Isaiah, 65

1. Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, “Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.

1. Potražiše me koji ne pitahu za me, naðoše me koji me ne tražahu; rekoh: "Evo me! Evo me!" narodu koji ne prizivaše ime moje.

2. I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,

2. Svagda sam pružao ruku narodu odmetnièkom, koji hodi putem zlim, za mislima svojim,

3. to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.

3. narodu koji me bez prestanka u lice srdi: žrtvuju po vrtovima, kad prinose na opekama,

4. They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.

4. na grobovima stanuju i noæe na skrovitim mjestima, jedu svinjetinu, meæu u zdjele jela neèista.

5. They say: “Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!” Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.

5. I još govore: "Ukloni se! Ne prilazi mi da te ne posvetim." Oni su mi dim u nosu, oganj što gori povazdan.

6. Behold, it has been written in my sight; I will not be silent. Instead, I will render retribution into their sinews.

6. Evo, sve je napisano preda mnom: neæu ušutjet' dok im ne platim, dok im ne platim u njedra,

7. Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. For they have sacrificed upon the mountains, and they have offended me upon the hills. And so, I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.

7. za bezakonja vaša i vaših otaca, sva zajedno - govori Jahve. Koji su prinosili kad na gorama i pogrðivali me na brežuljcima - izmjerit æu im u krilo plaæu za djela prijašnja.

8. Thus says the Lord: In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster, “Do not destroy it, because it is a blessing,” so will I act for the sake of my servants, so that I may not destroy the whole.

8. Ovako govori Jahve: "Kao što o soku u grozdu vele: 'Ne uništavajte ga, u njemu je blagoslov!' tako æu uèiniti i ja radi slugu svojih, neæu sve uništiti.

9. And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob, and a possessor of my mountains from Judah. And my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall live there.

9. Izvest æu iz Jakova potomstvo, a iz Jude baštinika gora svojih; baštinit æe ih odabranici moji, i moje æe se sluge ondje naseliti.

10. And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks, and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds, for my people who have sought me.

10. Šaron æe postati pašnjak ovcama, a nizina akorska poèivalište govedima - narodu mojem koji mene traži.

11. And you who have forsaken the Lord, who have forgotten my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who offer libations concerning her:

11. A vi koji ste Jahvu ostavili, koji ste zaboravili Svetu goru moju, koji pripremate stol Gadu, koji Meniju naljev lijevate,

12. I will number you with the sword, and you will all fall by slaughter. For I called and you did not respond; I spoke, and you did not listen. And you did what is evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, you have chosen.

12. za maè sam vas odredio - past æete nièice da vas kolju. Jer zvao sam vas, a vi se niste odazvali, govorio sam, a vi niste slušali, nego ste èinili što je zlo u oèima mojim, izabirali ste što mi nije po volji."

13. Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, my servants will eat, and you will be hungry. Behold, my servants will drink, and you will be thirsty.

13. Stog ovako Jahve Gospod govori: "Evo, sluge æe moje jesti, a vi æete gladovati. Evo, sluge æe moje piti, a vi æete žeðati. Evo, sluge æe se moje veseliti, a vi æete se stidjeti.

14. Behold, my servants will rejoice, and you will be confounded. Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart, and you will cry out in sorrow of heart, and you will wail in contrition of spirit.

14. Evo, sluge æe se moje radovati od sreæe u srcu, a vi æete vikati od boli u srcu i kukati duše slomljene!

15. And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse. And the Lord God will put you to death, and he will call his servants by another name.

15. Ime æete svoje ostaviti za kletvu mojim izabranicima: 'Tako te ubio Jahve!' A sluge svoje on æe zvati drugim imenom.

16. By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God. Amen! And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God. Amen! For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion, and they have been hidden from my eyes.

16. Tko se u zemlji bude blagoslivljao, nek' se blagoslivlje Bogom vjernim. I tko se u zemlji bude kleo, nek' se kune Bogom vjernim. Jer prijašnje æe nevolje biti zaboravljene, od oèiju mojih bit æe sakrivene.

17. For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.

17. Jer, evo, ja stvaram nova nebesa i novu zemlju. Prijašnje se više neæe spominjati niti æe vam na um dolaziti.

18. But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy.

18. Veselite se i dovijeka klièite zbog onoga što ja stvaram; jer, evo, od Jeruzalema stvaram klicanje, od naroda njegova radost.

19. And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.

19. I klicat æu nad Jeruzalemom, radovat' se nad svojim narodom. U njemu više neæe èuti ni plaèa ni vapaja.

20. There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.

20. U njemu više neæe biti novoroðenèeta koje živi malo dana ni starca koji ne bi godina svojih navršio: najmlaði æe umrijet' kao stogodišnjak, a tko ne doživi stotinu godina prokletim æe se smatrati.

21. And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits.

21. Gradit æe kuæe i stanovat' u njima, saditi vinograde i uživati rod njihov.

22. They will not build, so that another may inhabit. They will not plant, so that another may eat. For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people. And the works of their hands will be long-standing.

22. Neæe se više graditi da drugi stanuju ni saditi da drugi uživa: vijek naroda moga bit æe k'o vijek drveta, izabranici moji dugo æe uživati plodove ruku svojih.

23. My elect will not labor in vain, and they will not bring forth in disorder. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity are with them.

23. Neæe se zalud muèiti i neæe raðati za smrt preranu, jer æe oni s potomcima svojim biti rod blagoslovljenika Jahvinih.

24. And this shall be: before they call out, I will perceive; while they are still speaking, I will hear.

24. Prije nego me zazovu, ja æu im se odazvat'; još æe govoriti, a ja æu ih veæ uslišiti.

25. The wolf and the lamb will pasture together. The lion and the ox will eat hay. And dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

25. Vuk i jagnje zajedno æe pasti, lav æe jesti slamu k'o govedo; al' æe se zmija prahom hraniti. Nitko neæe èiniti zla ni štete na svoj Svetoj gori mojoj" - govori Jahve.
