Isaija 66

1 Ovako veli Gospod: nebo je prijesto moj i zemlja podnožje nogama mojim: gdje je dom koji biste mi sazidali, i gdje je mjesto za moje poèivanje?

Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build to me? and where [is] the place of my rest?

2 Jer je sve to ruka moja stvorila, to je postalo sve, veli Gospod; ali na koga æu pogledati? na nevoljnoga i na onoga ko je skrušena duha i ko drkæe od moje rijeèi.

For all these [things] hath my hand made, and all these [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this man [will] I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

3 Ko kolje vola, to je kao da ubije èovjeka; ko kolje ovcu, to je kao da zakolje psa; ko prinosi dar, to je kao da prinese krv svinjeæu; ko kadi kadom, to je kao da blagoslovi idola. To oni izabraše na putovima svojim, i duši se njihovoj mile gadovi njihovi.

He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

4 Izabraæu i ja prema nevaljalstvu njihovu, i pustiæu na njih èega se boje; jer zvah a niko se ne odazva, govorih a oni ne slušaše, nego èiniše što je zlo preda mnom i izabraše što meni nije po volji.

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.

5 Slušajte rijeè Gospodnju, koji drkæete od njegove rijeèi: braæa vaša, koja mrze na vas i izgone vas imena mojega radi, govore: neka se pokaže slava Gospodnja. I pokazaæe se na vašu radost, a oni æe se posramiti.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

6 Vika ide iz grada, glas iz crkve, glas Gospodnji koji plaæa neprijateljima svojim.

A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies.

7 Ona se porodi prije nego osjeti bolove, prije nego joj doðoše muke, rodi djetiæa.

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a male child.

8 Ko je igda èuo to? ko je vidio tako što? Može li zemlja roditi u jedan dan? može li se narod roditi ujedanput? a Sion rodi sinove svoje èim osjeti bolove.

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

9 Eda li ja, koji otvoram matericu, ne mogu roditi? veli Gospod; eda li æu ja, koji dajem da se raða, biti bez poroda? veli Bog tvoj.

Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God.

10 Radujte se s Jerusalimom i veselite se u njemu svi koji ga ljubite; radujte se s njim svi koji ga žaliste.

Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

11 Jer æete sati sise od utjehe njegove, i nasitiæete se, saæete i naslaðivaæete se u svjetlosti slave njegove.

That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may draw milk, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

12 Jer ovako veli Gospod: gle, ja æu kao rijeku dovesti k njemu mir i slavu naroda kao potok bujan, pa æete sati; biæete nošeni na rukama i milovani na koljenima.

For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees.

13 Kao kad koga mati njegova tješi tako æu ja vas tješiti, i utješiæete se u Jerusalimu.

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 Vidjeæete i obradovaæe se srce vaše i kosti æe se vaše pomladiti kao trava, i znaæe se ruka Gospodnja na slugama njegovijem i gnjev na neprijateljima njegovijem.

And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known towards his servants, and [his] indignation towards his enemies.

15 Jer, gle, Gospod æe doæi s ognjem, i kola æe mu biti kao vihor, da izlije gnjev svoj u jarosti i prijetnju u plamenu ognjenom.

For behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 Jer æe Gospod suditi ognjem i maèem svojim svakom tijelu, i mnogo æe biti pobijenijeh od Gospoda.

For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

17 Koji se osveštavaju i koji se oèišæaju u vrtovima jedan za drugim javno, koji jedu meso svinjeæe i stvari gadne i miše, svi æe izginuti, veli Gospod.

They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

18 A ja znam djela njihova i misli njihove, i doæi æe vrijeme, te æu sabrati sve narode i jezike, i doæi æe i vidjeæe slavu moju.

For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

19 I postaviæu znak na njih, i poslaæu izmeðu njih koji se spasu k narodima u Tarsis, u Ful i u Lud, koji natežu luk, u Tuval i u Javan i na daljna ostrva, koja ne èuše glasa o meni niti vidješe slave moje, i javljaæe slavu moju po narodima.

And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them to the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

20 I svu æe braæu vašu iz svijeh naroda dovesti Gospodu na dar na konjima i na kolima i na nosilima i na mazgama i na kamilama ka svetoj gori mojoj u Jerusalim, veli Gospod, kao što prinose sinovi Izrailjevi dar u èistu sudu u dom Gospodnji.

And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

21 I izmeðu njih æu uzeti sveštenike i Levite, veli Gospod.

And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD.

22 Jer kao što æe nova nebesa i nova zemlja, što æu ja naèiniti, stajati preda mnom, veli Gospod, tako æe stajati sjeme vaše i ime vaše.

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

23 I od mladine do mladine, i od subote do subote dolaziæe svako tijelo da se pokloni preda mnom, veli Gospod.

And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

24 I izlaziæe i gledaæe mrtva tjelesa onijeh ljudi koji se odmetnuše od mene; jer crv njihov neæe umrijeti i oganj njihov neæe se ugasiti, i biæe gad svakom tijelu.

And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.
