Izaija, 3

1. Gle, Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, oduzima Jeruzalemu i Judeji svaku potporu, pomoæ u kruhu i pomoæ u vodi,

1. Ecce enim Dominator, Dominus exercituum, aufert a Ierusalem et a Iuda robur et praesidium, omne robur panis et omne robur aquae,

2. junaka i ratnika, suca i proroka, vraèa i starješinu, pedesetnika i odliènika,

2. fortem et virum bellatorem, iudicem et prophetam et hariolum et senem,

3. savjetnika i mudra gatara i onoga što se bavi èaranjem.

3. principem super quinquaginta et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium et sapientem magum et prudentem incantatorem.

4. "A za glavare postavljam im djecu, dajem deranima da njima vladaju."

4. Et dabo pueros principes eorum; et infantes dominabuntur eis.

5. Ljudi se glože jedan s drugim i svaki s bližnjim svojim; dijete nasræe na starca, prostak na odliènika

5. Et irruet populus, vir ad virum, unusquisque ad proximum suum: tumultuabitur puer contra senem, et ignobilis contra nobilem.

6. te svatko brata hvata u oèinskoj kuæi: "Ti imaš plašt, budi nam glavarom, uzmi u ruke ovo rasulo!"

6. Apprehendet enim vir fratrem suum in domo patris sui: “Vestimentum tibi est, princeps esto noster, ruina autem haec sub manu tua”.

7. A on æe se, u dan onaj, braniti: "Neæu da budem vidar, nema u mene ni kruha ni plašta: ne stavljajte me narodu za glavara."

7. Clamabit in die illa dicens: “Non sum medicus, et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum; nolite constituere me principem populi”.

8. Jeruzalem se ruši i pada Judeja, jer im se jezik i djela Jahvi protive te prkose pogledu Slave njegove.

8. Ruit enim Ierusalem, et Iudas concidit, quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum, ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius.

9. Lice njihovo protiv njih svjedoèi, razmeæu se grijehom poput Sodome i ne kriju ga, jao njima, sami sebi propast spremaju.

9. Procacitas vultus eorum accusat eos, et peccatum suum quasi Sodoma praedicaverunt nec absconderunt; vae animae eorum, quoniam reddita sunt eis mala!

10. Kažite: "Blago pravedniku, hranit æe se plodom djela svojih!

10. Dicite iusto: “Bene!”, quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet.

11. Jao opakome, zlo æe mu biti, na nj æe pasti djela ruku njegovih."

11. Vae impio in malum: retributio enim manuum eius fiet ei!

12. Deran tlaèi narod moj i žene njime vladaju. O narode moj, vladaoci te tvoji zavode i raskapaju put kojim hodiš.

12. Populum meum opprimit infans, et mulieres dominantur ei. Popule meus, qui te beatum dicunt, ipsi te decipiunt et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant.

13. Ustade Jahve da se popravda s narodom svojim,

13. Surgit ad arguendum Dominus et stat ad iudicandos populos.

14. Jahve dolazi na sud sa starješinama i glavarima svog naroda: "Vinograd ste moj opustošili, u vašim je kuæama što oteste siromahu.

14. Dominus ad iudicium veniet cum senibus populi sui et principibus eius: “Vos enim depasti estis vineam, et rapina pauperis in domibus vestris.

15. S kojim pravom narod moj tlaèite i gazite lice siromaha?" - rijeè je Jahve, Gospoda nad Vojskama.

15. Quare atteritis populum meum et facies pauperum commolitis?”, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum.

16. I reèe Jahve: "Što se to ohole kæeri sionske te ispružena vrata hode, okolo okom namiguju, koracima sitnim koracaju, grivnama na nozi zveckaju?

16. Et dixit Dominus: “Pro eo quod elevatae sunt filiae Sion et ambulaverunt extento collo et nutibus oculorum, parvis passibus incedebant et catenulis pedum tinniebant,

17. Oæelavit æe Gospod tjeme kæeri sionskih, obnažit æe Jahve golotinju njihovu."

17. decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion et Dominus crinem earum nudabit”.

18. U onaj æe dan Gospod strgnuti sve èime se ona ponosi: ukosnice i mjeseèiæe,

18. In die illa auferet Dominus ornamentum calceamentorum et torques

19. naušnice, narukvice i koprene,

19. et lunulas et inaures et armillas et mitras,

20. poveze, lanèiæe, pojaseve, boèice s miomirisima i privjese,

20. discriminalia et periscelidas et fascias et olfactoriola

21. prstenje i nosne prstenove,

21. et anulos et ornamenta narium,

22. skupocjene haljine i plašteve, prijevjese i torbice,

22. mutatoria et palliola et linteamina et marsupia,

23. zrcala i košuljice, povezaèe i rupce.

23. specula et sindones et vittas et pallia.

24. Mjesto miomirisa, smrad; mjesto pojasa, konopac; mjesto kovrèa, tjeme obrijano; mjesto gizdave halje, kostrijet; mjesto ljepote, žig.

24. Et erit pro suavi odore foetor, et pro zona funiculus, et pro crispante crine calvitium, et pro fascia pectorali cilicium, stigma pro pulchritudine.

25. Muževi tvoji od maèa æe pasti, junaci tvoji u kreševu.

25. Viri tui gladio cadent, et fortes tui in proelio,

26. Vrata æe tvoja kukat' i tugovati, na zemlji æeš sjedit' napuštena.

26. et maerebunt atque lugebunt portae eius, et desolata in terra sedebit.

Footnotes:

3:1-3 - God announces the removal of leaders and essential sources of support from Jerusalem and Judah as punishment for corruption. The absence of righteous leaders leads to disorder and moral decay (see also Lamentations 4:1-2 and Hosea 4:6).

3:8-9 - Jerusalem's sin is evident to all, as the people display their pride and contempt for God's law. This open display of wickedness invites divine judgment (see also Proverbs 16:18 and Romans 1:32).

3:10-11 - Isaiah differentiates the fate of the righteous and the wicked. While the righteous receive reward, the wicked face ruin, reflecting the principle of divine justice (see also Psalm 1:6 and Malachi 3:18).

3:16-17 - God warns the women of Jerusalem who pride themselves on their beauty and wealth, symbolizing the vanity and materialism that turn the hearts of God's people away (see also 1 Peter 3:3-4 and 1 Timothy 2:9-10).

3:24-26 - Punishment will bring shame and loss. Instead of beauty and pride, there will be dishonor and suffering, highlighting the consequences of sin (see also Ezekiel 16:39 and Revelation 18:7-8).

Verses related to Izaija, 3:

Isaiah chapter 3 pronounces judgment on Judah and Jerusalem. What consequences does corrupt leadership bring? This incisive text details social collapse, the lack of competent leaders, and divine judgment on pride and oppression. The chapter addresses topics such as social responsibility, consequences of sin and the inversion of values. Isaiah 3 serves as a solemn warning against injustice. Consider with us five biblical passages that elucidate the principles of justice presented in this crucial chapter.

Proverbs 1:31: "Therefore they will eat the fruit of their conduct and be satisfied with their own schemes." - This proverb reflects the theme of judgment in Isaiah 3, where people suffer the consequences of their actions.

Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female; for all are one in Christ Jesus." - This verse contrasts with the social division described in Isaiah 3, presenting unity in Christ as the solution.

1 Timothy 2:9-10: "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and discretion, not adorning themselves with braids, or gold, or pearls, or expensive dresses, but with good works, as befits women who profess to worship God." - Paul echoes the warnings in Isaiah 3:16-24 about pride and ostentation.

James 5:1-6: "Listen now, you rich people! Cry and mourn, considering the misery that will befall you. [...] You condemned and killed the righteous man, without him offering you resistance." - James warns the rich in a similar way to Isaiah 3, condemning the oppression of the poor.

Revelation 19:11-16: "I saw the sky open and before me a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. He judges and wars with justice. [...] From his blood-spattered clothes came the name: King of kings and Lord of lords." - This vision of divine judgment reflects the theme of judgment in Isaiah 3.
