Isaiah 8
1 Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
Reče Jahve: “Uzmi veliku ploču i napiši na njoj ljudskim pismom: Maher Šalal Haš Baz - Brz grabež - hitar plijen.”
2 Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
Potom uzeh vjerne svjedoke, svećenika Uriju i Zahariju, sina Berekjina.
3 After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
Približih se proročici te ona zače i rodi sina. Jahve mi reče: “Nazovi ga Maher Šalal Haš Baz,
4 For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
jer prije no što dijete počne tepati 'tata' i 'mama', nosit će se pred kralja asirskog sve bogatstvo Damaska i plijen Samarije.”
5 And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
I opet mi reče Jahve:
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
“Jer narod ovaj odbacuje mirne tekućice Šiloaha, a dršće pred Rasonom i pred sinom Remalijinim,
7 Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
navest će Gospod na vas vodu Eufrata, silnu i veliku - kralja asirskog i svu slavu njegovu - i ona će izići iz rukava svoga, preliti se preko svih obala;
8 And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
provalit će u Judeju, razlit' se i poplaviti je, popeti se do grla njezina; i krila će svoja raširiti preko cijele tvoje zemlje, o Emanuele.”
9 Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
Udružite se samo, narodi, al' bit ćete smrvljeni! Poslušajte, vi kraljevi daleki, pašite se, bit ćete smrvljeni, pašite se, bit ćete smrvljeni!
10 Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
Kujte naum - bit će uništen, dogovarajte se samo, bit će uzalud, jer s nama je Bog!
11 For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
Jer, ovako mi reče Jahve, kad me rukom uhvatio i opomenuo da ne idem putem kojim narod ovaj ide:
12 Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
“Ne zovite urotom sve što narod ovaj urotom zove; ne bojte se čega se on boji i nemajte straha.
13 Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
Jahve nad Vojskama - on jedini nek' vam svet bude; jedino se njega bojte, strah od njega nek' vas prožme.
14 And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
On će vam biti zamka i kamen spoticanja i stijena posrtanja za obje kuće Izraelove, zamka i mreža svim Jeruzalemcima.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
Mnogi će od njih posrnuti, pasti, razbiti se, zaplesti se, uhvatiti.”
16 Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
Pohrani ovo svjedočanstvo, zapečati ovu objavu među učenicima svojim:
17 Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
Čekat ću Jahvu koji je lice svoje sakrio od doma Jakovljeva - u njega ja se uzdam.
18 Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Evo, ja i djeca koju mi Jahve dade Izraelu smo znak i znamenje od Jahve nad Vojskama što prebiva na Gori sionskoj.
19 And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
Reknu li vam: “Duhove pitajte i vrače koji šapću i mrmljaju” - dakako, narod mora pitati svoje “bogove” i za žive u mrtvih se raspitivati! -
20 To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
Uza Zakon! Uza svjedočanstvo! Tko ne rekne tako, zoru neće dočekati.
21 Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
Lutat će zemljom potlačen i gladan, izgladnjela bijes će ga spopasti, proklinjat će svoga kralja i svog Boga. Okrene l' se k nebu,
22 And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
pogleda l' po zemlji, gle, svuda samo mrak i strava, svuda tmina tjeskobna. Ali će se tama raspršiti,
