Isaiah 17
1 The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.
Breme Damasku. Gle, Damasak æe se ukinuti da ne bude više grad, nego æe biti gomila razvalina.
2 Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.
Gradovi Aroirski biæe ostavljeni, biæe za stada, te æe u njima poèivati, i niko ih neæe plašiti.
3 The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like 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 And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.
I u taj æe dan istanèati slava Jakovljeva, i debelo tijelo njegovo omršaæe.
5 And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the 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 But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile 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 a man's heart will be turned to his Maker, and his eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
U to æe vrijeme èovjek pogledati na tvorca svojega, i oèi njegove gledaæe na sveca Izrailjeva;
8 He will not be looking to the altars, the work of his hands, or to the wood pillars or to the sun-images which his fingers have made.
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 your towns will be like the waste places of the Hivites and the Amorites which the children of Israel took for a heritage, and they will come to destruction.
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 not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;
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 were watching its growth, and in the morning your seed was flowering: but its fruit is wasted away in the day of grief and bitter 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 voice of peoples, like the loud sounding of the seas, and the thundering of great nations rushing on like the bursting out of waters!
Teško mnoštvu velikih naroda, što buèe kao što buèe mora, i uzavrelijem narodima, kojih stoji vreva kao silnijeh voda;
13 But he will put a stop to them, and make them go in flight far away, driving them like the waste of the grain on the tops of the mountains before the wind, and like the circling 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 In the evening there is fear, and in the morning they are gone. This is the fate of those who take our goods, and the reward of those who violently take our property for themselves.
Uveèe eto straha, i prije nego svane nema nikoga. To je dio onijeh koji nas gaze, i našljedstvo onijeh koji otimlju od nas.
