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.
During the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not prevail against it.
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.
It was reported to the house of David that Aram was allied with Ephraim. His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest shake in 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 Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-Jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the road to Launderer's 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, 'Be careful, remain calm, do not be afraid or intimidated by these two smoldering firebrands, by the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Pekah son of Remaliah.
5 Što se Sirci i Jefrem i sin Remalijin dogovoriše na tvoje zlo govoreæi:
Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have planned evil against you; they have said,
6 Hajdemo na Judejsku da joj dosadimo i da je osvojimo i da postavimo u njoj carem sina Taveilova;
“Let us attack Judah and terrify her, and let us break into her and set up our king there, the son of Tabeel.”
7 Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog: neæe se to uèiniti, neæe biti.
The Lord Yahweh says, “It will not take place; it will not 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.
because the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years, Ephraim will be shattered and will no longer be a people.
9 I glava je Jefremu Samarija, a Samariji je glava sin Remalijin. Ako ne vjerujete, neæete se održati.
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you do not remain firm in faith, surely you will not remain secure.”'”
10 I još reèe Gospod Ahazu govoreæi:
The Lord spoke again to Ahaz,
“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask for it in the depths or in the height above.” (Sheol h7585)
12 A Ahaz reèe: neæu iskati, niti æu kušati Gospoda.
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test Yahweh.”
13 Tada reèe Isaija: slušajte sada, dome Davidov; malo li vam je što dosaðujete ljudima, nego dosaðujete i Bogu mojemu?
So Isaiah replied, “Listen, house of David. Is it not enough for you people to test the patience of people? Must you also test the patience of my God?
14 Zato æe vam sam Gospod dati znak: eto djevojka æe zatrudnjeti i rodiæe sina, i nadjenuæe mu ime Emanuilo.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you people a sign: See, the young woman will conceive, bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel.
15 Maslo i med ješæe, dokle ne nauèi odbaciti zlo a izabrati dobro.
He will eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the 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 child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be desolate.
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.
Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house days unlike any since Ephraim seceded from Judah—he will bring on you the king of Assyria.”
18 I tada æe Gospod zazviždati muhama koje su nakraj rijeka Misirskih, i pèelama koje su u zemlji Asirskoj;
At that time Yahweh will whistle for a fly from the distant streams of Egypt, and for a bee from the land 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 settle down into all the gorges, into the clefts of the rocks, on all the thornbushes, and onto all the pastures.
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 shave with a razor that was hired beyond the Euphrates River—the king of Assyria— the head and the hair of the legs; it will also sweep away the beard.
21 I tada ko saèuva kravicu i dvije ovce,
On that day, a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep,
22 Od mnoštva mlijeka što æe davati ješæe maslo; jer maslo i med ješæe ko god ostane u zemlji.
and because of the abundance of milk which they shall give, he will eat curds, for everyone left 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, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be nothing but briers and thorns.
24 Sa strijelama i s lukom iæi æe se onamo, jer æe sva zemlja biti èkalj i trnje.
Men will go there to hunt with bows, because all the land will be briers 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.
They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, for fear of the briers and thorns; but it will be a place where cattle and sheep graze.
