Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land.
Breme pustinji na moru. Kao vihori koji prolaze na jug, tako æe doæi iz pustinje, iz zemlje strašne.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
Ljuta utvara javi mi se. Nevjernik nevjeru èini, pustošnik pustoši; hodi, Elame; opkoli, Midijo! svemu uzdisanju uèiniæu kraj.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with anguish; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
Zato su bedra moja puna bola; muke me obuzeše kao kad se muèi porodilja; zgurih se èujuæi, prepadoh se videæi.
4 My heart panteth, horror hath affrighted me: the twilight that I desired hath been turned into trembling unto me.
Srce mi se smete, groza me poduze; noæ milina mojih pretvori mi se u strah.
5 They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink: rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield.
Postavi sto, stražar neka straži; jedi, pij; ustajte knezovi, mažite štitove.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth:
Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: idi, postavi stražara da ti javi što vidi.
7 and when he seeth a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed.
I vidje kola, i dva reda konjika; kola s magarcima i kola s kamilama; i pažaše dobro velikom pažnjom.
8 And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights:
I povika kao lav: gospodaru, ja stojim jednako na straži danju, i stojim na straži po svu noæ.
9 and, behold, here cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.
I evo doðoše na kolima ljudi, u dva reda konjici. Tada povika i reèe: pade, pade Vavilon, i svi rezani likovi bogova njegovijeh razbiše se o zemlju.
10 O thou my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
Vršaju moj, i pšenice gumna mojega! što èuh od Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga Izrailjeva, javih vam.
11 The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
Breme Dumi. Vièe k meni neko sa Sira: stražaru! šta bi noæas? stražaru! šta bi noæas?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: turn ye, come.
Stražar reèe: doæi æe jutro, ali i noæ; ako æete tražiti, tražite, vratite se, doðite.
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanites.
Breme Arapskoj. Po šumama u Arapskoj noæivaæete, putnici Dedanski!
14 Unto him that was thirsty they brought water; the inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitives with their bread.
Iznesite vode pred žedne, koji živite u zemlji Temi, sretite s hljebom bjegunca.
15 For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
Jer æe bježati od maèa, od maèa gologa, od luka zapetoga i od žestokoga boja.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
Jer ovako mi reèe Gospod: za godinu, kao što je godina najamnièka, nestaæe sve slave Kidarske.
17 and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be few: for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.
I što ostane hrabrijeh strijelaca sinova Kidarskih, biæe malo; jer Gospod Bog Izrailjev reèe.
