Isaiah, 1

1. The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Joatham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

1. Viðenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.

2. Listen, O heavens, and pay attention, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nurtured and raised children, but they have spurned me.

2. Èujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: "Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.

3. An ox knows his owner, and a donkey knows the manger of his lord, but Israel has not known me, and my people have not understood.

3. Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije."

4. Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.

4. Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovaèkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leða.

5. For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.

5. TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;

6. From the sole of the foot, even to the top of the head, there is no soundness within. Wounds and bruises and swelling sores: these are not bandaged, nor treated with medicine, nor soothed with oil.

6. od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, veæ ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni oèišæene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.

7. Your land is desolate. Your cities have been set ablaze. Foreigners devour your countryside in your sight, and it will become desolate, as if devastated by enemies.

7. Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oèi haraju tuðinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.

8. And the daughter of Zion will be left behind, like an arbor in a vineyard, and like a shelter in a cucumber field, and like a city being laid to waste.

8. Kæi sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.

9. If the Lord of hosts had not bequeathed us offspring, we would have been like Sodom, and we would have been comparable to Gomorrah.

9. Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slièni.

10. Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah.

10. Èujte rijeè Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!

11. The multitude of your sacrifices, what is that to me, says the Lord? I am full. I do not desire holocausts of rams, nor the fat of fatlings, nor the blood of calves and of lambs and of he-goats.

11. "Što æe mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?" - govori Jahve. - "Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.

12. When you approach before my sight, who is it that requires these things from your hands, so that you would walk in my courts?

12. Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?

13. You should no longer offer sacrifice vain. Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous.

13. Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlaðaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opaèine.

14. My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them.

14. Mlaðake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!

15. And so, when you extend your hands, I will avert my eyes from you. And when you multiply your prayers, I will not heed you. For your hands are full of blood.

15. Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oèi odvraæam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,

16. Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.

16. operite se, oèistite. Uklonite mi s oèiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo èiniti!

17. Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow.

17. Uèite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoæ, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite."

18. And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool.

18. "Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo," govori Jahve. "Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet æe poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat æe kao vuna.

19. If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.

19. Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat æete plodove zemaljske.

20. But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

20. U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet æe vas maè." Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.

21. How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.

21. Kako li posta bludnicom tvrða vjerna? Bješe puna praviènosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.

22. Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.

22. Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.

23. Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought before them.

23. Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraæuju, udovièka parnica ne stiže k njima.

24. Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.

24. Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: "Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!

25. And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin.

25. Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku oèistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!

26. And I will restore your judges, so that they will be as before, and your counselors as in times long past. After this, you shall be called the City of the Just, the Faithful City.

26. Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u poèetku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrðom vjernosti."

27. Zion will be redeemed in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice.

27. Sud pravedni otkupit æe Sion, a pravda obraæenike njegove.

28. And he shall crush the accursed and sinners together. And those who have abandoned the Lord will be consumed.

28. Otpadnici i grešnici skršit æe se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut æe.

29. For they shall be confounded because of the idols, to which they have sacrificed. And you shall be ashamed over the gardens that you chose,

29. Da, stidjet æete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet æete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.

30. when you were like an oak with falling leaves, and like a garden without water.

30. Jer, bit æete poput hrasta osušena lišæa i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.

31. And your strength will be like the embers from stubble, and your work will be like a spark, and both will burn together, and there will be no one to extinguish it.

31. Junak æe biti kuèina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno æe izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
