Esias 33
1 Woe to them that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable: and he that deals perfidiously with you does not deal perfidiously: they that deal perfidiously shall be taken and given up, and as a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.
Teško tebi koji nepustošen pustošiš, koji pljačkaš nepljačkan, kad prestaneš, tebe će opustošiti, opljačkat' te kad prestaneš pljačkati.
2 Lord, have mercy upon us; for we have trusted in you: the seed of the rebellious is gone to destruction, but our deliverance was in a time of affliction.
Jahve, smiluj nam se, u te se uzdamo! Budi mišica naša svako jutro, naš spas u doba nevolje.
3 By reason of the terrible sound the nations were dismayed for fear of you, and the heathen were scattered.
Od silna tutnja pobjegoše narodi, ti ustade, raspršiše se puci
4 And now shall the spoils of your small and great be gathered: as if one should gather locusts, so shall they mock you.
i plijen se skuplja kao što se kupe šaške, na nj će navaliti kao jato skakavaca.
5 The God who dwells on high is holy: Sion is filled with judgement and righteousness.
Uzvišen je Jahve jer u visini stoluje, on puni Sion pravom i pravednošću.
6 They shall be delivered up to the law: our salvation is our treasure: there are wisdom and knowledge and piety towards the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness.
Pouzdan je tvoj vijek: mudrost i znanje spasonosno su blago - a strah Gospodnji njegovo bogatstvo.
7 Behold now, these shall be terrified with fear of you: those whom you feared shall cry out because of you: messengers shall be sent, bitterly weeping, entreating for peace.
Gle, stanovništvo Arielovo kuka po ulicama, glasnici mironosni plaču gorko.
8 For the ways of these shall be made desolate: the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and you shall by no means deem them men.
Opustješe ceste, s putova nesta putnika; raskidaju se savezi, preziru se svjedoci, ni prema kome nema obzira.
9 The land mourns; Libanus is ashamed: Saron is become marshes; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Chermel.
Gine zemlja u žalosti, u stidu vene Libanon. Šaron je kao stepa, Bašan i Karmel ogolješe.
10 Now will I arise, says the Lord, now will I be glorified; now will I be exalted.
“Sada ću ustati”, veli Jahve, “sada ću se dići, sada uzvisiti.
11 Now shall you see, now shall you perceive; the strength of your breath, shall be vain; fire shall devour you.
Začeste sijeno, rodit ćete slamu; dah moj proždrijet će vas kao oganj.
12 And the nations shall be burnt up; as a thorn in the field cast out and burnt up.
Narodi će biti sažgani u vapno, kao posječeno trnje što gori u vatri.
13 They that are afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw near shall know my strength.
Čujte, vi koji ste daleko, što sam učinio, a vi koji ste blizu poznajte mi snagu!”
14 The sinners in Sion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?
Na Sionu strepe grešnici, trepet spopada bezbožnika: “Tko će od nas opstati pred ognjem zatornim, tko će od nas opstati pred žarom vječnim?”
15 He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgement of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice.
Onaj koji hodi u pravdi i pravo govori, koji prezire dobit od prinude, koji otresa ruku da ne primi mito, koji zatiskuje uši da ne čuje o krvoproliću, koji zatvara oči da ne vidi zlo:
16 he shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock: bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure.
on će prebivati u visinama, tvrđe na stijenama bit će mu utočište, imat će dosta kruha i vode će mu svagda dotjecati.
17 You shall see a king with glory: your eyes shall behold a land from afar.
Oči će ti gledati kralja u njegovoj ljepoti, promatrat će zemlju nepreglednu.
18 Your soul shall meditate terror. Where are the scribes? where are the counsellors, where is he that numbers them that are growing up,
Srce će ti u strahu misliti: Gdje li je onaj što je brojio, gdje li onaj što je mjerio, gdje li onaj što je prebrajao mladiće?
19 [even] the small and great people? with whom he took not counsel, neither did he understand [a people] of deep speech, so that a despised people should not hear, and there is no understanding to him that hears.
Nećeš više vidjeti divljega naroda, naroda nerazumljiva i neshvatljiva govora, jezika strana što ga nitko ne razumije.
20 Behold the city of Sion, our refuge: your eyes shall behold Jerusalem, a rich city, tabernacles which shall not be shaken, neither shall the pins of her tabernacle be moved for ever, neither shall her cords be at all broken:
Pogledaj na Sion, grad blagdana naših: oči će ti Jeruzalem vidjeti, prebivalište zaštićeno, šator što se ne prenosi, kojem se kolčići nikad ne vade, nit' mu se ijedno uže otkida.
21 for the name of the Lord is great to you: you shall have a place, [even] rivers and wide and spacious channels: you shall not go this way, neither a vessel with oars go [thereby].
Ondje nam je Jahve silni, umjesto rijeka i širokih rukavaca: neće onud proći nijedna lađa s veslima niti će koji bojni brod projedriti.
22 For my God is great: the Lord our judge shall not pass me by: the Lord is our prince, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us.
Jer Jahve je sudac naš, Jahve naš vojvoda, Jahve je kralj naš - on će nas spasiti.
23 Your cords are broken, for they had no strength: your meat has given way, it shall not spread the sails, it shall not bear a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame men take spoil.
Užad ti je popustila, ne može držati jarbola ni razviti stijega, pa se dijeli golemo blago oteto - kljasti će se naplijeniti plijena!
24 And the people dwelling amongst them shall by no means say, I am in pain: for their sin shall be forgiven them.
I nijedan građanin neće reći: “Bolestan sam!” Narodu što živi ondje krivnja će se oprostiti.
