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 men shall nevermore call thee, Tender and delicate.
2 Uzmi žrvnje, i melji brašno, otkrij kosu svoju, izuj se, zagali golijeni, idi preko rijeka.
Take the mill, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, lift up the train, 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 regard any man.
4 Ime je izbavitelju našemu Gospod nad vojskama, svetac Izrailjev.
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 enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for men shall never more call thee, The mistress 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 over my people, I defiled my inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: [yet] thou didst grant them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou laid very heavily 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, For ever shall I be mistress; until that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, thou didst not call to mind the result thereof.
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.
And now hear this, luxurious one, that dwellest in security, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and there is nothing 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.
Yet both these things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, despite of the multitude of thy sorceries, despite of the very great abundance of thy 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.
And thou didst trust in thy wickedness: thou saidst, No one seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, —these were they that seduced thee; and thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is nothing 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.
And there shall come upon thee an evil, which thou shalt not know how to remove it by prayer; and there shall fall upon thee mischief, which thou shalt not be able to atone for; and there shall come upon thee suddenly desolation, 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 thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; peradventure thou mayest be able to profit, peradventure thou mayest withstand.
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 with the multitude of thy counsels. Do let now those that divide off the heavens, that look at the stars, that announce [coming] events at new moons, stand up, and save thee from the things that are to come over 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 are become as stubble; the fire burneth them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: not a coal shall be left to warm at, no blaze 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 are they become unto thee with whom thou hast labored; those that had commerce with thee from thy youth, wander away every one on his road: there is no one to save thee.
