Esias 22
1 THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
Proroštvo o Dolini viđenja: Što ti je da uzlaziš sav na krovove,
2 The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.
grade pun vreve, grade bučni, grade razigrani? Pobijeni tvoji ne padoše od mača, nit' u boju poginuše mrtvi tvoji;
3 All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.
glavari svi ti zajedno pobjegoše, u ropstvo padoše luka ne napevši. Zasužnjeni su svi tvoji knezovi, zalud umakoše daleko.
4 Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
Zato velim: “Ostavite me, zaplakat ću gorko; nemojte me tješiti zbog uništenja naroda moga.”
5 For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
Jer ovo je dan pometnje i rasula od Jahve, Gospoda nad Vojskama. U Dolini viđenja zid se ruši, vapaj za pomoć diže se u goru.
6 And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
Elam tobolac uzima, Aram konja jaše, a Kir štit otkriva.
7 And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
Krasne doline tvoje pune su bojnih kola, konjanici stižu pred vrata.
8 And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
Tako pada Judi zaštita. U onaj dan svrnuo si pogled na oružje u Šumskoj kući.
9 And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
Vidjeste da u gradu Davidovu ima mnogo pukotina. Sabraste vodu iz Donjega ribnjaka.
10 and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
Prebrojiste kuće jeruzalemske, porušiste kuće da zid učvrstite.
11 And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
Između dva zida načiniste spremište za vodu iz starog ribnjaka. Ali se ne obazreste na Tvorca, nit' vidjeste onog što davno sve smisli.
12 And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
Gospod, Jahve nad Vojskama, pozivaše vas u dan onaj da plačete i tugujete, da obrijete glave i pripašete kostrijet.
13 but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
A gle: radost i veselje, ubijaju goveda i kolju ovce; jedu meso i piju vino: “Jedimo i pijmo, jer sutra nam je mrijeti.”
14 And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
Ali Jahve nad Vojskama objavi mi: “Dok ne umrete, grijeh taj neće vam se oprostiti”, reče Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama.
15 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama: “Hajde, idi k onom dvorjaninu, k Šibni, nadstojniku dvora,
16 and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?
koji kleše sebi grob na uzvisini i u stijeni sebi prebivalište usijeca: 'Što tu posjeduješ i koga tu imaš da sebi klešeš grobnicu?'
17 Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
Gle, Jahve će te baciti daleko udarcem jednim jedinim, snažno će te uhvatiti,
18 and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
smotat će te u klupko, kao loptu te baciti po zemlji širokoj! Ondje ti ćeš umrijeti, s kolima što ti bijahu na slavu, ti, sramoto dvoru svoga gospodara!”
19 And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
Lišit ću te tvoje službe, otjerat te sa tvog mjesta;
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
i pozvat ću svoga slugu Elijakima, sina Hilkijina.
21 and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
Obući ću mu tvoju haljinu, tvojim ću ga pojasom opasat', tvoju ću mu vlast predati u ruke te će biti otac žiteljima jeruzalemskim i kući Judinoj.
22 And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
Metnut ću mu na pleća ključ od kuće Davidove: kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti, kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti.
23 And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.
Kao klin zabit ću ga na tvrdu mjestu; i postat će prijesto slave domu oca svojega.
24 And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
O njega će se vješati sva slava njegova doma očinskog, izdanci i potomstvo, sve malo posuđe, od zdjelica do ćupova.
25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
U onaj dan - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - izvući će se klin zabijen na tvrdu mjestu, slomit će se i pasti. I sav teret što je visio na njemu razbit će se, jer je Jahve govorio.
