Isaija 8
1 I reèe mi Gospod: uzmi knjigu veliku i napiši u njoj pismom èovjeèijim: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.
Adonai said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
2 I uzeh vjerne svjedoke, Uriju sveštenika i Zahariju sina Jeverehijina.
and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah [My light Yah] the priest, and Zechariah [Remembered by Yah] the son of Jeberechiah.”
3 Potom pristupih k proroèici, i ona zatrudnje i rodi sina. A Gospod mi reèe: nadjeni mu ime: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Adonai said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash 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 child knows how to say, ‘My father,’ and, ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus [Bucket of blood] and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria [Level plain].”
5 I još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi:
Adonai spoke to me yet again, saying,
6 Što ovaj narod ne mari za vodu Siloamsku koja teèe tiho, i raduje se Resinu i sinu Remalijinu,
“Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
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,
now therefore, behold, 'Adonay [Lord] brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria [Level plain] and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its 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!
It will sweep onward into Judah [Praised]. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, 'Immanu El [God is with us].
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.
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10 Dogovarajte se, dogovor æe vam se razbiti: recite rijeè, neæe biti od nje ništa, jer je s nama Bog.
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us.”
11 Jer mi ovako reèe Gospod uhvativši me za ruku i opomenuvši me da ne idem putem ovoga naroda, govoreæi:
For Adonai spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk 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.
“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.
13 Gospoda nad vojskama svetite; i on neka vam je strah i bojazan.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14 I biæe vam svetinja, a kamen za spoticanje i stijena za sablazan objema domovima Izrailjevijem, zamka i mreža stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.
He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel [God prevails], he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem [City of peace].
15 I spotaknuæe se mnogi i pašæe i satræe se, zaplešæe se i uhvatiæe se.
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16 Sveži svjedoèanstvo, zapeèati zakon mojim uèenicima.
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the Torah ·Teaching· among my disciples.
17 Èekaæu dakle Gospoda, koji je sakrio lice svoje od doma Jakovljeva, i uzdaæu se u nj.
I will wait for Adonai, who hides his face from the house of Jacob [Supplanter], and I will trust in 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.
Behold, I and the children whom Adonai has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel [God prevails] from Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], who dwells in Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
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?
When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:” should not a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 Zakon i svjedoèanstvo tražite. Ako li ko ne govori tako, njemu nema zore.
Turn to the Torah ·Teaching· and to the testimony! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 I hodiæe po zemlji potucajuæi se i gladujuæi; i kad bude gladan, ljutiæe se i psovati cara svojega i Boga svojega gore.
They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 A kad pogleda na zemlju, a to nevolja i mrak i teška muka, i on zagnan u tamu.
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
