Esias 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without wine.
Teško gizdavu vijencu pijanica Efrajimovih, uvelu cvijetu blistava mu nakita - onima što uvrh plodnog dola leže vinom opijeni!
2 Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.
Evo, od Gospoda jaki i moćni, kao pljusak s tučom, kao vihor razorni, prolom oblaka i povodanj, i svom ih snagom na zemlju baca.
3 The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.
Bit će izgažen nogama gizdav vijenac pijanica Efrajimovih
4 And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.
i uveo cvijet blistava mu nakita uvrh plodnih dolina; bit će kao rana smokva prije ljeta: čim je tko spazi, odmah je ubere.
5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven [crown] of glory, to the remnant of the people.
U onaj dan Jahve nad Vojskama postat će kruna slave i sjajan vijenac Ostatku svoga naroda -
6 They shall be left in the spirit of judgement for judgement, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.
duh pravde onome koji sjedi na stolici sudačkoj i srčanost onome koji odbija napad na vrata.
7 For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is [their] vision.
Oni posrću od vina, teturaju od žestoka pića: svećenici i proroci od žestoka pića posrću; omami ih vino; teturaju od žestoka pića, posrću u viđenjima, ljuljaju se sudeći.
8 A curse shall devour this counsel, for this [is their] counsel for the sake of covetousness.
Svi su stolovi puni gnusnih bljuvotina, nigdje čista mjesta nema!
9 To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? [even to those] that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast.
“Koga on to uči mudrosti, koga on upućuje u objavu? Zar djecu odviknutu od mlijeka odbijenu od prsiju?
10 Expect you affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, [and] yet a little,
Sav la-sav, sav la-sav, kav la-kav, kav la-kav, zeer šam, zeer šam.”
11 by reason of the contemptuous [words] of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them,
Da, mucavim usnama i na stranom jeziku govorit će se ovom narodu.
12 This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but they would not hear.
On im reče: “Evo počinka, dajte umornom da otpočine! Evo odmora!” Ali ne htjedoše poslušati.
13 Therefore the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, [and] yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.
Zato će im Jahve ovako govoriti: “Sav la-sav, sav la-sav, kav la-kav, kav la-kav, zeer šam, zeer šam”, da hodeći padnu nauznak, da se razbiju, zapletu i uhvate.
14 Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, you afflicted men, and you princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.
Stoga čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi podsmjevači, vi što vladate narodom ovim koji je u Jeruzalemu.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected: (Sheol h7585)
Vi velite: “Sklopismo savez sa smrću i s Podzemljem učinismo sporazum. Kad prođe bič razorni, ne, neće nas dohvatiti, jer od laži načinismo sebi sklonište i od obmane skrovište.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed.
Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: “Evo, postavljam na Sion kamen odabrani, dragocjen kamen ugaoni, temeljac. Onaj koji u nj vjeruje neće propasti.
17 And I will cause judgement [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and you that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,
I uzet ću pravo za mjeru, a pravdu za tezulju.” I tuča će vam zastrti sklonište od laži, a voda otplaviti skrovište;
18 except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, you shall be beaten down by it. (Sheol h7585)
propast će savez vaš sa smrću, vaš sporazum s Podzemljem održat' se neće. Kada bič razorni prođe, satrt će vas; (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,
kad god prođe, dohvatit će vas; prolazit će svako jutro, danju i noću. Samo će vas strah uputit u objavu.
20 you that are distressed; we can’t fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.
Prekratka će bit' postelja da se čovjek pruži, preuzak pokrivač da se umota.
21 The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.
Da, kao na gori Perasimu, Jahve će ustati, kao u Dolini gibeonskoj, on će se razjariti, da izvrši djelo svoje, djelo čudnovato, da ispuni naum svoj, naum tajnoviti.
22 Therefore do not you rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.
Podsmijevanja se okanite, da vas jače okovi ne stegnu; jer čuh da je od Gospoda, Jahve nad Vojskama, zemlji ovoj dosuđeno uništenje.
23 Listen, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words.
Poslušajte i čujte glas moj, prisluhnite pomno moju besjedu.
24 Will the ploughman plough all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?
Ore li orač svakog dana, brazdi, brana njivu svoju?
25 Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in your borders?
A kad joj poravna površinu, ne sije li grahor, ne sipa li kumin? Pšenicu gdje treba, proso i ječam, i napokon raž po rubovima?
26 So you shall be chastened by the judgement of your God, and shall rejoice.
Bog ga njegov upućuje, on ga uči djelu pravom.
27 For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;
Ne mlati se grahor cijepom, nećeš točkom po kuminu, već se grahor štapom mlati, a kumin se prutom lupa.
28 for I will not be angry with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.
A da li se žito tare? Ne, nećeš ga dovijeka mlatiti: po njem ćeš pognat kolski točak i konje, ali ga zdrobiti nećeš.
29 And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort.
I to dolazi od Jahve nad Vojskama, savjetom divnog, mudrošću velikog.
