Izaija 66
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama! Kakvu kuću da mi sagradite i gdje da bude mjesto mog prebivališta?
Thus says YHWH, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is the place of my rest?
2 TÓa sve je moja ruka načinila i sve je moje” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ali na koga svoj pogled svraćam? Na siromaha i čovjeka duha ponizna koji od moje riječi dršće.
For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says YHWH: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
3 Ima ih koji kolju bika, ali i ljude ubijaju; žrtvuju ovcu, ali i psu vrat lome. Netko prinosi žrtvu, ali i krv svinjsku; prinose kad, ali časte i kipove. Kao što oni izabraše svoje putove i duši im se mile gnusobe njihove,
He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
4 tako ću i ja izabrati za njih nevolje nesmiljene, pustit ću na njih ono čega se plaše. Jer zvao sam, a nitko se ne odazva, govorio sam, a nitko ne posluša, nego su činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabrali ono što mi nije po volji.”
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
5 Poslušajte riječ Jahvinu, vi koji od njegove riječi dršćete. “Govore braća vaša koja na vas mrze i odbacuju vas radi moga imena: 'Neka se proslavi Jahve, pa da radost vašu vidimo.' Ali oni će biti postiđeni.”
Hear the word of YHWH, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let YHWH be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6 Čuj! Buka iz grada, glas iz Hrama! Glas je to Jahve koji uzvraća svojim neprijateljima.
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of YHWH that renders recompense to his enemies.
7 Prije neg' bolove oćutje, eto je rodila. Prije neg' trudove osjeti, porodi dječaka.
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
8 Tko je takvo što čuo, tko je takvo što vidio? Može li se zemlja u jednom danu napučiti? Može li se narod odjednom roditi? A tek što je osjetila trudove, Sionka rodi sinove!
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 “Zar bih ja otvorio krilo materino a da ono ne rodi?” - govori Jahve. “Zar bih ja, koji dajem rađanje, zatvorio maternicu?” - kaže Bog tvoj.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says YHWH: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says your God.
10 Veselite se s Jeruzalemom, kličite zbog njega svi koji ga ljubite! Radujte se, radujte s njime svi koji ste nad njim tugovali!
"Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11 Nadojite se i nasitite na dojkama utjehe njegove da se nasišete i nasladite na grudima krepčine njegove.
that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
12 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “Evo, mir ću na njih kao rijeku svratiti i kao potok nabujali bogatstvo naroda. Dojenčad ću njegovu na rukama nositi i milovati na koljenima.
For thus says YHWH, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13 Kao što mati tješi sina, tako ću i ja vas utješiti - utješit ćete se u Jeruzalemu.”
As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
14 Kad to vidite, srce će vam se radovati i procvast će vam kosti k'o mlada trava. Očitovat će se ruka Jahvina na njegovim slugama i gnjev nad neprijateljima njegovim.
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of YHWH shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15 Jer, evo, dolazi Jahve s ognjem - bojna su mu kola poput vihora - da u jarosti gnjev svoj iskali i prijetnje svoje u ognju žarkome.
For, look, YHWH will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Da, sudit će Jahve ognjem i mačem svakom smrtniku: pobijenih Jahvinih mnoštvo će biti.
For by fire will YHWH execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of YHWH shall be many.
17 Oni koji se posvećuju i čiste u vrtovima iza onog jednog u sredini, koji jedu svinjetinu, nečisto i miševe - svi će zajedno izginuti, riječ je Jahvina.
"Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says YHWH.
18 Ja dobro poznajem njihova djela i namjere njihove. “Dolazim da saberem sve puke i jezike, i oni će doći i vidjeti moju Slavu!
"For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will come and see my glory.
19 Postavit ću im znak i poslat ću preživjele od njih k narodima u Taršiš, Put, Lud, Mošek, Roš, Tubal i Javan - k dalekim otocima koji nisu čuli glasa o meni ni vidjeli moje Slave - i oni će naviještati Slavu moju narodima.
"I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20 I dovest će svu vašu braću između svih naroda kao prinos Jahvi - na konjima, na bojnim kolima, nosilima, na mazgama i jednogrbim devama - na Svetu goru svoju u Jeruzalemu” - govori Jahve - “kao što sinovi Izraelovi prinose prinos u čistim posudama u Domu Jahvinu.
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to YHWH, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says YHWH, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of YHWH.
21 I uzet ću sebi između njih svećenike, levite” - govori Jahve.
And I will also take some of them for myself as priests and Levites," says YHWH.
22 “Jer, kao što će nova nebesa i zemlja nova, koju ću stvoriti, trajati preda mnom” - riječ je Jahvina - “tako će vam ime i potomstvo trajati.
"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says YHWH, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
23 Od mlađaka do mlađaka, od subote do subote, dolazit će svi ljudi da se poklone pred licem mojim” - govori Jahve.
It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says YHWH.
24 Izlazeći, gledat ću trupla ljudi koji se od mene odmetnuše: crv njihov neće umrijeti i njihov se oganj neće ugasiti - bit će na gadost svim ljudima.
"They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind."
