Isaiah 8
1 The LORD said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
I reèe mi Gospod: uzmi knjigu veliku i napiši u njoj pismom èovjeèijim: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the cohen, and Zechariah the son of Berechiah."
I uzeh vjerne svjedoke, Uriju sveštenika i Zahariju sina Jeverehijina.
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
Potom pristupih k proroèici, i ona zatrudnje i rodi sina. A Gospod mi reèe: nadjeni mu ime: brz na plijen, hitar na grabež.
4 For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
Jer prije nego dijete nauèi vikati: oèe moj i majko moja, odnijeæe se blago Damaštansko i plijen Samarijski pred carem Asirskim.
5 The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
I još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi:
6 "Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
Što ovaj narod ne mari za vodu Siloamsku koja teèe tiho, i raduje se Resinu i sinu Remalijinu,
7 now therefore, look, the LORD brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
Zato, evo, Gospod æe navesti na njih vodu iz rijeke silnu i veliku, cara Asirskoga i svu slavu njegovu, te æe izaæi iz svijeh potoka svojih, i teæi æe povrh svijeh bregova svojih,
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.
I navaliæe preko Jude, plaviæe i razlivaæe se i doæi do grla, i krila æe joj se raširiti preko svekolike zemlje tvoje, Emanuilo!
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces. Listen, all you from far countries. Prepare for battle, and be shattered.
Združujte se, narodi, ali æete se potrti; èujte svi koji ste u daljnoj zemlji: oružajte se, ali æete se potrti; oružajte se, ali æete se potrti.
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."
Dogovarajte se, dogovor æe vam se razbiti: recite rijeè, neæe biti od nje ništa, jer je s nama Bog.
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Jer mi ovako reèe Gospod uhvativši me za ruku i opomenuvši me da ne idem putem ovoga naroda, govoreæi:
12 "Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
Ne govorite buna, kad god ovaj narod kaže buna, i ne bojte se èega se on boji, i ne plašite se.
13 The LORD of hosts is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
Gospoda nad vojskama svetite; i on neka vam je strah i bojazan.
14 And he will be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock that makes them fall to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I biæe vam svetinja, a kamen za spoticanje i stijena za sablazan objema domovima Izrailjevijem, zamka i mreža stanovnicima Jerusalimskim.
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
I spotaknuæe se mnogi i pašæe i satræe se, zaplešæe se i uhvatiæe se.
16 Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
Sveži svjedoèanstvo, zapeèati zakon mojim uèenicima.
17 I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
Èekaæu dakle Gospoda, koji je sakrio lice svoje od doma Jakovljeva, i uzdaæu se u nj.
18 Look, I and the children whom God has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
Evo ja i djeca koju mi je dao Gospod jesmo znak i èudo Izrailju od Gospoda nad vojskama, koji nastava na gori Sionu.
19 When they tell you, "Consult with the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits who chirp and who mutter. Shouldn't a people consult with their gods, by consulting the dead on behalf of the living?"
I ako vam reku: pitajte vraèe i gatare, koji šapæu i mrmljaju; recite: ne treba li narod da pita Boga svojega? ili æe pitati mrtve mjesto živijeh?
20 Turn to the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Zakon i svjedoèanstvo tražite. Ako li ko ne govori tako, njemu nema zore.
21 They will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
I hodiæe po zemlji potucajuæi se i gladujuæi; i kad bude gladan, ljutiæe se i psovati cara svojega i Boga svojega gore.
22 and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
A kad pogleda na zemlju, a to nevolja i mrak i teška muka, i on zagnan u tamu.
