< Isaija 5 >

1 Zapjevaæu sada dragome svojemu pjesmu dragoga svojega o vinogradu njegovu. Dragi moj ima vinograd na rodnu brdašcu.
Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2 I ogradi ga, i otrijebi iz njega kamenje, i nasadi ga plemenitom lozom, i sazida kulu usred njega, i iskopa pivnicu u njemu, i poèeka da rodi grožðem, a on rodi vinjagom.
and he made a trench about it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 Pa sada, stanovnici Jerusalimski i ljudi Judejci, sudite izmeðu mene i vinograda mojega.
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 Što je još trebalo èiniti vinogradu mojemu što mu ne uèinih? kad èekah da rodi grožðem, zašto rodi vinjagom?
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 Sada æu vam kazati što æu uèiniti vinogradu svojemu. Oboriæu mu ogradu, neka opusti; razvaliæu mu zid, neka se pogazi;
And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the fence thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 Uparložiæu ga, neæe se rezati ni kopati, nego æe rasti èkalj i trnje, i zapovjediæu oblacima da ne puštaju više dažda na nj.
and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 Da, vinograd je Gospoda nad vojskama dom Izrailjev, i ljudi su Judejci mili sad njegov; on èeka sud, a gle nasilja, èeka pravdu, a gle vike.
For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8 Teško onima koji sastavljaju kuæu s kuæom, i njivu na njivu nastavljaju, da veæ ne bude mjesta i vi sami ostanete u zemlji.
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 Od Gospoda nad vojskama èuh: mnoge kuæe opustjeæe, u velikim i lijepijem neæe biti nikoga.
In mine ears [saith] the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10 Jer æe deset rala vinograda dati jedan vat, i gomer sjemena daæe efu.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield [but] an ephah.
11 Teško onima koji rane, te idu na silovito piæe i ostaju do mraka dok ih vino raspali.
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!
12 I na gozbama su im gusle i psaltiri i bubnji i svirale i vino; a ne gledaju na djela Gospodnja i ne vide rada ruku njegovijeh.
And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are [in] their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Zato se narod moj odvede u ropstvo što ne znaju, i koje poštuje gladuju, i ljudstvo njegovo gine od žeði.
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, for lack of knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
14 Zato se raširio grob i razvalio ždrijelo svoje preveæ, i siæi æe u nj slava njegova i mnoštvo njegovo i vreva njegova i koji se vesele u njemu. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore hell hath enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend [into it]. (Sheol h7585)
15 I pognuæe se prost èovjek, i visoki æe se poniziti, i ponosite oèi oboriæe se;
And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:
16 Gospod nad vojskama uzvisiæe se sudom, i Bog sveti posvetiæe se pravdom.
but the LORD of hosts is exalted in judgment, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 I jaganjci æe pasti po svom obièaju, i došljaci æe jesti s pustijeh mjesta pretilinu.
Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.
18 Teško onima koji vuku bezakonje uzicama od taštine, i grijeh kao užem kolskim,
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19 Koji govore: neka pohiti, neka brzo doðe djelo njegovo, da vidimo, i neka se približi i doðe što je naumio svetac Izrailjev, da poznamo.
that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20 Teško onima koji zlo zovu dobro, a dobro zlo, koji prave od mraka svjetlost a od svjetlosti mrak, koji prave od gorkoga slatko a od slatkoga gorko.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Teško onima koji misle da su mudri, i sami su sebi razumni.
Woe unto them that are wise their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Teško onima koji su jaki piti vino i junaci u miješanju silovita piæa.
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Koji pravdaju bezbožnika za poklon, a pravednima uzimaju pravdu.
which justify the wicked for a reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Zato kao što oganj proždire strnjiku i slame nestaje u plamenu, tako æe korijen njihov biti kao trulež i cvijet njihov otiæi æe kao prah, jer odbaciše zakon Gospoda nad vojskama i prezreše rijeè sveca Izrailjeva.
Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Zato se raspali gnjev Gospodnji na narod njegov, i mahnuv rukom svojom na nj udari ga da se gore zadrmaše i mrtva tjelesa njegova biše kao blato po ulicama. Kod svega toga gnjev se njegov ne odvrati, nego je ruka njegova još podignuta.
Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them, and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 I podignuæe zastavu narodima daljnijem, i zazviždaæe im s kraja zemlje; i gle, oni æe doæi odmah, brzo.
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 Neæe biti meðu njima umorna ni sustala, ni dremljiva ni sanljiva, nikome se neæe raspasati pojas oko njega, niti æe se kome otkinuti remen na obuæi.
None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Strijele æe im biti oštre, i svi lukovi njihovi zapeti; kopita u konja njihovijeh biæe kao kremen i toèkovi njihovi kao vihor.
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Rika æe im biti kao u lava, i rikaæe kao laviæi; buèaæe i ugrabiæe plijen i odnijeti ga, i neæe biti nikoga da otme.
their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
30 Buèaæe nad njim u to vrijeme kao što more buèi. Tada æe pogledati na zemlju, a to mrak i strah, i svjetlost æe se pomraèiti nad pogiblju njihovom.
And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.
