Izaija 1
1 Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: “Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD has spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.”
The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel does not know, my people does not consider.
4 Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
5 TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;
Why should you be stricken any more? you will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.
Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrah.
10 Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!
Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11 “Što će mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?” - govori Jahve. - “Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? says the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?
When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear them.
15 Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,
And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.”
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 “Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo,” govori Jahve. “Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet će poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat će kao vuna.
Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.
If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
20 U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.” Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.
But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
21 Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.
Your silver is become dross, your wine mixed with water:
23 Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.
Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loves gifts, and follows after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: “Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!
Therefore says the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
25 Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!
And I will turn my hand on you, and purely purge away your dross, and take away all your tin:
26 Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.”
And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning: afterward you shall be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29 Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.
For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
And the strong shall be as wick, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
