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 says the LORD, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is the 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.
For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says the LORD: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles 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.
He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights 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 will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
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 who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6 Vika ide iz grada, glas iz crkve, glas Gospodnji koji plaæa neprijateljima svojim.
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
7 Ona se porodi prije nego osjeti bolove, prije nego joj doðoše muke, rodi djetiæa.
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
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 such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she 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 I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says 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 for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11 Jer æete sati sise od utjehe njegove, i nasitiæete se, saæete i naslaðivaæete se u svjetlosti slave njegove.
that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with 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 says the LORD, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her 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 will I comfort you; and you will 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 will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against 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, look, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, 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 by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, on 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.
"Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says 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.
"For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will come and 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.
"I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the 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.
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their 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 also take some of them for myself as cohanim and Levites," says 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, shall remain before me," says the LORD, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
23 I od mladine do mladine, i od subote do subote dolaziæe svako tijelo da se pokloni preda mnom, veli Gospod.
It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says 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.
"They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind."
