Isaija 65
1 Potražiše me koji ne pitahu za me; naðoše me koji me ne tražahu; rekoh narodu koji se ne zove mojim imenom: evo me, evo me.
I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
2 Vas dan pružah ruke svoje narodu nepokornu, koji ide za svojim mislima putem koji nije dobar,
I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
3 Narodu, koji me jednako gnjevi u oèi, koji prinosi žrtve u vrtovima i kadi na opekama;
These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
4 Koji sjede kod grobova i noæuju u peæinama, jedu meso svinjeæe i juha im je neèista u sudovima;
They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
5 Koji govore: odlazi, ne dohvataj me se, jer sam svetiji od tebe. Ti su dim u nozdrvama mojim, oganj koji gori vas dan.
They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
6 Eto, napisano je preda mnom: neæu muèati, nego æu platiti, platiæu im u njedra.
Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
7 Za bezakonja vaša i za bezakonja otaca vaših, veli Gospod, koji kadiše na gorama, i na humovima ružiše me, izmjeriæu im u njedra platu za djela koja èiniše od poèetka.
I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
8 Ovako veli Gospod: kao kad ko naðe vina u grozdu, pa reèe: ne kvari ga, jer je blagoslov u njemu, tako æu uèiniti radi sluga svojih, neæu ih potrti svijeh,
This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
9 Jer æu izvesti sjeme iz Jakova i iz Jude našljednika gorama svojim, i naslijediæe ih izbranici moji, i sluge moje naseliæe se ondje.
I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
10 A Saron æe biti tor za ovce i dolina Ahorska poèivalište za goveda narodu mojemu koji me traži.
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
11 A vi, koji ostavljate Gospoda, koji zaboravljate svetu goru moju, koji postavljate sto Gadu i ljevate naljev Meniju,
But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
12 Vas æu izbrojiti pod maè, i svi æete pripasti na klanje, jer zvah a vi se ne odzivaste, govorih a vi ne slušaste, nego èiniste što je zlo preda mnom i izabraste što meni nije po volji.
I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
13 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: gle, sluge æe moje jesti, a vi æete gladovati; gle, sluge æe moje piti, a vi æete biti žedni; gle, sluge æe se moje veseliti, a vi æete se stidjeti.
So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
14 Gle, sluge æe moje pjevati od radosti u srcu, a vi æete vikati od žalosti u srcu i ridaæete od tuge u duhu.
Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
15 I ostaviæete ime svoje izbranima mojim za uklin; i Gospod æe te Bog ubiti, a sluge æe svoje nazvati drugim imenom.
Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
16 Ko se uzblagosilja na zemlji, blagosiljaæe se Bogom istinijem; a ko se uskune na zemlji, kleæe se Bogom istinijem; jer æe se prve nevolje zaboraviti i sakrivene æe biti od oèiju mojih.
Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
17 Jer, gle, ja æu stvoriti nova nebesa i novu zemlju, i što je prije bilo neæe se pominjati niti æe na um dolaziti.
Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
18 Nego se radujte i veselite se dovijeka radi onoga što æu ja stvoriti; jer gle, ja æu stvoriti Jerusalim da bude veselje i narod njegov da bude radost.
Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
19 I ja æu se veseliti radi Jerusalima, i radovaæu se radi naroda svojega, i neæe se više èuti u njemu plaè ni jauk.
I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
20 Neæe više biti ondje maloga djeteta ni starca koji ne bi navršio dana svojih; jer æe dijete umirati od sto godina, a grješnik od sto godina biæe proklet.
No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
21 I oni æe graditi kuæe i sjedjeæe u njima; i sadiæe vinograde i ješæe rod njihov.
They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
22 Neæe oni graditi a drugi se naseliti, neæe saditi a drugi jesti, jer æe dani narodu mojemu biti kao dani drvetu, i izbranicima æe mojim ovetšati djela ruku njihovijeh.
No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
23 Neæe raditi uzalud, niti æe raðati za strah, jer æe biti sjeme blagoslovenijeh od Gospoda, i natražje æe njihovo biti s njima.
They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
24 I prije nego povièu, ja æu se odazvati; još æe govoriti, a ja æu uslišiti.
I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
25 Vuk i jagnje zajedno æe pasti, i lav æe jesti slamu kao vo; a zmiji æe biti hrana prah; neæe uditi ni potirati na svoj svetoj gori mojoj, veli Gospod.
The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
