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 you who destroy, but you were not destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2 Gospode, smiluj se na nas, tebe èekamo; budi im mišica svako jutro, i spasenje naše u nevolji.
Adonai, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our yishu'ah ·salvation· also in the time of trouble.
3 Narodi pobjegoše od jake vike, rasijaše se narodi što se ti podiže.
At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4 I pokupiæe se plijen vaš kao što se kupe gusjenice, skoèiæe na nj kao što skaèu skakavci.
Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 Uzvišen je Gospod, jer nastava na visini; napuniæe Sion suda i pravde.
Adonai is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] with mishpat ·justice· and righteousness.
6 I tvrða vremena tvojega, sila spasenja tvojega biæe mudrost i znanje; strah Gospodnji biæe blago tvoje.
There will be stability in your times, abundance of yishu'ah ·salvation·, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Adonai is your treasure.
7 Eto, junaci njihovi vièu na polju, i poslanici mirni plaèu gorko:
Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Putovi opustješe, putnici ne putuju; pokvari ugovor, odbaci gradove, ne mari za èovjeka.
The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He does not respect man.
9 Zemlja tuži i èezne, Livan se stidi i vene, Saron je kao pustinja, Vasan i Karmil ogolješe.
The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 Sada æu ustati, veli Gospod, sada æu se uzvisiti, sada æu se podignuti.
“Now I will arise,” says Adonai; “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 Zatrudnjeæete slamom, rodiæete strnjiku; gnjev vaš proždrijeæe vas kao oganj.
You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12 I narodi æe biti kao peæi kreène, izgorjeæe ognjem kao trnje posjeèeno.
The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13 Slušajte koji ste daleko što sam uèinio, i koji ste blizu poznajte moæ moju.
Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge 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?
The people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal· in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
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 who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from sh'ma ·hearing obeying· plots of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at 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 will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17 Oèi æe ti vidjeti cara u krasoti njegovoj, gledaæe zemlju daleku.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18 Srce æe tvoje misliti o strahu govoreæi: gdje je pisar? gdje brojaè? gdje je onaj što pregleda kule?
Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who 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.
You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t sh'ma ·hear understand obey·, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
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 at Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem [City of peace], a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
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 Adonai will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22 Jer je Gospod naš sudija, Gospod je koji nam postavlja zakone, Gospod je car naš, on æe nas spasti.
For Adonai is our judge. Adonai is our Torah-giver. Adonai 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.
Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 I niko od stanovnika neæe reæi: bolestan sam. Narodu koji živi u njemu oprostiæe se bezakonje.
The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their depravity (moral evil).
