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 said YHWH: “The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this—the house that you build for Me? And where [is] this—the place—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.
And My hand has made all these, And all these things are,” A declaration of YHWH! “And to this one I look attentively, To the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
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.
Whoever slaughters the ox strikes a man, Whoever sacrifices the lamb beheads a dog, Whoever is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoever is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Indeed, they have fixed on their own ways, And their soul has 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.
I also—I fix on their distress, And I bring in their fears to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spoke, and they have not listened, And they do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
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 a word of YHWH, You who are trembling at His word: “Your brothers who are hating you, Who are driving you out for My Name’s sake, have said, YHWH is honored, and we look on your joy, But they are ashamed.”
6 Vika ide iz grada, glas iz crkve, glas Gospodnji koji plaæa neprijateljima svojim.
A voice of noise from the city, A voice from the temple, The voice of YHWH, Giving repayment to His enemies.
7 Ona se porodi prije nego osjeti bolove, prije nego joj doðoše muke, rodi djetiæa.
“Before she is pained she has brought forth, Before a pang comes to her, She has delivered a male.
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 has heard anything like this? Who has seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For she has been pained, Zion has also borne her sons.
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.
Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?” says YHWH, “Am I not He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,” said your 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 in her, all you loving her, Rejoice with her for joy, All you who are mourning for her,
11 Jer æete sati sise od utjehe njegove, i nasitiæete se, saæete i naslaðivaæete se u svjetlosti slave njegove.
So that you suckle, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that you wring out, and have delighted yourselves 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 said YHWH: “Behold, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And the glory of nations as an overflowing stream, And you have sucked, You are carried on the side, And you are dandled on the knees.
13 Kao kad koga mati njegova tješi tako æu ja vas tješiti, i utješiæete se u Jerusalimu.
As one whom his mother comforts, so do I comfort you, Indeed, you are 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.
And you have seen, and your heart has rejoiced, And your bones flourish as tender grass, And the hand of YHWH has been known to His servants, And He has been indignant 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, YHWH comes in fire, And His chariots as a windstorm, To refresh His anger in fury, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
16 Jer æe Gospod suditi ognjem i maèem svojim svakom tijelu, i mnogo æe biti pobijenijeh od Gospoda.
For by fire and by His sword, YHWH does judgment with all flesh. And many have been YHWH’s pierced ones.
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.
“Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves [to go] to the gardens, One after another in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the muroid, Are consumed together,” A declaration of YHWH.
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.
“And I—their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen 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 have set a sign among them, And have sent out of them those escaping to the nations (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the islands that are far off), Who have not heard My fame, nor seen My glory, And they have declared My glory among nations.
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 have brought all your brothers out of all the nations, A present to YHWH, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, To My holy mountain Jerusalem,” said YHWH, “As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of YHWH.
21 I izmeðu njih æu uzeti sveštenike i Levite, veli Gospod.
And I also take of them for priests, For Levites,” said YHWH.
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 that I am making, Are standing before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So your seed and your name remain.
23 I od mladine do mladine, i od subote do subote dolaziæe svako tijelo da se pokloni preda mnom, veli Gospod.
And it has been from month to month, And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All flesh come to bow themselves before Me,” said YHWH.
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 have gone forth, And looked on the carcasses of the men Who are transgressing against Me, For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!”
