neæe biti zaslijepljene, i uši onijeh koji èuju slušaæe.
When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
4 I srce nerazumnijeh razumjeæe mudrost, i jezik mutavijeh govoriæe brzo i razgovijetno.
[Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
5 Nevaljalac se neæe više zvati knez, niti æe se tvrdica nazivati podašnijem.
[At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
6 Jer nevaljalac o nevaljalstvu govori, i srce njegovo gradi bezakonje, radeæi licemjerno i govoreæi na Boga laž, da isprazni dušu gladnomu i napoj žednomu da uzme.
Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
7 I sprave tvrdièine zle su; smišlja lukavštine da zatre nište rijeèima lažnijem i kad siromah govori pravo.
Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
8 Ali knez smišlja kneževski, i ustaje da radi kneževski.
But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
9 Ustanite, žene mirne, slušajte glas moj; kæeri bezbrižne, èujte rijeèi moje.
You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
10 Za mnogo godina biæete u smetnji, vi bezbrižne; jer neæe biti berbe, i sabiranje neæe doæi.
One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
11 Strašite se, vi mirne; drkæite, vi bezbrižne, svucite se, budite gole, i pripašite oko sebe kostrijet,
[So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
12 Bijuæi se u prsi za lijepijem njivama, za rodnijem èokotima.
Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
13 Trnje i èkalj niknuæe na zemlji naroda mojega, i po svijem kuæama veselijem, u gradu veselom.
because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
14 Jer æe se dvorovi ostaviti, vreve gradske nestaæe; kule i stražare postaæe peæine dovijeka, radost divljim magarcima i paša stadima,
The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
15 Dokle se ne izlije na nas duh s visine i pustinja postane njiva a njiva se stane uzimati za šumu.
[It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
16 Tada æe sud stanovati u pustinji, i pravda æe stajati na njivi.
People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
17 I mir æe biti djelo pravde, što æe pravda uèiniti biæe pokoj i bezbrižnost dovijeka.
And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
18 I moj æe narod sjedjeti u mirnu stanu i u šatorima pouzdanijem, na poèivalištima tihim.
My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
19 Ali æe grad pasti na šumu, i grad æe se vrlo sniziti.
[Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
20 Blago vama koji sijete pokraj svake vode, i puštate volove i magarce.
Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
