Isaija 8

1 I reèe mi Gospod: uzmi knjigu veliku i napiši u njoj pismom èovjeèijim: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.

Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.

2 I uzeh vjerne svjedoke, Uriju sveštenika i Zahariju sina Jeverehijina.

Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.

3 Potom pristupih k proroèici, i ona zatrudnje i rodi sina. A Gospod mi reèe: nadjeni mu ime: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.

After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.

4 Jer prije nego dijete nauèi vikati: oèe moj i majko moja, odnijeæe se blago Damaštansko i plijen Samarijski pred carem Asirskim.

For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.

5 I još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi:

And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,

6 Što ovaj narod ne mari za vodu Siloamsku koja teèe tiho, i raduje se Resinu i sinu Remalijinu,

Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,

7 Zato, evo, Gospod æe navesti na njih vodu iz rijeke silnu i veliku, cara Asirskoga i svu slavu njegovu, te æe izaæi iz svijeh potoka svojih, i teæi æe povrh svijeh bregova svojih,

Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,

8 I navaliæe preko Jude, plaviæe i razlivaæe se i doæi do grla, i krila æe joj se raširiti preko svekolike zemlje tvoje, Emanuilo!

And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.

9 Združujte se, narodi, ali æete se potrti; èujte svi koji ste u daljnoj zemlji: oružajte se, ali æete se potrti; oružajte se, ali æete se potrti.

Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.

10 Dogovarajte se, dogovor æe vam se razbiti: recite rijeè, neæe biti od nje ništa, jer je s nama Bog.

Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.

11 Jer mi ovako reèe Gospod uhvativši me za ruku i opomenuvši me da ne idem putem ovoga naroda, govoreæi:

For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,

12 Ne govorite buna, kad god ovaj narod kaže buna, i ne bojte se èega se on boji, i ne plašite se.

Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.

13 Gospoda nad vojskama svetite; i on neka vam je strah i bojazan.

Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,

14 I biæe vam svetinja, a kamen za spoticanje i stijena za sablazan objema domovima Izrailjevijem, zamka i mreža stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.

And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

15 I spotaknuæe se mnogi i pašæe i satræe se, zaplešæe se i uhvatiæe se.

And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.

16 Sveži svjedoèanstvo, zapeèati zakon mojim uèenicima.

Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.

17 Èekaæu dakle Gospoda, koji je sakrio lice svoje od doma Jakovljeva, i uzdaæu se u nj.

Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.

18 Evo ja i djeca koju mi je dao Gospod jesmo znak i èudo Izrailju od Gospoda nad vojskama, koji nastava na gori Sionu.

Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

19 I ako vam reku: pitajte vraèe i gatare, koji šapæu i mrmljaju; recite: ne treba li narod da pita Boga svojega? ili æe pitati mrtve mjesto živijeh?

And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?

20 Zakon i svjedoèanstvo tražite. Ako li ko ne govori tako, njemu nema zore.

To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.

21 I hodiæe po zemlji potucajuæi se i gladujuæi; i kad bude gladan, ljutiæe se i psovati cara svojega i Boga svojega gore.

Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.

22 A kad pogleda na zemlju, a to nevolja i mrak i teška muka, i on zagnan u tamu.

And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
