Isaiah, 30

1. “Woe to the sons of apostasy!” says the Lord. For you would take advice, but not from me. And you would begin to weave, but not by my spirit. Thus do you add sin upon sin!

1. Teško sinovima odmetnièkim! - rijeè je Jahvina. Oni provode osnove koje nisu moje, sklapaju saveze koji nisu po mom duhu i grijeh na grijeh gomilaju.

2. You are walking so as to descend into Egypt, and you have not sought answers from my mouth, instead hoping for assistance from the strength of Pharaoh and placing trust in the shadow of Egypt.

2. Zaputiše se u Egipat, ne pitajuæi usta moja, da se uteku faraonovu zaklonu i da se zaštite u sjeni Egipta.

3. And so, the strength of Pharaoh will be your confusion, and trust in the shadow of Egypt will be your disgrace.

3. Zaklon faraonov bit æe na sramotu, i na ruglo zaštita u sjeni Egipta.

4. For your leaders were at Tanis, and your messengers have traveled even as far as Hanes.

4. Eno mu knezova veæ u Soanu, podanici stigoše u Hanes:

5. They have all been confounded because of a people who were not able to offer profit to them, who were not of assistance, nor of other usefulness, except to offer confusion and reproach.

5. svi æe se oni razoèarati u narodu beskorisnom, neæe im biti na pomoæ ni na korist, veæ na sramotu i porugu.

6. The burden of the beasts in the south. In a land of tribulation and anguish, from which go forth the lioness and the lion, the viper and the flying king snake, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts of burden, and their valuables upon the humps of camels, to a people who are not able to offer profit to them.

6. Proroštvo o negepskim životinjama. Kroza zemlju nevolje i bijede, lavice i lava koji rièu, ljutice i zmaja krilatog, nose oni blago na leðima magaraca i bogatstvo na grbi deva, nose ga narodu beskorisnom.

7. For Egypt will offer assistance, but without purpose or success. Therefore, concerning this, I cried out: “It is only arrogance! Remain calm.”

7. Jer prazna je i ništavna pomoæ Egipta, zato ga i zovemo: Rahab - danguba.

8. Now, therefore, enter and write for them upon a tablet, and note it diligently in a book, and this shall be a testimony in the last days, and even unto eternity.

8. Ded napiši na ploèu i zapiši u knjigu da vremenima buduæim svjedoèanstvo ostane.

9. For they are a people who provoke to wrath, and they are lying sons, sons unwilling to listen to the law of God.

9. Ovo je narod odmetnièki, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neæe da slušaju Zakon Jahvin.

10. They say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to those who behold: “Do not behold for us the things that are right. Speak to us of pleasing things. See errors for us.

10. Vidovitima oni govore: "Okanite se viðenja!" a vidiocima: "Ne prorokujte istinu! Govorite nam što je ugodno, opsjene nam prorokujte!

11. Take me from the way. Avert me from the path. Let the Holy One of Israel cease from before our face.”

11. Skrenite s puta, zastranite sa staze, uklonite nam s oèiju Sveca Izraelova!"

12. Because of this, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Since you have rejected this word, and you have hoped in calumny and rebellion, and since you have depended upon these things,

12. Stog' ovako zbori Svetac Izraelov: "Jer rijeè ovu odbacujete, a uzdate se u opaèinu i prijevaru i na njih se oslanjate,

13. for this reason, this iniquity will be to you like a breach that has fallen, and like a gap in a high wall. For its destruction will happen suddenly, when it is not expected.

13. grijeh æe vam taj biti poput pukotine, visoko na zidu izboèene, koja prijeti rušenjem.

14. And it will be crushed, just as the earthen vessel of a potter is destroyed by a sharp blow. And not even a fragment of its earthenware will be found, which might carry a little fire from the hearth, or which might draw a little water from a hollow.

14. Da se sruši k'o što se glinen sud razbije, slupan nemilice, te mu se meðu krhotinama ne naðe ni rbine, žerave da uzmeš s ognjišta il' zagrabiš vode iz studenca."

15. For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: If you return and are quiet, you shall be saved. Your strength will be found in silence and in hope. But you are not willing!

15. Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod, Svetac Izraelov: "Mir i obraæenje - spas vam je, u smirenu uzdanju snaga je vaša. Ali vi ne htjedoste.

16. And you have said: “Never! Instead, we will flee by horseback.” For this reason, you will be put to flight. And you have said, “We will climb upon swift ones.” For this reason, those who pursue you will be even swifter.

16. Rekoste: 'Ne! Pobjeæi æemo na konjima!' - i zato, bježat æete! 'Na brzim æemo konjima jahati!' - i zato, bit æe brži vaši neprijatelji!"

17. A thousand men will flee in terror from the face of one, and you will flee in terror from the face of five, until you who have been left behind are like the mast of a ship at the top of a mountain, or like a sign on a hill.

17. Pobjeæi æe vas tisuæa kad jedan zaprijeti, zaprijete li petorica, u bijeg æete nagnut' dok vas ne preostane k'o kopljaèa na vrhu gore il' na brijegu zastava.

18. Therefore, the Lord waits, so that he may take pity on you. And therefore, he will be exalted for sparing you. For the Lord is the God of judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

18. Al' Jahve èeka èas da vam se smiluje, i stog izglÄedÄa da vam milost iskaže, jer Jahve je Bog pravedan - blago svima koji njega èekaju.

19. For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you.

19. Da, puèe sionski koji živiš u Jeruzalemu, više ne plaèi! Èim zaèuje vapaj tvoj, odmah æe ti se smilovati; èim te èuje, uslišit æe te.

20. And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor.

20. Hranit æe vas Gospod kruhom tjeskobe, pojiti vodom nevolje, al' se više neæe kriti tvoj Uèitelj - oèi æe ti gledati Uèitelja tvoga.

21. And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”

21. I uši æe tvoje èuti rijeè gdje iza tebe govori: "To je put, njime idite", bilo da vam je krenuti nadesno ili nalijevo.

22. And you will defile the plates of your silver graven images and the vestment of your gold molten idols. And you will throw these things away like the uncleanness of a menstruating woman. You will say to it, “Go away!”

22. Smatrat æeš neèistima svoje srebrne kumire i pozlatu svojih kipova; odbacit æeš ih kao neèist i reæi im: "Napolje!"

23. And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession.

23. A on æe dati kišu tvojem sjemenu što ga posiješ u zemlju, i kruh kojim zemlja urodi bit æe obilat i hranjiv. Stoka æe tvoja pasti u onaj dan po prostranim pašnjacima.

24. And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor.

24. Volovi i magarci što obraðuju zemlju jest æe osoljenu krmu, ovijanu lopatom i vijaèom.

25. And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall.

25. I na svakoj gori i na svakome povišenom brijegu bit æe potoka i rjeèica - u dan silnoga pokolja kad se kule budu rušile.

26. And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.

26. Tada æe svjetlost mjeseèeva biti kao svjetlost sunèana, a svjetlost æe sunèana postati sedam puta jaèa, kao svjetlost sedam dana - u dan kad Jahve iscijeli prijelom svojemu narodu, izlijeèi rane svojih udaraca.

27. Behold, the name of the Lord arrives from far away. His fury is burning and heavy to bear. His lips have been filled with indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.

27. Gle, ime Jahve izdaleka dolazi, gnjev njegov gori, dim je neizdrživ. Usne su mu pune jarosti, jezik mu oganj što proždire.

28. His Spirit is like a torrent, inundating, even as high as the middle of the neck, in order to reduce the nations to nothing, along with the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.

28. Dah mu je kao potok nabujali što do grla seže. On dolazi da prosije narode rešetom zatornim, da stavi uzde zavodljive u èeljusti naroda.

29. There will be a song for you, as in the night of a sanctified solemnity, and a joy of heart, as when one travels with music to arrive at the mountain of the Lord, to the Strong One of Israel.

29. Tad æe vam pjesma biti kao u noæima blagdanskim, kad su srca vesela kao u onoga koji uza zvuke frule hodoèasti na Goru Jahvinu, k Stijeni Izraelovoj.

30. And the Lord will cause the glory of his voice to be heard, and, with a threatening fury and a devouring flame of fire, he will reveal the terror of his arm. He will crush with the whirlwind and with hailstones.

30. Jahve æe zagrmjet glasom velièajnim i pokazat ruku svoju što udara u jarosnu gnjevu, sred ognja zatornog, iz olujna pljuska i krupÄe kamene.

31. For at the voice of the Lord, Assur will dread being struck with the staff.

31. Od glasa Jahvina prepast æe se Asur, šibom ošinut.

32. And when the passage of the staff has been begun, the Lord will cause it to rest upon him, with timbrels and harps. And with special battles, he will fight against them.

32. I kad god ga udari šiba kaznena, kojom æe ga Jahve išibati, nek' se oglase bubnjevi i citare - u sav jek boja on s njima ratuje!

33. For a burning place, deep and wide, has been prepared from yesterday, prepared by the King. Its nourishment is fire and much wood. The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, kindles it.

33. Odavna je pripravljen Tofet za Moleka - lomaèa visoka, široka, mnogo ognja, mnogo drvlja. Dah gnjeva Jahvina, kao potok sumporni, njega æe spaliti.
