Isaiah, 13

1. The burden of Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.

1. Proroštvo o Babilonu koje vidje Izaija, sin Amosov.

2. Over the foggy mountain lift up a sign! Raise the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers enter through the gates!

2. Na goletnu brdu dignite zastavu, vièite im iz sveg grla. Mašite rukom neka doðu na vrata kneževska.

3. In my wrath, I commanded my sanctified ones, and I called my strong ones, those who exult in my glory.

3. Zapovijed dadoh svetim svojim ratnicima, gnjevu svom pozvah svoje junake koji slave velièanstvo moje.

4. On the mountains, there is the voice of a multitude, as if of a numerous people, a voice with the sound of kings, of nations gathered together. For the Lord of hosts has given orders to soldiers of war,

4. Èuj! Žagor na gorama kao od silna naroda. Èuj! Buka kraljevstava, sakupljenih naroda. To Jahve nad Vojskama za boj vojsku pregleda.

5. to those who are arriving from a far off land, from the heights of the heavens. It is the Lord and the instruments of his fury, so that he may bring ruin to all the earth.

5. Iz daleka kraja, s granica neba dolaze oni - Jahve i oruða gnjeva njegova - da svu zemlju poharaju.

6. Wail aloud! For the day of the Lord draws near! It will arrive like a devastation from the Lord.

6. Kukajte, jer je blizu Jahvin dan, k'o pohara dolazi od Svemoænog.

7. Because of it, every hand will fail, and every heart of man will waste away and be crushed.

7. I sve ruke stog' malakšu ... Svako ljudsko srce klone,

8. Writhing and pain will seize them. They will be in pain, like a woman in labor. Each one will appear stupefied to his neighbor. Their countenances will be like faces which have been burned up.

8. strava ih je obrvala, trudovi boli veæ ih spopadaju i grèe se k'o rodilja. U prepasti jedan drugog motre, lica su im poput plamena.

9. Behold, the day of the Lord approaches: a cruel day, full of indignation and wrath and fury, which will place the earth in solitude and crush the sinners from it.

9. Dolazi nesmiljeni Jahvin dan - gnjev i jarost - da u pustoš zemlju prometne, da istrijebi iz nje grešnike.

10. For the stars of the heavens, in their splendor, will not display their light. The sun will be obscured at its rising, and the moon will not shine in her brightness.

10. Jer nebeske zvijezde a ni Štapci neæe više sjati svjetlošæu, pomrèat æe sunce ishodeæi i mjesec neæe više svijetliti.

11. And I will act against the evils of the world, and against the impious for their iniquity. And I will cause the pride of the unfaithful to cease, and I will bring down the arrogance of the strong.

11. Kaznit æu svijet za zloæu, bezbožnike za bezakonje, dokrajèit æu ponos oholih, poniziti nadutost silnika.

12. A man will be more precious than gold, and mankind will become like pure refined gold.

12. Rjeði æe biti èovjek neg' žeženo zlato, rjeði samrtnik od zlata ofirskog.

13. For this purpose, I will stir up heaven, and the earth will be moved from its place, because of the indignation of the Lord of hosts, because of the day of his furious wrath.

13. Nebesa æu potresti, maknut æe se zemlja s mjesta od srdžbe Jahve nad Vojskama u dan kad se izlije gnjev njegov.

14. And they will be like a doe fleeing away, or like sheep; and there will be no one who may gather them together. Each one will turn to his own people, and every one will flee to his own land.

14. I tada, kao gazela preplašena, kao ovce koje nitko ne prikuplja, svatko æe se vratit' svom narodu, svatko æe u zemlju svoju pobjeæi.

15. All who are found will be killed, and all who are caught unaware will fall by the sword.

15. Koga stignu, probost æe ga: koga uhvate, maèem æe sasjeæi;

16. Their infants will be thrown down violently before their eyes. Their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be violated.

16. pred oèima smrskat æe im dojenèad, opljaèkati kuæe, silovati žene.

17. Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them. They will not seek silver, nor desire gold.

17. Gle, podižem na njih Medijce što ne cijene srebra i preziru zlato.

18. Instead, with their arrows, they will put the little children to death, and they will take no pity on breastfeeding women, and their eye will not spare their children.

18. Svi æe mladiæi biti pokošeni, sve djevojke zatrte. Na plod utrobe neæe se smilovati, nad djecom im se oko neæe sažaliti.

19. And then Babylon, the glorious one among kingdoms, that famous pride of the Chaldeans, will be destroyed, even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

19. Babilon, ures kraljevstava, ures i ponos kaldejski, bit æe k'o Sodoma i Gomora kad ih Bog zatrije.

20. It will not be inhabited, even unto the end, and it will not be reestablished, even from generation to generation. The Arab will not pitch his tents there, nor will the shepherds take rest there.

20. Nikad se više neæe naseliti, od koljena do koljena ostat æe nenapuèen. Arapin ondje neæe dizati šatora, nit' æe pastiri ondje poèivati.

21. Instead, the wild beasts will rest there, and their houses will be filled with serpents, and ostriches will live there, and the hairy ones will leap about there.

21. Poèivat æe ondje zvijeri pustinjske, sove æe im napuniti kuæe, nojevi æe ondje stanovati, jarci plesati.

22. And the tawny owls will answer one another there, in its buildings, and the Sirens in its shrines of pleasure.

22. Hijene æe zavijati iz njegovih palaèa, a èaglji iz raskošnih dvorova... Vrijeme se njegovo bliži, dani mu se neæe produžiti.
