< Isaija 33 >

1 Teško tebi, koji pustošiš a tebe ne pustoše, i koji èiniš nevjeru a tebi se ne èini nevjera; kad prestaneš pustošiti, biæeš opustošen, kad prestaneš èiniti nevjeru, èiniæe ti se nevjera.
Woe to thee that wastest, while thou wast not wasted; and traitor, while men dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt have made an end of wasting, thou shalt be wasted, and when thou shalt have finished to deal treacherously, men shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Gospode, smiluj se na nas, tebe èekamo; budi im mišica svako jutro, i spasenje naše u nevolji.
O Lord, be gracious; we have waited for thee: be thou their support every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 Narodi pobjegoše od jake vike, rasijaše se narodi što se ti podiže.
At the noise of [thy] thunder people fled; when thou liftedst thyself up nations were scattered.
4 I pokupiæe se plijen vaš kao što se kupe gusjenice, skoèiæe na nj kao što skaèu skakavci.
And your spoil shall be gathered as the cricket gathereth: as locusts run about, so shall people hasten after it.
5 Uzvišen je Gospod, jer nastava na visini; napuniæe Sion suda i pravde.
The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 I tvrða vremena tvojega, sila spasenja tvojega biæe mudrost i znanje; strah Gospodnji biæe blago tvoje.
And the stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Eto, junaci njihovi vièu na polju, i poslanici mirni plaèu gorko:
Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Putovi opustješe, putnici ne putuju; pokvari ugovor, odbaci gradove, ne mari za èovjeka.
The highways lie waste, ceased hath the wayfaring traveler: he hath broken the covenant, he despiseth cities, he regardeth not man.
9 Zemlja tuži i èezne, Livan se stidi i vene, Saron je kao pustinja, Vasan i Karmil ogolješe.
It mourneth, it languisheth—the land: Lebanon is ashamed, it is withered away; Sharon is become like a wilderness; and bereft of their fruits are Bashan and Carmel.
10 Sada æu ustati, veli Gospod, sada æu se uzvisiti, sada æu se podignuti.
Now will I arise, saith the Lord; now will I raise myself; now will I lift myself up.
11 Zatrudnjeæete slamom, rodiæete strnjiku; gnjev vaš proždrijeæe vas kao oganj.
Ye shall be pregnant with hay, [and] ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire, which shall devour you.
12 I narodi æe biti kao peæi kreène, izgorjeæe ognjem kao trnje posjeèeno.
And the people shall be burnt as lime: as cut-off thorns shall they blaze up in fire.
13 Slušajte koji ste daleko što sam uèinio, i koji ste blizu poznajte moæ moju.
Hear, ye distant ones, what I have done; and acknowledge ye that are near my might.
14 Grješnici u Sionu uplašiæe se, drhat æe spopasti licemjere, i reæi æe: ko æe nas ostati kod ognja koji proždire? ko æe nas ostati kod vjeène žege?
In Zion sinners are in dread; trembling hath seized on hypocrites. “Who among us shall abide with the devouring fire? who among us shall abide with everlasting burnings?”
15 Ko hodi u pravdi i govori što je pravo; ko mrzi na dobitak od nasilja; ko otresa ruke svoje da ne primi poklona; ko zatiskuje uši svoje da ne èuje za krv, i zažima oèi svoje da ne vidi zla;
He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands against taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears against hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes against looking on evil;
16 On æe nastavati na visokim mjestima; gradovi na stijenama biæe mu utoèište, hljeb æe mu se davati, vode mu se neæe premicati.
He shall dwell on high; rocky strongholds shall be his refuge: his bread shall be given him; his water shall be sure.
17 Oèi æe ti vidjeti cara u krasoti njegovoj, gledaæe zemlju daleku.
The king in his beauty shall thy eyes behold: they shall see a far-off land.
18 Srce æe tvoje misliti o strahu govoreæi: gdje je pisar? gdje brojaè? gdje je onaj što pregleda kule?
Thy heart shall meditate [on past] terror. “Where is who wrote down? where is he that weighed? where is he that counted the towers?”
19 Neæeš vidjeti žestoka naroda, naroda koji govori iz dubina da se ne razbira, u koga je jezik mutav da se ne razumije.
The barbarous people shalt thou not see any more, the people of a speech too obscure to be understood, of a stammering tongue, without meaning.
20 Pogledaj na Sion, grad praznika naših; oèi tvoje neka vide Jerusalim, mirni stan, šator, koji se neæe odnijeti, kojemu se kolje neæe nigda pomjeriti, i nijedno mu se uže neæe otkinuti.
Look on Zion, the town of our solemn assemblies; thy eyes shall see Jerusalem as an undisturbed residence, a tent that shall not be struck for removal; not one of the stakes of which shall ever be moved, and all the cords of which shall never be torn loose.
21 Nego æe nam ondje Gospod veliki biti mjesto rijeka i potoka širokih, po kojima neæe iæi laða s veslima, niti æe velika laða prolaziti onuda.
But there will the Lord [show himself] mighty unto us, [in] a place of rivers and streams of ample breadth; wherein no oared galley shall go, and a gallant ship shall not pass thereby.
22 Jer je Gospod naš sudija, Gospod je koji nam postavlja zakone, Gospod je car naš, on æe nas spasti.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.
23 Oslabiše tvoja uža, ne mogu tvrdo držati katarke svoje ni razapeti jedra; tada æe se razdijeliti velik plijen, hromi æe razgrabiti plijen.
Loose hang thy tacklings; they cannot well uphold strongly their mast, they cannot spread the sail. Then are divided booty and spoil in abundance, [even] the lame take the booty.
24 I niko od stanovnika neæe reæi: bolestan sam. Narodu koji živi u njemu oprostiæe se bezakonje.
And no inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be one whose iniquity is forgiven.
