Isaiah, 10

1. Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:

1. Jao onima koji izdaju odredbe nepravedne, koji ispisuju propise tlaèiteljske;

2. in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.

2. koji uskraæuju pravdu ubogima i otimlju pravo sirotinji mog naroda, da oplijene udovice, da opljaèkaju sirote!

3. What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,

3. Što æete èiniti u dan kazne kad izdaleka propast doðe? Kom æete se za pomoæ uteæi, gdje ostaviti blago svoje

4. so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.

4. da se ne morate meðu roblje pognuti, pasti meðu poklanima? Na sve to gnjev se njegov neæe smiriti, ruka æe mu ostat' ispružena.

5. Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.

5. Jao Asiru, šibi gnjeva mojega, prutu kojim srdžba moja zamahuje!

6. I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.

6. Na puk ga poslah nevjeran, na narod što me razjari, da ga oplijeni i opljaèka, da ga izgazi k'o blato na ulici.

7. But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.

7. Ali on nije tako mislio i u srcu nije tako sudio, veæ u srcu zasnova zator, istrebljenje mnogih naroda.

8. For he will say:

8. Govoraše: "Nisu li svi knezovi moji kraljevi?

9. “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

9. Nije li Kalno kao Karkemiš? Nije li Hamat kao Arpad, Samarija kao Damask?

10. In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.

10. Kao što mi ruka dosegnu kraljevstva kumira, bogatija kipovima od Jeruzalema i Samarije,

11. Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”

11. kao što uèinih sa Samarijom i kumirima njenim, neæu li uèiniti s Jeruzalemom i s likovima njegovim?"

12. And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.

12. I kad dovrši Gospod sve djelo svoje na gori Sionu i u Jeruzalemu, kaznit æe plod ohola srca kralja asirskog i drskost njegovih ponositih oèiju.

13. For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.

13. Jer reèe: "Uèinih snagom svoje ruke i mudrošæu svojom, jer sam uman; uklonih meðe narodima i blaga njihova opljaèkah, kao junak oborih one što sjede na prijestoljima.

14. And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”

14. Ruka moja kao gnijezda zgrabi bogatstva naroda. Kao što se kÓupe ostavljena jaja, zemlju svu sam pokupio i nikog ne bi krilima da zalepeæe, kljun otvori, zapijuèe."

15. Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?

15. Zar se hvali sjekira povrh onog koji njome sijeèe? Hoæe li se oholit' pila povrh onog koji njome pili? K'o da šiba maše onim koji je podiže, il' štap diže onog koji drvo nije;

16. Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.

16. Jahve nad Vojskama poslat æe stoga gojaznima njegovim skonèanje, slavu æe mu ognjem potpaliti, kao što se vatra potpiruje.

17. And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.

17. Svjetlost Izraelova bit æe poput ognja, Svetac njegov kao plamen koji æe zapalit' i proždrijeti draè njegov i trnje njegovo u jednome danu.

18. And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.

18. I krasotu njegovih šuma i voænjaka uništit æe od srèike do kore, ona æe biti k'o bolesnik što se trne;

19. And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.

19. ostatak stabala šumskih bit æe lako izbrojiti - dijete æe ih lako popisati.

20. And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

20. U onaj dan: Ostatak Izraelov i preživjeli iz kuæe Jakovljeve neæe se više oslanjati na onoga koji ih bije, veæ æe se iskreno oslanjati na Jahvu, Sveca Izraelova.

21. The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.

21. Ostatak æe se vratiti, ostatak Jakovljev Bogu jakome.

22. For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.

22. Zaista, o Izraele, sve da naroda tvojega ima kao pijeska u moru, samo æe se Ostatak njegov vratiti. Odreðeno je uništenje, pravda se prelila,

23. For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.

23. Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, poharat æe, kako odredi, svu zemlju.

24. For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.

24. Zato ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: "O narode moj što prebivaš na Sionu, ne boj se Asira kad te šibom tuèe, kad štap diže na tebe.

25. But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”

25. Jer, još malo, vrlo malo, i gnjev moj æe prestati, moja æe ih jarost uništiti."

26. And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.

26. Na nj æe Jahve nad Vojskama bièem zamahnuti, kao kad udari Midjan na stijeni Orebu, i štap æe diæi nad more k'o na putu egipatskom.

27. And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.

27. U onaj dan: s leða æe ti breme pasti i jaram njegov s vrata æe ti nestat'.

28. He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.

28. Ide on od Rimona, dolazi na Ajat, prelazi Migron, u Mikmasu breme odlaže.

29. They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.

29. Prelaze klance, u Gebi im je noæište; Rama dršæe, Gibea Šaulova bježi.

30. Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.

30. Vièi iza glasa, Bat Galime! Slušaj ga, Lajšo! Odgovori mu, Anatote!

31. Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.

31. Madmena pobježe, utekoše stanovnici gebimski.

32. It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

32. Još danas zaustavit æe se u Nobu, rukom prijeti gori Kæeri sionske, Brijegu jeruzalemskom.

33. Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.

33. Gle, Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, kreše grane silom strahovitom: najviši su vršci posjeèeni, ponajviši sniženi.

34. And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.

34. Pod sjekirom pada šumska guštara, sa slavom svojom pada Libanon.
