Isaija 47
1 Siði i sjedi u prah, djevojko, kæeri Vavilonska; sjedi na zemlju, nema prijestola, kæeri Haldejska; jer se neæeš više zvati nježna i ljupka.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Uzmi žrvnje, i melji brašno, otkrij kosu svoju, izuj se, zagali golijeni, idi preko rijeka.
Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Otkriæe se golotinja tvoja, i vidjeæe se sramota tvoja; osvetiæu se, i niko mi neæe smetati.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
4 Ime je izbavitelju našemu Gospod nad vojskama, svetac Izrailjev.
[As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sjedi muèeæi, i uði u tamu, kæeri Haldejska; jer se neæeš više zvati gospoða carstvima.
Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 Razgnjevih se na narod svoj, oskvrnih našljedstvo svoje i predadoh ga tebi u ruke; a ti im ne pokaza milosti; na starce si metala preteški jaram svoj;
I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 I govorila si: dovijeka æu biti gospoða; ali nikad nijesi to uzimala na um, niti si pomišljala šta æe biti na pošljedak.
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8 Sada dakle èuj ovo, koja živiš u slastima i bez brige sjediš i govoriš u srcu svom: ja sam, i nema druge osim mene, neæu biti udovica niti æu osirotjeti.
Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 To æe ti oboje doæi ujedanput, u isti dan, da osirotiš i obudoviš, doæi æe ti potpuno, radi mnoštva èini tvojih i radi velike sile èaranja tvoga.
But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 Jer si se pouzdala u zloæu svoju govoreæi: niko me ne vidi. Mudrost tvoja i znanje tvoje prevariše te, te si govorila u srcu svom: ja sam, i osim mene nema druge.
For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me.
11 Zato æe doæi na te zlo, a neæeš znati odakle izlazi, i popašæe te nevolja, da je neæeš moæi odbiti, i doæi æe na te ujedanput pogibao, za koju neæeš znati.
Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know.
12 Stani sada s vraèanjem svojim i s mnoštvom èini svojih, oko kojih si se trudila od mladosti svoje, ne bi li se pomogla, ne bi li se okrijepila.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 Umorila si se od mnoštva namjera svojih; neka stanu sada zvjezdari, koji gledaju zvijezde, koji prorièu svakoga mjeseca, i neka te saèuvaju od onoga što æe doæi na te.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from [these things] that shall come upon thee.
14 Gle, oni su kao pljeva, oganj æe ih spaliti, ni sami sebe neæe izbaviti iz plamena; neæe ostati uglja da se ko ogrije, ni ognja da bi se posjedjelo kod njega.
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
15 Taki æe biti oni s kojima si se trudila i s kojima si trgovala od mladosti svoje, razbjeæi æe se svaki na svoju stranu; neæe biti nikoga da te izbavi.
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
