< Izaija 2 >

1 Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, o Judeji i Jeruzalemu:
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Dogodit će se na kraju dana: Gora Doma Jahvina bit će postavljena vrh svih gora, uzvišena iznad svih bregova. K njoj će se stjecati svi narodi,
And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed to it.
3 nagrnut će mnoga plemena i reći: “Hajde, uziđimo na Goru Jahvinu, pođimo u Dom Boga Jakovljeva! On će nas naučiti svojim putovima, hodit ćemo stazama njegovim. Jer će iz Siona Zakon doći, iz Jeruzalema riječ Jahvina.”
And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
4 On će biti sudac narodima, mnogim će sudit' plemenima, koji će mačeve prekovati u plugove, a koplja u srpove. Neće više narod dizat' mača protiv naroda nit' se više učit' ratovanju.
And He has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—war.
5 Hajde, dome Jakovljev, u Jahvinoj hodimo svjetlosti!
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
6 Da, ti si svoj odbacio narod, dom Jakovljev, jer je pun vračeva s istoka i gatara kao Filistejci, bratime se s tuđincima.
For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
7 Zemlja mu je puna srebra i zlata i blagu mu kraja nema; zemlja mu je puna konja, kolima mu broja nema.
And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
8 Zemlja mu je prepuna kumira i oni se klanjaju pred djelom ruku svojih, pred onim što njihovi načiniše prsti.
And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
9 Smrtnik će se poviti, čovjek sniziti; ne praštaj im.
And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
10 Uđi među pećine, skrij se u prašinu, pred užasom Jahvinim, pred sjajem veličanstva njegova, kad ustane da potrese zemlju.
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
11 Ohol pogled bit će skršen i bahatost ljudska ponižena. Jahve će se uzvisiti, on jedini - u dan onaj.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
12 Da, bit će to dan Jahve nad Vojskama, protiv svih oholih i bahatih, protiv sviju što se uzvisiše, da ih obori;
For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 protiv svih cedrova libanonskih i svih hrastova bašanskih;
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 protiv svih gora uznositih i svih bregova uzdignutih;
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 protiv svake visoke tvrđe i svih tvrdih zidina;
And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
16 protiv sveg brodovlja taršiškog i svih brodova raskošnih.
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 Oholost ljudska skršit će se i bahatost ljudska poniziti. Jahve će se uzvisiti, on jedini - u dan onaj,
And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
18 i kumiri će netragom nestati.
And the idols—they completely pass away.
19 Uđite u rupe među pećinama i u spilje zemaljske pred užasom Jahvinim, pred sjajem veličanstva njegova, kad ustane da potrese zemlju.
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
20 U dan onaj: bacit će svaki svoje srebro i zlatne kumire koje sebi načini da im se klanja,
In that day man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
21 kad uteče u šupljine pećina i u raspukline stijena pred užasom Jahvinim, pred sjajem veličanstva njegova, kad ustane da potrese zemlju.
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22 Čuvajte se, dakle, čovjeka koji ima samo jedan dah u nosnicama: jer što vrijedi?
Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
