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, destroyer who has not been destroyed! Woe to the betrayer whom they have not betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they will betray you.
2 Gospode, smiluj se na nas, tebe èekamo; budi im mišica svako jutro, i spasenje naše u nevolji.
Yahweh, be gracious to us; we wait for you; be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 Narodi pobjegoše od jake vike, rasijaše se narodi što se ti podiže.
At the loud noise the peoples flee; when you arise, the nations are scattered.
4 I pokupiæe se plijen vaš kao što se kupe gusjenice, skoèiæe na nj kao što skaèu skakavci.
Your spoil is gathered as the locusts gather; as locusts leap, men leap on it.
5 Uzvišen je Gospod, jer nastava na visini; napuniæe Sion suda i pravde.
Yahweh is exalted. He lives in a high place. He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 I tvrða vremena tvojega, sila spasenja tvojega biæe mudrost i znanje; strah Gospodnji biæe blago tvoje.
He will be the stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of Yahweh is his treasure.
7 Eto, junaci njihovi vièu na polju, i poslanici mirni plaèu gorko:
Look, their envoys cry in the streets; the diplomats hoping for peace weep bitterly.
8 Putovi opustješe, putnici ne putuju; pokvari ugovor, odbaci gradove, ne mari za èovjeka.
The highways are deserted; there are no more travelers. Covenants are broken, witnesses are despised, and mankind is not respected.
9 Zemlja tuži i èezne, Livan se stidi i vene, Saron je kao pustinja, Vasan i Karmil ogolješe.
The land mourns and withers away; Lebanon is ashamed and withers away; Sharon is like a desert plain; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 Sada æu ustati, veli Gospod, sada æu se uzvisiti, sada æu se podignuti.
“Now will I arise,” says Yahweh; “now I will be lifted up; now I will be elevated.
11 Zatrudnjeæete slamom, rodiæete strnjiku; gnjev vaš proždrijeæe vas kao oganj.
You conceive chaff, and you give birth to stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 I narodi æe biti kao peæi kreène, izgorjeæe ognjem kao trnje posjeèeno.
The peoples will be burned to lime, as thornbushes are cut down and are burned.
13 Slušajte koji ste daleko što sam uèinio, i koji ste blizu poznajte moæ moju.
You who are far away, hear 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 sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can sojourn with a raging fire? Who among us can sojourn 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 who walks righteously and speaks honestly; who despises the gain of oppression, who shakes his hand so that it will not accept a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed, and who shuts his eyes from 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.
this is the man who will dwell on the heights, his place of defense will be the fortress among the cliffs, his food will be given, and his water will be in steady supply.
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 land off in the distance.
18 Srce æe tvoje misliti o strahu govoreæi: gdje je pisar? gdje brojaè? gdje je onaj što pregleda kule?
Your heart will recall the terror; where is the scribe, where is he who weighed the money? 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 defiant people, a people of a strange language that you do not 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, the city of our feasts; your eyes will see Jerusalem as a quiet habitation, a tent that will not be removed, whose stakes will never be pulled 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.
Instead, Yahweh in majesty will be with us, in a place of broad rivers and streams. No warship with oars will travel it, and no large ships will sail by.
22 Jer je Gospod naš sudija, Gospod je koji nam postavlja zakone, Gospod je car naš, on æe nas spasti.
For Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh is our lawgiver, Yahweh 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 riggings are slack; they cannot hold the mast in place; they cannot spread the sail; when the great spoil is divided, even the lame will drag off the spoil.
24 I niko od stanovnika neæe reæi: bolestan sam. Narodu koji živi u njemu oprostiæe se bezakonje.
The inhabitants will not say, “I am sick;” the people who live there will be forgiven for their iniquity.
