Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that layest waste, and thou [wast] not laid waste; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to lay waste, thou shalt be wasted; [and] when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
Teško tebi, koji pustošiš a tebe ne pustoše, i koji èiniš nevjeru a tebi se ne èini nevjera; kad prestaneš pustošiti, biæeš opustošen, kad prestaneš èiniti nevjeru, èiniæe ti se nevjera.
2 O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Gospode, smiluj se na nas, tebe èekamo; budi im mišica svako jutro, i spasenje naše u nevolji.
3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
Narodi pobjegoše od jake vike, rasijaše se narodi što se ti podiže.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
I pokupiæe se plijen vaš kao što se kupe gusjenice, skoèiæe na nj kao što skaèu skakavci.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Uzvišen je Gospod, jer nastava na visini; napuniæe Sion suda i pravde.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.
I tvrða vremena tvojega, sila spasenja tvojega biæe mudrost i znanje; strah Gospodnji biæe blago tvoje.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the embassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
Eto, junaci njihovi vièu na polju, i poslanici mirni plaèu gorko:
8 The highways lie waste, the way-faring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
Putovi opustješe, putnici ne putuju; pokvari ugovor, odbaci gradove, ne mari za èovjeka.
9 The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits].
Zemlja tuži i èezne, Livan se stidi i vene, Saron je kao pustinja, Vasan i Karmil ogolješe.
10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
Sada æu ustati, veli Gospod, sada æu se uzvisiti, sada æu se podignuti.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.
Zatrudnjeæete slamom, rodiæete strnjiku; gnjev vaš proždrijeæe vas kao oganj.
12 And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
I narodi æe biti kao peæi kreène, izgorjeæe ognjem kao trnje posjeèeno.
13 Ye [that are] far off, hear what I have done; and ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might.
Slušajte koji ste daleko što sam uèinio, i koji ste blizu poznajte moæ moju.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Grješnici u Sionu uplašiæe se, drhat æe spopasti licemjere, i reæi æe: ko æe nas ostati kod ognja koji proždire? ko æe nas ostati kod vjeène žege?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Ko hodi u pravdi i govori što je pravo; ko mrzi na dobitak od nasilja; ko otresa ruke svoje da ne primi poklona; ko zatiskuje uši svoje da ne èuje za krv, i zažima oèi svoje da ne vidi zla;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.
On æe nastavati na visokim mjestima; gradovi na stijenama biæe mu utoèište, hljeb æe mu se davati, vode mu se neæe premicati.
17 Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Oèi æe ti vidjeti cara u krasoti njegovoj, gledaæe zemlju daleku.
18 Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?
Srce æe tvoje misliti o strahu govoreæi: gdje je pisar? gdje brojaè? gdje je onaj što pregleda kule?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand.
Neæeš vidjeti žestoka naroda, naroda koji govori iz dubina da se ne razbira, u koga je jezik mutav da se ne razumije.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken.
Pogledaj na Sion, grad praznika naših; oèi tvoje neka vide Jerusalim, mirni stan, šator, koji se neæe odnijeti, kojemu se kolje neæe nigda pomjeriti, i nijedno mu se uže neæe otkinuti.
21 But there the glorious LORD [will be] to us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it.
Nego æe nam ondje Gospod veliki biti mjesto rijeka i potoka širokih, po kojima neæe iæi laða s veslima, niti æe velika laða prolaziti onuda.
22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.
Jer je Gospod naš sudija, Gospod je koji nam postavlja zakone, Gospod je car naš, on æe nas spasti.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Oslabiše tvoja uža, ne mogu tvrdo držati katarke svoje ni razapeti jedra; tada æe se razdijeliti velik plijen, hromi æe razgrabiti plijen.
24 And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
I niko od stanovnika neæe reæi: bolestan sam. Narodu koji živi u njemu oprostiæe se bezakonje.
