Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
Breme Damasku. Gle, Damasak æe se ukinuti da ne bude više grad, nego æe biti gomila razvalina.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.
Gradovi Aroirski biæe ostavljeni, biæe za stada, te æe u njima poèivati, i niko ih neæe plašiti.
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says the LORD of Armies.
Nestaæe gradova Jefremovijeh i carstva u Damasku i ostatku Sirskom, biæe kao slava sinova Izrailjevijeh, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
4 “It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
I u taj æe dan istanèati slava Jakovljeva, i debelo tijelo njegovo omršaæe.
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Jer æe biti kao kad žetelac sabira žito i rukom žanje klasje, i biæe kao kad se kupi klasje u dolini Rafajskoj.
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says the LORD, the God of Israel.
Ali æe se ostaviti u njoj pabirci kao kad se otrese maslina, pa dvije tri ostanu u vrhu, i èetiri pet na rodnijem granama, veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev.
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
U to æe vrijeme èovjek pogledati na tvorca svojega, i oèi njegove gledaæe na sveca Izrailjeva;
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles or the incense altars.
A neæe pogledati na oltare, djelo ruku svojih, niti æe gledati na ono što su naèinili prsti njegovi, ni na lugove ni na likove sunèane.
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
U to æe vrijeme tvrdi gradovi njegovi biti kao ostavljen grm i ogranak, jer æe se ostaviti radi sinova Izrailjevijeh, i biæe pustoš.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
Jer si zaboravio Boga spasenja svojega, i nijesi se sjeæao stijene sile svoje; zato sadi krasne sadove i lozu stranu presaðuj;
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Danju radi da uzraste što posadiš, i jutrom gledaj da ti sjeme nikne; ali kad doðe do branja razgrabiæe se, i ostaæe ti ljuta žalost.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
Teško mnoštvu velikih naroda, što buèe kao što buèe mora, i uzavrelijem narodima, kojih stoji vreva kao silnijeh voda;
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Vreva stoji naroda kao velikih voda; ali æe povikati na njih, i oni æe pobjeæi daleko, i biæe gonjeni kao pljeva po brdima od vjetra i kao prah od vihora.
14 At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
Uveèe eto straha, i prije nego svane nema nikoga. To je dio onijeh koji nas gaze, i našljedstvo onijeh koji otimlju od nas.
