Isaija 7
1 U vrijeme Ahaza sina Jotama sina Ozije cara Judina doðe Resin car Sirski i Fakej sin Remalijin car Izrailjev na Jerusalim da ga biju, ali ga ne mogoše uzeti.
It was during the reign of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, king of Aram, marched to attack Jerusalem. Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, joined in the attack, but they couldn't conquer the city.
2 I doðe glas domu Davidovu i rekoše: Sirija se složi s Jefremom. A srce Ahazovo i srce naroda njegova ustrepta kao drveæe u šumi od vjetra.
When the royal family of Judah was told, “Aram and Ephraim have an alliance,” Ahaz and his people were terrified and they shook like trees in the forest tossed about by the wind.
3 Tada reèe Gospod Isaiji: izidi na susret Ahazu, ti i Sear-jasuv sin tvoj, nakraj jaza gornjega jezera, na put kod polja bjeljareva.
Then the Lord told Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub with you and go and meet Ahaz. He'll be at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, by the road to the laundry field.
4 I reci mu: èuvaj se i budi miran, ne boj se i srce tvoje neka se ne plaši od dva kraja ovijeh glavanja što se puše, od raspaljenoga gnjeva Resinova i Sirskoga i sina Remalijina.
Tell him, ‘Calm down and keep quiet. Don't be afraid or scared over a couple of smoldering bits of firewood, over the burning anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Remaliah's son.
5 Što se Sirci i Jefrem i sin Remalijin dogovoriše na tvoje zlo govoreæi:
Aram has plotted to destroy you together with Ephraim and Remaliah's son saying,
6 Hajdemo na Judejsku da joj dosadimo i da je osvojimo i da postavimo u njoj carem sina Taveilova;
Let's go and attack Judah! We'll terrorize it and conquer it for ourselves, and make Tabeel's son its king.”
7 Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog: neæe se to uèiniti, neæe biti.
But this is what the Lord God says, “This plan won't materialize—it just won't happen!
8 Jer je glava Siriji Damasak, a Damasku je glava Resin; i do šezdeset i pet godina satræe se Jefrem tako da više neæe biti narod.
For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. In addition, within sixty-five years Israel as a nation will be destroyed.
9 I glava je Jefremu Samarija, a Samariji je glava sin Remalijin. Ako ne vjerujete, neæete se održati.
The head of Israel is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you don't trust in me, then you won't survive.”
10 I još reèe Gospod Ahazu govoreæi:
Later the Lord sent another message to Ahaz,
“Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether as deep as where people are buried or as high as heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
12 A Ahaz reèe: neæu iskati, niti æu kušati Gospoda.
“No, I'm not going to ask,” Ahaz replied. “I refuse to put the Lord to the test.”
13 Tada reèe Isaija: slušajte sada, dome Davidov; malo li vam je što dosaðujete ljudima, nego dosaðujete i Bogu mojemu?
Then Isaiah said, “Listen, royal family of Judah! Isn't it enough for you to wear people out? Do you have to wear my God out too?
14 Zato æe vam sam Gospod dati znak: eto djevojka æe zatrudnjeti i rodiæe sina, i nadjenuæe mu ime Emanuilo.
This is why the Lord himself is going to give you a sign. Look! The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will call him Immanuel.
15 Maslo i med ješæe, dokle ne nauèi odbaciti zlo a izabrati dobro.
He will eat curds and honey until the time he knows to refuse evil and choose the good.
16 Jer prije nego nauèi dijete odbaciti zlo a izabrati dobro, ostaviæe zemlju, na koju se gadiš, dva cara njezina.
For before the boy knows to refuse evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you're afraid of will be deserted.
17 Gospod æe pustiti na te i na narod tvoj i na dom oca tvojega dane, kakih nije bilo otkad se Jefrem odvoji od Jude, preko cara Asirskoga.
The Lord will make you, your people, and the royal family experience a time unlike anything since the day Ephraim split from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria to attack you!”
18 I tada æe Gospod zazviždati muhama koje su nakraj rijeka Misirskih, i pèelama koje su u zemlji Asirskoj;
At that time the Lord will whistle to call flies from the distant rivers of Egypt and bees from the country of Assyria.
19 I doæi æe i popadaæe sve u puste doline i u kamene rasjeline i na sve èeste i na svako drvce.
They will all come and descend on the steep valleys and rock crevices, on all the thorn bushes and waterholes.
20 Tada æe Gospod obrijati britvom zakupljenom ispreko rijeke, carem Asirskim, glavu i dlake po nogama, i bradu svu.
At that time the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave you from head to toe, including your beards.
21 I tada ko saèuva kravicu i dvije ovce,
At that time a someone who manages to keep a young cow and two sheep alive
22 Od mnoštva mlijeka što æe davati ješæe maslo; jer maslo i med ješæe ko god ostane u zemlji.
will eat curds, because they produce so much milk—for everyone who survives in the land will eat curds and honey.
23 I tada æe svako mjesto gdje ima tisuæa èokota za tisuæu srebrnika zarasti u èkalj i trnje.
At that time everywhere that once had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will only have brambles and thorns.
24 Sa strijelama i s lukom iæi æe se onamo, jer æe sva zemlja biti èkalj i trnje.
People will go hunting there with bows and arrows because the land will be covered with brambles and thorns.
25 A na sve gore koje su se kopale motikom, na njih neæe doæi strah od èkalja i trnja, nego æe biti ispust volovima i gaziæe ih ovce.
In fact, all the hills that were once tilled by the hoe you won't want to go to because you'll worry about the brambles and thorns there. They'll just be where cattle are let loose and where sheep roam.
