Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing, I pray you, for a well-beloved of mine, The song of my beloved concerning his vineyard: —A vineyard, had my well-beloved on a very fruitful hill;
Zapjevat ću svojemu dragome, pjesmu svog ljubljenog njegovu vinogradu. Moj je dragi imao vinograd na brežuljku rodnome.
2 And he thoroughly digged it, And gathered out the stones thereof, And planted it with a precious vine, And built a tower in the midst thereof, Moreover also a wine-press, hewed he therein, —Then waited he that it should bring forth grapes. And it brought forth wild grapes:
Okopa ga, iskrči kamenje, posadi ga lozom plemenitom. Posred njega kulu on podiže i u nj tijesak metnu. Nadaše se da će uroditi grožđem, a on izrodi vinjagu.
3 Now, therefore, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, And men of Judah, —Judge, I pray you, betwixt me, and my vineyard: —
Sad, žitelji jeruzalemski i ljudi Judejci, presudite izmeđ' mene i vinograda mojega.
4 What could have been done further to my vineyard, That I had not done in it? Why then—When I had waited that it should bring forth grapes, Brought it forth, wild grapes?
Što još mogoh učiniti za svoj vinograd a da nisam učinio? Nadah se da će uroditi grožđem, zašto vinjagu izrodi?
5 Now, therefore, I pray you, let me tell, you, what I am about to do to my vineyard, —To take away the fence thereof And it shall be eaten up, To destroy the wall thereof And it shall be trodden down;
No sad ću vam reći što ću učiniti od svog vinograda: plot ću mu soriti da ga opustoše, zidinu razvaliti da ga izgaze.
6 And I will make it a waste; —It shall be neither pruned nor hoed, But there shall come up briars and thorns, —And upon the clouds, will I lay a charge, That they rain thereon no rain.
U pustoš ću ga obratiti, ni obrezana ni okopana, nek' u drač i trnje sav zaraste; zabranit ću oblacima da dažde nad njime.
7 Surely the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts, is the house of Israel, And, the men of Judah, are the plantation in which he dearly delighted, —And he waited, For equity but lo! murderous iniquity, For the rule of right but lo the cry of the wronged.
Vinograd Jahve nad Vojskama dom je Izraelov; izabrani nasad njegov ljudi Judejci. Nadao se pravdi, a eto nepravde, nadao se pravičnosti, a eto vapaja.
8 Alas for them who join house to house, Field to field, bring they near, —Until there is no room, But ye are left to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
Jao vama koji kuću kući primičete i polje s poljem sastavljate, dok sve mjesto ne zauzmete te postanete jedini u zemlji.
9 In mine ears, [said] Yahweh of hosts, —Verily, houses in abundance, shall become, a desolation, Large and fair, without inhabitant;
Na uši moje reče Jahve nad Vojskama: “Doista, mnoge će kuće opustjeti, velike i lijepe, bit će bez žitelja.
10 For, ten yokes of vineyard, shall yield one bath, —And the seed of a homer, shall yield an ephah,
Deset rali vinograda dat će samo bačvicu, mjera sjemena dat će samo mjericu.”
11 Alas, for them who rise early in the morning that strong drink, they may pursue, —Who follow on in the evening cool [until] with wine, they are heated;
Jao onima što već jutrom na uranku žestokim se pićem zalijevaju i kasno noću sjede vinom raspaljeni.
12 And it cometh to pass—that lyre and harp, timbrel and flute and wine are in their banquets, —But, the doing of Yahweh, they do not discern, And the work of his hands, have they not seen.
Na gozbama im harfe i citare, bubnjevi i frule uz vino, a za djelo Jahvino ne mare, ne gledaju djelo ruku njegovih.
13 Therefore, are my people taken away captive before they know it, —And their honourable men are famished with hunger, And, their multitude, do gape for thirst.
Stoga će u ropstvo narod moj odvesti, jer nema razumnosti, odličnici njegovi od gladi će umirati, puk njegov od žeđi će gorjeti.
14 Therefore, hath hades enlarged her desire, And opened her mouth to its widest, —And their glory, and their multitude and their pomp. and he that is uproarious shall descend thereinto. (Sheol h7585)
Da, Podzemlje će razvaliti ždrijelo, razjapit će ralje neizmjerne da se u njih strmoglave odličnici mu i mnoštvo sa svom grajom i veseljem! (Sheol h7585)
15 And the mean man hath been bowed down And the mighty man hath been humbled, —Yea the looks of the haughty shall be humbled.
Smrtnik će nikom poniknuti, ponizit' se čovjek, oborit će se pogled silnih.
16 But Yahweh of hosts, hath been exalted, in justice, —And the GOD that is holy hath been hallowed in righteousness;
Jahve nad Vojskama uzvisit će se sudom, i Bog će sveti otkrit' svetost svoju.
17 Then shall the young rams feed where they please, —And, the wastes of the wealthy, shall strangers consume.
Jaganjci će pasti kao na pašnjacima, a jarci će brstiti po ruševinama bogataškim.
18 Alas! for them Who draw on themselves punishment with cords of falsehood, —And as with waggon-bands, penalty:
Jao onima koji na se krivnju vuku volovskom užadi i grijeh kolskim konopcem -
19 Who say—Let his work quicken—let it hasten, That we may see, —And let the purpose of Israel’s Holy One, draw near and come. That we may know!
onima što govore: “Neka pohiti, neka poteče s djelom svojim da bismo ga vidjeli, neka se približi i završi naum Sveca Izraelova da bismo znali!”
20 Alas! for them Who call evil good and good evil, —Who put darkness for light and light for darkness, Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Jao onima koji zlo dobrom nazivaju, a dobro zlom, koji od tame svjetlost prave, a od svjetlosti tamu, koji gorko slatkim čine, a slatko gorkim!
21 Alas for them Who are wise in their own eyes, —And in their own sight, are prudent.
Jao onima koji su mudri u svojim očima i pametni sami pred sobom!
22 Alas for them Who are heroes to drink wine, —And men of valour to mingle strong drink,
Jao onima koji su jaki u vinu i junaci u miješanju jakih pića;
23 Who justify the lawless, for a bribe, —Whereas the righteousness of the righteous, they take from him.
onima koji za mito brane krivca, a pravedniku uskraćuju pravdu!
24 Therefore, As a tongue of fire, eateth up straw, And a flame reduceth, dry grass, to powder, Their root, like rottenness, shall become, And their blossom, like dust shall ascend, —Because they refused the law of Yahweh of hosts, And the utterance of the Holy One of Israel, they despised.
Zato, kao što plameni jezici proždiru slamu i kao što nestaje suha trava u plamenu, tako će korijen njihov istrunuti, poput praha razletjet' se pupoljak njihov, jer odbaciše Zakon Jahve nad Vojskama i prezreše riječ Sveca Izraelova.
25 For this cause, did the anger of Yahweh kindle upon his own people, And he stretched out his hand against them and smote them—So that the mountains, trembled, And, their dead bodies, served, for fuel in the midst of the streets. For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched,
Zato se raspali gnjev Jahvin protiv njegova naroda, i on diže ruku na nj i udari ga te se potresoše gore: trupla njihova leže k'o smeće po ulicama, ali gnjev se njegov još ne smiri, ruka mu je sveđer podignuta.
26 Therefore will he lift up an ensign to the nations afar off, And signal for him from the end of the earth, —And lo! with hot haste, will he come:
On podiže stijeg ratni narodu dalekom, zazviždi mu na kraj zemlje, i gle: brzo, spremno hita.
27 None shall be weary, and none shall stumble in his midst, He shall neither slumber nor sleep, —Nor shall be loosened, the girdle of his loins, Nor snapped, the thong of his sandals:
U njemu nema trudna ni sustala, ni dremljiva niti snena, oko boka pojas ne otpasuje, na obući ne driješi remena.
28 Whose arrows, are sharpened, and all his bows, bent, —The hoofs of his horses, like flint, are accounted, And, his wheels, [are] like a storm-wind:
Strijele su mu dobro zašiljene, lukovi mu svi zapeti, kremen su kopita konja njegovih, vihor su točkovi bojnih mu kola.
29 A roar, hath he, like a lioness, —He will roar like wild lions—And will growl, and lay hold on prey, and carry into safety, and there be none to deliver.
Rika mu je k'o u lava i riče k'o lavovi mladi, reži, grabi plijen i odnosi, a nikoga da mu ga istrgne.
30 Yea he will growl at him in that day, like the growling of the sea, —Though he look hard for the land, lo! the darkness of distress, Yea the light, hath grown dark in its clouds!
U dan onaj režat će na njega k'o što more buči. Pogledaš li zemlju - sve tmina, tjeskoba, svjetlost proguta tmina oblačna.
