Esias 13
1 THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
Proroštvo o Babilonu koje vidje Izaija, sin Amosov.
2 Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], ye rulers.
Na goletnu brdu dignite zastavu, vičite im iz sveg grla. Mašite rukom neka dođu na vrata kneževska.
3 I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
Zapovijed dadoh svetim svojim ratnicima, gnjevu svom pozvah svoje junake koji slave veličanstvo moje.
4 A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a war-like nation,
Čuj! Žagor na gorama kao od silna naroda. Čuj! Buka kraljevstava, sakupljenih naroda. To Jahve nad Vojskama za boj vojsku pregleda.
5 to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
Iz daleka kraja, s granica neba dolaze oni - Jahve i oruđa gnjeva njegova - da svu zemlju poharaju.
6 Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
Kukajte, jer je blizu Jahvin dan, k'o pohara dolazi od Svemoćnog.
7 Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
I sve ruke stog' malakšu ... Svako ljudsko srce klone,
8 The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
strava ih je obrvala, trudovi boli već ih spopadaju i grče se k'o rodilja. U prepasti jedan drugog motre, lica su im poput plamena.
9 For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which cannot be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
Dolazi nesmiljeni Jahvin dan - gnjev i jarost - da u pustoš zemlju prometne, da istrijebi iz nje grešnike.
10 For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
Jer nebeske zvijezde a ni Štapci neće više sjati svjetlošću, pomrčat će sunce ishodeći i mjesec neće više svijetliti.
11 And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
Kaznit ću svijet za zloću, bezbožnike za bezakonje, dokrajčit ću ponos oholih, poniziti nadutost silnika.
12 And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
Rjeđi će biti čovjek neg' žeženo zlato, rjeđi samrtnik od zlata ofirskog.
13 For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
Nebesa ću potresti, maknut će se zemlja s mjesta od srdžbe Jahve nad Vojskama u dan kad se izlije gnjev njegov.
14 And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
I tada, kao gazela preplašena, kao ovce koje nitko ne prikuplja, svatko će se vratit' svom narodu, svatko će u zemlju svoju pobjeći.
15 For whosoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
Koga stignu, probost će ga: koga uhvate, mačem će sasjeći;
16 And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
pred očima smrskat će im dojenčad, opljačkati kuće, silovati žene.
17 Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
Gle, podižem na njih Medijce što ne cijene srebra i preziru zlato.
18 They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare thy children.
Svi će mladići biti pokošeni, sve djevojke zatrte. Na plod utrobe neće se smilovati, nad djecom im se oko neće sažaliti.
19 And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
Babilon, ures kraljevstava, ures i ponos kaldejski, bit će k'o Sodoma i Gomora kad ih Bog zatrije.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
Nikad se više neće naseliti, od koljena do koljena ostat će nenapučen. Arapin ondje neće dizati šatora, nit' će pastiri ondje počivati.
21 But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not tarry.
Počivat će ondje zvijeri pustinjske, sove će im napuniti kuće, nojevi će ondje stanovati, jarci plesati.
Hijene će zavijati iz njegovih palača, a čaglji iz raskošnih dvorova... Vrijeme se njegovo bliži, dani mu se neće produžiti.
