Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
Teško Arilu, Arilu, gradu gdje je stajao David. Dodajte godinu na godinu, neka kolju žrtve prazniène.
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
Ali æu pritijesniti Arila, i biæe žalost i tuga, jer æe mi biti kao Aril.
3 I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
Jer æu te opkoliti vojskom, i stegnuæu te opkopima i podignuæu suprot tebi kule.
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
Te æeš oboren govoriti sa zemlje i iz praha æeš mucati, i glas æe ti biti sa zemlje kao u bajaèa i iz praha æeš šapæuæi govoriti.
5 But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
A mnoštvo neprijatelja tvojih biæe kao sitan prah i mnoštvo nasilnika kao pljeva kad se razmeæe; i to æe biti zaèas, iznenada.
6 She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
Gospod nad vojskama pohodiæe ga gromom i trusom i hukom velikom, vihorom i burom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire.
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
I mnoštvo svijeh naroda koji vojuju na Aril i svi koji udaraju na nj i na zidove njegove i koji ga pritješnjuju, biæe kao utvara noæna u snu.
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
Biæe kao kad gladan sni da jede, pa kad se probudi a duša mu prazna; ili kad sni žedan da pije, pa kad se probudi, a on iznemogao i duša mu žedna; tako æe biti mnoštvo svijeh naroda što vojuju na goru Sionsku.
9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Stanite i èudite se; vapijte i vièite: pijani su, ali ne od vina; posræu, ali ne od silovita piæa.
10 For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
Jer je Gospod izlio na vas duh tvrdoga sna i zatvorio vam oèi, oslijepio proroke i vidioce, glavare vaše.
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”
I svaka utvara biæe vam kao rijeèi u zapeèaæenoj knjizi, koju dadu èovjeku koji zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne mogu, jer je zapeèaæeno.
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t read.”
Ili da dadu knjigu onom koji ne zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne znam èitati.
13 The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
Zato reèe Gospod: što se ovaj narod približuje ustima svojima i usnama svojim poštuje me, a srce im daleko stoji od mene, i strah kojim me se boje zapovijest je ljudska kojoj su nauèeni,
14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
Zato æu evo još raditi èudesno s tijem narodom, èudesno i divno, i mudrost mudrijeh njegovijeh poginuæe i razuma razumnijeh nestaæe.
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
Teško onima koji duboko sakrivaju od Gospoda namjeru, koji rade u mraku i govore: ko nas vidi? i ko nas zna?
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
Naopake misli vaše nijesu li kao kao lonèarski? Govori li djelo za onoga koji ga je naèinio: nije me naèinio? i lonac govori li za onoga koji ga je naèinio: ne razumije?
17 Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
Neæe li se doskora i Livan pretvoriti u polje, i polje se uzimati za šumu?
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
I u taj æe dan gluhi èuti rijeèi u knjizi, i iz tame i mraka vidjeæe oèi slijepijeh.
19 The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
I krotki æe se veoma radovati u Gospodu, i ništi izmeðu ljudi veseliæe se sa sveca Izrailjeva.
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
Jer nasilnika neæe biti, i nestaæe potsmjevaèa, i istrijebiæe se svi koji gledaju da èine bezakonje,
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
Koji okrivljuju èovjeka za rijeè, i meæu zamku onome koji kara na vratima, i obaraju pravednoga lažju.
22 Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
Zato Gospod, koji je otkupio Avrama, ovako govori za dom Jakovljev: neæe se više Jakov postidjeti, niti æe mu lice poblijedjeti.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Jer kad vidi usred sebe djecu svoju, djelo ruku mojih, tada æe oni svetiti ime moje, svetiæe sveca Jakovljeva i bojaæe se Boga Izrailjeva.
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
I koji lutaju duhom orazumiæe se, i vikaèi æe primiti nauku.
