Isaija 66
1 Ovako veli Gospod: nebo je prijesto moj i zemlja podnožje nogama mojim: gdje je dom koji biste mi sazidali, i gdje je mjesto za moje poèivanje?
Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?
2 Jer je sve to ruka moja stvorila, to je postalo sve, veli Gospod; ali na koga æu pogledati? na nevoljnoga i na onoga ko je skrušena duha i ko drkæe od moje rijeèi.
My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?
3 Ko kolje vola, to je kao da ubije èovjeka; ko kolje ovcu, to je kao da zakolje psa; ko prinosi dar, to je kao da prinese krv svinjeæu; ko kadi kadom, to je kao da blagoslovi idola. To oni izabraše na putovima svojim, i duši se njihovoj mile gadovi njihovi.
He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
4 Izabraæu i ja prema nevaljalstvu njihovu, i pustiæu na njih èega se boje; jer zvah a niko se ne odazva, govorih a oni ne slušaše, nego èiniše što je zlo preda mnom i izabraše što meni nije po volji.
Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
5 Slušajte rijeè Gospodnju, koji drkæete od njegove rijeèi: braæa vaša, koja mrze na vas i izgone vas imena mojega radi, govore: neka se pokaže slava Gospodnja. I pokazaæe se na vašu radost, a oni æe se posramiti.
Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name’s sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.
6 Vika ide iz grada, glas iz crkve, glas Gospodnji koji plaæa neprijateljima svojim.
A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
7 Ona se porodi prije nego osjeti bolove, prije nego joj doðoše muke, rodi djetiæa.
Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
8 Ko je igda èuo to? ko je vidio tako što? Može li zemlja roditi u jedan dan? može li se narod roditi ujedanput? a Sion rodi sinove svoje èim osjeti bolove.
Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
9 Eda li ja, koji otvoram matericu, ne mogu roditi? veli Gospod; eda li æu ja, koji dajem da se raða, biti bez poroda? veli Bog tvoj.
Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
10 Radujte se s Jerusalimom i veselite se u njemu svi koji ga ljubite; radujte se s njim svi koji ga žaliste.
Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.
11 Jer æete sati sise od utjehe njegove, i nasitiæete se, saæete i naslaðivaæete se u svjetlosti slave njegove.
That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.
12 Jer ovako veli Gospod: gle, ja æu kao rijeku dovesti k njemu mir i slavu naroda kao potok bujan, pa æete sati; biæete nošeni na rukama i milovani na koljenima.
For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.
13 Kao kad koga mati njegova tješi tako æu ja vas tješiti, i utješiæete se u Jerusalimu.
As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Vidjeæete i obradovaæe se srce vaše i kosti æe se vaše pomladiti kao trava, i znaæe se ruka Gospodnja na slugama njegovijem i gnjev na neprijateljima njegovijem.
You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.
15 Jer, gle, Gospod æe doæi s ognjem, i kola æe mu biti kao vihor, da izlije gnjev svoj u jarosti i prijetnju u plamenu ognjenom.
For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Jer æe Gospod suditi ognjem i maèem svojim svakom tijelu, i mnogo æe biti pobijenijeh od Gospoda.
For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 Koji se osveštavaju i koji se oèišæaju u vrtovima jedan za drugim javno, koji jedu meso svinjeæe i stvari gadne i miše, svi æe izginuti, veli Gospod.
They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 A ja znam djela njihova i misli njihove, i doæi æe vrijeme, te æu sabrati sve narode i jezike, i doæi æe i vidjeæe slavu moju.
But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
19 I postaviæu znak na njih, i poslaæu izmeðu njih koji se spasu k narodima u Tarsis, u Ful i u Lud, koji natežu luk, u Tuval i u Javan i na daljna ostrva, koja ne èuše glasa o meni niti vidješe slave moje, i javljaæe slavu moju po narodima.
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:
20 I svu æe braæu vašu iz svijeh naroda dovesti Gospodu na dar na konjima i na kolima i na nosilima i na mazgama i na kamilama ka svetoj gori mojoj u Jerusalim, veli Gospod, kao što prinose sinovi Izrailjevi dar u èistu sudu u dom Gospodnji.
And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 I izmeðu njih æu uzeti sveštenike i Levite, veli Gospod.
And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.
22 Jer kao što æe nova nebesa i nova zemlja, što æu ja naèiniti, stajati preda mnom, veli Gospod, tako æe stajati sjeme vaše i ime vaše.
For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
23 I od mladine do mladine, i od subote do subote dolaziæe svako tijelo da se pokloni preda mnom, veli Gospod.
And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.
24 I izlaziæe i gledaæe mrtva tjelesa onijeh ljudi koji se odmetnuše od mene; jer crv njihov neæe umrijeti i oganj njihov neæe se ugasiti, i biæe gad svakom tijelu.
And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.
