Isaija 30
1 Teško sinovima odmetnicima, govori Gospod, koji sastavljaju namjere koje nijesu od mene, zaklanjaju se za zaklon koji nije od moga duha, da domeæu grijeh na grijeh;
“Woe to the rebellious children,” says Adonai, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
2 Koji slaze u Misir ne pitajuæi šta æu ja reæi, da se ukrijepe silom Faraonovom i da se zaklone pod sjenom Misirskim.
who set out to go down into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt [Abode of slavery]!
3 Jer æe vam sila Faraonova biti na sramotu, i zaklon pod sjenom Misirskim na porugu.
Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt [Abode of slavery] your confusion.
4 Jer knezovi njegovi biše u Soanu, i poslanici njegovi doðoše u Hanes.
For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
5 Ali æe se svi posramiti s naroda, koji im neæe pomoæi, niti æe im biti na korist ni na dobit, nego na sramotu i na porugu.
They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.”
6 Tovar æe biti na stoci južnoj: u zemlju gdje je nevolja i muka, gdje su lavovi i laviæi, guje i zmajevi ognjeni krilati, odnijeæe blago svoje magarcima na ramenima i bogatstvo svoje kamilama na grbama, k narodu koji neæe pomoæi.
The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
7 Jer æe Misirci uzalud i naprazno pomagati; zato vièem o tom: jaèina im je da sjede s mirom.
For Egypt [Abode of slavery] helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still.
8 Sada idi, napiši ovo pred njima na dašèicu, napiši u knjigu, da ostane za vremena koja æe doæi, dovijeka;
Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9 Jer su narod nepokoran, sinovi lažljivi, sinovi koji neæe da slušaju zakona Gospodnjega;
For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not sh'ma ·hear obey· Adonai’s Torah ·Teaching·;
10 Koji govore vidiocima: nemojte viðati, i prorocima: nemojte nam prorokovati što je pravo, govorite nam mile stvari, prorokujte prijevaru;
who tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and to the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
11 Svrnite s puta, otstupite od staze, neka nestane ispred nas sveca Izrailjeva.
Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails] to cease from before us.”
12 Zato ovako veli svetac Izrailjev: kad odbacujete ovu rijeè, i uzdate se u prijevaru i opaèinu i na nju se oslanjate,
Therefore thus says the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;
13 Zato æe vam to bezakonje biti kao pukotina u zidu koji hoæe da padne, koja izdigne zid visoko, te se naglo ujedanput obori.
therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
14 I razbiæe ga kao što se razbija razbijen sud lonèarski, ne žali se, te se ne naðe ni crijepa kad se razbije da uzmeš oganj s ognjišta ili da zahvatiš vode iz jame.
He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
15 Jer ovako govori Gospod Gospod, svetac Izrailjev: ako se povratite i budete mirni, izbaviæete se, u miru i uzdanju biæe sila vaša; ali vi neæete.
For thus said the Lord Adonai, the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], “You will be saved in making teshuvah ·complete return· and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
16 Nego govorite: ne; nego æemo na konjma pobjeæi. Zato æete bježati. Pojahaæemo brze konje. Zato æe biti brži koji æe vas tjerati.
but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
17 Bježaæe vas tisuæa kad jedan povièe; kad povièu petorica, bježaæete svi, dokle ne ostanete kao okresano drvo navrh gore i kao zastava na humu.
One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
18 A zato èeka Gospod da se smiluje na vas, i zato æe se uzvisiti da vas pomiluje; jer je Gospod pravedan Bog; blago svjema koji ga èekaju.
Therefore Adonai will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have racham ·merciful love· on you, for Adonai is a God of mishpat ·justice·. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 Jer æe narod nastavati u Sionu, u Jerusalimu; neæeš više plakati, doista æe te pomilovati kad povièeš; èim te èuje, odazvaæe ti se.
For the people will dwell in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] at Jerusalem [City of peace]. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he sh'ma ·hears obeys· you, he will answer you.
20 Premda æe vam Gospod dati hljeba tužnoga i vode nevoljnièke; ali ti se više neæe uzimati uèitelji tvoji, nego æe oèi tvoje gledati uèitelje tvoje,
Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won’t be hidden any more, but your eyes will see your teachers;
21 I uši æe tvoje slušati rijeè iza tebe gdje govori: to je put, idite njim, ako biste svrnuli nadesno ili nalijevo.
and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will sh'ma ·hear obey· a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 I oprzniæete posrebrene likove svoje rezane i zlatno odijelo likova livenijeh, i baciæete ih kao neèistotu, i reæi æeš im: odlazite.
You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!”
23 I daæe dažd sjemenu tvojemu koje posiješ na njivi, i hljeb od roda zemaljskoga biæe obilat i sit; tada æe stoka tvoja pasti na paši prostranoj.
He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
24 Volovi i magarci, što rade zemlju, ješæe èistu zob ovijanu lopatom i rešetom.
The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
25 I na svakoj gori visokoj i na svakom humu visokom biæe izvori i potoci, kad bude pokolj veliki, kad popadaju kule.
There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 I svjetlost æe mjeseèna biti kao svjetlost sunèana, a svjetlost æe sunèana biti sedam puta veæa, kao svjetlost od sedam dana, kad Gospod zavije ulom narodu svojemu i iscijeli rane koje mu je zadao.
Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Adonai binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
27 Gle, ime Gospodnje ide izdaleka, gnjev njegov gori i vrlo je težak; usne su mu pune ljutine i jezik mu je kao oganj koji sažiže.
Behold, Adonai’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
28 A duh mu je kao potok koji plavi i dopire do grla, da rasije narode da otidu u ništa, i biæe u èeljustima narodima uzda koja æe ih goniti da lutaju.
His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
29 Pjevaæete kao noæu uoèi praznika, i veseliæete se od srca kao onaj koji ide sa sviralom na goru Gospodnju, k stijeni Izrailjevoj,
You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Adonai’s mountain, to Israel [God prevails]’s Rock.
30 I Gospod æe pustiti da se èuje slava glasa njegova, i pokazaæe kako maše rukom svojom s ljutijem gnjevom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire, s raspom i sa silnijem daždem i s gradom.
Adonai will cause his glorious voice to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
31 Jer æe se od glasa Gospodnjega prepasti Asirac, koji je bio palicom.
For through Adonai’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
32 I kuda god proðe palica pouzdana, kojom æe Gospod navaliti na nj, biæe bubnji i gusle, i ratovima žestokim ratovaæe na njih.
Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Adonai will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
33 Jer je veæ pripravljen Tofet, i samom caru pripravljen je, naèinio je dubok i širok; mjesta, ognja i drva ima mnogo; dah Gospodnji kao potok sumporni upaliæe ga.
For Tophet (Place of fiery torment for the dead, located in Gehenna), his burning place, has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Adonai’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
